Intergalactic Summit

I think such a device would be worth far more than one billion interstellar kredits. I certainly would not sell it for that, should I possess such a device.

Even a trillion pales in comparison to what could be achieved with having such a device. Something like that is invaluable and I'd wager that's why it's been so unattainable over these past years. Nevermind it's owned by Sansha, and nothing escapes Nation once they get their claws, or implants, around it...

You want to spend a small fortune seeking a theoretical piece of equipment that you hope can transport you to unknown regions where you hope to find a mythical race, one member of whom that works as an exotic dancer, so you can kidnap them and return to known regions?

That's a lot of trouble to go to just for a little hip-swaying and butt-grinding in your lap sir. Are you truly that lonely?

Aye, I don't get it, Mr Caine, sir. From the myths I've heard the Jove aren't even attractive let alone real.

If all he wants is a lapdance then hell, for a billion I'll give him one myself. I'll even dress up as an ugly, mythical alien if he's into that kind of thing. I still have my Sleeper drone costume somewhere, minus a tentacle or two.

Hey man.

Don't judge.

You're judging again.

Why judge his judgement? Its not like he's asking for a fedo.

I thought the ability to use and grasp irony was a requirement for joining the ISG. I will now avoid using it in order not to get misunderstood.

I don't judge. I don't think there's anything wrong in liking jovian erotic dancers. I think people are entitled to do as they wish. Geez.

An irony? All the people telling you not to judge... are judging. So who is judging the judging judgers?

Yea, I went there.

Personally, I can think of a lot more profitable uses of such a device than going into jove space to get some exotic dancers... but that's just me.

I think that while in the past the Amarr underestimated the Jove, in the present people continually overestimate them.

Keep in mind that a key factor in the one battle they've ever been seen in they had, oh yeah, completely leveraged the situation through the liberal use of spies beforehand. While we were going up against an unknown factor, the Jovian's spy network had shown them ahead of time exactly what we were bringing - and exactly how to defeat it.

One need look no further than the history between Goonswarm and the now defunct Band of Brothers to see just how much damage even one very well placed agent can do.

Had the tables been turned, as far as intel is concerned, the outcome of that battle could very well have been very different.

And factor in the technology gap then compared to now. Since then the nations of New Eden have developed levels of technology that are orders of magnitude ahead of what was brought to the field back then. Have the Jovians bothered to even try to keep pace, or have they smugly assumed that we could never catch up with them?

And remember that wasn't our entire fleet - not by a long shot. It was a single battle group from just one of what is now four mighty nations.

And let's not forget the glaringly obvious addition of, oh yeah, capsuleer technology to our list of new toys.

I firmly believe that if, by the Grace of God, all our modern nations were to ever unite against the Jovians then their little slowly dying empire would become extinct in under a week.
