There might be some more info tomorrow, but what’s the consensus on the upcoming military campaigns? They sound like enhanced Freelance projects - just not sure how they’re going to be generated, ie: system-generated or with some player influence. ---

I’m for it. It would be great to actually work for the Empires. I suspect that the freelance framework is just a catalogue of things players can pick and choose from to further the goals of the “Big Four”. ---

Consensus based on what? A couple of vague marketing PowerPoint slides? ---

Wasn’t there a specific keynote on it today? ---

Yes, there was. This post was before it was aired and it looks like I was mostly right in my guess. ---

Depends, does it require you to enroll in a specific group and are there any downsides, if there aren’t these requirements it will just likely be caldari winning as most people live in caldari space It also depends what these big changes are, i’m not guessing they will really amount to a great deal so probably not be worth it for anyone who isn’t in to the RP side of EV, and if they are happy thats fine it keeps them out of my way ---

They’ve been speaking quite a lot about how Exordium and the new empire epic arcs will push to educate players about the empires so they can choose which to support, so chances are you won’t have to enroll for a specific empire. But yeah, unless they do something horrible to Jita, most players probably will be signing up for the Caldari, with Amarr in second place. ---

Caldari for the win! I guess Military Campaigns (aka: Glorified Freelance jobs) could enhance existing L4 missions by tagging on more bonuses. So still incredibly boring - but maybe there will be some ongoing perks and rewards. Plus the coveted “Care Bear” title… ---
