Interstellar Initiatives are a community activity comparable to an enhanced form of Community Goals. They feature a series of events that play out over the course of a month with multiple phases and an evolving narrative. Some Interstellar Initiatives will have a lasting effect on the galaxy, and can add a new module or Synthesis recipe, affect the infrastructure of a system, or even alter the balance of power between the superpowers.[1]
Overview
Interstellar Initiatives consist of multiple week-long phases, with each phase presenting an activity, such as a poll or Community Goal, that advances the overall narrative and can offer various rewards. The outcome of each phase can change the direction of the narrative and affect which rewards are given.
As an example, the first Interstellar Initiative, "Bridging the Gap", ran from April 29, 3305 to May 30, 3305, and featured four phases.
- Phase One: Commencement[2]
- April 29, 3305 - May 6, 3305
- Pilots were invited by Zende Partners of the Zende system to vote for one of five candidate systems with Guardian Structures to serve as the terminus for a weekly Megaship ferry service and host an outpost.
- Synuefe EN-H d11-96, candidate system #3, won the poll.
- On May 9, 3305, the Megaships The Conduit and Sadler's Song were deployed for the ferry service. Synuefe EN-H d11-96 also gained an outpost, The Prospect, and an installation, Aion Span. In addition, a second outpost was built in Wregoe XQ-L c21-29 as a rest stop.[3]
- Phase Two: Guardian Commodities Community Goal[4]
- May 16, 3305 - May 23, 3305
- Zende Partners hosted a Community Goal at The Prospect to collect Guardian Commodities to unlock a Guardian Technology Broker there.
- The Community Goal was a success, and The Prospect gained a Guardian Technology Broker.
- Phase Three: Conflict Community Goal[4][5]
- May 23, 3305 - May 29, 3305
- Segnen Exchange constructed another outpost, Indigo Dock, in Synuefe EN-H d11-96.
- Zende Partners and Segnen Exchange went to war over control of Synuefe EN-H d11-96 and the ferry service. Each side offered a unique weapon module as an incentive for supporting it: the Advanced Missile Rack for Segnen Exchange, and the Advanced Multi-cannon for Zende Partners. Both modules use normal ammunition by default, but AX ammo can be Synthesized for them on the fly. The winner of the conflict will begin manufacturing their module for sale and retain or gain control of the ferry service.
- Zende Partners triumphed in the conflict.
- Phase Four: Conclusion[4][6]
- May 30, 3305
- Zende Partners began manufacturing and distributing the Advanced Multi-cannon for sale at its controlled stations. Zende Partners also seized control of Indigo Dock, and prevented Segnen Exchange from moving the ferry service to the Segnen system. Segnen Exchange retreated from Synuefe EN-H d11-96 and its plans for the Advanced Missile Rack were set back.
Notes
- Interstellar Initiatives were added with the April Update on April 23, 2019.
