Mining Blitz
Mining Blitz was an event that ran from 9 March to 16 March 2022. It is the same as the old Resource Wars.
Fly solo or with a group of friends and gather unique resources from Mining Expedition event sites while fending off NPC attacks, then deliver the ore to a nearby NPC Orca. Depending on how fast the site is completed, you will get ISK and Loyalty Points, and the latter can be traded in at special Resource Wars LP stores for exclusive SKINs - including a new freighter SKIN - and apparel.
Event Sites
The sites appear as beacons in the overview, and come in 5 types of increasing difficulty. Each site has a limited number of pilots that can enter as well as restrictions on the type of ships that can enter each level. As the site increases in size, it also increases in difficulty, payout, number of pilots allowed, and types of ships allowed
