This isn't a actually corporation or an alliance.
It's an open-source socialist initiative.

Introducing

ALPHA FLIGHT

This has nothing to do with The InitiativeDOT
This has nothing to do with an actual corp name Alpha Flight if it exists. I'M SO SORRY IF IT DOES. Now deal with it.



So, you're new and want to PVP? You're tired of mining and level 2 mission? Well, me too

So here's what you do.

1. Get your racial frigates skill to three
2. Get your destroyers skill to three, four or even FIVE
3. Fit a viable destroyer build, preferably an artillery trasher, autocannon trasher or holyshitDPS catalyst. Insure it.
4. Join the ingame public channel ''Alpha Flight'' EVERY TIME you log in. You have nothing to lose.
5. If there are a few of us online and thirsty for pod goo, we'll form a fleet and gatecrash nullsec or lowsec and try to melt anything that's smaller than a battleship.
6. Actually scratch that we'll try to melt battleships too.

Here are the rules
1. The fleet commander is whoever is online at the time and feels like taking charge.
2. If you join the fleet to grief ships worth 2 mil ISK you suck at griefing and at spaceships.
3. Using the channel to organize highsec ganking is perfectly okay.
4. Using the channel to talk with other bored people playing this horrible game is perfectly okay.
5. Even if we die horribly that's still just 15 mil ISK for a 5 man Flight. One Alpha'd Dramiel is more than breaking even.
6. Rifters and any frigates that can keep up are also welcome, but unless you're dead broke get a destroyer.




Here are my suggested fits. If you're a veteran and you want to get some goodwill karma points today, help me out if you think they're bad.

About 700 alpha and 100 dps with my crap skills. About 6k EHP and no resist holes. Semi-fast. A few of these will melt frigates and other destroyers at 10km in two cycles tops.
**** warp disruptors, they can't warp if they're dead. (Alternatively one ship in two should fit one)

Around 500 alpha and 160 DPS, 1400 m/s with MWD on. Just barge in, web and gun away. Obvivously you can use a worse web, and if you have money you can use an extender rig instead of a second EM reinforcer.

To feed your destroyer addiction I recommend setting up PI and making coolant or mechanical parts, you should make 2-3 millions a day easy. Or you can just kill three nullsec battleship rats a day.

Alpha because Alpha strikes.
Flight because it's too puny to be a fleet.

Alpha Flight because they're underdog superheroes


Fly unsafely little one, and follow your dreams.

Let's see where this goes.
