Hallo CCP is awfully quiet on the blackout, how about releasing some stats on it? Results will be interesting I think ---

I hope it lasts forever. And maybe they’ll employ some of the Citadel mechanics they have in the DB to let residents bring it back. But overall, Intel should be gathered in person, not given automatically by the game. ---

Actually if you click on one of the 20 Factions listed in the Character Sheet - Interactions tab - and open it’s info window to look on their standings tab you can see Rogue Drones, Drifters and Triglavian’s are also listed. CCP just hasn’t activated the standings mechanic with them. ---

They sacrificed their lives for the game. That’s what made her rise up big at times. As a small light I will be able to change little and see no sense in taking their place. I’ll keep it under observation and act on it. ---

Well I wish you the best. But if you think they worked to be where they are, I think you need to think about how it works. Does your boss do more work than you? Anyway: as a “small light” you can adapt to changing circumstances far faster. Just remember that. ---

I bet the same people in here creaming over each other about how much 31337 PvP they are going to get would be quite upset that “their” free intel was tampered with.
