Title: No DT event...?
Post by: Seriphyn on 26 May 2010, 07:17
Was like this for Dominion, and I'm finding it a bit disappointing...but there's still 5 more hours to go. I was expecting at the very least a news post which mentions the backstory of Tyrannis (http://www.eveonline.com/tyrannis/pi_backstory.asp). Or Sansha/empire wtfpwning empire/Sansha...or Heth being disposed of...

 :(

But we already know the backstory, some stuffy fellow with scraps of red tape hanging from his thorax (bodypart) signed a peice of paper that says that capsuleers can do stuff like that.

Or Roden's election being declared illegal...   :bash:

I'm surprised there hasn't even been a single article on th PI backstory. They could have written up an enormous serious of news articles or even a chronicle or two about the debate, discussion, and dealmaking within CONCORD as the new treaty mentioned on the Tyranis features page was drawn up and signed.

Ah, well. Maybe we'll still get something in the next couple of days.

I'd love to see a story on how Gallente planet dwellers intend to sue the shit out of capsuleer corporations (or hire other ones to get them off their worlds).   If I don't, I may have to write one. :P

There's a region description which mentions a law which prohibits corporations from developing Gallente planets without an OK from the local government and strict oversite or somesuch... certainly I think that opens up quite a possibility of a possible conflict in the future, perhaps even a live event? (planet dwellers' hired militia + like-minded capsuleers vs less environmentally inclined capsuleers? )

That'd be vastly more entertaining than Sabi's hunting down and podding someone because he stepped on one of her aunt's prize chickens.

There's Syndicate where IIRC no development of planets is allowed at all. Is there another one? (I may need to read up on the Gallente side of things more, in general.)

I'm sure the phrase "Aclan Agreement" is going to be turning up in legal briefs any instant now.

I wonder whether that will extend to capsuleers in Syndicate.

Y'know, just wondering. >.>

Nice.

Casi: I have had some vague plans, just fiction-wise, using that situation in Syndicate. I hope CCP doesn't mess it up for me /o\.

For capsuleers, maybe they fall outside of the jurisdiction that the Fed uses to keep Syndicate folks from developing on the planets?

I need to do more research. I thought they'd prohibited it when the Syndicate first got run out there, but do they still enforce it? How long ago was that? Does CONCORD recognize the Syndicate as a sovereign state? Even if not, if it's just outlaw space, does CONCORD even care? If there's a treaty amendment, doesn't the Fed have to accept that?

Glad I'm looking at Curse more than Syndicate for planetary management right now... ;)

I wished there was at least some form of press messages from each of the factions indicating the new possibilities for Planetary development and inviting loyal capsuleers to help develop backwater worlds.

What i have been thinking lately, that might be intriguing from an RP perspective, what happens if a capsuleer or capsuleer corporation does not only develop a planet quite well, but wishes to "terraform" it?. Would make some interesting "impact" in the universe at the hand of players.

From what I read, that basically prevents the destruction of the environment for the planet, not preventing development altogether.

Quote from: Evelopedia
No planet that supported any life-form was to have its ecosystem disrupted with in any way without a license being granted from the Federation Senate.

If I had to wager, the 'license' will be sold with the command centers.

As I understand it, CCP is looking at terraforming for future development of PI.

The big Tyrannis expansion downtime reveal is tied in to the return of live events in EVE when the Gallente Federal Intelligence Office announces it has uncovered hard evidence that...

Just another reason to wipe those scum from the universe...

Interesting to see that terraforming is "future feature" for PI.
