Hi guys, just to clarify the Rift Wing directive. The whole event / mission is open to all players and groups, so anyone can take part. However we want to keep the first CoR wings safe from ambush during the first patrol as we want to play this out in open play, but we will reluctantly drop into a CoR only private group if our pilots are hassled by opportunists.
We are going to roleplay along with this directive as CoR is primarily a role play group (and that could possibly be one of the reasons why Salome entrusted us to set this up in the first place). We encourage other groups or individuals to roleplay along with it too, although that’s obviously a personal choice.
This is a great opportunity to be part of a developing story in game, giving it a physical CMDR presence aspect, and real one on one protagonist interaction, instead of seeing it all unfold in text format on GalNet posts and forum threads.
As I mentioned this is open to all non-CoR pilots too, so the maps showing the patrol zone will be posted this week on the Formidine Rift thread, so Rifters know where we’re operating. The actual system waypoints will be posted once the first CoR patrol has began its mission and will be posted toward the end of next week.
We’ve been instructed that the mission is a long term commitment and its expected that CoR must continue to hold a presence at the listening post patrol zone until instructed otherwise – possibly several months, at which point possible directives for phases 2 and 3 will be put in place “depending on how the story unfolds”.
