ISSUE #004: Military campaigns
The empires of New Eden’s core, after more than a century since the rise of the Capsuleers’ generation, allowed the constant assistance from them to complete their political, military and economical ambitions even out of the CEMWPA systems and for longer-term outcomes. This opened big opportunities for investors and adventureers to directly participate to the Big-4 political interests without being part of a militia and indirectly feed the machine war only. “Philanthropy” is Monitoring which of the campaigns could be prioritary to support, considering a ratio between benefits and profit.
For this period, the priorities are the following:
- Gallente Federation
- Minmatar Republic
- Amarr Empire
- Caldari State
1st: Gallente Federation
The new president is pushing to “correct” the big error of the Gallente drone technology. If they succeed, Rouge Drones threats could be solved easier than before and new findings can be exploited for the drone field as they’re promising a new version of the excavator drone that even the ORE is having interests about developing it. Furthermore, new secure gates are planned to build, shortening the travel from the market hub to Intaki; this is obviously done for military strategy but a shortcut is a shortcut: trades will flow more rapidly.
2nd: Minmatar Republic
Their mission is for cultural purpose but there’s a critical outcome that could benefit the involved region if not all New Eden: The Starkmanir Tribe are promising to conduct researches about Phased Fields that can be reachable in high-security space. This means allowing new resources, that are mainly in Low and Null security systems, being more accessible to the people of the cluster and this will grant more stocks in the market and lower prices in the region and more.
3rd: Amarr Empire
The mission to jump-start the Amarr economy will improve their competition against the other markets and this will promote economical flow between them and around the region. Unfortunately their economists will estimate that this improvement will have effect for maximum six months in the best case, less than one year. However, this initiative have not to be underestimated and their effects could escalate in some new opportunity for investors. If you’re far from Jita, it’s recommended to follow their requests.
4th: Caldari State
Whatever the outcome of the Caldari-Syndicate crisis will be, we’re assisting at the end of a long-existed political faction. Caldari occupation on null-sec systems could give more opportunities to increase security status to some of them, like happened with the Gallente in Intaki (despite this would depend on CONCORD, so they should agree with them), but there’s no guarantees for now. The only interesting opportunity of favouring the Caldari is the construction of a new gate; it’s a shortcut but between low-sec and null-sec systems (repeating: the theory is their security status could be improved later but there are no further plans on them yet). This campaign looks the less likely to follow but you’re not forbidden to contribute it.
