You people are loving dense... All spin aside, you are legit daft as gently caress and it's sad. Reading comprehension is really not that loving hard.... The war being the cause for the pcu drop is being pushed by that greedy ignorant gently caress (your supreme leader. The one you guys take turns sucking off) the Matani. What matteral is saying is that typically after a war ends the pcu goes down for a time because of burn out and that scarcity is what has caused the drop in pcu.

Not so much this as it just simply makes it harder for any of them to leave. The ideal scenario would be that only one or two groups decide to leave, leaving the rest in T5ZI. Those one or two groups that leave can't do so if we've snapped the keepstars on the way out.

Granted, this also means that they can perform a coordinated retreat coalition wide, but that is fine too.

Coordination is not one of the enemy's strengths.

Why, to avoid creating some revanchist poo poo?

You win wars in eve by making your opponent lose the will to fight. It’s much, much easier for your opponent to stop fighting when they have an extremely easy way out. FRT has already shown people the easy way to evacuate (Step 1 YZ9 KS).

At this point it feels like they are dumpstering fleets in a desperate attempt to change the narrative and have SOMETHING to point to as a positive. It also has the secondary benefit of leaving them with less poo poo to evacuate out.

I've started reading Empires of EVE, interesting stuff. If NC and Band of Brothers were sworn enemies, why does the former seem to hate goons so much? Or is the current Northern Coalition a different group with the same name?

NC. Took that name when NC was still active as an attempt to troll them.

When IT alliance collapsed the dregs drained into NC.

When NC collapsed the dregs eventually filtered into a mix of us and NC. (Despite NC. Being amongst the groups that killed NC)

I really hope we don't have to spend a few months dealing with highsec structures. But if so, I imagine our competent and forward thinking leaders have a "break glass in case of emergency" plan for dealing with TTT Keepstar.

the whole reason behind the TTT is that every major nullsec power effectively has a veto over its existence. without the TTT agreement, nobody gets anything because the keepstar doesn't live for long, and so nobody uses it.

the whole reason that TEST is still paying us our share despite trying as hard as they can to kill us (and failing) is because if they don't, it dies.

I Don't Feel Safe Using TTT While It's Under PAPI Control After Seeing Their Leadership Direction. Can We Petition To Pass TTT To a More Secure Alliance Like Goons?


With the current state of the environment and incompetent leadership from PAPI. I do not feel safe keeping assets or transacting in the TTT. If the greatest coalition in the game cannot contain and destroy the Imperium, how will they protect our trading capital.

Dont have access to pyfa rn, but there is no way you can fly the current nado fit with an alpha clone. You should do it anyway to trash.
