No.

Just, no.

Pl is the 28th largest alliance currently. All the top 10 largest alliances have over 2500 members.

So, by Nullsec standard, they are a medium sized entity

yeah, why isn't this an AAA Spotlight? AAA is so much better/more important/more influential then PL...

We removed it with the Sphere, CCP just hasn't noticed yet.

I did not know a pet could have a pet.

Really, I'm a bit sad to see this. The impression I was getting from the community spotlights was the contributions of members who have worked within the rules, to help the game, and foster a better community, featuring some of the most prominent do gooders.

And then, you shame them, and the entire project, by putting up Pandemic Legion, a group renowned for violating game rules (Inserting code, bypassing local, etc), a group known for prettymuch trying to cheat, or bend the rules to get the upper hand, including not using game-intended resources, to get their way.

Do PL have some really good pilots?

Sure

Are they good at combat when they have a massive highly expensive fleet present?

Sure

Do they get paid a ton of isk to help big name alliances out?

Sure

And yet, I fail to see the merit in those points, the points of which were highlighted in the community spotlight, making up for the blatant damages they have done to the community over the years. Yet, somehow, I suppose we should have all seen this coming, given that CCP can't seem to get the older grandfathered-in employees to stop creating bias by playing characters in major alliances.

Big thumbs down on this one, CCP.

Wouldnt have been my first choice but i can see why CCP picked them, after all they are one of the most recognisable null sec groups, goonswarm being the other, plus winning the AT three years on the trot is a very significant achievement regardless of how it was accomplished.

I think CCP has demonstrated with the choices so far how broadly the net is being thrown when it comes to looking at potentials for this, I mean lets look at what theyve chosen so far.

1. Chribba - the most well known player bar none, in fact I challenge you to find anyone with even the most cursory knowledge of EvEs history who doesnt know who Chribba is and what hes provided for the community. This one was a no brainer and pretty much the only choice for the very first one.

2. DOTLAN - ranks alongside EFT and Evemon as one of eves most useful third party tools. I think they had to do one of the three early on and for whatever reason they chose DOTLAN. Having said that I have no doubt they'll get to the others down the line, theyre just too useful to be left out.

3. Pandemic Legion - one of the most well known and certainly one of the most succesful null sec entities, they could have picked goons but I think theyre as tired of the DEVswarm tinfoil bullshit as the rest of us (dont kid yourself that it wouldnt have come up if they had picked goonswarm) and they could have chosen BoB but i guess they prefered someone who still exists.

It also shows that they arent just looking at application writers and community personalities, that just being damn good at what you do in game for a very long time can also get a mention.

I assume you have any proof at all for any of these accusation? LIke actual proof right?



As Elektrea said, most working fleet comps short of alpha fleet have been in someway shape or form taken from us, the current use of supercaps and their roles was in part developed off models that we use.

The outright usage of logistics ships in combat was developed first and foremost by us when we realized how crappy we were with RR BS and how we kept accidentally shooting each other when we wanted to rep.

I mean it may not seem like much to you but dictating the shape and pace of combat for an entire game for 3-4 years straight now is an achievement by any standards.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get yours in 4 or 5 years.

OK I''ll accept that answer... I bet the median sized corp though is less then 50 (probably less then 10 where is CCP_Diagoras? )
