Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.

*hype cap on*

Did you guys notice that at 2:20 the Valkyrie says "multiple bogies incoming, launching fighters"? Are Valkyries (as in the game, not the drone) more than fighters? Squad commanders?

I know I'm excited

This is likely connected to the sleepers/the others that the sleepers were at war with.
Something Amarr would naturally be very connected to with the Empresses 'condition'.

Still, new gates doesn't make me that happy, just more space to be farmed until they get space having meaningful content in volume & not being lorded over.

Actually, that was the troopship pilot that said that, asking for fighter support.

You can tell because the Valkyrie ship is coming into attack range behind her as she is saying that.

Yeah, a couple of problems.....

Dust just got kicked in the nuts, so good luck getting the bunnies (left) to participate.

Valkyrie isn't even close to release and is a stand alone arcade shooter.

Other than that, your theory is perfect.

Those weren't empire ships- it was capsuleers, building a new EVE gate to travel to new space (and no, it won't be our space [in all probablility])


Posted this in another thread but I'll post it here.

The trailer was actually a glimpse into the past. When Caldari and Gallente built their first Stargate, since before that the empires used ancient stargates built by the Jovians and Sleepers. The Amarr where the only ones who mastered gate technology which is why they attacked.

AD 21290
The Amarr build their first star gate, between Amarr and Hedion. This sparks a period of great expansion for the Empire

AD 22588
The Gallente and the Caldari build their first stargate out of VH-451, sparking a period of expansion which mostly benefits the Gallente

Due to Gallentes expansion they forced Caldari to join the Federation, later causing the Caldari to rebel and leave the Federation which started the conflict between Caldari and Gallente.

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Timeline

That's... DEFINITELY not the case here.

There weren't Dust soldiers/legionnaires and Valkyrie pilots back then.

This is precluding the first player-made stargates- and it uses the description from the Erebus, which was from the prophecies of Macaper (read The Seven Events of the Apocalypse) and you'll see even more of what I mean.

EDIT: I hadn't realized that others had already corrected youUgh

This looks like Mordu's Legion stargate.

Look on 0:58, mark on helmet this is logo of Mordu's Legion.

They use Caldari and Minmatar ships becasue they are mercenary.

That's not Mordu's Legion. It's the Valkyrie woman's group.

And they're Gallente/Caldari- did you even watch the keynote?

Looks absolute amazing.... ahhh what game is this ? cause its not EVE

Eve fleet battles look like this.

http://youtu.be/fz3vFs7WY5U?t=2m11s

Still epic but nothing like the game visuals that CCP shows.

MSG for CCP. new people see the fancy visuals.. they get excited and try EVE and then are like WTF ! this is not what I was led to believe.... all they see is spreadsheets, com windows and purple / red boxes...

Instead of blatantly misrepresenting the game visual you can actually have a functional game with ... how about CCP develops some different UI options.. So people can lose some of the UI (if they choose) and see the nice visuals underneath all the boxes...


Suggestions

- Toggle targeting circles on/off
- Toggle ship cross/flag when ships targeted/selected on/off.
- Get rid of the cap/shield/armor/module UI and make it minimalist.. It looks something designed in the 1950s not a cutting edge spaceship game.
- Remove the border/ selected column shading from the overview window. This could be removed in all windows.

Final suggestion
- make the ships bigger and ranges smaller so we can actually fight like the trailer shows.. be awesome to be in a frig and close orbit a huge battleship.
- Fleet formations with advantages/ disadvantages per formation.

1.) The trailer was AWESOME. Good work, CCP.

2.) My interpretation of what happened in the trailer was as follows:

The Amarr saw the capsuleers' construction of a stargate as a threat on several levels. For one, it dovetails nicely with the Prophecy of Macapar. Needless to say, they Amarrians aren't particularly interested in allowing the apocalypse to happen. Second, now that the capsuleers can build their own stargates, there's very little they need to depend on the empires for. The knowledge of how to construct stargates was one of the few remaining edges the empires had over the capsuleer alliances, and now that's been lost.

@helana

about the ship sizes- they only look that way because of camera perspective.

Turn on advanced camera settings, hold Ctrl, then drag the mouse across the screen with both sides held down- it changes the perspective to the real level if you want, but it makes things look bad in some situations, too.

Damn! Just watched it...several times over and over. You guys have really put together a trailer that makes the Dominion trailer (my personal all-time favorite) run for cover. My hat is off, as I bow to the CCP Gods.

Also, those warp effects Big smile ...now, we're cooking.

slightly off topic, but only just. The prophecy in the trailer is from this chronicle, The Prophecy of Macaper Chronicle something i found interesting, is this line: the sixth is described as “what was many now becomes one when one becomes four” during the ccp presents keynote, Tofi mentioned that the Valkyrie have new cloning tech, that will allow then to move there consciousness into four different host (games i assume) EvE being 1, Valk being 2, Legion being 3, and something unknown being 4 is my guess. But that seems a bit coincidental if you ask me, that we are going to play 4 games form one (if i understood that right) and the proph says the sixth is described as “what was many now becomes one when one becomes four”

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

While these trailers are awesome, like usual, I can't help but think they actually hurt EVE's new player retention. EVE players link these videos to their non-EVE friends, their friends think "Whoa, that looks awesome, I'mma try it", and what they get is...nothing even remotely close to the trailers. Basically, it causes people to come in with extreme expectations, which makes the reality that much worse.
