I am a sensitive manchild and the needling heckles sting. They sting.

I usually just assume that the higherups neither know nor care about what we do, tbh.

I thought I had made it through eve vegas without talking about spaceships.

Apparently this is only because I had only talked yelled about spaceships when I was blackout drunk.

I spent most of the weekend blackout drunk.

SV existed before BOS and SV will exist after BOS up until the point we get headshot. This isn't a killing blow. It's more like being gutted slowly.

They'll get over it in a page or two.

In the meantime: Hurricanes of any kind are going to be iffy. Since you've been gone, the Hurricane has been nerfed into a hole in the ground; ACs are not great for ratting, and Hurricane can't fit a full rack of artillery without a bunch of fitting mods.

It can probably do it, but I'd strongly suggest training gallente cruisers and drones so you can hop into a Vexor Navy Issue ASAP. Alternately, if you have battleship skills, grab a Rattlesnake -- they're cheap and really good ratters.

That's 99% of it. HS prides themselves on being strong independent brutor women who don't need no coalition. This rubs some people the wrong way.

There are multiple reasons, but it seems like "gently caress you SV" is at the top. In before a director defending the decision for economically sound reasons.

It's the regions around where BOS / SV live so I'm guessing it's somehow related, maybe to preventing SV members from emergency-liquidating their ships via reimbursement.

I'm not actually in HS but I know most of the members, and from my take any independent streak would be because there's no practical way to integrate a casual WH organization into the coalition and they can't even get some members to blue them, not out of some active disdain for the organization.

E: Pretty much the below. Hole Squad is out of the coalition for practical reasons, not because they want to be.

This is news to me. We're still the same bunch of bads it's just we live in a place with no local and have to deal with POS mechanics. I understood the arms length arrangement to be largely one of security because of the roles required for POS management.

Edit: not being either blue or allowed to defend ourselves when we run into coalition members and having to eat the loss out of our own pocket is a pain in the dick as well.

why would you think we would do this? This isnt even like a thing? :psyduck:

but tldr;

Its basically a pretty blatant sign that with bos gone they dont want us to rebuild as a npc nullsec group and that we should find a new gimmick, which would be fine if like this was communicated in any other way but dickish all-all broadcasts and veiled threats.

now before we go thinking we are too important its also to draw everyone back home because for fozzie sov you actually need to live in your space, again communication or warning would have been nice :/

Before you came back, there was at least one time when we got reimbursement for a region cancelled by broadcasting an insurance fraud fleet at the end of deployments!


But yeah, I would assume there is something deeper going on than "we want you to come home" if they're going to the extent of nuking membercorps. Maybe this kind of communication happened over our heads, maybe there' just assholes with grudges!
