The general shape of the Enforcer, especially the asymmetry, the "wings" at the back, and the long, jutting part alongside the main hull section, actually make it look a lot more like a stripped-down, modified, and of course cruiser-sized version of the Atron frame (or possibly a more heavily modified Thorax), not the Vexor. That's my 2 cents at least.


And FYI both duct tape and duck tape are accepted terms, but I think duck tape is a pretty US-specifc name for it.

As silly as this sounds could one assume those technologies used on the ships as stated by CCP Falcon are also used on terrestrial vehicles as well like tanks? We don't have em in Dust but that doesn't mean I don't like to talk about them.

I take it this means that there is tech beyond the scope of access from a capsuleer's point of view and that, whilst it may appear the market is 'free' it's heavily regulated in terms of what tech is available to commercial entities?

I have read that most ships/items were in use before being sold to capsuleers from the faction corps (who are military contractors)

That's not necessarily the case. Manufacturers might tend to have a policy of not selling individual components to end users and certainly not to competitor businesses for use in their products. Companies with that sort of mercantilist mindset would not at all be out of place in New Eden. Integration of starship parts from multiple companies, especially across national lines, is a rare event. The only major projects where such cooperation happened that I can think of are the CONCORD fleet and the SoE ships, obviously very special cases.

Yeah, basically Capsuleers were the Jove solution to limiting empire's powers so they coudlnt threaten their empire, after all, you give a group powers they arent ready for yet, inevitably there will be a collapse and civil war.

Concord is the empire/joves response to capsuleers so that for the empires, they dont lose their power completely to the capsuleers, and for the jove, so the capsuleers do not become too powerful, run out of targets, and begin looking at the jove as a Rome to pillage and burn

so absically Concord is the third party in this interplanetary game of paper-rock-scissors to ensure the status-quo of infighting empires and Jove dominance, all the while no one realizes the Enhuadani (however its spelled) and their allies are getting ready to pull a Reapers ala Mass Effect and remove the Jove from the equation completey, and likely a good chunk of the empire's aswell.

but that last paragraph is purely speculation, sicne at this point the state of the Jove empire, as well as the other ancient races, is fairly non-clarified. Aside from the circadians coming into k-space, theres no indication the other empires still exist at all.


Actually, don't know if I'm late to the discussion, but CONCORD was founded long before Capsuleers.

We are Toralen Industries. It doesn't matter if you fight for money, idealogies, or because it's what you are good at and it doesn't matter if you fight threw trade, combat, or diplomacy. No matter what or how you fight, there's a place for you.
