Urban pirate, takes on civi-bears with loyal drone and cloak?
I'd be surprised if anyone in New Eden got to a ripe old without a skellibob or two to worry about.
The protagonists ambiguous sympathies was very well developed. I approve.
I would love to hear of a DUSTie kicking through that particular plot too, impractical as that may be.
in other news, did I miss the explanation of 514? or is that yet to be revealed? |

No wonder all the news articles were so slanted (with many errors, like "Caldari Provincial Directorate", which doesn't exist and should have read "Caldari Providence Directorate" and the Caldari Navy commanding officer is really Admiral Morda Engsten and not Mininela Erinen, who's name still appears in-game info because some devs were too lazy to keep up with their own lore).
Could we please get the Caldari side of these events? You know, one that doesn't paint us all as monsters for taking back our own homeland. Or a more objective story would suffice.
Also, when it comes to the news articles, all we ever see are ones from The Scope. What about articles from Echelon Entertainment or the Amarrian news service? Need more variety, out of fairness, devs!
Since when has New Eden been fair? It is as beautiful and treacherous as anyone who captures your heart, takes your time and liberates your money. Heth got is pet Titan into Luminaire via treachery; you are monsters. Prove me wrong. |

Seriously guys let's cut down on the hype for a bit, and enjoy the story without all the supposed pride, why don't we?
I don't know, if an in game event of this magnitude does not engender a flutter of emotion; pride, rage whatever - there is something wrong.
I find the sniping at errors more distressing than the playful banter. As an illustrator, I like to think of EVE as a collaborative arts project, with individuals contributing their time and energies to the crazi multi-media tapestry that is New Eden. That's one of the reasons the loss of EON magazine was such a blow.
Your PLEX buys you the dark arts of a talented author as well as freedom to stomp around the universe holding grudges.
So no thanks. I'm here for pride, hype and blasterfire.

He started gardening again before the invasion so this isn't possible, sorry
There were plenty of civilian squidsters squirting around Prime prior to the invasion. They did not all run howling into the wilds when the hardliners wrapped them on the knuckles. But that is not the point. The point is that we don't know.
If we did know one way or another I'd either sponsor him for the Capsualeer genome development or have the rest of his family introduced to the hospitality of the Special Department of Internal Investigations. |

The only problem I have with it is the burying of the bodies in the garden. Burying fish is viable as fish decompose into a natural fertilizer plants can readily enjoy. Meat - Human or otherwise - is terrible fertilizer. Land animals die above ground and are eaten by various creatures from bacteria to large scavengers (like dogs). The waste these eaters produce is the fertilizer. Meat buried in the ground doesn't become fertilizer unless it's eaten by worms. If his garden truly grew to encompass both neighboring yards, it would require virtually every worm on the planet to convert that much meat.
OK, I realize it never mentions that he buried the bodies whole and unprocessed, but his fear of people finding the bodies seems to indicate that they were buried as bodies and not pre-processed.
Of course, the story also never mentions how he was able to provide food for his dog...
Interesting to compare Primes' entomology with ours, but not entirely relevant. For all we know the Biting Roach originated from Prime. Actually, that would explain a LOT about Caldari discipline.

I do enjoy a good theological theoretical debate. Living in domes for centuries probably did more to mold Caldari mentality than anything else and quite literally imposed a glass ceiling upon their thinking.
re-reading that wiki made me realise that Nouvelle Rouvenor was all about imposing Caldari values on the Gallente psyche and that bursting that bubble killed off the best Gallente Caldari education program to date. Lookit, even Gallente space stations have an element of open sky about them. I love artistic integrity of this game.
Worms or no worms, one thing is certain, the survivors of the EVE universe know how to biomass. |
