I was wondering when we'd start to see some news items/events about the change in relations between the Thukkers and the Republic. It's now been over two months since the cold war patch was released, and AFAIK no explanation has been given for the change in standings.

It would be nice to have some resolution.
I mean, we did a load of IC posts on the summit about it, trying to push it along.
Oh, and while your there, we tried the same with the Cure arc and old kelun and his angels.
We are trying, but we dont hear nothing, so its kinda, well, it is very disheartening. Kinda makes people think they wont bother, which is a crying shame. -

CCP if you cannot even find time to write the stories then don't make the in game changes. Could the Thukker standing change have waited a little until you got around to it in the news pages?
We were fobbed off and cut adrift in the vitoc cure thing, and now it had all drifted away anyway with nothing fresh from the blood raiders.
The gallente elections seem to have been forgotten even though people are lined up for it as sponsors. Are the Amarr getting a new emperor any time soon? What role will the Sarum family play there?
Come on guys, we are drooling here. Seems half the story is asleep. ------

I mean, what happened to all the story arcs? Are they just all being shelved and scrapped? It'd be nice to be told as opposed to hanging by threads. No more RP for EVE? -

I don't like the feeling of being left out in dead water with no way to row or sail. Working for all but Ammatar is close to impossible in Derelik. I loved the region because of the mix of Thukker, Minmatar and Ammatar stations very much. But these days, there are death traps all over.
And I certainly cannot imagine a reason why the fiercly independent fighters against slavery suddenly turn around and hug Angels. Especially since the Khanid and Amarr are in love with each other, despite substancial rumors about the former emperor being killed by Khanid agents.
I hope this story isn't just another open end in EVE's history. Else I can just switch sides and work for the Amarr. Their ships are becoming more and more interesting.

Hehe, this topic was started a year and 8 days ago so we've been waiting for a year, two months and 8 days for CCP to actually complete their storyline.
Whats my point? 1 year and two months is well below the average waiting time for storyline completion  -----

I think part of the deal with all these stories left stranded as they are has to do with the story plots leaking out. I know I read something about this a month or so ago. The problem is I can't find linkage for you guys. So, if anyone else reads this and knows what I'm talking about, please save me and link it.
I think the other part of why story lines are slow in developing is simply that the story lines created are rather large and deal with new stuff being released. So, instead of giving little tidbits of information about what's giong on with each story line, CCP just waits until the next update is ready to the point where they can continue explaining the story plot they started. I don't think it would be so long and drawn out feeling if there were tons of other sub plots going on.

We have a plan, and of course we have a reason. The trouble is we cant tell you as it will ruin what comes in the future.

A plan! A plan! Tachy, you summoned someone with a plan! I bow to your masterful art.
So that's step 1) "Find plans" mostly done, which leaves step 2) "Save World" and step 3) "GET OUT OF THE GREAT WILDLANDS!"

Originally by: Illyaina Karia I think part of the deal with all these stories left stranded [...]
I'd be very surprised if there was any relation between the outlawed Amarr sekt, the Thukker Tribe, the Minmatar Republic and the Angel Cartel. The Tribe's standing towards the Amarr MaybeSoonanEmpireagain and the Ammatar Directorate did not change. But Thukker turned around from proRepublic to proCartel.
After way more than one year, we still hear that there's a plan.
It is fun losing access to your research agents by working for their corps, isn't it?
Thukker Tribe agents still send you out against Amarr and Ammatar ships in Ammatar space. Yeah, that's a confirmed bug. We got a nice aggro timer display that doesn't work correctly half the time as a workaround so you wont get a ship you lost at a gate further down the trip home replaced for a year now.
@Ginger.: Please go spill infos and stop spreading hot air. Oveur and Kieron are paid to spread the latter. We have more than enough promises about plans for the next 5 years. The system is still broken and ccp seems not to care about it for the 30 minutes it would take to write an info blog.
Thukker Tribe used to be fighting slavery on all fronts. Now they're big buddies with the Angel Cartel that's known for slave raids and trade. That's as logical as anything and it really makes the proud Thukker Tribe pilots happy in their pants.
I am glad you have a plan.
Btw. supporters of the Tetrimon Cult are to be put to death on the spot, no way around it by an unlifted Emperor's decree. And without an Emperor ... but that's the topic for another thread and it doesn't allow a good or long lasting story.
P.S.: This forum is still half dead, but only for like 10 months now, so ... --*=*=*--

I think it is common knowledge now that the resources allocated to the dynamic content and storyline in the past was scarce due to various reasons, but now with their expansion of space CCP have people dedicated to oversee the dynamic content side of EVE. A fact we all should welcome.
It was a mistake that the Thukkers standing changes were not explained at the time, and were extremely sorry for that.
I would describe their relationship with the cartel one of allies of convience personally, the Thukkers lead a harsh life and cannot afford to be as moralistic, they need to do certain things to survive.
I know me saying that it will all be revealed looks like a blowoff. And I cant really blame you for thinking that to be honest. But we have resources for dynamic content now and this is not a blowoff. Im afraid however, you only have my word for that at the moment.

Thanks for the hints of information anyway.
Personally I'm hoping Thukker goes back to being at least neutral to the Republic, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.
Sort of the background problem is there aren't many interesting side-faction possibilities for people who want to stay anti-slavery and friendly to the Republic, compared to the Ammar/Caldari axis.
It's too bad the Sanshas have a slavery fetish in their backstory too, or they'd be almost perfect. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Originally by: Ginger. [...] It was a mistake that the Thukkers standing changes were not explained at the time, and were extremely sorry for that. [...]
It was a mistake to do the technical part of the storyline change without any storyline, explanation or logical hook. As soon as it was clear that there was no way to follow the technical changes with the related background, undoing the steps for the time being would have been the better solution. Even setting the standing towards Cartel and Republic to 0.0 would have been better until someone had the time to properly do the big changes down south.
Whereever I did such changes to my campaigns as a GM or encountered such changes in any RP environment, the storyline lay the base before any changes took place. And normally the players drove the changes, not the GM/devs changing the basics silently in the background. Well, actually normally the GM/devs drove the players to 'chose the right path'. And whatever the outcome was, the players decicion moved the story along, even if it meant that the change the GM/dev hoped for did not happen. Just as with the jaded Ray of Matar. When she undocks, she better has her clone up to date. Tribal societies tend not to tolerate incompetent leaders.
But I understand the importance for opening another venue to feed the payerbase the most useless T2 (pirates) implants *giggles with a Halo*. At least a dev did promise to make them available through shady factions and we remembered him of his promise when the year turned towards the next FanFest (and the ColdWar patch) and followed through to his word - with a little side effect of breaking everything related to the Thukker Tribe. --*=*=*--

There are a few of us that hang out in channel Thukker if anyone fancies dropping by 
One thing i found strange with the Thukker COSMOS, is that the stories involved attacking Serpentis and Angels most of the time, both are our top allies..... So during the mission would loose standing with them, but when complete would get a boost.

Thank you for the missing fantastic explanatory event 1 1/3 years after the technical changes!
I think I owe you a glas of lukewarm water now at the next FanFest.
Current Status: Thukker Tribe R&D agents are still sitting in Ammatar and Minmatar HiSec. In the very regions you wont be able to access should you decide to run important missions for Thukker Tribe agents should you decide to work for better standing for more RP/day.
The Thukker Tribe's still on friendly terms with those slavers they used to fight and hunt down wherever they found them. --*=*=*--
