Hi
With millions currently migrating out of the bubble, there will inevitably be vast numbers consigned to a miserable and terminal existence in dead-end systems whose architects and builders never had any intention to sustain beyond their utility as stepping stones.
Yeah...
...A bit of an all-round mess really (On the Galaxy map), depending on which way one personally looks at it.
(Not meant to be taken
too seriously
)
Those well known and travelled trade routes encompassing those Systems that were once the core of the Bubble, are at this very moment slowly slipping into the realms of obscurity and desolation.
The Brewer Corporation, with it's greed, power hungry and some say nefarious intent has turned the heads of many commanders, fooling them with smoke and mirror tactics to convince them that their 'future' is written in some distant system where they are going to obtain untold wealth power and knowledge.
At some point these trusting commanders will suddenly realise that whatever they left behind will be gobbled up by the Brewer Corporation. When they ultimately have to turn back and return to the core systems there will be nothing there that isn't controlled by Brewer. Those contracts that Commanders signed in good faith thinking that by helping Brewer they would also get a slice of the action will prove worthless. Brewer will actually own and ultimately control
all assets stations and facility's that these hardworking Commanders helped to build.
Colonia has thankfully not been tainted by Brewers greed, at the moment
I foresee many pilots of the Federation, Empire, Alliance and Independent factions either in squadrons groups or just lone independent traders realising that their actions have in no small way contributed to this, (some say) obscene advance by this all encompassing corporation.
Pilots are slowly temporarily migrating to Colonia and joining forces together there (big group hug
), and will at some time in the near future return to the core systems in force to finally oust this blight on humanity, destroying the Brewer Corporation forever and reclaiming and returning the core systems to what they originally were.
Intentional outcome of this conflict?.
All player built stations under the Brewer 'guidance' will be destroyed, systems claimed will be reverted to their original state before 'Colonisation', and any assets confiscated and distributed fairly amongst pilots who help to overthrow the Brewer pestilence.
It is acknowledged that a large amount of 'salt' will be created in this ultimate war with Brewer and it's (hopeful) outcome. Rest assured though, all this salt will not go to waste, large proportions will be used (mixed with water) to
finally properly terraform planets, creating seas and coastal landscapes initially, starting with the Sol system.
Venus, Mars and Earth... We will once again return to those ancient myths and texts described in archived works stored in the Cambridge Museum on Earth (listed as FE2 & FFE) these media files describe and show how the rudimentary colonisation of Sol's planets began in the first place. Something that the present Brewer Corporation has secretly tried to hide for over 10 years. Although the ancient files contain some animated scenes of colonised planets in the Sol System, and some various outlying Systems in the Bubble, these scenes and what was then quaintly termed as 'Ingame footage video' clearly show that general improvements to true colonisation is still needed.
But I digress...
If the effort in this crazy 'Colonisation' scheme orchestrated by Brewer had been more directed at the present
SOL System pilots would just possibly be docking their ships at San Francisco or London and enjoying the sights, sounds and facility's (not to mention missions) that these planet side stations possibly have to offer. Earths Moon would be a hub of activity, with 'first time pilots' using this area as a major starting point on their way to the stars once again.
Mars and Venus would obviously need materials and supply of various goods in it's ongoing projects concerning terraforming. Pilots are usually always welcome here and there are many places where you can
land your ship and
walk around in the new planet ports being constructed there. Security is still questionable in the Sol system, so there would / will be many opportunities and activities for the more combat oriented pilots to partake in, though no doubt there will be some pilots who will undoubtably fall foul of the existing laws. A small percentage of these pilots though will unfortunately again revert to the ancient form of combat termed 'ganking', but these pilots will never gain the trust, adoration and a certain amount of envy that true combat pilots (loosely termed as PVP'ers ) obtain in fair combat scenarios.
So...As Commander(?) deleteuser suggests (I think)
, lets all join together (at some point) and obliterate Brewer, re-take control of the Bubble perhaps even look inward instead of looking outward, and while we're at it try to come to some amicable (if possible) agreement with the Thargoids for once, exchange technology, and visit
their systems on a more constructive level for a refreshing change. Recent conflicts have shown that the Thargoids have in fact a diverse technology and colourful character of which there is still a lot to learn from. If that's not at all possible due to programming constraints...
...I suppose it's unfortunately still a case of 'shoot first and ask (no) questions later'
Whew!...after typing all that dribble I'll need some
...but nevertheless it was fun.
