A bit behind the curve, but what is this?

Okay, I appreciate I'm a bit behind the curve on this. This trailer is in no way new, except to me.


What on earth is it that the Caldari have built? Was this to do with a Chronicle or perhaps a release in the last year or so? I've only resubbed to EVE since about November 2014 so I'm assuming it's something I missed.


It looks pretty intense though. Did this end up being relevant to anything that has happened since? Can't tell if it's a superweapon or a stargate of some sort.

It's a capsuleer built structure, i would think it's something like an initial startup of a stargate happening there. ( the empires built theirs most likely without a large fight happening right at them. )

Ooohh, so is this video more of a feature of Capsuleers on yet another step to independence from the Empires?

That would explain that variety of ships in the Gate-supporting side. That is so cool.

"The prophecy is true. The heretics have constructed the gate."

"It must be destroyed."

I will do everything in my power to be there when they fire that thing up for the first time.

I would love it if it's a structure we can go and see soon, assuming it's not already.



I also think I took the word ''Heretics'' a bit too literally, knowing that the new Jovian/Sleeper ships have a 'Heretic' pilot.

... and the gate burst into life, disabling all nearby ships with the interference generated by the creation of the artificial wormhole contained within. What emerged from the gate shook those poor souls who had the nerve to be present straight to the core... scores of Bamboo Dreadnaughts.

The commander stood in awe on the bridge of his now disabled Command Ship. "What have we done?" he whispered.

"You've opened the door to the Pandaverse.." The cloaked figure who stood beside him answered. "You've damned us all...."

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Were it not for the fact we were already damned before the show started. Cool

I suggest that we have EVE Valk when that happens.

Wonder where it will take us! Capsuleers repairing old connections to systems? Or sending us to entirely new space?

i do believe the purpose isnt to have one big static structure players can go see, but for them to actually be things players must build themselves

and due to the immense size of that mofo, and knowing regional gates are MUCH larger than system gates, it very likely goes to a new cluster

I figured they'd be buildable. I just wondered if this one, from the trailer, was already in-game somewhere. Seems unlikely though, hehe

Also yeah, jeez that thing is gigantic, on a further viewing. There is no way this simply goes 'next door'.


Perhaps the idea is to fracture space entirely, and have a similar gameplay size system to ships. Small, Medium, Large, Capital, to send ships over different distances.

Could this be related somehow to Carolyne Star explosion or whatever happened over there?


Is this structure the Carolyne Star itself, all that field of debris, cloud that we see now?


I am sure this was probably crossed someones mind, but could it be?

It crossed my mind but I don't think so. The ignition of the gate is definitely powerful, pulling in Archons and wrecking them. But those Archons are very close. Most of the other ships are simply hit by an EMP of the gate going off for the first time.

The final shot, though surrounded by a gigantic debris field made of ships, shows the gate is apparently stable and running.

Nebula in the backgroud of the gate in the video does somehow resembles Malpais region.

It is very close to UUA-F4 Region where Star is pinpointed in the close vicinity of W477-P system.

It's possible then, I suppose. I'm excited to see what this is :D

Do we have any images from UUA-F4 Region, like images from the region itself?

I know there are some from Jove space but they dont look anything like from the Prophecy video.



Might asweel pack my things and go check Malpais, border systems of Kalevala Expanse and Perrigan Falls and see

how that looks like.

But I will never get the right point of view from those areas I am afraid.


Will post some nice images if I make there in one piece.

The way those Dust guys were deployed to board (a what was it?) ...

... when Dust was still coming out, I really had hopes that we could fly to a planet and zoom down, see the ants all scurrying about and then target a spot and blow them away.
I also wanted them to have to catch rides on our ships between planets and I could then eject them into space. Twisted

So many possibilities that we don't have! Cry

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

from what we have gleamed, which i got from various interviews, the gates will lead to new regions, that will have interesting game play. Not much more past that, i don;t think they will lead to jove, as jove area is a bit too small. But they will lead elsewhere. it could include jove however, but i'm thinking deeper.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Malpais Before Carolyne Star


After



To get somehow between and confirm that the nebula from Prophecy screen is Malpais, not possible.


Couldnt find spot to get this look like seen here.


Anyway here are a few screens I took doing 150 jumps, not that it wasnt seen before.
