One of the new content additions coming to <a href="http://www.eveonline.com"><em>EVE Online</em></a> this December are Epic Mission Arcs for two of New Eden's pirate factions -- the <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Guristas">Guristas</a> and the <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Angel_Cartel">Angel Cartel</a>. Scott Holden (aka <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp-molock">CCP Molock</a>) is the Lead Content Creator at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ccp-games">CCP Games</a> who has overseen the inclusion of the new pirate missions into <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/eve-online"><em>EVE</em></a>. Holden recently discussed some of the specifics of pirate mission running with <a href="http://eve.mondespersistants.com">Mondes Persistants</a>. <br />
<br />
The epic arcs for the Guristas and Angel Cartel will offer up roughly 10-12 branching missions, says Holden. The Guristas arc will largely be based in nullsec space in <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Venal_%28Region%29">Venal</a>, but players will be able to begin in <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Orvolle_%28System%29">Orvolle</a> (high security) or low security starting points like <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Taisy_%28System%29">Taisy</a>. The Angel Cartel epic mission arcs will mostly be based in the <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Curse_%28Region%29">Curse region</a>, the stomping grounds of the Cartel. Would-be devotees to the Angel cause (of sabotage, extortion, and general mayhem) will be able to embark on the faction's mission arc from solar systems like <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Sendaya_%28System%29">Sendaya</a> or <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Konora_%28System%29">Konora</a> in low sec. Surprisingly, it seems that a player doesn't need high pirate faction standings to access either the Guristas or Angel Cartel epic mission arcs. Players with good standings with <em>empire factions</em> will be able to jump into the pirate mission arcs via mission agents found in low security space.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/11/eve-online-lead-content-creator-explains-epic-mission-arcs-for-p/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>EVE Online Lead Content Creator explains epic mission arcs for pirate factions</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/11/eve-online-lead-content-creator-explains-epic-mission-arcs-for-p/">EVE Online Lead Content Creator explains epic mission arcs for pirate factions</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:00:00 EST.
