Storyline on the 16th

Sorry if it's been asked before, but search didn't result with anything I'm interested in.

It's been confirmed that story unfolds on the 16th.
Is it gonna be a true, narrated, guided story with some kind of campaign/missions, or is it gonna be a "passive" story, more like something happening somewhere in the background, events such as randomly spawned war zones, market crisis, etc. (stuff we've already seen) ?
Will we be able to roam freely, then at some point choose to jump on the storyline, and vice versa ?

If i understand it correctly, we will be given "hints", like info in the newsletter, or maybe the GalNet. You know:

"Rebellion in the Prism system! Prism Separatist looking for the Empire support, senator Palpatine (lol) is rumoured to send a fleet of ships, including his personal dreagnought "Putin"! Legal goverment of Prism fears, that the capital ships presence in the system will "persuade" the population to join the Empire. First skirmishes between the Empire and Federation mercenary forces have been reported."

And then conflict zones appear in the system. You can go there and shot the other side players and NPCs. Side that gets most kills spreads its influence over the system.

At least thats my educated guess ;).

It looks like itll be a passive story involving the empire and the death of the emporer. I think there will be missions, such as gun running, from either side of the succesion fight but also from the federation and allience as they will want to influence the succession and further disable the Empire. Also I expext battle grounds where you pick a side like in beta.

There will be a storyline?
I thought this is what we get - a storyline even if it's only a couple scripted missions would be much apreciated.

I think there will be a scripted story line (created and maintained by the Dev team) which will evolve according to what we do in game.

This will be supplemented by dynamically generated regional events.

I think, but don't take it as gospel. The Dev team haven't spoken too much about the latest plans.

Well it is the festive season so it will be a re-telling of Charles ens' A Christmas Carol with the Thargoids playing the part of Scrooge. After being hideously decimated by the human race they will see the error of their ways and spread Christmas cheer throughout the known universe.

Completely non-essential passive story line. It is there if you want to get involved and may cause some events/issues along your own path. Perhaps you are an independent trader from Hecate and a conflict causes one of your stops to be infested with military types that might not be friendly to your flag. Or perhaps the trades that become most profitable to you are directly related to supplying either side of a conflict or providing aid to war refugees.

Of course, you could get right into it...work your way up to a rank in either major faction and start seeing storyline driven missions that affect the outcome more directly.
