The greatest test of courage on Earth is to bear defeat without losing heart~

So the last few months have seen inconceivable amounts of ownage, a quintessential David vs Goliath story. At least, a David vs. some
Goliath. We were hired by RUS)) to draw NC from Dronelands, we accomplished this in under a month. Taking 60 Tech moons and obliterating 300 man fleets every other day was a happy accident, a happy accident which resulted in a lot of quality poasting and chest-beating. But all good things must come to an end. NC realized, finally, that they could not out-think us, out-spy us, or out-play us; waving goodbye to crazy (read: terrible) tactics, they fell back onto the shove-as-many-people-into-a-system-as-possible tactic. This we dealt with fairly well, just destroying their sub-cap gangs and avoiding cap gangs - we held strong. And then that fateful day when we welped some Titans. It sparked in NC the realization that they can just throw caps around completely devoid of tactics or thought.
So that brings us to where we are now, no longer can we just go and own everything at will - we're forced to choose our battles. NC have taken a zero-morale-loss approach: blueballing unless they can drop caps. Luckily they're terrible, and we were one Merlin away from owning the other day and five-minutes from utterly graping their small cap fleet the day before. This forces them to get sloppy and, hopefully, opens up doors to trapping them something fierce in the near future. In the meantime, we will focus on perfecting new bombing techniques, doing some hit-n-runs, and trying to save as many towers as possible. Towers are not what we came here for, it's something we took to provoke some fights and draw NC back during important timers for our contract. While it's certainly nice to hold them they're ultimately meaningless, though they do provide some good fights~ All of our towers have been timed immaculately, GОOD JOB EXCLAMATION POINT
As far as futurе plans go‚ we're not Tri - we don't have plans to live in Venal being thorns in the sides to NC. When opportunity arises for us, we will pick up and move and continue to 0wn. As soon as it is decided, I will make sure to let you people know. Until then, attend as many ops as you can, take out small roaming gangs, stand up and try FCing if you want, just do whatever yo. This is basically the polar opposite of Feyth, you can go 10 jumps in any direction and run flat-into some retards. It's good, so enjoy it.
There is an ebb and flow to Eve, most of the time you 0wn but sometimes you have to settle for getting 0wned. As such we've lost some fair-weather spacefriends, some whom have left on their own accord and some whom I've simply purged for being useless. A happy corp, after all, is one devoid of excess baggage. Recruiting is no longer on freeze, though it's not open either. I'll call it "selectively open", so if you have any friends that may be interested in joining you can tell them that they won't be immediately turned away.
Corp ships have not changed much, we still have a healthy cache of Logistics, Dictors of all classes, Hictors, Command ships (bar the missing Damnation), a fleet of T3s, a triage Chimera, and some bombers. Ammo and Drone hangars should be stocked with everything you need - if anything is missing just grab me ingame and we'll get it sorted asap. Likewise, our wallet is looking healthy once again; so long austerity measures. So everything is looking good with one exception: our low-sec jewgold empire. While we were in Venal, we never had a chance to expand our small empire - we are ~teamplayers~ after all. We've also lost our Bosbogger PОS simply by bеing fucking terrible. There is no sugar coating that fuckup‚ and it cost us 4 bil a month which covered the bulk of our operating costs. While we may have bouts of terribleness, we are quintessential fighters. The Arifsdald PОS, which wе've held seemingly forever‚ was sieged by NC C-Team. Tragic, yes, but our PОS was infusеd with an indomitable spirit of baller. The tower itself died‚ but the mods refused to succumb. -R- failed to drop a tower after DT thanks to HERОES OF THE LEGION and wе still hold it. Despite being bad at this game‚ we're ѕtill dеstined for greatness. Next level spaceship maneuver for real.
