The Amarr Navy wasn't shooting at me.

Also, immersion breaking if.

"I need to help the drifters kill me to know if I can help my allies"

Note the start date for the original post though. This was back when the drifter incursion and AI kinda became available.

My understanding of lore is pretty limited. Don't care much about it. But from what I tell from your raving is that you think the Amarr empire is suddenly allied with capsuleers. So as RP-ing with an ally, you would expect them to share Intel with you.

I don't think that's the case. Just because we have a common enemy doesn't mean we are allies in any organized way. I seem to remember the Empires sort of tolerating capsuleers, not really liking them. The Amarr in particular have religious objections to the capsule/clone thing. I think it's a pretty wild leap of lore to insist that CCP as a company share direct intel based on that leap.

But maybe I'm wrong, and there have been some lore developments that imply this.

So what. You still sound like a whiny, insolent brat. Shut up already and play the game. Figure some things out for yourself instead of throwing a temper tantrum. Good grief.

I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon

I was going to agree with your lore statement, but instead I am just going to imply comments that would violate the EULA. I have no idea how a comment could go from logic to complete trademark "Scum of EVE" player so fast. I cannot even gather the basis of the statement. I am playing, and when the even was starting, we were working on tactics. As such, it is a question of a simple game mechanic. Go play solitare or hang out in some back alley tagging walls cause those are the communities you seem to prefer to be a part of.

It was a game mechanics question that is near impossible to quantify. In game, it means considerable time and isk investment, tracking and comparing out of game to figure out if it is working and the amarr not giving us a reply. CCP could come on and say "We of the amarr navy do not work with capsuleer heathens" Is just as good as "Amarr navy thanks and makes use of your support"

To counter your roleplay debate however, the amarr used to distance themselves, but now they are letting capsuleers fight to choose who will be the next emperor of Amarr. Plus they have mission agents. So yeah, from a roleplay perspective, fighting along side and taking advantage of tactical support is kind of a no brainer if the drifter incursions were enabled still.
