Well, to be fair, there was a fleet of quite a number of RUS (-A-?) Crows... :rolleyes:

I'm curious what tomorrow will bring, and I'm curious whether BNI will become more insufferable after this if they "own null sov".

That crow fleet was pretty much a non-factor in the taking of the station. I wish we were contested because I really only care about gudfites :black101:

We'll eventually get a good bit of sov around here, and when that happens hopefully there will be more things to shoot at until some real null power comes along and decides they want our space.

Honestly, I don't think -A- will put up much of a fight. Right now BNI & friends are taking the same opportunity N3 is and taking free sov after DD's meltdown.

Tomorrow? It will probably begin -A-'s perennial trail of tears back to Stain.

Probably not. 13 posts is really light. If you had say 89-90 posts, and they were in multiple subforums, you might get the handwave, if they weren't poo poo posts. Can't really make a case for 13 posts in over 4 years though.

You've posted 12 times in 5 years, and blocked all PMs.

With drone assist about to die and rumors about AFK ratting going too, it looks like I'm going to be a net drain on the alliance until I can train into something useful. Filing for reimbursement and not even able to be a warm body space potato in fleets or contribute taxes.

This is a question mark ? It's not an assertion.
I interpreted it wrongly then.

Would dual Ishtars be better than dual Domis? (mission running)

I'd rather go ishtars because I could cross-train alot of cruiser PvP skills.

Ratting is dumb. You do it for isk, not to be useful. We have a handful of very keen ratters (totally not botters) who make an average person's ratting taxes look like a drop in the bucket.


As for being useful in fleets, you can do that. Before training for the next big thing, train for some extremely useful little things to fall back on. These aren't being nerfed any time soon.







Fly those, be useful on almost any fleet. Far more durable than a newbie tackler. They do die a little easier than their T2 big brothers, but if you are in goonwaffe you'll make bank on double reimbursements.

The Celestis had a dumb thing where it could damp farther than it could target. Now it won't. It isn't a serious nerf.

With -DD- in a poo poo storm, the RUS already not doing that great across the board, -A- is struggling, HERO getting in bed with N3 (probably), where does that leave us? As much as I'd hate to admit it, I'd rather redeploy than see N3 gain anything; but, I hate N3 with a burning bloody passion.

A lot of it is going to depend on how well DD recovers and what N3/PL wants out of this. They probably don't want to go beyond the pre-war borders or risk intervention from the CFC again, so I'd imagine they'll try and grind back to the positions they were at in October, or at the very least take back Immensea, and leave the rest alone. If DD can recover and bump up -A- then I'd be willing to bet they could achieve some sort of stalemate between N3, HERO, and themselves once they give up most of the gains from when we were back there.

Holy poo poo, why is it GSF or bust? Go join GROON already. You have an SA account, so you meet their stringent auth requirements. All you need to do is spend an hour searching for the finest buttes that Google can find and you're in there. Oh, and an mspaint of an Avatar making GBS threads out exotic dancers or something.

Plus they all live in the same station, so you might get to pod Noctis Horrendae or whatever he calls himself on the undock, which is reason enough for this entire thread to move to AAS.
