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!

I was back and running that deployment it was a joke ping that atrum burst a blood vessel over.

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.

More of a battered housewife. People have tried to lead fleets while in hole squad and been dunked by blues for it. If you are a blue you can shoot us and nobody will stop you (not even us, we have to just run).

EDIT: If I could pop out of the hole, jump to a clone at staging and do some ops I would. I just can't do that with a character that people in my fleet are going to shoot at.

Sorry, I always get your SA account mixed up with Schaden.

But yeah, I would definitely like to see more about this than menacing all-all pings.

Woke up to no forums or jabber access and no prior warning of what was to come. BOS and by extension SV sure did get owned.

Joke or not, EG tried to do the exact same thing with their nightmares and it was fine and dandy.

(Yes, I know that EG has special slush funds of their own, and they get those slush funds by being loyal soldiers of the emperor. I've been advised and thought very carefully before making a statement like this in a public forum.)

Though that does suggest that SV could have a future if the sig followed EG's pattern. Not the elitism and blue-shooting parts, but the whole deploy places to gently caress things up at the direction of the direkkktorate. I know SV loves syndicate, but there's nothing important in syndicate. And half the time people are just complaining that syndicate is dead anyways.

Assuming of course that this isn't some sort of larger purge, and that the whole sig isn't considered tainted or something.

We have done that in the past. I still have poo poo down in Fountain from the last time we quelled Fountain Core at the behest of the direkkktorate, and SV is always happy to put Evoke back in their place whenever they get designs about Cloud Ring sov.

We have been doing that for like 2 years since suas stepped down, blawrf basically told us to do whatever since nothing of import was happening. We went to fountain and folded into main fleet for the grind and when it was over came back to syndicate.

Basically a shittier eg for quite some time.

This is a funny post because because EG gets money from the emperor, is elitist and shoots blues.

Best of luck to SV, but BOS didn't fit the suck metric. Too many ratting carriers and not enough strategic value seems to be more important in the upcoming era of crowded space.

I see him idle in gs_isk sometimes. In five years of knowing him I've only heard his voice once. He is a hard man to get ahold of.

As for "holesquad and being useful," yeah, I'd really like to be able to take my high sp characters out of wormhole space and do things but FCON (among others) is retarded and won't give us standings. Nobody in hole violence can go on mainfleet ops because of this.

There are two solutions to this. 1) Purge FCON 2) Purge FCON.
