In the Origins trailer it was mentioned that the empire factions are losing their power and there was some hints that we'll one day (not that Fan-fest is a reliable source for future features) be able to craft/(destroy?) star gates and expand our control all over the place.

Soooooo does this mean that they're going to try and diminish/out-right remove High Sec NPC Factions? If so, I have to say I'm somewhat disheartened What? the thought of it is a little sad to say the least. I'm not saying that I'm adverse to the idea, but it definitely would be a shame.

Edit: In retrospect, it would be a pretty bad business decision to spend so much time revamping Faction Warfare just to eliminate the Empire Factions all together O_o;

Yes. They're all going away. All ships will be merged into one rce. Calgalminarr. The Flag will be a puke green/crap brown colour.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

I for one can't wait for combined empire race to have a launcher that shoots missiles that shoots a rail gun shot that shoots lasers and have shield reps the repair armor.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

The Empire's power, lore wise, has been diminishing ever since capsuleers came about. That's basically what the trailer was referring too.

They're not going to remove the Empire factions though, that would be a disastrous change if not suicidal.

Actually it would be Jove. They seeded the bloodlines by fracturing their genetically primed behavioural patterns into separate races in a long term attempt to find a cure for the jovian disease. Once they were advanced enough they gave the fledgling races the cloning and capsule technology to monitor both cerebral and genetic development.

Soon they will have enough data collected to re-merge the DNAs of the bloodlines into a cured strain and inject it into their own new clones, saving them. They will then no longer have any use for the empires and exterminate them.

Only the Capsuleers survive and we fight against overwhelming forces for our survival in a post-apocalyptic EVE.

Taking advantage of my not-quite-so-apt-as-it-should-be lore knowledge Evil

Assuming it's true however, that'd be a crazy turn of events that I haven't seen since Atonement RPI (text based) left Alpha..

Sort of scary, actually.

I'm not sure that even CCP really has a strong grasp of what they mean by the whole "Imagine a future where players are doing the things the empires are doing".

Does that mean we can build out own NPC "police" and "CONCORD" to create our own high sec's? Or, we take sov of a high sec system, and pay rent that goes to fund "the navy and CONCORD"?

Or smaller, like remove the NPC stations to be replaced by high sec corp outposts? Charge the station owners fees used to fund the navy and CONCORD?


Are the stargaes we can build, like super jump bridges? Lead to brand new solar systems? Who knows?


They're just tossing out crumbs at this point, to keep us interested in the future, as the info on Odyssey is fleshed out.

All who form seperate empires and...wait a second...

Locked for breaking... well, pretty much all the rules.

It's quite obviousl what is going to happen. The capsuleer infested militia becomes too powerful and takes over. No faction can fight off such an absurd amount of cloaky stabbed faction frigates Pirate
