brave newbies managed to find it within themselves to form fleets and chase off hostiles from their undock, both in barleguet lowsec and later on in sov null. just throwing this out there.

Are SMA really planning to sustain a 2500-member alliance in a region with no respawning anoms and no L4 combat agents? Like... the best PVE opportunities in outer ring are L4 mining agents.

A 2500 man alliance relying on mining missions for income. Oh boy.

The Imperium's unwillingness to contest timers and/or fight isn't an indictment of FozzieSov, it's an indictment of your leadership.

Stop shifting blame.

This is actually mirroring Fountain a bit - early unnecessary meatgrindering of battleships followed by total mismanagement of the defensive strategy.

I look forward to either a :masterstroke: move where some crazy plan allows for PL hubris to kick in and lose everything (there is a Y- system in Cloud Ring after all) or to the next incarnation of a goon alliance with less pubbie meatshield. Either way this is undoubtably good for the game, it'll inject new life as a land rush occurs. I just hope that they make outposts destructible sooner rather than later so that there's a reason to start churning out citadels, as now the north looks a lot like providence.

also the point of the anshar killmail is that it's a gang of 25 tornados sitting on the undock of a (formerly) major coalition unmolested and collecting free dank killmails

It was 14 Tornados and as you can see from the damage numbers, some of them fired two volleys with 1400's which means the Jump Freighter was exposed for around 30 seconds. So it went out of station range or the pilot lost control in some other way.

the other lesson is that when you get a guy in charge who unironically sees himself as "king of space" (and is socially awkward enough to say "kill urself irl" at fanfest that one time) and turns the leadership into a bunch of unfunny pencilpushers who want ~space prestige~ nothing good is going to happen

It doesn't really matter if you warp to zero on another station to move around materials.

But please do explain to me this game of jump freighters :frogon:

apparently warping resets the cycle timer on artilleries. so if you do it on-grid and keep your target in range after the warp you can get a cycle every 12 seconds or so.

Honestly I can sympathize with that and I feel a bit bad about about laughing at it. Still, when you're going to outer ring because syndicate is too dangerous, hearing a crying child in the background is just too beautiful to ignore.
