Stranded Part 6

First mention of Skymother (go to the end)

SPOILERS!!!!!

Just read Part 6 of Stranded, and I'm rather excited again, though I don't have a PS3 for Dust.  Back when I read about Skymother, I assumed that it was going to be the war barge for Dust, but now I am not so sure.  However General Crazy Torin seems to think that Skymother is some sort of weapon, or he equates it to the future dusters, which I would think makes more sense if Skymother is a weapon.  however, he also mentions that it is for the saving of the Minmatar, so it might not be. 

All that can be really known at this point is that Skymother is a ship, that it is really big, and it is supposed to save all of the Minmatar.  It might be a weapon or transport of some sort, it might be Elder related (The general mentions both, but he could be expanding on Skymother, or comparing it with the Elder).  Skymother and the dusters could also be coming from the same technology, its not really clear, but whatever this tech the General stole was being transported to those in charge, and those in charge seem to be in charge of Skymother.  I suppose that we will find out sooner or later.  But it is nice to see that CCP doesn't forget all of its plotlines.

Skymother reminds me of the 3 Jovian motherships. Interesting possibilities arise...

[Seriphyn]

Actually, sounds like the Minmatar are going to get another deus ex machina to help them start/fight/win a war?

[Saikoyu]

I really hope that they don't, that's all we really need at this point.  Though I do keep hoping for actual player flown motherships (not supercarriers).

You do bring up a good point though, Seriphyn.  The Amarr and Minmatar have really been heading the RP front for a while now with CCP supported stuff.  Where's the Gallente super weapon, or the Caldari devious plot?

Another super-weapon?

It's just so boring.

Relevant quote:

We can save all of Minmatar. Us. Not Skymother. Not the Elders and their empty prophecies.

This definitely says CCP have a heap of lore that they aren't telling us about yet, as other than being a really massive ship, we have no idea what its capabilities are.
The Elder reference I took as refering to the Elder fleet from Empyrean Age. If the Skymother is on par with that, it must be some serious hardware.

("We" in the quote referring to them using immortal dust soldier tech)

Where's the Gallente super weapon, or the Caldari devious plot?

Roden leveraging cold-electronically-stored ISK to crash the Caldari market with a little help from Ishukone doesn't count?  Or is that not fantastical enough for Eve ( )?

[Gottii]

Am I the only one who thought "Skymother" might actually be a Matari religious reference when I first read it?  Was much more excited about it then.  Now, finding out its another Death Star-esque thing...bleah.

[hellgremlin]

I don't think it's a death star. I think it's an ark. I also think we'll see more arks under construction.

All this has happened before...

[Kenpachi]

As part of the "total hell death" expansion they've hinted at?

[Graelyn]

Well, in that case, that would be interesting.
