Leaked Data Causes Concerns over Latest Imperial Technology


News of technical documents posted anonymously via the shady dark network are spreading virally and causing widespread concern among Imperial Pilots. According to the documents some of the new Imperial modules that have been appearing recently are linked to research carried out by the discredited Professor Denzile Dex and doubts about their safety have been raised.


Professor Dex has been missing for several years and it is widely believed that his sudden disappearance was connected to the 4EverYoung life-extension technology scandal. Allegations of shortcuts and the withholding of critical data were made following a spate of cases where users of the technology suffered various deforming and debilitating mutations. Dex vanished shortly before he was due to give evidence to the official inquiry investigating the allegations.


According to the latest story, research seized from Professor Dex at the time of the 4EverYoung scandal formed the basis of the design for a number of the latest Imperial prototypes including the Imperial Hammer and the Prismatic Shield Generators. Anecdotal reports of side effects from the new technology have already begun surfacing and a number of concerned groups have called for an official statement from the Senate about the leak.


One report claims that the harmonic adjustments in the design of the Prismatic Shield Generator can cause temporary cognitive impairment and even psychosis.

Other reports link a form of high-level radiation emitted by the Imperial Hammer with increased rates of sterility and hormonal imbalances.

One angry commentator even claimed it had caused him to develop female physical characteristics.

Whoever writes this stuff up, thumbs up.
 
"One angry commentator even claimed it had caused him to develop female physical characteristics."

Free boob job with every purchase?

Where can I buy them :cool:
 
Hahahaha! This is hilarious!
Be careful commanders - it looks like using both modules is a way to "sterile transgender psycho" :eek:
 
"One angry commentator even claimed it had caused him to develop female physical characteristics."

Further study has shown that those pilots suffering from this have showing an increased chance of docking failure. Expert analysis of the data received so far indicate that 'Spacial Awareness' seems to be have been reduced. Although general cleanliness of ships escape capsules have increased.
 
My guess is that they're going to be nerfed and this is the in-game lore as to why.

I doubt that.
The sources of the leak were never corrobarated so it could just be dismissed as propaganda.
Only scientific analysis of the claims or perhaps the re-appearance of Professor Dex will reveal if there is any truth to them.

We Imperials are already psycho. So who would notice if we got even more so?

And why would they want to nerf the Prismatic shields. They're already nerfed. You have to have pledged to Aisling for 4 weeks, be at rating 3 and on top of that, they use more power than a shield/booster combo and are heavier than normal shields. And now they want to nerf them even further? What is going on here? Is it "he/she shouldn't have better stuff than me. So what if he/she earned it, it's wrong for them to have it."? If that's the case then I suggest you resign from life and lay down and die. Things are not always equal and not always fair. There will always be those who rise above the rest. Or is this turning into Elite: Carebear?
 
Arrr! It's a Trap! ??

You are already psychopaths, yes. Now you will be psychotic psychopaths ;)

Just be glad you weren't given the Advanced Plasma Accelerator. I'm assuming Galnet didn't mention the reports about it's side-effects because it's a family oriented news network and there could be kids reading.
 
and THIS is why i haven't pledged yet - the only perk about PP that interested me was those shields, so they're a natural nerf-target

i'm glad i waited. impending vindication win +1

Exactly why I held off, if I pledge to some loser faction for a month only to get these nerfed i won't be happy.
