I would like to see what ccp uses to have the players take part in the plot. What info they use to get the outcome or is it all ready written and we don't really influence anything?
The new skybox we had seems like the story has been written, I hope not but looks that way.
IIUC, they have Devs and/or GMs monitoring the battle outcomes and watch the forums to decide the next step based on a flow chart-like system that the storyline people have mapped out. However, weird stuff often happens.
The UFO sighted by some mercs the other day was probably one possibility that they had expected could happen. There could be others.
It is worth noting, though, that when they did storyline events for The Empyrean Age, they actually blew up an existing station and some people actually lost in-game assets that were in it when it blew.
This event is possibly that epic and historical. |

Not exactly. The Caldari people were duped by the megacorporations into surrendering their place in the Federation so that their rich oligarchs could keep getting richer.
The Gallente gave the Caldari space technology (as they also did with the Intaki, Mannar, and Jin Mei). The Caldari megacorps chose to abuse that gift in secret and then threw a fit when the Federation that they supposedly supported tried to get them to act responsibly.
The "invasion" of Caldari Prime was undertaken to protect civilians after Caldari rebels killed nearly a million people by flooding an underwater city.
The Federation did not start the outbreak of violence. That was all the doing of Caldari extremists. |

May one day the Federation and the State be united once again. There is no space in the Federantion for the Caldari will, i-Śm afraid.
There is plenty of room for the Caldari Will, just not for rich oligarchs who rewrite the laws to suit themselves and then threaten violence when somebody stands up to them.
The Caldari are a strong, proud, and capable people. They do deserve a peaceful homeworld in Luminaire.
Unfortunately, the Caldari State will never allow that to happen. It is too much in the interests of the megacorp CEOs to keep us all at war. The State was born to permit them free reign to oppress their own people, and they will lie, cheat, and steal to maintain the illusion that obedience to the State is somehow an expression of Freedom.
I long for the day when the Caldari rejoin us in the Federation (and when Intaki is hisec...).
Then maybe I can eat fast food in peace without getting called a traitor. |

So get out there and die, all this bickering over which faction wins is best left to the politicians. Yeah, everyone quit playing your roles and fit into Charlie's notion of how a mercenary should work.
No.
If I wanted to do that, I'd be playing CoD or Defiance. |

So if I picked caldari in the beginning am I thrown into the other side? I didn't actually check that today does anyone know if that is true or not? Hmm, not sure but i would really like to know the answer to these questions. O_O
You will still be randomly assigned.
If you get stuck on the Caldari side, just sandbag.  |
