4.2.1 is set to release later today (see MotD).

With 4.2.1 we'll see the new resource drive event.

There are permanent rewards that will be tied to your account for anyone completing these.
You can complete them for all 4 factions.
Journal has been updated to show a progress bar (both overall among all players and personal bars per faction).
event commodities will not be purchasable for the duration of this event.
commodities/progress can be earned through:
- FPS missions (recover cargo)
- Distress missions (protect hauler ships)
- Hauling missions
- Recover cargo (Fly to a "dead" ship and either transport cargo to your ship, or "borrow" the cargo ship and transport it directly).

Rewards for the overall winning mega corporation:

Stanton-Pyro jumppoint will be owned by this corporation
City Landing zone, station, and jump point will get a 5% discount across all goods.
Elite (black matte) version of the faction's Tier 2 armor reward.

This event is right up my ally, I am excited to play through it. I was trying to save up for a C2 Herc in time to for it to start, but I'll have to earn the last couple mil I need for it running resources for ArcCorp - and I hope they name the jump gate to Pyro "Area 69" when they win.

Same, I am also pretty psyched for this event. Go MicroTech :D

"Oi, this company (ASD) is going too far with their research. Kill them all!"
"Imperator Eddison has now relaxed scientific research as a means to try and further push the drive to really end this crisis across Stanton."

Yeah, makes sense. Please don't take this comment too seriously.

Non combat event which has a chance to stay non combat and UI change are much appreciated. Lets hope things work out properly throughout the whole thing.
