"Scope data recorder salvaged, images recovered

Yulai - An independent pilot has located the wreck of The Scope's on-site media shuttle and recovered the data recorder from the wreckage. While the video feed seems to be corrupt, the camera logs are largely intact and we are streaming data from them now.

Images assembled from the data show the horrific battle unfolding with the CONCORD fleet massing on the Minmatar-Thukker invaders attempting to repulse their savage attack on the CONCORD Bureau station. Suddenly a huge cynosural field opens up in system and the view is filled by the enormous bulk of what can only be a Ragnarok-class Titan.

As the joint Minmatar forces began streaming towards Ragnarok, including lifepods from the capital-class vessels, CONCORD realigns their firepower and begins hammering at the Ragnaroks immesurable bulk. Moments later the area around the Titan flares with thousand of incandescent missiles spreading over the battlefield. The feed abruptly terminates at this point.

If I can see a titan and fly past it without having to go all the way to 0.0 I'll be a happy man. I'm DYING to see anything bigger than a Charon. Probably will die but it'll be worth it. Maybe take a few pirates down with me

well..i dun mind the jita system meltdown...but i want some palace to sell my salvage mat at high price

Reply to dan post:

dan is our shield we put him in front make every think we gallente militia mwahhaha then backstab all of them including dan just for the hell of it

Jita is in the Forge region. It's two jumps from Citadel (New Caldari --> Alikara) and one jump from Lonetrek (--> Sobaseki), and I think it's also two jumps away from that lowsec place beside Perimeter. Like you say, if it's not in Citadel maybe it's all backstory while we're away. Would be nice if we come back tomorrow morning and lots of wrecks for us to salvage

Added on June 10, 2008, 10:44 pm"Opportunistic Vultures" cleared from battle sites

Sahtogas – As the Amarr Navy attempts to rally their forces and regain some co-ordination, reports are coming in of marauding salvagers picking over the broken remains of the Amarr and Minmatar ships at battle sites that have now fallen silent.

Amarrian reaction forces arriving at the scene, too late to make a difference, have begun to clear the area of these scavengers. Paladin Major Verinus in charge of one such task force making their way to the front lines gave a brief comment to reporters on the scene over the system wide frequency via his ship’s communications system stating angrily that the salvagers were "nothing more than opportunistic vultures, picking over the remains of our fallen friends." Soon after clearing the scene his fleet departed the area, leaving a small number of ships behind at the graveyards.


Dammit, maybe not.

BREAKING NEWS: CALDARI NAVY TASK FORCE CROSSES FEDERATION BORDER, INVADES GALLENTE SPACE

ALGOGILLE - *** This is a breaking news story *** A Caldari Navy task force has just crossed the Federation border in what is unmistakably a large-scale invasion of Gallente space. Numerous Federation Customs patrol ships have already been destroyed as Caldari ships continue to stream across using the Kassigainen stargate and at least two jump portals. This is a breaking news story that we will continue to update as information becomes available.

Posted 14:27 GMT


OMG !!!!!! DAMN CALDARIAN !!!!!

About time the Caldari started doing something. The Gallente and Minmatar have been doing all the attacking so far - it makes them look like the instigators of the war. All 4 factions need to look equal so that people can choose sides and all feel justified. Otherwise Amarr/Caldari = good guys, Gallente/Minmatar & Thukker = bad guys.

dammit about time too woot woot

yay! go caldari!

oh noes wth caldari gone bonkers liao

BREAKING NEWS: CALDARI NAVY BOMBARDS CALDARI PRIME, DROPSHIPS LAND ON SURFACE

CALDARI PRIME – The Caldari Navy-led task force that has locked itself inside the Luminaire System is reportedly landing "hundreds of thousands" of dropships onto Caldari Prime following a systematic orbital bombardment of strategic defense emplacements all over the planet. The task force has achieved absolute space superiority in the system, as all Federation Navy and Customs warships inside the system have evidently been neutralized. However, despite its complete vulnerability, Gallente Prime is reporting clear space in its vicinity, with absolutely no sign of the invaders at this time.

Military analysts consulted by Scope News have stated that the Caldari Navy appears to have committed "every resource at their disposal" to this colossal endeavor, and as such has left its rearguard flanks completely exposed to Federation counterattack.

It's a trap!!!!

Be cool if we could fight to liberate Caldari Prime. CCP are supposed to give us updates to satisfy us during downtime, not make us more and more eager to log on! =P

By the way, what ships are those which invaded Yulai in the 2nd teaser trailer - the huge ones which stand vertical? The look very very awesome, and the Tempest looks so small beside it.

those are their dreads Nalfgars i think .. any1 can confirm?

lol dan i smell a rat

BREAKING NEWS: FOIRITAN ORDERS FEDERATION NAVY TO STAND DOWN

LADISTIER - *** This is a breaking news story *** Scope News has learned that President Souro Foiritan has ordered the Federation Navy to call off its attack on Tierijev and issued a general order to “cease all hostile actions against the Caldari Navy”. This shocking revelation is believed to have been issued following a direct conversation with Caldari dictator Tibus Heth. This is a breaking news story that we will continue to update as information becomes available.

its minnie dread if not mistaken...and look at those 1400mm mount on its side....WOW !!! I LOVE IT

Yeah, those ships are magnificent. I'm going to die if I have to train for Minnie ships as well, though, already half-half Caldari/Gallente already. Any my other main character is half-half Caldari/Amarr. But that ship looks so so awesome - normally it can't enter Empire space, can it?

Maybe need 3rd account

Capitals are not allow to enter empire space except freighter.

Maybe that's why I'm so impressed when I see them.. like a tongsanlou in a city. There's something about how they all stand tall in a straight line that makes them look so awesome, like the Oliphaunts in Lord of the Rings.

I think I'll really have to visit lowsec and 0.0 more often now.
