Not sure if anyone played the old Wing Commander series or anything else but I figured since we all play a spaceship game you guys might be interested in this one.

Yeah probably should have posted more content. The full 11 min video on the site was really good though. So I figured people were going to watch that when they went to the site.

That's the donation page and there's an FAQ at the bottom plus it has lots of other explanations of things. May help answer your questions. From what I've gathered so far on my own. It'll have a single player campaign that you can choose to do, which will be like military service in the Roman empire. It'll grant you Citizenship and sort of a head start on money. It sounds like you won't have to do that if you don't want and could just start into the open game world immediately. The open game world is where you'd be able to play with friends and would be held on their own servers. This is how I interpreted that donation page anyways.

Oh that's quite a cool idea really. It rewards you for putting more time into the single player, making it more exciting for players.

According to Jester it's because of the patch tomorrow will make t5 pushes much more difficult, or downright impossible to do. I don't know if his analysis is correct or not but maybe enough people belive so to make it happen.
So i dreamt Eve again last night while a sleeping in my bed. This time we were all doing faction warfare in carriers, i was in a nidhogger and captain Kwark raised the cry he had been attacked by a gang of ruffians in dreadnoughts, we all rallied and were all actually flying the ships. I remember karah even had a russian star on his ship. Was dead exciting. I got killed and lost my ship, i was stood naked in a golden pod with a ruffian holding point, someone paid my ransom. Thought id share. The end

Time for some ~classical freudian psychoanalysis~ with Dr. Aeth~~~
So i dreamt Eve
You are not satisfied with your life. You immerse yourself in a virtual world to escape from the society and state of affairs with which you are disgusted.
This time we were all doing faction warfare in carriers
In the real world money, power, status, fame; these things all elude you. In eve? You roxxors. Nice carrier bro.
i was in a nidhogger
You skipped Norse mythology classes in high school. Possibly English as well.
captain Kwark raised the cry
You view Kwark as a leader, as an authority figure, and you draw parallels between him and those which inhabit your actual world. You subconsciously want not to see him shouting a rallying cry, but to see him in the fetal position, shedding tears like a babe. Not going to happen. That guy is a cold-blooded dick~
I remember karah even had a russian star on his ship
This is probably actually a message from GOD. Karah is the evil communist anti-christ and is coming to destroy America. You've been warned.
I got killed and lost my ship, i was stood naked in a golden pod with a ruffian holding point, someone paid my ransom.
You are on the edge. As close as you can possibly get to the point of no return. You are in your pod. And, in this fantasy of yours, by whose hand do you elude death? Not by your own, but by some unseen, unmentioned member of the mighty Hatchery. We cannot save you, friend. As much as we would like to. You must save yourself. Take action!
The market has been seeded with infantry equipment however current trade restrictions prohibit the sale of such items to capsuleers.
Planetary Districts
New locations called "Districts" have been added to temperate planets in high security and factional warfare systems and are visible from space. Districts can be warped to via the planet context menu. A district satellite is visible while in orbit above a district in space. District satellites will appear globally on the overview while there is a ship on grid with it, including cloaked ships. A new group is available in the overview settings called Satellites, which can be used to show / hide them from your overview.
Factional Warfare
Planetary districts are future DUST514 battle zones, and impact Factional Warfare System Capture Status in a solar system. Each district owned by a particular Factional Warfare faction affects the number of Victory Points needed to move a Factional Warfare system into a vulnerable state. If a district owner is the same faction than the one controlling the Factional Warfare system, the number of Victory Points needed to put the solar system into vulnerable mode is increased If a district owner is the opposing faction than the one controlling the Factional Warfare system, the number of Victory Points needed to put the solar system into vulnerable mode is decreased Each temperate planet in Factional Warfare space contributes by 12.5% to the System Capture Status Victory Point pool, for a maximum of 50% Victory Points in Factional Warfare solar systems with four temperate planets. Until DUST514 is fully implemented on Tranquility, planetary districts have been set to belong to the NPC faction that traditionally owned the Factional Warfare solar system before players interference. An icon has been added below the System Capture Status bar to represent this new information.
Example
Raa is a 0.3 solar system located in Factional Warfare space. Raa has 3 temperate planets, each having a certain number of districts. Each planet affects the System Capture Status by 12.5%, for a total of 37.5%. Districts have been set to the NPC faction that historically and traditionally owned the solar system before player interference, in this case the Amarr Empire. With such changes, it means the system will require 37.5% more Victory Points to capture if owned by the Amarr Empire FW militia, or 37.5% less Victory Points to capture if owned by the Minmatar Republic militia. This change may move a FW solar system in or out of a vulnerable state after the patch depending on how many temperate planets are present during deployment time.
