So after many years away due to poo poo, I logged in for the first time last night. After finding all my ships and stuff gone I located it in process of being safely shipped somewhere to low sec. It has 17 days to go, if I upgrade to Omega does that speed it up at all or do I just have to wait?

You are going to be waiting regardless of your account status. May as well wait to resub.

You just gotta wait, and it'll cost 15% of the value of the assets to get it out of hock once it lands.

ASCN, I was there for that on the ASCN side. CYVOK was an idiot who did not understand game mechanics.

Yet strangely enough, through roundabout reasoning and cause/effect, if he hadn't made Molle butthurt by being the first to build one, it wouldn't have created the vacuum in Feyth we temporarily filled when ASCN got rolled, which put us in a decent strategic position to headshot Delve. If he hadn't, we'd likely have never left Detorid.

ASCN and BoB was an odd relationship. A lot of rumors about that little conflict between them at the time. When BoB decided to destroy Goons, ASCN and the rest of the south at the time were with them until that whole little conflict changed everything. ASCN leadership at the time was proclaiming soon BoB would be leaving EVE to play Pirates of the Burning Sea and a few weeks later it all crumbled away. ASCN was barely able to put up a fight.

I had so many drat bookmarks back then, it was nice when we were able to get rid of those.

yeah we don't use discord

discord is okay for pick-up voice chats for low numbers of people, but just today we had 2500 people on our voice chat server at once, and discord, uh, ain't built for that

also because spying on nerds is a huge part of the game, controlling the voice chat and text chat yourself is good for catching spies

Serious question- how does that work when literally anyone can put an alpha clone into KF?

Or is it more like opsec for capswarm stuff?
