The Science of a Safer Society


Thousands of Pegasi sector civilians were forced to evacuate their homes last week, following a series of brutal raids carried out in the name of Archon Delaine.

Some resilient residents have attempted to reach out to the Federation and Empire homeworlds for assistance, but so far, their pleas for help have gone unanswered. This leaves the question on everyone’s lips: who will stop the Kumo Crew?

Local business magnate, Pranav Antal, believes that his Utopians may well be able to provide an answer.

“Their greed, their jealousy… these are the things that drive the Kumo to try to own, control and destroy everything they see.”


“This desire for base things has led the crew down a dark path, one which has caused much pain for the people of Pegasi. We at Utopia understand their sorrow, their troubles, and we want to help.”

“Agents of Utopia are seeking to open a new commune in Hip 116213. Once approved, our engineers will begin the dangerous process of establishing an enlightened defence against the uncivilised horde.”

Are any Utopians available for comment and a Q&A?

I for one do not support this course of action,
we are a community of progression in technology and
peacekeeping, not a war-mongering dictatorship.

The "Agents" described in this obviously hijacked Gal-Net transmission do not
act on behalf of UDP. We will defend ourselves and our brethren,
but declaring open war is not our path.

If there are pilots out there who cannot stop their urge for
war, and take innocent citizens with them into turmoil,
get a hold of yourself and leave that thoughtlessness in the "Sim".

 

[Ben Ryder]

Bravo and thank you Sir!

Sorry about the delay in the Q&A. Any Antal supporters or Utopian Idealists please feel free to chip in. Let me just grab my note pad and I'll be back with some questions.


For the record. I am Pledged to the Utopian Ideal and have contacts within the HIP 4005 Revolutionary Party (lead by a certain 'Dissident Smith') so there will be some bias. However, I'll do my up-most to ask questions that are of benefit to everyone and avoid rhetoric and propaganda.

So let's start with what might be the most pressing question of the day?

Love and Rockets! Romance in the Air for Two Distant Star Struck Celebrities?

So what's this special relationship between tight lips Felicia Winters and Uber Geek Simguru Pranav Antal? This reporter could not help but notice in the GalNet news reports both have a secret smile and have been seen against the back drop of palm trees a T9 Hauler with tinted windows. Other;s have commented that Pranav and Felicia have a 'special relationship' one that a certain elderly Imperial celebrity was once part? Have Felicia and Pranav 'virtually' been getting it on? Is a long distance relationship a possibility? Pranav is clearly covering up being all up for putting out even though he's playing coy but will Felecia stay just as cool. With all this shifting of metals do you think we'll see Tantalum bands on their hands any time soon?

It would be an interesting pair, since they are two of the most positive powers along with the Peoples Princess for the third.

Go for it. Create a new, forward thinking dynasty.

This meeting was about business.
As you have clearly grasped the federation has a lot of citizens,
who have grown ill on the low budget sims created with outdated technology.

Antal manufactures and features top notch sims, which not only lack any addictive qualities,
but also further personal evolvement and social competence.
The federation of the future, surely will want to invest into
Antal Sims and equipment, to keep it's citizens healthy and natural.

Currently there is research on sim-programs countering the symptoms
of psychological trauma and establishing a means to cure these,
without the necessity of highly trained specialists.
This is a start in curing psychological issues,
releaving the specialists of pressure,
allowing them to focus on deep sitting psychological problems.

Reports of Sidewinder pilots rushing too fast into the docking bay
along with collisions have increased in the last weeks.
The feature picture you got your hands on was a demo trying to cure
T9 pilots of the "Sidewinder kamikaze trauma" in short SKT,
by reintroducing them into the pilot seat,
in a friendly and calm environment.

+1 Rep just because you made me laugh long and hard, sir, something which I sorely needed as I am in the midst of pulling my third +16 hour consecutive shift in service of the Senator.

Hi, I pledged to Antal and I haven't had much time to play of late, however when I did try to go find the violent protests in one of the systems mentioned on the power screen, I could not.
I've looked in the manual and around the forum to no avail.

Am I missing something? How do you find the protests to join in the fight?

Thanks,
Nick.

 

[Cadoc]

Hey Nick. There's two possibilities. Either you went to Minjung, which has been bugged all week, or you went to one of the other systems and simply didn't travel far enough. Violent Protests show up from around 1000ls, so pick a station and fly in that direction. I recommend you bring a wing, there's several players happy to group up over on reddit.com/r/EliteAntal - there's a teamspeak address in the sidebar.

I find the violent protests very buggy indeed, try jumping out and then back into the system that should have the violent protests, but even then they may not appear!!! Ticket it as a bug!!!

 

[Ben Ryder]

Sorry about the delayed response. Locked myself out of the house half naked and had to break back in with a bit of wire while the neighbors walked past bringing their children home from school. Thats the second time! Nope third time... Twice got back in with a bit of wire and the other time was with a ladder. All in the space of a year. Always half naked. Any way...

That you for your response....

Poverty and Prosperity in Utopia. War, what is it good for?

Right now, as I write this, Commanders from all over the Galaxy are traveling huge distances to bring metals to the Antal System. However, reports from within the Utopia systems show that Pledge Commanders to Antal are more interested in Waring and expanding borders, rather than paying heed to their 'leader' Antal and coming together as a community. Ensuring the growth of the economy when supplies of metals for production are in desperate need. So what is driving this apparent rush for territory when any visitor to the Antal system can see the bulletin boards filled with requests for donations? Where is the money going? The have been rumors of a project to build a Death Sta.. er Utopian Peace Globe...

 

[jou84]

^ Once is a mistake, twice is careless, but three times probably makes it a hobby!

 

[Ghostickles]

Pranav Antal sounds like a sex act with a pregnant woman.

The expansion effort around the borders is a surefire method to spread the news
and the communion of our cause. Having the word reach more and more systems will snowball
to a glorious age of cooperation and prosperity. Where people are allready flogging to Antal,
by the drive of the old world, capitalism, the followers of Pranav Antal are tirelessly spending their
own funds, to have the message been spread among the stars.

The current flow of money is dedicated to communal funds,
ensuring the wellbeing of those poor souls, thrown into turmoil
by the recent conflicts and giving them a second chance to build a basis
to live on.

 

[Ben Ryder]

A very clear and to the point response, which I am sure has cleared up any questions around the effort to improve Utopia. This next question is a little more probing and keeping with the theme of undercovered relationships.

Freedom of Speech or Freedom to Preach. Love letters and Passing Notes, I'll Plug that Book in One!

In my last interview, which was held with a most amiable Commander pledged to Archon Delaine. It became clear that the Pirate Commander and Strategist, GluttonyFang, is secretly entwined with an unnamed commander who is helping him write his biography.

Are any Commanders from the Utopian Systems planning or in the progress of writing down their experiences within Antal's political government. Do you think that such work would be received as Publicity Material, Propaganda or perhaps even Dissident Material? Is there a fear of Thought Police and censorship?

Yes... erm unfortunately he's not here to speak for himself Galnet seem to have the exclusive.

As part of a community where we share and discuss our values and interests,
how would we not all be writing a whole galactic story?
We might write less so in text, than by deed, but the poet's heart clearly
is pounding within our chests, as we are idealists and will keep true to our dreams.

The story i have written, has been made possible by so many souls,
i cannot name them all. Yet behold, there still is a climax to come.

 

[Ben Ryder]

There you have it. The words of a true scholarly commander and a Utopian with a poetic heart.

The Status Quo and Independence. Oranges are not the only fruit?

All Factions, Powers and Governments have the social issues. The Empire struggles over the Issue of Imperial Slaves, the Federation is a hot bed of Slavery, Delaine's Kumo Crew has Branded Slaves. One would think or hope that Utopia would be a little different.

Utopian systems have and trade in Imperial Slaves, forced slavery and Dissidents and are troubled by Violent Protests. How can these possibly fit in a Utopian ideal?

Secondly, there are rumors that Utopia is the biggest slave provider in the Galaxy. Who are the dissidents, where do they go and what happens to them when they get there?

Thanks Cadoc, it was indeed Minjung.
