[nariquo]

i mean the only news about the slavery is a joke. where is the big wars and so on. i dont see any difference to gamma or beta?

Im assuming we might hear something about it in the newsletter friday and they just want to get all the new players settled.

OR it doesn't really exist and it was mostly fans of the "Just wait till___" variety pushing the idea. The Gamma forum was full of people saying the game will become more alive suddenly on launch.

 

[nariquo]

so it is better todo the story later when the old players are terrible borred and the new player are getting bored. i personally think they lied

The EPIC story is actually an non-interactive, old-school text adventure (read: read-only) you see on the right side of the station news, hehe!
I wonder who writes those texts... and whom they try to adress with that... "style"...

But according to some others you need a cargo hold of imagination to see the story...unfold..

Duuuude relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax.... just.. like.. chill out man... here... try some onionhead...

The story is political.

If you go to the systems that the galnet feed talks about, there are conflict zone, capital ships, large space battles.

You ... you are the story!

Now tell me what station you're in so we can come on over and watch just how great you are.

Don't forget eating mushrooms before playing the game so you can really see the story.

I have a feeling what we are seeing right now is just the prelude, like a "get to know the who's who of the galaxy". They have given us several impact points that we can affect as players, and it's up to us how the story progresses.

Did you expect the current story to reach climax instantly?

My guess is that were seeing the buildup to something big that will begin as they release a bigger content update. "Wings alliances" possibly.

Speculations but its only logic that the first big story event happens at least a week or two post release.

 

[nariquo]

ah so the story is just a boring not working trading and moorhun shooting simulation.
with litte fxxxx text in the news.
a forgot the broken reputation simulation sorry

non-interactive.... Yeah, zipping around that massive Cap ship, putting down a slave rebellion. Searching for terrorists. Liberating slaves... Seems pretty interactive to me!

And you saw that... where exactly? At Kappa? Doubt you have been there...

 

[Eleazyair]

It doesn't exist, it never did.

 

[ScottGust]

Probably announce in Newsletter...and yes relax, FD's always on the mark.

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Story is told via news feeds, missions, what you meet cruising around, etc. It is not spoon fed. Background sim still gets tweaked a lot and FD have provided feedback how user actions have changed stability of lot of systems. Also story line is driven forward by FD now, but after week they will reevaluate user input and change story accordingly.

It is not Hollywood style, cut scene based story if that's what you meant.

 

[nariquo]

yeah they always promise things and well tell us it is coming later. for example wings

Just a lame numbers...lame numbers...no soul!!!!!1

It will take some time for this to sink in. People expect lot of spoon fedding when facing story in the game.

It's in Sarbago, it's been talked about all over, how did you miss this? The Emperor is dying, there is a slave revolt, there are two cap ships and three conflict zones and a civil war. I was there all night as was many other players.
