Does the Nine Tails Lockdown event trigger from in-game actions, or is it like XenoThreat, where it's scheduled and started by the developers?
Ben Dorsey · Senior Systems Designer, US PU

It is started by developers. It's not even automatically scheduled. That's actually another step that we want to take, allowing it to be put on basically a calendar with a date and time on it. That was supposed to be the next step, but frankly, all that Tony has been able to talk about for the past few weeks is wanting to make it so that it's triggered by things in-game, potentially. So that schedule might get a little bit flipped up. But it is definitely intended that eventually some form of in-game actions will cause these to happen, be that increasing the piracy level in an area to the point where Nine Tails thinks that they have a shot, or even just doing missions for them to the point where they get enough resources as an organization to build up the fleet that they need to do these kinds of things. And that's for all world events in the future. That is the plan, that eventually these are all driven by that simulation of what's going on and player actions.
