[Spoiler] TMC Article: Dust 514 Map
« on: 18 Mar 2013, 20:29 »

Apparently a DUST 514 map (/update) features a crashed Leviathan in the background.

So, unless the leak changes the course of the story, either the Fed will cause the Leviathan to crash into Caldari Prime or if we can't have it no one will strategy comes to pass.

It's just CCP railroading the Caldari to lose. Again. It doesn't matter what we actually do in the game, the Caldari are almost certainly going to lose Caldari Prime.

I would view it more in the nature of a correction, since I think the entire 'grab Caldari Prime' plot line was a little difficult to believe in the first place.

Falcon commented earlier that people are doing a lot of speculating about this, and that they "need glasses".

So it may not be what it appears.

tbh when i was playing the map it didn't really look like a titan, that might have been because it was in pieces but it looked to small to be a titan, it looked more like a piece from a Chimera or a Phoenix.

Looks a lot more like a piece of something, like a Chimera or Leviathan, but not the whole thing.

You could over-analyze it, sure. To me it just looks like a very pretty static mesh that gives a game in beta a little more needed atmosphere. :)

Provide examples of all the times the Caldari has been railroaded into losing?

Either that or stop complaining.

The sheer size of the damn thing puts it well over the Chimera, unless 1 kilometre in Dust is a Big Deal? A Leviathan or possibly a Wyvern would be needed to great a husk that huge.

I'm not too familiar with capital ship models...besides my beloved Providence/Ark so I can't really say it looks like a bit of any other ship to me.  That said, I haven't seen anyone else mention it...but could this be a Rogue Drone drop ship equivalent?  The colors are a bit difficult to truly judge in the image provided, lighting can make for some startling changes after all.  However, given that Dust has touted "survival matches" against waves of drones, I have to consider it a possibility.  And lets be honest, rogue drones could very easily see no problem with crashing a giant craft into a planet as a means of landing/colonizing.

tl,dr;

Rogue Drone Hive Shard.
