One can only assume it's a representation of how the capsuleer sees herself.

But...we see ourselves as our ships. Through camera drones.

(I'd say it's for dramatic visual storytelling, actually, and pretty well-done at that.)

The "empires fear us" part of the trailer gives me the shivers for some reason.

The trailer was extremely well-done visually (I liked the Terran ships. Currently debating whether they are cobbled together from existing technical assets or entirely new models).

However. Call me a bittergrump, but there are two things PFwise in this trailer that really bug me. One is of course the "your original body is terminated" thing - I'm not terribly fond of the idea either.

The other is that CCP really needs to figure out whether we're independent of CONCORD / the Big 4 or not. A lot of the promotional material spins the capsuleers as completely unbound, but the reality of what we can do ingame (not just balance-driven mechanics, but certain things CCP has made a deliberate choice not to let us do) suggest we are on a far tighter leash.

They will need to resolve CONCORD if things will move in that direction. Any 'uprising' will be short indeed while they still hold all the puppet strings.

I don't buy the "CONCORD can pull the plug on our clones" idea. There are way too many pirates, pirate-faction-loyalists, suicide gankers, and terrorists running about unchecked for that to be a reality. Hell, they wouldn't even have to pull the plug on all of us ne'er-do-wells, just a few of the big names. That kind of message would end the Hulkageddons and suchlike quick.

This. I loved the video, but this troubled me enormously. I understand it's not as cool visually as a cockpit... but still, it's a main thing in EVE lore. :(

Still, video is great.

I never said a thing about 'pulling the plug' - CONCORD's evident controls are much more subtle. I'll note here that I am not a huge fan of the "CONCORD holds you on a super-tight leash" dynamic any more than I am the "hahahaha, we are utterly free and unbound" one, but there are a great many hints that we are being constrained in some fashion by the very capsule technology we use - for instance, why can we not easily scan down enormous empire naval yards in highsec? They obviously exist, but we can't even catch a mere hint of them on our scanners.

This is worth a whole separate discussion on the cast of tools available for Dev Actors to 'hit back' at players opposing their IC goals.


EDIT: Well, it seems the 'Terran ship' is an entirely new model, which was also teased at via the art panel.

It is also the model used in the new exploration sites.

Here's a fun one for you guys: that trailer may replace the ingame intro video. Don't remember which dev I was talking to last night that said it, though; I kinda stopped keeping track after midnight or so.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

So we're finally going to do away with the 'rawr, look at me I'm a spaceship' video in lieu of what's essentially a rehash of the original intro? :D
