Farewell, chums! Rifterlings is moving on (and up)!

Throughout the recent warzone victory of the Minmatar over the blundering Amarr slavers, Rifterlings has again and again proven their combat prowess and ability to overcome any obstacle for warzone domination. Flying either under the banner of Ushra'Khan or independently, we have always had grand success at coming out victorious. However, given the recent trouncing of Amarr forces and the subsequent dying-down of the FW arena, we have decided to move on... and up!

We have been in continuing negotiations with a variety of nullsec alliances about a possible new home. The outcome? We will be rebuilding bridges burned long ago, and making peace with Curatores Veritatis Alliance (CVA) as we join them in settling and securing Providence. We will be providing roaming support both as light fleets (to repel pirates) and as tackle, scouting and other light support for large combat fleets. We will also be playing a front-line role in a campaign for expansion into new space, though unfortunately I cannot divulge more details at this time.

Anyway, thanks for all the fish! And, if you are also tired of the FW warzone and would like to join us, we are expanding our recruitment in the coming weeks in order to bolster our numbers. Enemies and allies are welcome, as faction standings are irrelevant in nullsec.

Cheers! o7

Yes, I am quite excited about the move. FW has been pretty boring since we crushed the slavers. I'm ready to try living in nullsec. Considering the upcoming resource rebalance, now's a good time go to nullsec.

Personally I feel that this will be a great new direction for us. As I sat in the warzone getting constant fights and leading my small group of elite frigate/destroyer/cruiser pilots I often felt that my lack of mining was depriving me of a true "EvE experience". Thankfully that ill all be rectified soon, and with the incorporation of fully open recruitment, the dawn of Point Blank Alliance has come.

I see what you did there.

One of the funnier things about this thread is that according to Provibloc KoS list, you'd still be red with most of Amarr militia.

Nobody said we wouldn't keep up a presence in the warzone. By using the JB system, we can get to KBP7-G easily, from which Kamela is 3 jumps out (KBP7-G -> Dital -> Choonka -> Kamela). In fact, it may turn out that we have better access to the warzone front lines than we do from our current staging system.

Upon hearing this direction I was elated. As many of you know, rifterlings now spends 90-110% of our time mining, WHing, and salvaging wreaks from other fleets. Moving out to 0.0 will allow us to bear in peace without pesky FWeddit blobs or "amarrain butt hurt" interfering with our care bearing activities. No longer will we have to worry about people bringing PvP into our plexes and asteroid belts or the Amarr deciding that the war zone is worth fighting over and taking away our missioning stations.

I can't see going to null sec for the pvp. But if you are going for carebear reasons that makes sense. I anticipate ccp will be throwing allot of isk at null sec in the "farms and fields" expansion.

Either way sorry to see you go, been fun fightin y'all.

Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

i think this is a bit of an oversimplification. We have always been willing to PVP as a means to secure resources. Point Blank Alliance will have plenty of fleets out camping chokepoint gates to keep out invaders.

I for one am appalled by the direction Petrus Blackshell has taken the corp in. Under his leadership, a mere few dozen players have managed to squander thousands of ships to little or no gain.

I will be leaving Rifterlings to form a new FW corp, Naglisks, that will be dedicated to high-stakes capital warfare and pvp excellence. Please shoot me an evemail if you are interested. (No time wasters; characters with <60 million SP need not apply).

Further, each applicant will need to provide proof of at least 3 below-class solo kills and must have proof of link alt.

Are you implying that the OP's post was--- was--- FAKE!?!?!?!?!?!

Sad

I was expecting some real drama... too bad it's just more lameness on the part of the Rifterlings. Sad
