If you haven't realized, Nation has entered the Twitter age.


I'm... depressed now.

THAT IS IT I AM MAKING A TWITTER

Sansha's on twitter?

I've suddenly lost all respect for the guy.

Only Astur, I hope.

Perhaps we need a Backstage Twitter thread for those of us who joined the Tweetfleet long ago.

This is an old debate with the Godmodding, but always a thin line to walk. 

I have issues with anyone claiming they have evacuated civilians from a sovereign planetary government.  I'm pretty sure local Holders would be less than helpful to foreigners coming in and taking their citizens, be they nation or other random capsuleers.

Our version (successful or not), was to simply supply forces in advance that I could basically prove in-game, and not speak on the outcome, leaving that to the actors present, etc if they chose to.  We made very clear effort to state we gave up all control of those units to the local authorities, etc and that we were not running the show when they were on the surface. Capsuleers have no authority on planets aside from their own land, etc, which you can always make a case for. Perhaps sending troops to your own planetary structures can be backed up, but I don't see much else aside from that.

I just don't see any way to rationalize IC, say, a KPV freighter running into minmatar space and 'helping' the locals by taking a bunch of civilians and dropping troops during a fight.  They'd be shot out of orbit immediately, I would imagine.


I'm sure opinions are varied on this, but a tough line to walk

Well, so would the Sansha dropships be, so...

(Joke. Actually I agree with you.)

Bit off topic, but I generally agree. Also, the implications of being able to (relatively) easily evacuate whole planets has the potential to quickly create suspension of disbelief problems in regard to world consistency. Just consider the fuss over Caldari Prime occupation.

Also, frankly, if a random capsuleer can evacuate a whole planet, it will be rather hard to come up with reasons why certain Amarr capsuleers haven't already "evacuated" majority of Minmatar planets. Or vice versa. Or why random griefers haven't evacuated everybody everywhere, just because they can and it makes lolRPers mad.

When you recycle the Sansha codebreaker (twice) -

Gives you:

1x Badly Mangled Components
1x Codebreaker 1
1x True Slave Decryption Node

edit/awesome, the True Slave node:

Functionally, this piece of hardware - obviously of Sansha origin - is an extremely sophisticated parallel processing unit. Connecting it to a standard interface bus and running a few diagnostics reveals that it has been configured to act as the master node for a quasi-distributed decryption system, and its response rate suggests that it's exceptionally efficient at this task.

It is, however, difficult to ignore the fact that it's also a head in a jar - particularly when it opens its eyes briefly, looks around, and frowns.

[Ghost Hunter]

True Slave frowns upon its conspicuously odd location!

This Christmas gift just became AWESOME! :O

So, I reread this chron tonight and given recent discoveries, I'm now really wondering who this particular capsuleer employer was...

[Ghost Hunter]

Oh man look at my ancient forum whoring stats, that's pretty boss

[Amann Karris]

capsuleer

It wasn't her.  Trust me.

Nothing to see here, move along people, move along.

First thread, and the first reply is from Toastmaster. . .

Ghost Hunter, Toaster. Signs of relationship. . . with Toastmaster.

It all makes sense.

This is the part where everyone dives through my post history I made when I was 12 years old.

I REGRET. NOTHING.

(also we should get back on topic)
