Rapid and surprising rise of technological advancements in previously stagnant fields
2012.05.14 14:40:50


Major advances have been made recently in various once-stagnant scientific fields, throughout all of civilized New Eden. While the full impact of these advances has yet to be measured, their effects, for good and ill, are already being felt at various levels of society.


Over the following days, we will present a brief overview of the current state of affairs. It must be noted that the brevity of this reportage is due partly to how new these advances are - The Scope always strives to be first  - and partly because of the cloud of secrecy that overhangs them. There has been an intensification of high-level interest in the great factional wars, and it is believed, though not yet proven, that these scientific advances are due at least in part to the efforts of those political forces. It will not come as any surprise to our readers that all questions related, if even tangentially, to these forces and their effects on the war efforts are met with muted silence.


It must also be noted that the various entities responsible for these advances have remained extremely reticent to comment on any part of the process. This applies not only to those directly involved - scientists known to be working on related projects, educational and research institutions whose charters explicitly involve the fields in question, and so on - but also those believed to be indirectly involved, including the members and commanding officers of any scouting or expeditionary forces whose missions clearly have brought back more than anyone expected. Even when questioned about a tangential matter - such as rumors of a drug (reputedly codenamed "Inferno") whose functions have supposedly had a direct effect on the status of recent scientific advancements - there is near-total silence.


Nonetheless, we believe we have uncovered more than enough information to present a fair and balanced look at both sides of these new technological advancements. Their upsides, as our readers might expect from any new advancement in science, are numerous and apply to both the lowest rungs of earthbound societies and the upper echelons of capsuleerdom. Their downsides, however, are equally notable, not merely for the direct effect they have on certain parts of human society, animals and the environment in New Eden, but also for the damage they may be doing to progress in other fields - xenobiology, archaelogy, history and various social sciences.

There's IC news reports, and there's "patch-day hype" news.

This is the latter, and should not be taken in any way, shape or form to indicate that we're going to be getting real IC news anytime soon.

[Kybernetes Moros]

Suspicious that these are building to a patch more than anything, really.

Edit: gdi, Morwen. gtfo.

[Esna Pitoojee]

It's not even news. It's "well here's yet another repetition of all the stuff we've been working on, that we've only been telling you about for ages."

The ISD do listen, if you have something worth their time. In any case, it never hurts to get in contact and try.

Unfortunately, when they struggle with the names of characters, well...

Yes its unfortunate, but hey could be worse.

Sorry, I tend to take "getting names right" as a pretty fundamental part of even lazy internet spaceships journalism. >_>

As someone whose name has been misspelled in ISD news reports, this. So much. There is ZERO excuse for misspelling a character's name in a news article after you've interviewed them in a private convo where their name appears several times.

One up: Kyber, of True Slave Foundations, smartbombs an Incursion fleet running a rebirth facility or whatever and gets interviewed for helping to destroy the first Kundalini Manifest. I... just... I can't. What.

[Desiderya]

A cunning tactic indeed.

Still makes me laugh.

Also Ashab.

Hello, I'm Istvaan Shogaatsu. I'm also Istavaan Shoogatsu, Itsavan Shogatsuu, Istvaan Shugoatse, Vistvaan Horsegatsu and Ist... Istv... Its... that faggot from GHSC.

No, no nono, your that prick from GSHC.

For my part the only ISD news item any of my toons have been in had the name spelled right... but the interview was twisted around to be presented differently than intended. I hear that happens allot.

[Kentt]

I was mentioned in the Tech4's last voiced episide ^.^ They got my name right first try!  Never been in any others though, but I am satisfied.
