Somewhat more exciting than previous weeks, here come's the TPN's update on just what Black Prophecy staff have had to say this week.

First off, although I believe the actual show happened last week, this week a translation and podcast of the radio show featuring the CEO of Dynamedion, the company that produced Black Prophecy's soundtrack has been made available. You may recall that theTPN has previously interviewed Dynamedion, also aquire an exclusive music sample

Then we had Reakktor CEO Kirk Lenke giving another interview, this time to german site onlinewelten. Thenew information here revolves around resources and clan battles. We learned of resource stations for clans to fight for control of as well as details about the purpouses served by clan stations. Apparently these resources will be critical in modifying weapons as well as having an influence on respawns. A translation is available on the offical forums.

KK also deigned to release a set of new, in cockpit screenshots. Here we see the progression of the HuD, with some new elements and some details changed from the gameplay trailer. Also, we discover that the player will also be able to fly human ships - and that is what the end of the gameplay trailer shows, not a Genide player. Best guess so far is that the player moves through the first few introctuion missions as a human before being forced to take a side. The opening of this game promises to be far more exciting than any MMO I've yet seen - here's hoping.

Snowcrash has also been talking to the media again this week, giving MMOSite an interview. Largley empty of new information, the only thing established by this interview that wasn't before were a few details on the background of The Restorers, confirming the most basic guess that they were highly xenophobic.

Not directly related to the game, but still of note: the offical forums underwent some changes this week too. A new section was added to the site "Archive of the Preservers" (new race/faction? or just a name?). This section is for fan created media, be it music, stories, artwork etc and has a suprising amount of threads for an unreleased game. Beyond that, the forums also have two new globabl annoucments - a welcome/explanation of the forums and a set of rules - many of which are amusingly the result of specific incidents on the old Neocron forums.

Oh and finally in the most exciting announcment of the week, Snowcrash revealed that all player-craft cockpits come equipped with built-in pizza ovens!. Pilots are DESTINED to never go hungry!
