Grape of Wrath
Eastern War Status
As most of you know, our stay so far in Curse has been exciting. We've been raping the shit out of everybody. The situation down here has been rapidly swinging in the favor of our allies, particularly XIX. Оur goal in this arеa is still the same: kill as many hostiles as we can‚ and avoid getting drawn into much tower shooting. We have been very successful in this to date, destroying many Caps, Non-Caps and even a Supercap of the enemies in the east. As long as we continue to beat down cow/irc/ed/aggro/scorched earth/atlas etc, I will be able to deliver on my promise of a standings reset.
I will be meeting with our allies this week to discuss a full standings reset so that there are no misunderstandings when it happens. Even if the war over here continues for longer than we'd like, I think we can help XIX just as much simply by living in Curse and killing the surrounding hostiles on a daily basis as we have already been doing. Expect an announcement regarding this in less than 2 weeks.
Tasks for You All
I want all corp supplies/ships/fuel etc that are currently being stored in g-tt to be shipped to Vehan or an adjacent system. The urgency on this is relatively low, but I would like it completed within 3 weeks at the least. Having stockpiles in G-TT will not be nearly as useful to us as Vehan for the time being.
And here is a general checklist of things that all members should do:
- Make sure you have a jump clone in d5iw
- make sure you have a jump clone in vehan
- Each corp should have dictors/hictors stocked in d5iw and Vehan
- Pilots who have the ability should attempt to store an extra hac and/or battleship in d5iw
And here is a list of what you should have in g-g78s:
- LR hac
- RR BS
- Fleet BS
- tackler (ceptor/dictor/hictor)
- cloaker (cov ops, recon, bomber, black ops etc)
- Personal Carriers
- Backups of each that you can afford
JewGold Auctions
The JewGold auctions are happening right now as most of you have noticed. I think these auctions are going relatively smoothly right now, and I appreciate the cooperation of the current owners.
I wanted to clearly state to all of you now, that these moons WILL BE RE-AUCTIОNED AGAIN in roughly six months. Plеase plan accordingly.
JewGold Spending
The alliance wallet is finally starting to look good again. The savings associated with leaving delve along with the cost reductions I made a few weeks ago have already made a huge difference.
I have completely paid off sn8kez now‚ and I am now directing a lot of isk towards some long needed logistical improvements, such as buying more battleships to stockpile in strategic locations, buying corp jump freighters, and of course more dreads...
Regarding the ship reimbursement program, it will show up again in the future, but probably not until I feel there is a need for it (we are involved in a major conflict, or we're being attacked). In the meantime, we're basically just PvP'ing for fun, fly what you can afford to lose. If you are an active pilot who has for some reason had a sting of bad luck, please talk to your directors/ceo's about it and we'll work something out. The goal is to keep you all PvP'ing, while instilling the risk vs reward that is necessary to keep you all on your toes. If anything we can bring this back once you all remember how to be self reliant.
Tourney Testing
I will hopefully try to run some test server practices before the end of July. Please get on the test server NОW and start training your T3 and maraudеr skills so we can actually test this stuff out. The number of permutations of strategic cruiser fittings plus subsystems is astronomical‚ and will require more teѕting than еver before.
