Whats the Play CCP? Are we going to cut the map?
*I am wondering if CCP is going to push towards cutting the Western Side of the map...or having a fight between both Gallente Federation and Caldari State over ORE (Outer Ring) for resources. This makes me suspicious CCP might be testing the waters for either larger FW or maybe potentially expanding the game map...region wise. They have shown Exordium can be added...so why wouldn't be possible to expand it further.*
The reason why this suspicion is kind of based on the last few events. **Especially with the constant involvement of the Consortium and Evermore. Also the resource base of ORE in the Outer Ring region is a prize for either the Gallente Federation or Caldari State should not ignore at any point.** ***Also with the Syndicate taken over, that means ORE would fall under the Caldari State. Which would be a Strategic Threat the Gallente Federation can not ignore.***
However, there is a concern here...**Caldari State does not have Star Gates connecting its territory, so logistics in this region is going to be highly tenious until Star Gate Links are connected**.
However the Gallente Federation should be very concerned because **Syndicate space also surrounds its narrow Star Gate network supporting Solitude.** Allowing the Caldari State to threaten this narrow isthmus. So a rapid counter attack, or immediate connection of multiple star gates to the region to alleviate the bottleneck should be considered. Also Syndicate allows the Caldari State to potentially create trade routes directly to Amarr in the Genesis Region. *Unknown if they will allocate resources to building gates to link this gap between their territory and potential ally against the Gallente Federation.*
***For the Capsuleers of Nullsec.*** This should be an alarming development. For the Empires are directly threatening to cut off a very narrow link between **Cloud Ring and Fountain**. And the Caldari States interference with this area of Nullsec space should be considered an aggression against the common good of the Nullsec Capsuleer Empires. Currently **Cloud Ring and Fountain** are connected by a tenious connection **B-DBYQ** and **J5A-IX**...the secondary route through Outer Ring and ORE space **7-692B** through **Sword/Wield/Heart/Regalia/Sceptor** constellations out through **IZ-A0B** ***is under threat from Caldari State intentions and potentially Gallente Federation Response. This could put pressure on Nullsec Capsuleer Autonomy along with Sovereignty and interfere with free trade and movement in the region.***
***Contact your Alliance and Corporate Diplomats and Managers, and standby for further orders and actions to follow.***
***In other news...unknown signals are being detected across the cluster.***
