With the new patch today the Infantry Gear has been seeded to Empire Markets, of note are the naming convetnions applied to some of the items and their small cover note of backstory:

Items like the Prototype 'Relic' Assault vk.0 Dropsuit having the following
Quote:
The Siege of Tikraul is a stain on our history. An avoidable tragedy made worse by the apathy of every generation born hence. Rather than honor the fallen, most would rather pretend it never happened. They would have you forget. I will not. I wear their colors in remembrance, in deference and in defiance. Coated in the blood of my enemy, they will enjoy, in death, the victory denied them in life.


The 'Anasoma' Heavy series carries the following:
Quote:
For anyone who grew up hearing the tales of the warrior Anasoma, this suit is the embodiment of their childhood nightmares. The story tells of how the fearless Anasoma was betrayed and captured. Before killing him, his torturers melted his famous battle armor to his flesh. It is said that he now roams the battlefields of New Eden searching for his betrayers.


The 'Colossus' has:
Quote:
The Colossus was part of a hijacked shipment that has since found its way onto the open market. The Angel Cartel has made it known that it will hunt down those responsible and recover every last unit that was part of that shipment. Those brave enough to wear this suit do so knowing that it's only a matter of time..


Amongst many others.


Alongside the Jovian Fusion Powerplant.

Hopefully the NDA drops soon and it can get really heavy..Blink

Anasoma Ana; Greek for apart, seperate from, Soma; the drink of the Gods in Zoroastrian and Vedic myth.. Akin to Ambrosia in the Greek tradition..

Quote:
We have drunk Soma and become immortal; we have attained the light, the Gods discovered. Now what may foeman's malice do to harm us? What, O Immortal, mortal man's deception?


In the Greek, Soma is "the body"..

Regarding the Siege of Tikraul..

And the Collosus;

Quote:
To you, o Sun, the people of Dorian Rhodes set up this bronze statue reaching to Olympus, when they had pacified the waves of war and crowned their city with the spoils taken from the enemy. Not only over the seas but also on land did they kindle the lovely torch of freedom and independence. For to the descendants of Herakles belongs dominion over sea and land.


One has to wonder, were the Udorians a "people from Tau Ceti"? And what were they preaching that upset the static Amarr society so much as to spur on the Reclaiming?

Quote:
U, V or Y- and the letter which spreads out into Pythagorean branches has pointed out to you the steep path which rises on the right. The path of Virtue.


Quote:
Ka- as a prefix it carries the connotation of "like" or "as"..


Dorians

That hasn't got the 'Locked' symbol over it, so I'd assume its fanon and not canon.

Ya, but, where did the inspiration come from, if so? Someone seems to have a really good grasp of history. One much better than my own.. I'd never heard of the Siege.. If you had, I'd love for you to expand upon it.. Tikraul in RL is a village in India.. It's reference in Dust 514 is also telling...

ISD Salpsan. Care to elaborate a bit?

Anyone notice chat channels now have a little icon in the top-right that says, "Capsuleers in channel" and "Infantry in channel?"

How are infantry going to communicate in channels without Keyboards?

A USB Keyboard plugs directly into the gamepad ports, works great...

Keyboard\Mouse as controllers leave alot to be desired, though.. Gamepad is superior..Cry

I laughed when someone pointed out the Quafe promotional drop suits.

Since I had written a silly story a while back, involving a Quafe agent, who had such things as the Quafe promotional combat armour, the Quafe promotional assault rifle and so on.

So a toon that can wright dev level story's that the devs then take parts from.

Humm i think the ghosts of devs past is still working on his baby.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.
