Interesting.
I see two things that might be new stuff to eventually make it into the game. One is "transit tubes", a possible device we will use if we ever get out through the door in CQ. The other is the simulation tanks. In a way we already got one; Sisi. It would be interesting if we got simulation tanks integrated into TQ, although I'm not sure what they could be used for. A way to test stuff that does not require downloading a second client? Being able to test stuff on TQ has advantages: It runs under the same rules as the main game, without the updates seen on Sisi. Also while testing you would still be able to see corp chatter allowing you to quickly react to stuff happening. When you are on Sisi, you are disconnected from most everyone else playing.
Or could tanks be used for games to be gambled upon at player owned establishments?
I hope Interbus does not go bankrupt, once we blow up their shiny new investments. CCP employees should never proclaim a feature to be awesome. Only subscribers should. Subscribers can never answer a question posed to CCP. Only CCP can. |

Virtually probable. I've a feeling that this chronical is clever on levels we don't yet realise. I'm still thinking about it.
Bottom line is there are individuals with resources and interests that transcend empire level politics and an unacceptable level of access to capsualeer technology. Which should make you sit up and take notice in whatever dream world you walk in.

So, today was a basic gunnery run. Test out the new specs with railguns. Opforce was a bunch of different targets. As much variety as a possible. He grinned, yeah well, heGÇÖd seen plenty of FDU fleets as ragtag as this in his time.

Sooner this was over with the better. The squadron lined up at distance and a primary was called, nice fat Dominix. He wondered why they bothered with using capsuleers for this calibration stuff. Eliminating variables probably. Oh, look at that, Dominix down. The Opforce were trying to make transversal but the bigger stuff wouldnGÇÖt be able to do much. Some of that stuff could be dangerous if they got it together though. Apoc, Rokh, Tempest, Mega, even the Raven. Squad commander must have taken longer adjusting than he had. This target list was terrible. He thought about saying something, then noticed the long-range stuff was yellow-boxing him. Check that, they were red-boxing and his shields were gone. Mentally he grappled with his systems, even as he hoped theyGÇÖd picked the squad commander as secondary.
Also I like how this chronicle shows how under powered and useless the Naga was made by taking the launchers off. I tried it out when it was on SISI at the time it was my favorite due to the many roles it could fill. Another display of how CCP hates missiles and wants us all to use turrets. |

But in regards to the chronicle it's self, very well done. We need more back story in EVE keep them coming.
Quite the opposite, they show how the Nagas fragile design and operation uses were not compatible with torpedoes, how attacking was suicide and how, even with rails and its tremendous power, how fragile it (and all Tr3 BC) are.
(also, if CCP hated missiles, they wouldn't have given missile users the Tengu with 600dps @ 100kms and the capability of targeting (& destroying) close frigates. It was simply time that Caldari railgun users got some lovin')

The part where it is targeted and its shields removed is just story stuff where the FC wasn't used to the rail change yet and that his target list was poop. He also took some satisfaction that even though he's losing his ship, they targeted the FC as secondary and he will be following.

Being in a virtuality, the ability to recieve the telemetry was inherent.. Would he have showed up personally, he would have had to have gone through pre-conditioning of some sort to recieve the telemetry they were intercepting. As Mordu was in his own "tank" it was a simple matter to give him the "blue pill" in the form of the drink. I think..
Sort of like the pills offered to Schwarzenegger in Total Recall... |

Very interesting...Well, if this is a hint of things to come; in the same way that it's building on things that have just arrived, then amongst many things, I'd be curious to know the answers to these...
Is this a 'wink, wink, nudge, nudge' hint that by using 'captured' personality level performance-data, that (all) non-Sansha npc's are soon to become a whole lot harder? -- I sure hope so...
Or Serpentis only, perhaps, and that they might be the next incursion faction to hit New Eden, once Yani's takeover is complete...?
(Does this hint at a corp management overhall for the game, and a tactical 'shares' option, that works and/or is worth using?)
Is it a hint that Serpentis 'rats', and other factions might soon be tooling themselves up with the new BC's?
Will CQ's in the future allow new players to hone their 'pvp' skills in a non-consequence environment (simulator) to help them 'be bold'...? |

I think that top-level galactic officials have far more freedom in recustomizing their clones than we capsuleers have. A gender-change might be a quite "strange" thing in our 21-century society, but in New Eden it seems to be a clever action in Yani's case. There are probably assasins out to kill "him" once and for all, so radical change in appereance might buy him some time to plan his return.
You know, there once was a certain bad guy who hijacked the clone of a certain Gallente admiral to crash a certain supercarrier into a certain station which kicked of that certain war.
Quote:Or Serpentis only, perhaps, and that they might be the next incursion faction to hit New Eden, once Yani's takeover is complete...?
Nah, Yani probably just wants to take back his mining operations. A direct attack on Fountain could have dire consequences for ORE, as the Serpentis Corporation is only a contractor of the Angel Cartel, probably to keep the Blood Raiders and Guristas ( I think Sansha and his minions are pretty much hated by everybody since they restarted their war on humanity) busy from attacking the Cartel's holdings in Curse and the surrounding areas. If Yani would start a attack on Fountain, he would have to deal with the probably empire-sized navy of the Angels, which could not afford to lose this vital ally. Of course,a redeployment of forces meant to protect the Angels core-area in the galactic east to the far west could lead to a invasion of Guristas, Blood Raiders or even Rogue Drones. And I'm kinda scared when I think of homicidals AIs sitting atop of old Jovian worlds.
Pre-Incursion, New Eden was more or less divided between equally-powered empires and pirate nations. But since Master Kuvakei's return, this fragile balance of powers is crumbling. I think we could compare the current political state of New Eden with Europe shortly before WW1. The leaders of the important factions probably know there will be real war, not just some skirmishes at the fringes of empire space - see the recent introduction of new battlecruisers. CCP said a few years ago that they put the empires with Empyrean Age into "War mode" and weren't quite sure about when they would pit them against each other. The day could soon come.
We capsuleers might call it super fun time. |

Terrific Chronicle!
Can't wait to read more by the author. The blend of pure literary fiction with how we operate in the EVE environment was riveting.
Wonderfully deep and convoluted! Please write more of this. Great stuff |

I was one of those people that don't care at all about cronichles, but I had to admit that there's a lot of content and entertainment to be had reading those.
I actually enjoyed it very much, even if (or maybe just because) it's sort of a teaser for the last expansion. |

I don't like these chronicles. Too much tekst and no concrete information. Too bad I have to read them to get some idea where this game is going to.
This got my attention:
Quote:What I need is the wherewithal to board and seize the stations. Once I have them, my possession combined with legal title and the newly-coded DED-grade station shields that will come with it So we will be able to board and seize stations. No idea which stations (NPC null, FW territory lowsec, all of empire?). |

I've always enjoyed the Chronicles that tied in-game mechanics together with story and world shaping. Hence why "All These Lives Are Fit for Ruin" is my all-time favorite Chronicle.
Sisi officially making it into EVE lore. What will they think of next? |

I read the tank as an establishment to project an image of yourself (or liking) around the universe.
I'm going to go with a new level of meta gaming to hide yourself as other people in these rooms for a new form of espionage and infiltration.

Why aren't these chronicles available in-game? |

Yup, Muriya Mordu, commander of Mordu's Legion Command and (Mr.) Yani Sar Arteu, one of the founders of ORE. ORE was taken over by Serpentis, now he wants it back. As part of the "theatrics", he is appearing as a she. I assume that the "theatrics" refer to using a full-blown virtual reality for the meeting instead of just having audio or text communications. However, this was necessary so that Muriya could be fed the hacked telemetry. Mordu's Legion Command may want to "patch" their own tanks for improved simulation with that tech, and they'll get another security contract, whereas Sar Arteu gets his corp back.
Wonder what happened to Orion Mashel, the hermit-CEO and another founder of ORE? |

I like it alot, there are so many levels in it, especially the ending combined with the fact that the whole thing takes places virtually but the reader only knows this at the end and the participants clearly do.
Well done, now go make it real.

SiSi makes it into a chronicle, nice touch.
I don't remember hearing about the Serpentis taking over ORE "Fools! I'll show them all!"
What do you mean that one's already taken? |

Very nice Chronicle. Some interesting hints toward future direction. My interpretations:
- Players will be able to plug into Tanks for 'arena' style PVP. - WiS won't be restricted to the station you are physically located in. There will be VR spaces where you can meet other players from all over New Eden. (I'm guessing that all WiS areas outside the CQ won't be virtual, otherwise it would upset CCP's planned contraband overhaul). - NPC ship AI may be getting a general upgrade. |

It sounds like CCP found something that will draw people to WiS... participating in arena PVP. Well done CCP. Well done. |

I, for one, tremendously dislike the idea of arena-style PvP actually in-game. if people can PvP without consequences, I don't see the point of playing EVE instead of WoW.
Perhaps I misunderstand the details but non-consequential PvP is for other, weaker, more pathetic games than this.
As for the Chronicle... I think the idea of Yani showing up as a female is a pretty clear reference to all of us using alt characters with far different traits for special meetings, espionage, etc. Overall I liked it, although I was marginally confused in certain areas, partially because I have not read all of the Chronicles yet.
Can't wait for something as brutally enjoyable as the end of the world series. Please keep the Chronicles up, I love them.

As a loooong time E.E.Doc Smith fan I was thinking something like this being a virtual world thing, what with the strange personal pronoun use/change which was most definitly not accidental.
The Smith reference is to the Lensman series he wrote in the late 40's 50's. More specifically where an Arisian (I forget his name) was able to create a virtual environment for someone visiting him. So they visited him 'virtually' rather than physically (the visitor stayed in orbint around the planet). Only when this someone became mentally powerfull enough could they see through this virtual environment and physically landed on the planet.
Anyway, Smith kind of invented Space Opera, Iain M Banks is a worthy sucessor.
Kudos for the authors digging into classic SF that most people do not know exist!
Kudos for writing something that does not involve guts and gore!

I was thinking the same, but it could just be a Sisi reference. Though arena style PvP would be awesome, imo.

I'm thinking a more practical approach: instanced station environments.

I thought the same as some others - PVP Arenas - but then had a thought about how the market would be affected by a method of combat that didn't result in a loss of ISK, ships, fittings, clones, implants and so I am not sure PVP arenas are where this is really going. Entrapped in a vile world, where the endgames all the same as every other...

Woah! You guys are missing the biggest thing! We can have jewelry and rings for our characters now! I cant wait to pimp out my guy!
Being serious now, this was a great chronicle, and it made a lot more sense once I remember ORE was taken over by the serpenti. |
