Yes! It all makes sense! We may be freaks, but we're freaks with teeth, and claws, and magic wands! And together, we can stand up to Farquaad!

The Malta Conference, anyone?
Is it wrong that I think it's a little sad? PL disintegrating is kind of the end if an Era. They were kingmakers for a long time, and the only existential threat to GSF from the fall of the old Northern Coalition until the Casino War.

I remember hiring them for 500M to capture a station in Providence for my first, tiny alliance. (We had shot it with T1 battle cruisers for hours, only to have another larger group swoop in during the final minutes.)

I remember thinking it a major strategic blunder to let them escape from B-R without a hellcamp.

How the mighty have fallen, Ozymandias, etc.

Honestly, the game would/will be better off without PL loving up every single fight between tiny alliances in the game. PL disbanding will poison the well for ncdot too as all the toxic shitters that PL tolerated and ncdot didn't will all flood into the surviving alliance (looking at blue majuere, et al), and hopefully small alliances will bother to field caps again.

I'm happy to see them go and I hope they scatter to the winds.

Apparently he was keeping a majority of the money paid for by Lenny and friends and lying to the alliance about the size of the payouts.

When the alliance finance nerds found out, they kicked him and he joined NC.

sorta. sov is now almost entirely meaningless and outposts were removed and replaced with what are essentially destructable outposts, citadels. so if you want to invade, you burn everything down and then put down your own citadels. or just burn it all down and go home.

you can claim sov but all it gives you is your name on the map and a fuel bonus to pos, which are entirely obsolete and nobody uses except for a tiny handful of things

no

to take sov, you shoot a jesus laser called "entosis link" at a structure to reinforce it, then when the structure exits RF, you have to take your jesus lasers and laser a bunch of different nodes around the constellation the structure is in

as an attacker the nodes can take up to an hour to hack, and as a defender no one but the people in the alliance the structure is owned by can defend, everyone else is considered an attacker

you can't conquer them period, they are all destructible now

though all the assets go into special Asset Safety if you pop em, so that way players actually use the structures instead of stashing all their trash in NPC stations and not living in nullsec space that's more than one capital jump from an NPC station

I kinda hate to say this, but a lot of people consider online friendships to be friendships of convenience.
To them, you're not actual friends, you're people who speak and play together on internet and that's about it. Kinda like how most people view their coworkers. You see them and talk to them everyday but you're not actual friends.

I would hazard to argue that the only thing tangible you can take from any MMO, including EVE, is the friendships you make with people because when the game is gone or you quit playing, that's the only thing of value that matters.

I've made this mistake and had to learn from it personally in the past when I used to do things just to piss people off for laughs. You don't think about it much at the time but it always seems to cost you more than you gain when you treat people on the other end as...well, people.

The best way, if you have no items worth bringing over and no implants, would be to set your home clone station remotely to 1dq1-a and then self destruct your pod.
