Possible conspiricy theory?

[ballingham]

Hey guys, I'm not very well versed in the forums yet so if there is already a thread about this, feel free to delete it and message me the link.

I came across this while I was fighting in the recent "Mu Koji war", this CMDR I was talking to had recently saved me from being destroyed in a combat zone and when i came back from repairs he was talking about how he was just trying to reduce the death toll as much as he could (he even put his ship between mine and the fed capital ships cannon fire while i was idling ~7km away typing). we were discussing what the war meant for the story/ powers when he said this http://imgur.com/a/WkKzZ, i didn't get the screen cap of what came after but it was just that "inside" meant people that knew that things aren't what they seem (now including me) and then he messed around sitting in the fed capital ship while me and a few others messed with it.

What do you guys think? Is he full of crap? Is there information pointing towards this? [alien]

I'm sure I heard Obsidian Ant said something similar in a podcast yesterday - that he thinks there are forces manipulating the 2 factions to war.

This has been well covered and speculated on in both the Canonn threadnaught and the Formidine Rift thread.

ahh ok, like I said I'm not well versed in the forums, so thanks for letting me know

 

[SirDavros]

Hmm.. very cool. It may well have been talked about elsewhere but who has time to trawl through a several hundred page thread, you just brought it to me for the first time!

 

[ballingham]

Yeah, the thread naught is a daunting read.

Yes, for sure there are foreign forces manipulating us.
1st Developers that inject thiese type of community goals to bring people to fight each other.
2nd There is a huge possibility that in-lore-forces are creating these conflicts to reudce federal AND imperial forces
to prepare the invasion.
3rd we should stop that and prepare our forces for things to come. It is planned to push all of us into a bubble wide war.
If you do not want to be part of that, keep an ASP in your backyard To step out to Sag A* once all hellp breaks loose.

Miklos

It's all about the hype and the spin. This impending "war" is nothing more than a scripted event, just like all the other "discoveries". All just a little bit too convenient...nothing is left to chance and nothing is random. Everything that is happening is doing so exactly as FD want it to happen...which is why I merely stopped listening to them entirely. The plot is paper thin and pretty predictable and the only ones taking this all so literally are the role players who are so into their roles, that they have learned to play the game with blinkers on to ignore the fact that they are simply pawns.

"i don't think aliens are coming until 2.2"
Such optimistic

 

[Conch]

could someone turn this into a meme please?

 

[Schlack]

One conspiracy theory is that the Alliance is manipulating everything.

Cant say that we have noticed anything though.

 

[verminstar]

Here's another theory. Nothing else will be "discovered" until FD wants us to discover it. Things they claim were hidden in the game all along are only found when the timing is just right for someone to "find" them.

How am I doing so far?

 

[Wile_E]

Well, if you see this guy asking around "What do you want?", better start getting that long range ship in order....

 

[verminstar]

Oh wait, I heard this one before..."winter is coming"?

It's autumn so that's 3 month away. More than enough time to watch every single episode of babylon 5 twice ^^

Short version of my theory: every action of feds and imps is orchestrated by a group of corporate and government higher-ups who all have vested interests in the big ship manufacturers and tech companies (CoreDynamics, Sirius, Gutamaya (though part of me thinks the imps are actually just patsies in the scheme, totally unaware of the larger conspiracy, while most of the shady dealings are done by some secretive division of the Federation)). This same group is responsible for the shell corporation Meta Drive Inc. which was set up to cover up the tracks of their investments towards weaponizing UAs, engineering barnacles, bringing Hudson to office so they could have a military leader who would jump into a war quicker than someone like Halsey. They had prior knowledge of the aliens and we're likely secretly developing technology to combat them (meta-alloys, super-speed ships like the unidentified DBX) so that when the time comes the power of their choosing (the Feds I'm guessing) will stand a chance in not being wiped out and can gain control in the galaxy pushing whatever agenda they choose.

Traditionally in Elite lore, Sirius corporation has done what they can to encourage conflict between the Feds and the Imps. Continuous war meant continuous supply of military fuel. If one party started getting the upper hand, Sirius would limit their supply.

Now we don't have any military fuel. We do however have all the big corporations over spending on research and Sirius corporation taking control of Meta-Drive.

If you spend a lot on research you want to make sure there is a market for your new product.

Art mirrors life. Manipulating all factions using the Hegelian Dialectic was the staple for 20th century warfare. All of it
