An unsurprising development on the Antikythera front: weaponization has already begun.

Given our currently limited understanding, how exactly a weaponized Antikythera Element will play out is uncertain. All we really know at this stage is that they continue to generate or receive power, and appear to be components of larger systems. Beyond that, it's honestly still a bit of a black box, as non-destructive inquiry can't yield much at all.
Hopefully some recent work with the assistance of a small consortium of Caldari capsuleers and a number of Arek'jalaan researchers will provide more answers.

You know that a new technology is going to be perverted when politics come into play.
Of all the Empires, Amarr... I hope somebody, anybody will be able to understand this tech faster than them.

Yes, because we all know how responsible the Republic would be with it, blowing up CONCORD stations and launching small invasions of the Federation every now and then. |

Wonder if they're operating on an assumption that the Element is somehow connected to the Drifters' superweapon. Did capsuleers document use of that weapon before the Observatories were excised? |

It is human nature to take every opportunity to gain advantage over another group of humans. This should hardly surprise any of you.
What I am more concerned with is the drifters themselves. Us capsuleers may one day find out that we are no longer the top of the food chain, atleast if we don't find a way to move back to the top again.

There's no specific mention of Antikythera, although I'm sure they're looking at it along with whatever else they've been pulling out of Drifter wrecks.
My question is where they are obtaining the salvage. Has it been through Capsuleer auxiliaries? Or has the Amarr Empire been conducting its own military operations against the Drifters? |

Ms. Vero; actually, it's in the headline. Unfortunately, due to Galnet forum limitations, I had to trail off before that mention. My apologies.
That said, I'd suspect the Empire has engaged both Seekers and Drifters; we recently saw news of a Matari taskforce engaging Drifters, though indications were that this engagement was unsuccessful.

The Empire is the whole reason the elder fleet attacked Concord, the blood is on the hands of the Amarr for making that necessary in the first place. The Republic has plenty of problems you dont need to add blame for things that were merely reasonable responses to a situation that the Empire created. |

And while the Minmatar have been so preoccupied with the 'threat' that the Empire poses, even so restrained by treaties and international peacekeeping forces represented by CONCORD, Sansha Kuvakei has risen back to power, nullsec entities have sown chaos across the frontier, the pirate nations remain intact, and now invaders from another galaxy are doing God-knows-what in our backyards.
Really, the Empire and its research projects are the least of everyone's concern. If anything it will fall to us to defend humanity from the mounting threats forming across the cluster and beyond since nobody else seems to have the backbone to do so. |

The Amarr ain't saints either. Just remember, when you have that shiny new toy, it won't be long till we have one too. I'm not even going to pretend to take the moral high ground, we'll field it ruthlessly if given the opportunity and provicataion. It's probably best if nobody had it..... But the inevitable creep of technology can't be stopped, so bring on the doomsday devices.

Me? I'm waiting for Soter to announce his imminent invasion and blockade of Amarr.
What?
If a destroyer is a "direct escalation of the Second Caldari-Gallente war, and requires a full retaliatory response," then a new Amarr weapon system based off the Drifter's tech should be reason to go try and blockade the Empress right?

Death and destruction will come if Sansha revverse engineer it first. But at least I can shoot these mindless shells down. Amarr? No, I can't. And I won't, there are good people, you know.

Perhaps the lot of you could stop bickering about who is least trustworthy with possession of the drifter technology and be grateful for a moment that any of us are able to obtain and learn from it in the first place.
There will be no need to argue amongst yourselves if the drifters decide they wish to annihilate everybody, and personally i have seen little evidence that we would survive a true invasion if it were to happen.
I believe it would be in everyone's best interest if we focus on making sure we survive them before we worry about the Ammarians. |

Doesn't the Empress already have a superweapon on par with these Drifters? I seem to remember reports of her fielding an Abbadon that was destroying Minmatar vessels in a single shot. |

Kraid-haan; report of the Empress Jamyl single-handedly destroying a Matari capital ship fleet came alongside reports of her rising from the dead as salvation from God, I believe. I'm not sure I can speak as to how reliable these reports are.

Well, something destroyed that Minmatar fleet. You can visit the wreckage.
Of course, a zombie savior princess with a superweapon is something that even a disreputable publisher of pulp fiction would reject, but it appears we have no choice. |

As for seeing the "big picture" we in the Republic see it quite well and much better than any other people who haven't forcibly been made a part of the empire. So long as the so-called reclaiming remains part of imperial policy/doctrine/dogma the Amarr will continue to be a threat to the rest of humanity. That's exactly why we remain vigilant.
P.S. Just for the record, Pilot Shutaq, there are Matari ships, crews and pilots in space each and every day battling against the Sansha monsters (that incidentally were originally nurtured and shielded in Amarr space), the Angels, Blooders, EOM, Guristas, etc. Just because we also view you imperials as a clear and present danger to our people doesn't mean that other threats have disappeared from our radar
When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

I'm not sure I can speak as to how reliable these reports are. Yes, because nobody comes back from the dead nowadays. She's a capsuleer, so that's hardly a feat, though the claim as being salvation from god is what stretches credibility.
Still, I remain surprised the Amarr let a clone lead them. |

We aren't, we are expendable reusable assets. The empires take a calculated risk releasing us into the wild but in Empire space at least they still have CONCORD to keep us in line. Sometimes I think the faction wars going on in various areas are just to keep us entertained and occupied anywhere but in Empire space, but without us going rogue in null. |

Her Imperial Majesty is not a clone.
On this topic: How is this news surprising people? Reverse engineering drifter technology should be expected considering how powerful it is and how much of a threat they can potentially pose to us. The other empires would have to be really stupid if they are not doing the same thing.
You people will complain about anything.

Even if it is not viable for weaponisation, at least with our current technological boundaries, then it would at least provide knowledge of what can defend against them, so that in time we can actually defend ourselves against their devestating weaponary.
