"Sensing this moment of unexpected weakness in a strategically critical location..."

Spider sensing? Woman's intuition? How does one group sense another group will miss a payment?

Anyway hats off to CCP for keeping the servers up when similar battles have recently not happened due to the nodes being overwhelmed. It is unclear why the nodes have gone down recently, CCP does not seem to comment on them, but for some reason this time they got it right.

Let's hope all battles from now on are allowed to reach a conclusion determined by the players, not the hardware we play on.

Not that I disagree but isn't it time CCP made the Reply and New Topic buttons different colors or something? Make the Reply button an inviting sky blue and New Topic scary purple black so that we are subconsciously afraid to touch it?

People will still feel their reply is so important that they'll start a new thread anyway I suppose. Just thought I'd throw this in here rather than starting a new topic on it.

They were caught with their sov pants down... pretty weak situation for guarding their assets.

OP you are wrong on so many things in your post. Read more and get better forum foo before starting a new thread in future.

They are called ISDs. Some bitter vet posters let them do their job, others try to do it for them. Maybe you could learn the difference about that?

You are correct, the cut and paste from the developers blog was done completely wrong.

Not arguing that, more the comment that someone was able to "sense" this disturbance in the Sov.

The ISD system isn't garbage.

Hard-working pilots who pay for the privilege to mop up all the junk we post on the forum, answer an endless bombardment of the same questions over and over again in Help and Rookie Help, grinding away at the futile task of keeping the wiki up-to-date, all while trying to keep some time left-over for actually playing the game. I envy their dedication.

The CSM system, on the other hand, is garbage.

Do YOU like to undock?

Your genius never ceases to impress. Might I suggest putting "IRS" on the new post button?

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.
