Aether-1 Clues description and what it is all about.
[Thalin] Where's the reveal? I know, I know. Today the automatic packet reporting system array was finished however we're waiting on a few items to arrive to finish the vehicle build. What is Aether-1? We'll be sending Evony up to space and the game will be playing, so hopefully this will be the first MMO game to do that! The automatic reporting system array will be vital in obtaining data reports.
Clue - 1 ->
The cosmonaut Aleksandr Serebrov launched aboard a Soyuz TM-17 rocket to MIR. While that was fantastic, this clue is all about what he brought up with him. He took Tetris to the space station and played it for 197 days. Tetris became the first video game in space. Evony is going into space.
Clue - 2 ->
There have been just a few people who have privately launched a vehicle up to the upper reaches of the stratosphere and at the edge of space. These are the coordinates of a few who have done something very similar. And yes, those stars are Evony offices.
Clue - 3 ->
This gave the RGB colours for the flag of France, with the date 1896 when the first weatherballoons were launched to explore the skies. All eyes here will be looking skyward to watch the launch of Aether-1.
Clue - 4 ->
Yes, you were to email aether-1@evony.com. That player did it, and he'll be receiving something special.
Clue - 5 ->
Stargazer was the codename when Joe Kittinger flew up in a weather balloon to the upper reaches of the stratosphere and returned back to earth, setting massive records. After reaching maximum height, we'll have the vehicle return back after a significant freefall. The aim of this was to have you look at what has happened in the atmosphere with people, and that we'll be hopefully setting records too!

Aether one and the lack of info.
I do not mean to come off as insulting but when you guys say your going to reveal information about this and then proceed to tell us absolutely nothing about it even up to the eve of release it tends to waste alot of our time looking at the forums. If you wanted to keep it under wraps thats totally fine. Just say so from the jump so were all not looking here daily for info were expecting 2 weeks ago that was never released. If this info was revealed I retract this post and please point me to it.
And I do have an idea what it is or more specifically what it is not. It cannot be any major content or you guys have committed a serious mistake by not involving the player base for feedback. It is not age 3 or a new game or you'd have released info and the timescale doesn't fit. This leaves one thing worthy of the hype that would require and even possibly benefit from not informing the player base about the specefics. I believe it to be a bot sweeping program. Note the heavy Tron reference in one of the clues as well. I hope I have it right because na31 is infested with them and It be nice to finally be able to break a city and actually npc it.
