Center for Empyrean Studies - WIP
« on: 07 Jun 2012, 11:42 »

     The Center for Empyrean Studies is an informal network based around the idea that CCP has provided us with a staggering amount of lore for New Eden.  The hope is that this network will engage in analysis, postulation, and all around love of EVE Lore through discussion, articles, chronicles, and the like.

     CEMPS as a corporation will not have open recruitment, as in-game "playing" activities will be limited, if present at all beyond chat capabilities and in-game research.  It hopes to simply facilitate the conversation and spark the creation of stories and information pertaining to lore.  Recruitment will be based upon a case-by-case basis, dealing with the interest in the goals of the group.  Young and alternate characters will be evaluated the same as everyone else.

So obviously I think this is a great idea, as we've discussed it some in-game. I like the idea of recruiting people new to S&I or even EVE in general and teaching them how S&I works, plus of course observing them.

A few thoughts on mechanics: if you're not planning to go to NPC null for better access to station research resources (e.g. BP copying and ME research), then you might think about whether a POS is more appropriate. And that takes a lot more planning and work. Alternately, depending on where you locate, you could make an IC business arrangement with the Syndicate or Cartel or something just to rent their labs.

Tool blueprints are excellent RP fodder, especially the R.Db items. You'll probably want to expand past them fairly quickly, though. And consider whether you'll want to expand to some form of in-space operations, whether that's exploration or something else.

I'll send you a PM as well.  :cube:

It's like my paranoid fantasies about the Arek'Jalaan project came alive, and my friends started hanging out with them.

In other words, awesome!

May have an excuse to start publishing EVE papers again. Can't help but feel New Eden needs more SCIENCE.
