It's really nice to get some story thrown in now and then.
Though not a roleplayer, it makes for a better experience when one feels immersed in the whole thing.
(not to say pretty spreadsheets with internet spacemoney ambition isn't fun...!)

Nice chronicle. Gives us quite a bit of RP headache, too (shooting Interbus is piracy, the Republic would not condone!) :-D
Oh, and:

I love that CCP has not lost it's sense of humor.

Quote:Gister turned to him with eyes wide open. "Good heavens, man! The capsuleers can't even keep their own alliances intact for longer than a fortnight."
Funny because it is (sadly) true
Nice chron, even if to just help us explain things in character, I really enjoyed the type of humor applied in this one. Suits my style. Hoping we might see more chronicles, but if we get one for every expansion that already beats none at all.

Nice insights into Interbus, but the references to T2 Modules, Alliance FW and Hybrid Turrets feel like misplaced Advertisement of the Expansion and don't really help generate atmosphere, at least for me.

Excellent Chron
I really like the way CCP abraxas integrated the Crucible release into prime fiction, much like old-schol news items were.
Shinies in game, new features or fixing of old ones will always be well received by players, but the lore and fiction will always be the weaving that holds together the fabric.
I don't want to ask for Chrons being published more often, cause i know they are hard work, but please consider them the cream on top of an incredible well prepared dessert, it adds an implicit feature to the game experience that is hardly comparable with anything else. |

The 'TOME" of exceptional works by CCP Abraxas expands once more with this new Chronicle. I so miss the biweekly Chronicles we were once so used to reading. So now when a new one is delivered here in Deep Space, it is so much more appreciated and read with both haste and reserve....... |

It's always nice to get a new chronicle. I know CCP Abraxas is busy with expanding the fiction experience by other means at the moment so I (and hopefully we) appreciate the extra effort put in by gifting us with this wonderful story as well. I personally like the features/changes brought on by Crucible being integrated into the story and thus given an in-world justification. It's also fun to read about the effect of and presence in the world of New Eden that we have as Capsuleers. It's interesting to read about what the universe is like for the vast majority of the inhabitants but when the fiction illustrates our influence and draws attention to how we as players continually shape the circumstances of EVE I think we all get a real kick out of it. |

That's all they're good for, fighting and war. Best to put their focus on something like that, and not have them getting in the way of people trying to do proper business."

You're laying it on a bit thick with this chronicle - it has a lot of "As You Know" - one character talking to another about things that both of them are already familiar with.
I'm also extremely concerned about the suggestion that alliances will be allowed into FW. This was a bad idea when it was first proposed and it continues to be a bad idea - made an even worse idea by recent FW mechanics changes.

Because FW is working so well as it stands now. It needs a radical and overwhelming change and while I'm not sure what the exact implications of it would be I'd rather they make a brave one instead of none at all. FW is broken and boring and at this point I'd welcome any change including scraping it. |

Seems that way, but then that would weaken their 0.0 presence wouldn't it ? Surely people looking for a fight would even the balance...
Especially if it involves some deadspace areas with mass limits..
At least in theory.

Then they just spam all their ships into that area first so that the other militia can't even get in.

I don't want to present any discouragement, because I generally love the chronicles, but...
Remove almost the entire first section where it feels like you're talking to your players (and calling them jerks for not giving you the recognition you deserve),
then remove almost the entire second section where you're giving a tl;dr version of the patch notes.
The rest is great.
Seriously though, keep the eve chronicles coming, they're a lot of fun!

I might be wrong, but, I think the chastisement was directed at our attitude toward where the backstory seems to be going. Many people are screaming from both sides of the aisle about how THEY want the stroyline to play out, and their disappointment in the directions the Devs are choosing to take it. |

did anyone get the nagging feeling that Bouteil was Jeeves, i also had the mental image of Stephen Fry as Bouteil/Jeeves... did anyone else get this feeling.
but great chronicle (baring in mind I've only read the 3 ones which came out with crucible)
and as for the alliances in FW i think its a good idea, with the rules out lined by Thorvik, as you will not end up with just one alliance backing one militia leading to total annihilation for the others, you would end up with various alliance blocks backing various factions, and it may also reduce nul-sec allience hold of sov if they are also in these wars allowing for a more...fluid nul-sec, which in my view is no bad thing. |

Having found nothing unlikeable about this story at all, I can only assume people find the patch-notes thing 'forced' and the likes because, hey, it's old news to you, you're not in-universe, and most of you would probably have difficulty roleplaying an officeworker by the amount of rp I've seen in this game.
In-universe I do believe this is how an annoyed, impatient businessman and his classic-style butler would talk about these things.
Thank you. |
