Yeah and the response is "It's a Krabswarm Astrahus. Why the gently caress are they not forming to defend it?"
We arranged allies to come and help and krabswarm basically blueballed them all by not coming to the party. Absolute waste of time and money buying that poo poo lmao

Its even funnier when i remember that they purchased structures midway through the war and almost demanded we leave delve to come to shithole triangle space to come defend them - despite them buying them entirely without the alliances knowledge. Real great way to set the mood

Their defenses against RC (I’m assuming - it was Stribog) were absolutely pathetic

There's no drama, why the gently caress would you defend someone's structure if they CBA to show up and defend it themselves?

I just googled Pochven and lol, I get why they run it, I’m not sure why they run it on mains within alliance though? Surely this would be a alt corp thing where you commit your real resources to your own 0.0, where there are no NPC stations, or am I missing something?

It takes 2 minutes and 500k isk to get into the staging NPC station, so why not bring your highest sp character.

The second point: there's no real reason other than vanity to own structures in Pochven.

I personally like making 400+ mil an hour at pochven.

If there was another way to do it a simply as pochven that you could teach the krabswarm I. Pochven then maybe pochven would be less valuable to krabswarm. Until then it has huge strategic importance as I see it.

How else could us pubbies buy capitals

Threw another Stealth Bomber on the altar of Krab Beacons, thought for myself while the FC was saying "Kill Fighters, Kill Fighters" I got the bright idea to manual pilot away from anchor to try and shoot a bomb at fighters? Let's say it didn't work out well. Seems the response fleet from Pandemic Horde took a beating, sad I missed it. We definitely got cleared out but they paid for it.

I can finally fly a T2 Sturmovik Purifier! These things costing 90mil a pop is a little eye watering as noob but god damnit these are cool ships and I love flying them. Interceptors and Assault Frigates are next, brief interlude to finish T2 Cormorants.

Hell yeah t2 frigates are the most fun you can have in this game.

Weapons upgrades/advanced weapons upgrades/anything else that drives cpu or power reductions so you can fit ships without having to sacrifice for rigs/mods

Propulsion skills that reduce cap usage and improve speed are always good and will benefit a wide variety of ships

Cheap weapon skills that align with stuff you currently use a lot

The career agents are fantastic for isk and knowledge, I would do the mining one and get the basic skills for a Venture mining frig. They give them out at home base and it’s a nice and easy set of skills to have.

find a ship you would want to fly and train the requirements for it. jackdaws need caldari destroyer V which takes at least a month to train. My first T2 ship was an interceptor (though that was back when they were the best way to travel around), which needs frigate V in whichever empire you want (minmatar is my favorite).

There's also The Magic 14 which are skills that are useful for all ships

the astero is easily the coolest ship in the game. the bigger SoE ships look even cooler, but they aren't good enough to warrant their price.

an astero can also easily gank hecates as long as you don't let them scram you.

It’s also a tad bit skill intensive for someone new. It’s what, a good two months on skill training to get on the hull and have mediocre drone skills?

the astero hull is a super fast train, you just need like gallente and caldari frigate III or something super easy. but yeah, the long trains are for the covops cloak and good drone skills which are both pretty much required if you want to use it in any meaningful way.

It makes a bad assault frigate and a worse interceptor, but it's the second best covops in the game.

The concord one looks cooler.

the krabhus in pochven died, and the goon eagles faceplanted when alterari disconnected on the warpin, but the sax fleet ripped their muninns to shreds. in the end the sax actually held the field because we were just deleting 2 hacs every five seconds until they left lol. 8 claymores killed with alpha damage.
