I just recently finished up the Empyrean Age trailer. Apparently the main reason that the Caldari were able to take and hold Caldari Prime was because they said that they would literally liquidate the entire Gallente population on the planet. How do you address that problem? |

No, just kidding. I just finished The Empyrean Age and just bought Templar One. I don't know exactly how President Fouritain handles it, all I know is that capsuleers had a huge part of the end result, as is commonplace.
I read Templar One a while ago, but I can't remember what happened mostly because I don't think that I understood what was happening in the first place. But one detail that /does/ stick out in my mind is that Fouritain is no longer president. |

I don't know exactly how President Fouritain handles it, all I know is that capsuleers had a huge part of the end result, as is commonplace. Keep in mind, The Empyrean Age wrecked the Caldari roleplaying community in EVE. I don't RP, but I have played EVE with those who do. If you read the chronicles about the Caldari people before the book, a rich back story on their culture gets boiled down to Marxist class warfare. I could go into it at length as to why, but that's not what this thread is about. The reason I mention this is I think the recent "current events" in EVE in regards to the Caldari are meant to erase what seemed like a dumbed-down reimagining of the Caldari in permanent marker. That being said, the Caldari Prime occupation was one of the coolest things CCP did for the EVE universe. The fact the story evolved was awesome, although they really should have put that fire out sooner in Malaken. 
That's rather interesting. Let me say that 1.) I thought that it was less of pure marxist/capitalist ideology thing and more of a mix between that and a ******'s rise to power kind of thing. 2.) I was rather engaged by the plot!
At any rate, if they were retconning any kind of interesting history and culture, that's a shame. I guess that I'll have to start reading about that background at some point. Any kind of starting point Chronicle wise that you'd like to give me? |

The news is not n chronological order as well but lack details and include player efforts as well. any type of eve/dust movie/videos out there? fanfilms or something? There are a couple - have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXWf-l71MY4 as one excellent example of a Caldari-oriented film. I believe that CCP also have some plans for a lot more media in the future - they've been collecting player stories recently and a lot more besides. The trailers for EVE are pretty damn good as well, and there's a lot of them. now that video is fu*king awesome. im not generally a fan of sci-fi stuff but im hooked on this dust/eve lore. i could see the film/media side of this making big dollars, as you wouldn't even need to know what eve was and could still be easily entertained by this, has to be something holding them back, that im not seeing. could you point me in the direction of more of these? i prefer the amarr/minmatar conflict but any will do, thanks
Amarr Victor
It doesn't provide any lore, but it's an epic patriotic video for fans of Amarr. Epic shots of Amarr ships to the tune of an epic movie soundtrack of some description. One of a set of four for all the races.
Also, apparently EVE Online is getting its own tv show at some point. It may or may not be linked to the stories that CCP has been collecting, but here, have this. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/movienewsandreviews/news/?a=84716 |
