VS overreact as always. :D

[Sentrosi]

NC and TR getting the same broadcast too? Who's spying on who?

[LiveWireTehSoda]

Information Ops is performing routine maintenance on Conglomerate Lattice nodes. During this time, orbital personnel will be relieved of duty and transmissions stations operated by the Security Alliance. Due to the sensitive nature of this maintenance, any persons attempting to gain access to network and Lattice hardware will be considered enemies of the Conglomerate. All troops are advised not to transmit sensitive Empire intelligence through the Lattice networks until further notice.

thats the nc one

[ChronoSphere]

The dirty Vanu are always starting stuff :)

[HawkEye]

i dont under stand the post made by the commands in the nc, vs, and TR on the offilcial forums. wtf does it mean? :confused: :confused:

Oops

[DeepStrikeck]

That spork is going to use the meteor gun of doom

[NeoPhoenixTE]

We're screwed

[Phaden]

Perhaps the other set of BI we have heard about for while?

[Black]

Lattice links changing?

[Lartnev]

Sounds like merit commendations to me.

Remember how the fiction for cavern base capture CEP and BEP was written as the result of lattice communications upgrades? Could be the same for merit commendations.

I don't think base redesigns are finished yet but it's possible.

"During this time, orbital personnel will be relieved of duty"

Sounds to me like they are stopping the HART...

[Red October]

Christmas Tree's or Turkeys.

[hazzer2007]

so, what do this all mean, down time??? when then?

[Lartnev]

"During this time, orbital personnel will be relieved of duty"

Sounds to me like they are stopping the HART...

a)That was only mentioned in the NC part
b)It'd stop more than just the HART. Orbital strikes, EMP blasts, inter-continental communication.
c)The general message is to do with the lattice links. Lots of things are to do with these so it could be anything if you want to take the messages literally.

At least I tried
:D

[kcirreda]

My guess is Base links will change somehow, Merits, or BFR nerf

[kcirreda]

Oh! remember when some dev (mighta been smoke or spork) said something about new base facilities?! Cross fingers for new bases!

[internetn]

OMG!!!.... Double post... J/K

Hmm.. Maybe that means the aruxis(I'm havin a hard day) system is just gonna blow up or something... Hehe that would be cool, but before I get flamed I KNOW THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN

[6thEdition]

I think it's Continent/Base links changing maybe.

[Visk]

Lattice changes and something about the hart is all i can deduce

[MrPaul]

b)It'd stop more than just the HART. Orbital strikes, EMP blasts, inter-continental communication.

Would it affect EMP blasts? I thought the CUD itself emmitted them..

I'm gonna go with Merit Commendations being the new thang.

sorry duo too many people rely on the HART for transport :-p <3

[Firegod1a]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wtf is goen on!!!!!!!!1

[StrangeFellow]

sorry duo too many people rely on the HART for transport :-p <3
but the HART puts you on the orbatal platforms no use of them means to HART, sounds to me like the devs are planing somthing colosus again (ie bending)

[duomaxwl]

yeah, the HART...goes byebye....

[Shadowblade1114]

the hart never made much sense , since you no longer are on 1 planet, only thing i can think of is that the hart goes to the center of the auraxis galaxy and just shoots you out like a rocket to the chosen planet. oh and the orbital strikes got same issue, no longer on same continent, only other thing i can think of is in the bending , the orbital stations became duplicated, but then.....where the people on it cloned???? lol i would like to see the devs explain this.

This makes the most sense out of all of the theories. My money goes right here.

the hart idea i think is true, as for the OS, the empires could have lanched extra stations over the new planets.

Hart wont go, might be a change like the timer and the design and the way it works.

But when will all this happen???

[Warborn]

Seems pretty obvious now. Maybe the lattice will change, but it looks as if any Empire will be able to acquire any weapon, regardless of the affilitation of that weapon.

[Reija]

Read the NC one again - they're taking the locks off of empire-specific weaponry. This backs it all up

NC hackers?
VS having to consecrate nanites so they won't be poisoned by NC weapons of war?

Completely just stepped on your post, apologies.

[Warborn]

Completely just stepped on your post, apologies.

Quoting the post you're "stepping on" might help.

[kcirreda]

If you read the NC 1 alone, it sounds like there will be a fifth empire that would be NPC only fighting for the vanu (not to be confused with VS). Because the NC seen himself. Dont U think its possible the the clones (PS avatars) after respawning could go wild or something? The Auraxian natives are pissed at our foolish actions and they might do something about it. Anyway, lets think of something or get a rumor started. Sounds fun tho!

1 lasher... 2 lasher... 3 lasher... 4 lasher... 5 lasher........ Buncha lasher in my locker

[EarlyDawn]

Defenitely two messages being communicated here. We've already established that there will be cross-empire weapon and possibly vehicle production.

Spork, however, says that only those "who win" will be able to use enemy equipment. Obviously a minigame/contest of some sort. I believe I remember seeing one of the Devs mention it was a modified version of the monolith event.

My theory is that Monoliths are going to pop up, each containing access to a certain weapon, or possibly vehicle. Each module will have a certain viable time before it deconstructs. Capture will probably work along the same lines: Control the Capitol.

For example, when a Jackhammer module spawns on Hossin and knocks the continent neutral, the NC will will to either secure it and let it expire, or capture it themselves, ending the sequence early. Alternately, they'll want to capture a TR MCG or VS Lasher mod.

[Hyncharas]

This could always be the news a number of us have been waiting for, after all, Auraxis isn't our world.

THEY are coming, and since the Bending... there is now nowhere left for us to run!
