GALNET - 29 JUL 3308 - SUPERWEAPON CONSTRUCTION COMPLETED

What would the kumo ethical quandries be around synthetic human meat? On one hand, you still get to eat human meat, but on the other hand, do they taste the same if they weren't people? How much of the product's success resides in the knowledge (or ignorance) of consuming what was another person and how much is just the flavor of the meat?

These are the questions that Kumo must ask themselves.
I will have to submit this to the Kumo Burger High Scholars.
 
Is this official lore? Or some playermade thing?
 
Yes....its totally legit, just like our burgers*

*its based on player lore for the Kumo Crew Powerplay group when the White Templars UA bombed Harma and disabled the Kumo capital.

Plus, i'm pretty sure fdev doesn't follow their official lore whenever it suits them so what's really "Official" is fluid in elite dangerous. So unless fdev comes out with lore that contradicts the community content that's existed for most the game's lifespan, then it's just as official as the rest of it.
 
so our thargoid friends who have lived for millions of years out in space and have outlived all other species (synthetic or otherwise) that have come up against them, are going to just give their current adversary time to continue to oppose them ....and this "super weapon" is somehow going to kill enough thargoids that they stop attacking humans despite us not knowing where they come from or how many exist?


I hope thargoids just haven't really considered humans much of a threat so haven't been really giving it much effort (they would probably look at time differently than us so aren't in a rush)... but the use of this superweapon will change that. Leading to them directing the full force of their civilization down on us and just move thru the bubble like a plague of locusts ...leaving destruction behind. Sure the superweapon may get a bunch, but there would be billions upon billions of thargoid ships descending over the entire bubble at the same time.

leaving only handfuls of stations remaining somehow still functional, and a fraction of humanity. No more mass produced ships, instead we have to scavenge parts and craft ships and parts from debris. And struggle to rebuild humanity while hiding from the interests of the thargoids - who will have retreated back to their own territories.

Yup, that’s the plan.
 
I'm not talking about ships, I'm talking about the fruits of the BGS game. All those settlements and spaceports that Player Minor Factors have spent years to nurture.

it's a role playing asset they knew going in was under fdev's control. There's no guarantee on perpetual existence.

just role play an epic last stand and build it back up from the scraps that remain. Maybe it wont be an in game faction because almost no factions would exist anymore. But it would be far more important (and effective to gameplay), whatever they decide to start doing afterward, than what they're doing now.

players invested tons of effort and content into powerplay originally thinking that any such power was potentially temporary and liable to be removed any given cycle. And we were fine with that because that dynamic nature meant what you were doing mattered and there was real risk involved in losing. Until it became apparent that fdev abandoned the feature and wasn't developing it further at all.

Give meaning to all of the pointless toiling in the BGS by totally destroying it and creating something new from it's ashes. Dont let it continue to bang it's head up against the same wall for no reason forever. This narrative has the potential to revitalize the game by changing the game board. Or it has the chance to leave it the same and we continue down this gradual decline in interest.

And the monkey flicks the ON switch in the 2nd week of August after the game is updated in update 13...
Phase 4 has been confirmed to need to happen first as its still at phase 3...
Yep was always going to happen, all the CGs all the work put in for the main event to land right in the middle of Bloodstock, wonder if i can sneak off for an hour after campsite load in :ROFLMAO:

O7
 
does it come with a physical debris model for 200 bucks limited to only 500 orders? cuz i can't buy collector editions unless they are way overpriced due to pseudo limited physical assets
Yes from what I understand there's a couple of broken pieces of toys in the box. Not sure putting them back together will help, it's just for collectors of broken things. Bottom hat might have better information since he collects a lot of stufz.
 
Thus why some of us would like to see the bubble burn!

Revitalized game play!
Would anything really change as there has been no fundamental changes that would make any kind of difference?
All it's likely to do is annoy lomg term, heavily time invested players to the point where they may quit the game.
It won't revitalize gameplay, only doom ppl to repeat it.

a lot of what makes the current state of things boring is that there are so many stations that nobody needs to really care about bgs states or government types because anything you want is always about a jump away.

reducing the number will change that. it will make flipping systems much more effective and important to care about, it will make players have to consider bgs things and stations would have effectively unique purpose in the game's economy and gameplay.

also, if possible, switching to crafting/finding/fixing things we previously would just buy would eliminate the problem of the broken credit based economy.

edit: you'll get competition between players over bgs activities instead of there being so many people can totally ignore the activity of other players. so everything players are doing matter more compared to most activity players do now not mattering at all because it's easily avoided.
