EVE Fiction

Well, while you speak truth, it's also true that the status quo is hard to change. Those events you mention were quite an upset on the status quo, so it doesn't surprise me that reality (read, the forces behind the thrones) tends to go back to the equilibrium it previously had.

I really liked Empyrean Age and Templar One. Sure it was not Starship Troopers but It was cool reading about civilian and non player actions

I have to admit that this makes me smile, given how much negativity you were exhibiting earlier in the year.

Given that you're a long standing EVE roleplayer, it was pretty disheartening to see you so wound up about storyline, because on the vast majority of points our opinions are similar.

I'm glad that yourself and a lot of other people who choose immersive gameplay based on our storyline are now feeling a little better off.

The whole Illuminati has worked pretty hard to shake things up a little, so it's good to see that people are at least starting to enjoy things a bit more.

In general terms, I don't think this is a case of us "erasing all trace of the novels" at all, it's just a case of us changing things up a little again.

EVE's backstory can't remain static forever, and change needs to happen every so often to keep up development of a living, breathing world.

I don't think things actually work like that, both in causality and work organization.

Well I really wish eve had a more engaging storyline with a rich background. Perhaps falcon you could mention it to the powers who be that some of us are craving this form of content and depth to the game.

You are joking, right?

You are aware that EvE has more story and writing than most games out there?

Have you bothered to check out the Chronicles, here?

How about the Evelopedia articles on the factions, like, say, the State, here,here,here,and here

And that's just some of the most official information on the Caldari. You can find that sort of info on every major faction and some minor ones. You can also check out some very interesting player created content like the Caldari Dialogues, here.

And then you can go read the backstory, organized in a nice portal, here. There are scientific articles, short stories, the Chronicles, of course, and organizations, races, items, and more. Good grief, there are terabytes of story and description.

And if that's not enough, you can go buy the novels, though I only recommend The Burning Life, and can sorta "ok" Templar One.

Now shoo. Go read. And be happy.

I don't think it's possible. The technology is too different between the two. Minmatar use nuclear- and plasma-based technology (nuclear reactors, plasma thrusters, etc.) while the Caldari use graviton- and magnetic-based technology (graviton reactors, magpulse thrusters, gravimetric sensors) and those things don't seem very compatible to me. However, I would love to see some variations in the thruster effects between the different technologies all the races use. The Amarr use fusion thrusters, the Gallente use ion thrusters, and as previously mentioned the Minmatar and the Caldari use plasma and magpulse, respectively.

(Sorry for going off-topic.)

To my knowledge, Minmatar ships have always used a combination of projectile weapons and missile tech...

I really hated Heth, to me he is such scumbag.

Amen. Again, I have to apologize to Falcon for being so critical at the beginning of the arc. I still don't entirely like how it was handled, but I'm more than willing to put up with it for the resolution.
