What will the difference be between that and the missions we have been running until now? Just scale? Will there be many simultaneous such events for different parts of the galaxy, or will it be like a "humanitarian crisis in Lave, commanders of the galaxy unite" type of thing? What will the results be like in case of failure or success? Are we going to see domino effects of systems turning or will it be like "crisis averted, congratulations". Will there be massive rewards or just the usual 15K type of thing? Will there be incentive for working against the flow "the opposite side has an open bounty on people carrying food, 200K per head" or just "go there and bring that". I'd like to go to a system and see a couple of enormous ships blockading the station, sidewinders all around and me trying to bring the food with my Type 7 to the poor Lavians, while other Cmd's fall in a protective formation around me but I don't know if I will be bothered to go there just to haul food for the Lavians and wait in lines with other folks at the station.
I guess my question in short is, is it a gameplay update, or a teamplay update?
Oh and city lights hurray of course.
