介绍木星分离主义者

各位鱼食们好！

上周我们发布了博文以详细介绍即将到来的潜渊症1.0派系大修更新，是为三篇中的第一篇。在这些文章中，我们会详细说明游戏新特色和新内容，并更加深入地介绍木卫二上的各个派系。木卫二联盟首当其冲，而紧随其后，让我们细细品品他们的死敌——木星分离主义者。

木星分离主义者

为了完全理解分离主义分子的历史，我们首先得说说他们的起源：一个叫作“木星人民运动”的政党（缩写JPM——Jovian People‘s Movement）。JPM与联盟的诞生时间所差不多，是联盟政治理念与政治手段的反对者。JMP希望通过非暴力手段，依照早期地球文明的形态于木卫二上塑造一个民主社会。该政党吸引了相当数量的拥趸，并在木卫二大选中成为了联盟不可忽视的竞争者。

不过，就在大选即将开始的几周前，JPM和独立殖民地的非正式首府——托姆斯戴尔发生了核爆。反应堆的溶解与最后的爆炸对JPM造成了毁灭性的打击，它的许多支持者就此一并罹难。

“灾难过后救援队只发现了恰巧在站外的四位幸存者，而余下的106位住民推定遇难。”

——托姆斯代尔事件的新闻报道

选举并未因惨剧的发生而延期，因此被削弱了的JPM没能得到超过联盟的选票。官方宣称托姆斯代尔事件为事故一场，但其发生时间使JPM阵营的人疑窦丛生，许多人确信其中掺着联盟的黑手。双方对峙加剧，联盟的潜艇和站点遭到了攻击。尽管JPM的领导人们谴责了暴力活动，该政党仍被列为恐怖组织。不久，JPM不复存在了，而木星分离主义者崛起于它的尸体之中。

“JPM与暗杀活动无关。人民运动致力于以非暴力方式建设欧罗巴民主。”

——Harlow Petran，JPM创立者，针对Herbert May遭暗杀的发言

几十年过去了，木卫二仍旧处于联盟的铁腕统治下，木星分离主义分子也缓慢而坚实地站稳了脚跟。随着许多站点加入为了自由的斗争，分离主义者们又一次崛起，成为联盟的威胁。

联盟控制木卫二上的生灵已经过久了吗？变革的时机已经到了吗？木星分离主义者为了木卫二能够摆脱权威统治之手而战斗着，并将以和平或武力的方式还权于民。

派系大修：新雇佣者，更多船长天赋

正如我们上次提到的，派系大修将推出许多新任务和事件。为了满足大家的求知欲，更新中也有许多新的细节文本：我们想让派系活灵活现，而不是特征全无的组织，所以我们描绘了一些新角色，每一个都怀着独特的故事以待诉说。

随着你历经各个派系的故事，并依靠完成任务得到足够的声望，你还能雇到新的NPC船员。这些新的派系专属可雇佣角色比起普通NPC拥有更高的技能水平，更多的经验点数和更好的装备。假如你够格，新的派系雇佣分为两部分，“普通”和“精英”，条件是你有足够的声望。

在旅行一段时间后，当你的名声在你选择的派系之中远播，某些脸熟的人也许甚至会自愿成为你的船员。可能你们已经猜到是谁了？

派系大修也更新了船长的第三条天赋树，这玩意我们已经从去年咕咕咕到现在了。这条线叫作政治家，正如名字所暗示的，它和木卫二派系有密不可分的联系。简而言之，这条分支上的天赋专精于获得声望，并利用声望为你的船员捞好处。

政治家技能树鼓励你选择一个派系，从一而终，因为你的船员将根据你所归属的派系得到加成。你归属的派系是指你声望最高的那个派系，根据你选择的天赋，派系归属会给你属于该派系的加成；像快速声望增长啦，更多任务奖金啦，潜艇服务折扣啦，或是商店折扣。

政治家技能树也带回了之前从游戏中暂时移除的表彰和勋章。这些机制和过去大体一致，授予勋章的船员可以得到大量经验。

我们也修改了一点东西：勋章将赋予新角色足够前五个天赋点的经验，让新角色快速成长，为与你并肩作战做好准备。（1024：给个勋章努力卖命是吧）

INTRODUCING THE JOVIAN SEPARATISTS

Hello everyone!

Last week, we published the first of three blog posts detailing the upcoming faction overhaul in Barotrauma 1.0. In these posts, we will elaborate on the new features and additions, and give more insight into the different factions of Europa. The first post focused on the Europa Coalition, so now let’s delve deeper into their rival, the Jovian Separatists.

THE JOVIAN SEPARATISTS

To get the full picture on the history of the Separatists, first we have to talk about their origins, a political party called the Jovian People’s Movement. The JPM was formed around the same time as the Coalition, and was in direct opposition to the political ideals and methods of their rival. The JPM wanted to build a democratic society on Europa through nonviolent means and model it after earlier civilizations on Earth. The Movement amassed a large number of supporters and became a noteworthy challenger to the Coalition in the general election of Europa.

A couple of weeks before the election was going to take place, however, there was a nuclear disaster in the colony of Tormsdale, the unofficial headquarters of the JPM and the independent colonies. The reactor meltdown and ensuing explosion dealt a devastating blow to the Movement, with many of their supporters among the deceased.

“RESCUE TEAMS HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO FIND FOUR SURVIVORS WHO HAPPENED TO BE OUTSIDE THE OUTPOST AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, AND THE REMAINING 106 INHABITANTS ARE PRESUMED DEAD.”

– NEWS REPORT AT THE TIME OF THE TORMSDALE INCIDENT

Despite this tragedy, the election was not rescheduled, and the crippled JPM could not gather enough votes to overtake the Coalition. The Tormsdale incident was declared an accident, but the timing raised suspicion among the JPM’s ranks, with many believing the Coalition had a hand in it. Tensions boiled over and attacks were made against Coalition submarines and outposts. Even though the leaders of the JPM denounced the acts of violence, the party was declared a terrorist organization. Not long after, the JPM was no more and the Jovian Separatists rose from its remains.

“THE JPM WAS NOT BEHIND THE ASSASSINATION. THE MOVEMENT STRIVES TO MAKE EUROPA A MORE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY BY NON-VIOLENT MEANS.”

– HARLOW PETRAN, JPM FOUNDER, ON THE ASSASSINATION OF HEBERT MAY

After decades of Europa remaining firmly under the rule of the Coalition, the Jovian Separatists have slowly but surely regained their foothold. They have once again grown strong enough to provide a challenge for the Coalition, with multiple outposts joining the fight for freedom.

Has the Coalition controlled the lives of Europans for too long? Is the time ripe for change? The Jovian Separatists strive to deliver Europa from the grasp of an authoritarian leadership and put the power back in the hands of its people – through means peaceful or otherwise.

FACTION OVERHAUL: NEW HIRES, MORE CAPTAIN TALENTS

As we mentioned last time, the faction overhaul will introduce lots of new missions and events. For the lore-hungry, this also entails lots of new writing: we wanted the factions to feel alive and not like faceless organizations, so we have written a handful of new characters, each with their own stories to share.

As you progress through the stories of all the factions and gather enough reputation from completing missions, you will also get to hire new NPC crewmates. These new hireable faction-specific characters have higher skill levels, more experience points and better gear than normal hireable NPCs. The new faction hires come in two tiers, “normal” and “elite”, if you will, depending on how much reputation you have gained.

Even further down the road, when you become a trusted household name for your chosen faction, some familiar faces may even volunteer to join your crew. Maybe you can already guess who some of them are!

The faction overhaul also introduces the captain’s third talent tree which we held off on at the time of the talent rework last year. This tree is titled Politician, and as the name suggests, it has everything to do with the factions of Europa. In short, the talents in this tree focus on reputation gains and making use of those to the benefit of your crew.

The Politician tree encourages you to pick and stick with a faction, as your crew will gain perks based on your affiliation with one. The affiliated faction is the faction with which your reputation is higher, and affiliation grants you bonuses with that faction depending on the talents chosen; things like faster reputation progression, higher mission payout, discounts on submarine services, or discounts in shops.

The Politician tree also brings back the Commendations and Medals which were temporarily removed from the game earlier. These function largely the same as before, giving lots of experience to the chosen crewmember.

We also added a little twist: the Medal instantly gives enough experience for any new character to obtain their first five talent points. This helps new characters catch up faster and be ready to join the fight with you.
