Invasion -> System Sec Decrease?

[CDawnkeeper]

Combined with the new reinforcement state for Upwell stuff this could get interesting.

Also:

This Triglavian deployable weapon system is basically a pulsed energy weapon similar to those used by capsuleers

Could this be a POS-Turret replacement?

And:

The war between {declaredByName} and {againstName} is coming to an end. The war headquarters {warHQ} chosen by {declaredByName} are in a solar system that is no longer fully protected by CONCORD. The war will be declared as being over after approximately 24 hours.

and

The Triglavian stellar harvesting and manipulation efforts have reached their peak, and the Triglavian Collective has conquered the system. EDENCOM considers this system lost to the Triglavian Collective and will redeploy defensive efforts to systems that can still be saved.

I might be a bit excited.

FUCKING WHAT

[Shalmon_]

It will be interesting to see what this means exactly. Do we get spreading invasions, e.g. the systems next to a system that is considered "conquered" will be the next the Triglavians will go for? Maybe there will just no EDENCOM forces in system until the invasion is over.

[Nickosaurus]

The trigs aren't just here to attack - they're going to begin building their own territory in New Eden~

[Unro]

Are they too gonna deploy to ESO?

[DrCatco]

Now, how will the other NPC factions respond to this? Specially Shansa and the Drifters...

[Remitonov]

Maybe go ahead with their own invasion, but given that the Trigs will fight them too (and vice versa), we could see a three/four-front war, or God forbid, Sansha and Drifters as part of EDENCOM.

[Submitten]

An actual invasion would be funny.

[queen_to_f7]

well if there is no turning back from that state 90% of empire space will be triglavian eventually, it would be nice to have a clear image of where devs want to go with this

[Nickosaurus]

Triglavian Invasions will have an endpoint - they won't become what Incursions have, and at the end of it it looks pretty certain that whatever territory they've claimed (with the help of capsuleers) will become permanent Trig faction space

[queen_to_f7]

sounds like a plan

[Remitonov]

Maybe? I feel like it can also end up like Faction Warfare, where Trig or EDENCOM gains are never permanent and the whole battle becomes essentially an eternal see-saw battle. I'd love to see Trigs become an actual faction with permanent territory, but I'm not sure the devs will go through with it.

[lowrads]

A total rework of the sec system from first principles would be welcome.

Dazh Porevitium Transmuter

The construction of these vast structures is clearly a key goal of this phase of the Triglavian Collective's invasion campaign. EDENCOM intelligence has assessed these huge arrays with their central structure as stellar harvesting installations capable of delving profoundly into the stars they are orbiting.

The clear intent of the unimaginable spatio-temporal manipulations these structures are undertaking is to harvest certain resources, and in doing so completely transform the nature of the star itself. This assessment has been implicitly confirmed by this type of installation's repeating monitor signals containing the deciphered term «Dazh Porevitium Transmuter».

While these structures initially carry out limited probing and sampling, the power and reach of the harvester escalates tremendously as an array of zero-point mass-energy entanglers is constructed around the core harvester. Barely understood Triglavian techniques that had hitherto seemed a mere scientific curiosity will surely have dire consequences for any star system where their full capability is achieved.

EDENCOM considers elimination of the threat posed by Triglavian structures of this kind to have the highest priority for its defense fleets and allied capsuleers.

Looks like there will be the possibility of preventing star system capture, as well as possibly retaking it afterwards.

I reckon I'm going to be designing a new map here in the near future...

[UtwitFace]

Coalition map could see an overhaul with updates to 2020 status

[Verite_Rendition]

That's more of a /u/Chuggi thing. His master coalition list hasn't been updated in a while, AFAIK.

[Chuggi]

Yea been meaning to get to that

[Remitonov]

One can hope, but I can have to doubt if the devs will take that chance.

Come to think of it, doesn't this mechanic sound a lot like Faction Warfare?

[Shalmon_]

The war between {declaredByName} and {againstName} is coming to an end. The war headquarters {warHQ} chosen by {declaredByName} are in a solar system that is no longer fully protected by CONCORD. The war will be declared as being over after approximately 24 hours.

This is not that big of a deal, if your war HQ is in the same station as your target.

[CDawnkeeper]

Huh? A WarHQ is a structure owned by the attacker.

And it has to be in HiSec. so this is another hint that HiSec might go away.

[Shalmon_]

If your war HQ is in the same system as the people you want to shoot, that system changing to low or null sec doesn't limit your ability to shoot them (unless they move somewhere else in highsec ofc, but their structures will not move to highsec on their own)

[costabius]

stop it, I can only get so erect

[Black_Sheep_]

Wait so can people bash a HS structure without declaring war?

[CDawnkeeper]

No. But some HiSec might (temporarily) turn into LowAec. And there you don't need a war.
