This thread is being made as a request toward the community to pull together low-level ideas for Lore and Immersion in Dust 514.
To put it clearly, some things are obviously out of our scope. This thread is looking for the low hanging fruit. Ideas that can be easily accomplished with minimal development input. An example of something that could be feasible would be adding a description to the 'Brutor' Minmatar SKIN's that explain, briefly, who the Brutor are.
So rather than seeing "This SKIN only applies to Heavy Minmatar Dropsuit frames!" you would see this:
Quote:"A martial, strong-willed people, the Brutor hold their tribal heritage close to their hearts. Strong advocates of transforming the Republic into a tribal-based government, they would love nothing more than for all seven of the Minmatar tribes to reunite as one nation. The Brutor are renowned for living regimented, disciplined lives. Despite presenting a tough, no-nonsense exterior, they are deeply introspective and "in the moment", aware of even the smallest detail. Immersed in ancient martial traditions that begin at childhood, they are physically robust individuals and intimidating to face in the flesh."
An example of something that is not as valuable is something like, "I think that we should have full character customization with all the different races and blood lines" as this is a very high development goal that would pull away from other tasks with higher priority.
Any opportunity to fill in other-wise dead space with informative, immersive aspects of the Lore will be good suggestions here.
Thanks for all the support guys, let's fix Dust 514

Besides the text regarding SKINS, I would like to see more DUST lore period.
One aspect of lore I would like to see is Chronicles. Perhaps some detailing Mordu's Private Trials and Battle for Caldari Prime. Perhaps some detailing the inception of the "Immortals" long past the opening video. We were found in those stasis capsules, as shown in the video seen whenever you first boot up the game for the very first time, and in game at the bottom of the menu. How did we get put there?
I don't see DUST Chronicles being all that hard to accomplish, especially since I don't see it taking up much RAM or memory, It could be made into another tab on the menu. I would say next to the Instructions tab, but nobody ever looks there, except maybe to watch the video that brings me to tears every time.

Asides descriptions that can be ripped off of EVElopedia there's few things out there.
Though, one idea I imagine is that after you get say 20M SP you get gifted a free Skin BPO based on the bloodline you chose that can be applied to all that bloodline's race. It can't be traded, and I think it gives people an incentive to role play a bit more. Give them a skin and a background, and suddenly people that would never have thought passed Faction Warfare are actually considering their bloodlines.

I support this, definitely. If we had a lot of lore and better immersion earlier on, the game would've been much more entertaining. But that's the past, lets talk about the now.
Are loading screen descriptions out of the question? I feel like this could be used to help people understand things better.
I feel like Faction Warfare could do well with this.

I would just like to participate is LORE Events. Such as The Caldari prime event. That made me feel apart of New Eden at the time. And felt like I was really fighting for something. Special maps for these events and so on and so on. Would be cool. I am actually surprised we haven't had a event like that in a while.

I'd like to add on to this by saying we could have a "news" tab in-game. Doesn't have to include videos or anything but even just texts and a picture would be good enough.

There is barely any, there are only 11 entires - where EVE has well into the hundreds. There are even in-game corporations that have made it into EVE Lore, have their own Chronicles too I believe. We need this. I also do want to see lore-based descriptions for the SKINs, but I want to see this more.
The issue with getting these written is that you basically need an author to write it and then have the content vetted by the ISD Mercury Team (I think....they deal with that sort of thing) who then would submit it to CCP who would then vet it even more thoroughly before accepting it a canon.
Simply put you cannot just churn out crap and expect it to make the grade.

This is a great idea. I guarantee that 95% of the people that play this game don't even know that there are events constantly happening on EVE. Of those that know few probably check EVE World News. It would be fantastic if in the corner of my Mercenary room I had a large hologram of headline news, and when I opened it I could read it in real time, and see the news.
Right now just about nobody knows about Drifters, and that should change.

Adding on to this as well.
Faction Warfare events every once in a while would be fun.
If not Faction Warfare, then Special Events for the public like when we had to choose whether to fight against the Blood Raiders or help them. We can actually get Blood Raider suits now for it lol.
Or maybe a series of events that changes outcome with the actions of the players? Basically like the Caldari Prime event in how the Titan fell when the Gallente won.

I came up with a great idea that would make Factional Warfare better would be is instead of us waiting minutes to deploy. Why not select the contract that a merc wants to do. High sec would pay a normal LP payout with minimal loot.
While Low sec would pay much higher LP and Loot but that type of Low sec contract would have a price tag = That would favor those who want a great/epic.Difficult/Corp Battle type with high risk and high rewards.
Because I remember back then we had 4 to 5 contracts (battles) to select and it was useful.
I dont mind having 8 vs 8 FW battles in Low Sec with Corporations in FW = It would be just like Corp battles but only in FW.
The High,Medium, and Low sec would be limited by the Meta Levels.
I'm not sure how much Meta is for a militia, advance, and Proto everything on a dorpsuit such as,
Militia dropsuit L/M/H with Militia High/Low Moduals Militia Light/Sidearm/Heavy weapons slot, Grenade slot, and Equipment.
^ Same with Proto having everything Proto
This would drastically change the game and make new players vs new players, Casual vs Casual, and Vet vs Vet.
Not all contracts would appear for everyone. For new players only High sec would appear but that would be in Public contracts ONLY and I think Public should just be High sec. Not saying Causal and Vets can't join which they can but once FW Medium and Low sec would be the most common contracts BUT at a price of LP only.
This is just my idea so think about it for a while.

FW never takes place in High Security Space. It is exclusively a proxy war talking place in low security space for the economic benefit of the four empires. No territory is lost or gained and winning means nothing only a continuation of status quo.
What would be more appropriate for your design are
Novice, Small, Medium, Large Complex Contracts.

I am pretty sure we can find somebody willing to write it all up. Don't you agree that we do need some recognition? That we need this kind of lore? Hell, CCP could take a crack at the stuff that You, Raven, Breakin, Spade and Ben do. There is some literature written up right there. CCP Rattati has already expressed interest in our ideas on lore before, I am pretty sure it can be done.
Hell, I may even write up some myself.

The Gallente won the space side conflict because arguably that battle was scripted.... as jumping something like half a dozen Moros to 0 on the Shigeru was a rather decisive action.
The Caldari were confirmed to have one the ground conflict giving them leverage enough to demand concessions of the Federation resulting in Ishukone picking up the contracts to begin rebuilding on the Caldari Homeworld as well as the establishment of demilitarized zones controlled by Mordu's Legion.

Let me spell it out for you.
SHE WAS CONFIRMED BY A CCP DEVELOPER WHO DEALS WITH THE LORE THAT SHE IS NOT COMING BACK AND HAS DIED THE FINAL DEATH.

Fair enough. I'm still surprised they killed her off that fast. She was a pretty interesting character, and they could have done better things. It was just such a boring way to die. It's how you would expect someone boring like Jacus Roden to die. He was supposed to be this conniving businessman, and instead everything he says is quaint and diplomatic.
In all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if they killed her off, even at the cost of plot holes, on the basis that they were behind on lore. Someone from management probably said to kill her off so they could get rolling on the event.

The first thing I noticed when I received a Tash Murkon Heavy BPO from a box was the description. It is the most badass description in the game currently.
More of those little bits would be fantastic. I want people to know more about the suits and colors that they wear. This seems like it would be really easy to implement as well.

P.S. The Drifters didn't kill the Empress. Hubris killed the Empress.

Yeah she was very interesting and frankly I'd have liked to have seen her develop more before her death perhaps doing something rather interesting that could have told us what kind of Empress she would have been for the Amarr....
Peacemaker and breaking the mould of the Sarum Family, or War Hero who reignites the need for the Reclaiming and starts the 25th Reclaimation....
Instead she gets hit by 95-ish Drifter Doomsdays in a cut scene without even allowing players to get stuck into a fight with the Drifters.....
Either way we will get to see the Succession Trials next year in April and the investiture of a new Amarrian Emperor (most likely a male as 4 of 5 Heirs are male).
I want Lady Catiz Tash-Murkon to claim her place as the Empress. We need an intelligent and canny leader with the vision to bring the Amarr into a new age and release it from the traditionalist tenets that prevent it from achieving it full capacity.

More of those little bits would be fantastic. I want people to know more about the suits and colors that they wear. This seems like it would be really easy to implement as well.

P.S. The Drifters didn't kill the Empress. Hubris killed the Empress.
No..... I can attest to the fact that the combined fire from almost dozens of Drifter Battleships killed the Empress.
Also for the Tash-Murkon Sentinel are you talking about the warrior Anasoma and how he was a Udorian Warrior sealed in his armour after he was betrayed and sealed in his armour.

Well, I know that General Custer was killed by a combo of three Native American Tribes, but I could also say that it was arrogance that killed him.
Yep, that's the description. Certified Badass.

What? Your post has no visual correlation to the above.

Empress Jamyl was killed by Hubris.
General Custer was killed by Arrogance.
Anasoma was betrayed and melted into his own battle armor, which is certifiably badass.
What part of that does not visually correlate?

I don't think hubris is the right word.
No entity within New Eden could have expected or prevented a Fleet of 200 battleships with the newly displayed ability to fire a doomsday weapon offensively to suddenly appear. Or that their combined fire power was instantly able to overwhelm a Titans prolific defenses in a time frame that left the defending forces of the Imperial Guard without even the ability to approach before instantly disappearing.

She was killed because she had a partial link to the drifter infomorph overlord. And she was resisting it's control, doing things like distributing clean merc implants that don't cause 514 incidents. She was an imperfect tool and the more that bastard used her the more she gleaned from it.
It was an execution. That was the message the drifters sent.
We can kill whoever we want, whenever we want, however we want.
But they tipped their hand to the fact that they considered jamyl important despite spanking the amarr navy like uppity children repeatedly.
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

While I would really like to have better / fleshed out description to our gear, I think more lore driven events are the way to go.
We have the "special contracts" tab for a reason. It's just a shame it has not been used more (or at all apart from testing purposes). It could be just normal matches, but with some lore background reason for fighting (like investigate the portals).
I would also like a small notification bubble (like the new mail / invalid Loadout) in the Neocom indicating there are custom battles available (it's way too easy to miss now).
A second point: I think all Mercs are tired of their broken TV-remote by now... My quarter have shown the same program for years. This might be out of the realm of the possible, but I would LOVE to have small clips of the Scope playing on my wall 
What could be better, have constant news of the universe playing in the background!
Speaking of The Scope, it would be nice if the lore masters get together and incorporate a little of Dust in their news broadcasts. Doesn't have to much (or even tighed to a Dust event... Even if it would be nice), just a sentence here and there mentioning mercenaries raiding etc. Even if it's just to remind EVE players we are still here.
