Kador/EoM connection?

One can't help but notice that the new Kador Family paint scheme ships have the same colors as the EoM ships. Is this a hint that lore wise we might see more of the EoM show up besides their Gone Berserk missions? Is there a connection there to be discovered? Perhaps the EoM is secretly being funded by the Kador Family or are a rogue aspect of it?

More importantly, will we see a new pirate faction come into play? It would be sort of cool if a section of null sec space adjacent to Kador became available controlled by EoM, and faction ships became available. Amarr looking shield ships with railguns? Nice!

Can we at least have some new content with EoM? Maybe some exploration sites?

Few people understand the psycology of a highway traffic cop. Your average speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

Doesn't change your quesiton, but I think you're mixing up Kador (an amarrian family) and the Khanid (a people who joined the amarrian empire very early on, before the amarrian ventured into space).

No, he means Kador - the ship skins they just had released do have a similar blueish shade to the EoM hulls we have ingame. However, I think it's a little early to be predicting EoM hulls ingame (much as I would love a hybrid-Amarr boat) or draw any direct connections to the Kador family. For one, EoM has been historically associated with the Ardishapur house, one of whose members was the founder of the Equilibrium.

Ok, my bad then. For my defense I must however say that the EoM and Khanid ship paintings are also similar :)

Remember, the very nature of the EoM ("all life in the cluster must die") tends to make for a lackluster amount of support from almost any power nameable. The only people backing that Order (at least to any current available knowledge) are people who are zealously embedded in their faith, and often times not even then.

A capsuleer corporation was once founded to support them. The EoM wanted nothing to do with them!

The idea of them growing on an interstellar level seems comprable to the Westboro Baptist Church suddenly conquering Texas.

But like all faith based groups, you're also going to have all sorts of division and schisms with almost unlimited variation. We haven't really been given a lot of detail of the specifics of the EoM faith, aside from the "all life must die" and that it has ties toe the Amarr religion, much like the Blood Raiders do. The thing about violent groups though, is that they may have backers, who may not share their ideals, but use them as an end to a means. The idea that they may be backed by one of the family houses to cause trouble for another may be closer to the truth. After all, it would be unlikely that such a "suicide cult" would be able to be organized to the level where it obviously manufactures battleships. The fact that they have a disposition for using hybrid type weaponry might point towards even them receiving perhaps covert Gallente support, Khanid support or even Caldari - especially given their preference for shield tanking. Lots of reasons why these would be.

So, you're associating two groups on the basis of the color of their ship's skins.

And they don't even use the same shades of colors. Or the same color balance. Or even the same pattern.

I'm surprised everyone forgot to mention their similarity with Quafe color schemes; surely, that's where their hybrid turret technology comes from!?!

Seriously, by that paralogism, Carthum should have close ties with the blood raiders...

Colors can mean different things for different people and in different contexts. A red and black flag does not have the same meaning for an anarchist as it does for a fascist.

The world is not, and should not be, always color-coded for your convenience.

Um, ok. If you feel that strongly about it. I just thought it was maybe something neat to talk about, something maybe far fetched but interesting. I guess you put me in my place. Congrats, you win the internet.
