Are you suggesting that players are so shallow that they would throw away story progression for a small trinket and henceforth never complain about feeling like Elite doesn't have a story or that players don't make a difference?
Talk about stacking the deck....
- Thread starter Mrat13
- Start date
I mean, the results are speaking for themselves.....
Yes. Me want shiny.
Certainly.... being 22KLy away makes it a little difficult though... By the time I've jumped back it'll all be over
Maybe the time for stalemate between the superpowers is coming to an end, and in the coming months there will be movement to real war between them? Reading between the lines of the trial and assasination it does appear that both superpowers are about to be put into turmoil - how refreshing it would be to watch the bubble burn in a superpower war, and if the Devs are smiling on us, the Thargoids will return right in the middle of the furball
From chaos, opportunity.
I mean, I'm purely on the Empire's side in this because I don't want to see the Empire broken down piece by piece, even if I despise the current ruler for getting in bed with the filthy feds against the 'goids, when it was their own mess and we should have stayed out of it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, afterall (the enemy being the feds and alliance).Well, I'm on the Empire side... in a Stygian Red Federal Corvette
for the story mostly - a half baked missile rack can't compensate for the mystery path that lies beyond the Empire winning this one
Hmm, that missile rack would go nice next to the HC penetrator seekers and HC drag frags on my bubble cmdr's Cobra.. and I'm no fan of the superpowers so hmm..
Actually everything I have seen so far has been about people picking their preferred in-game 'side'.
If the Empire loses then it's just because people have good taste
Or that we need a new ruler.....Actually everything I have seen so far has been about people picking their preferred in-game 'side'.
If the Empire loses then it's just because people have good taste
Honestly, I'm starting to like Patreus out of all of them.....
The story progresses either way, it's just that one path has an immediate and tangible reward, while the other is more abstract.
The Eurybia Blue Mafia is already the only anarchy faction in the game with an actual tangible incentive for most players to support them. It's not like crime actually pays well.
You do know what a choice actually is right?
As you have described one, for this CG do you
Choose loyalty
Or choose freedom
Or choose law enforcement
Or choose the mafia
Or Choose a toy
Or choose credits
Or choose neither
Other people having a choice that may result in an outcome you did not choose does not mean you did not get a choice.
It is not like you have not already posted in other threads where people are debating which side to support.
They are community goals not Mrat13 goal
Then why not have a shiny shiny for both CGs? Explain that.
Because there does not have to be.
As the choice isn't just about shiny shiny.
That might be all you care about.
That is your choice.
But that isn't everyone's.
It is to the player base.....
Is it?
No threads here about defending the empire or sticking it to slaver scum.
I guess they arent part of the player base.
I guess you are right
Both need a shiny shiny
Both need the exact same reward
Both need the exact same lack of consequences.
Heck just have the same payment to both sides regardless of what tier they reach.
That will solve you problem with the CGs having any risk of being possibly perceived as having the desk in favour of one side over the other
That was the choice you demand really really matters.
well well well, what do we have here? Looks like Mrs. Ryder is in bed with the NMLA terrorists after all: An Enzyme Dumbfire missiles, fired (presumably) by Eurybian Mafia ships... (honest question here: Has anyone ever seen NPC firing that sort of missile in CZs?)
Yup, since the update that added the CZ scenarios.
Also seen them in Pirate Activity Signal Sources.
