Hmmm yeah we have a lot of new players too. Here’s a warning. Unlike many other activities here this is in fact brutally PVP sometimes.
No negativity intended, this is a different sort of event.
On popular worlds, the timers get tight. Unlike regular meteors, when you trigger a region center, the meteor spawns near the outside of the region, and it’s a real race. Once the timers dial in it’s hard, sometimes a whole planet needs a cooldown.
If you come at this thinking that if you spawned a meteor it’s “yours” you’re likely to be disappointed. Once it’s spawned it’s a race and a free for all. The meteor core loot goes to all players present, so do the sacs. But the blocks are for who gets them first.
With the right attitude, it’s a ton of fun.
Every instance of the event has caused a ton of wailing 
It’s also worth mentioning for people that haven’t done one - it’s not all glass and gleam here. In the last event there were 22 block types. This allows you to not only capture the rare colors, but to collect resources in colors that are assigned to planets but don’t actually spawn there, which is really nice.
With the proper expectations, it’s a super fun event. Just don’t be expecting to go right out and collect a ton of gleam in marvelous rare colors right off the bat. There more to it than that.
Here’s a look at some shots from one event where I spent most of a week doing nothing but primarily cleaning up dormant meteors:
Looking forward to this one I hope I get to spend at least a couple of days running hard. Especially since I just got two awesome sets of grapples from @Blendly.
