Wow, did you guys see the trailer?

That was some pretty intense stuff.

From what I have heard, the new expansion contains stuff like

- Factional Militias: The NPC factions are encouraged to recruit pilots to gain membership into their channels and mailing list.

But this poses a problem. What if someone had an alt with the opposing faction, won’t they be able to infiltrate their communications base then?

- Ranks: Titles that are handed out to the people who support their faction.

- Factional Warfare Agents: New agents for the more daring people, who will be assigned missions that are inside enemy territories.

- Statistics: Pilots will have stats on how their doing in their fight against their opposing faction.

- System Occupancy: Factions can gain occupancy of a system by winning conflicts in complexes. Then they can attack a enemy bunker withing 24 hours and the system’s sovereignty changes over to the winning team.

So one day when you log off in a war-sanctioned system, when you log back on and the sovereignty changes, you might be blown to smithereens. That sucks.

- Combat Zones: Carebears warning! You can get killed in high level space! Watch out!

- Factional Warfare Complexes: More plexes, but they are determine your faction benefits. Oh by the way, MWD can be used again!

- World Shaping: Black Rise is ready and open! 49 new systems and 40 stations!
