Intergalactic Summit

I'm abandoning J142918. I've checked it a few times now and I'm not convinced there's anything out of the ordinary here. Also the roaming stealth bombers are making me twitchy.

If anyone else is still interested in this system the static has relocated to the Akhrad system (Ammatar space, 1 jump into lowsec). There's also currently an entrance in the Hadji system (Genesis region, 0.5 Amarr). Anyone who makes the trip should be aware that an alliance lives here.

I fear with these new picture leaks of black sleeper ships, that the sleepers may have access
to carrier technology.

A Sleeper carrier is bad. A sleeper carrier when we cannot counter with dreads or carriers of our own is worse.

Somewhere out there, there's probably some kid with a 3D modelling suite laughing his hump off at freaking people out.

That said, I could swear I've seen this notation as well. Can't exactly place where though.

Wait, isn't this the teaser for "Galactic Conquest 2" VR game? I was hoping they would add some new factions, I quite enjoy playing it in my pod while I have spare time.

((@Anne O'Reilly, @Omega Tron here, that should help))

Sansha carriers were bad enough.

I've seen Rifters hit from over 100KM out by sleeper cruisers.

Simply wandering the shadows looking about is not solving anything. I'm wondering if it's time to load up a Scorpion with every last bit of electronics gear the cargo will take and as many scientists and start probing not where we think activity will be, but where we think concerned parties might go? Like a mobile listening post?

Anybody willing to take that on as an impromptu AJ project I'll offer up a research grant to help pay for the hull, or I will do it myself. We'll need to get the equipment and people together on short order and one capsuleer to fly it and a concerted effort of the best systems to send this platform to and find out if anything.

back to the best way to find something, dont look for it.

why else would one deploy a cloak?

I for one don't hide from ants. Think about it. You don't hide from something you can defeat; you simply ignore it. You hide from a predator. If you are looking at the whole picture, we are the predators, and the Sleepers and Empire/Pirate navies are easily our prey.

What you are suggesting is that something more is going on than we can comprehend. In this you are correct. There are plans in motion that we are not privy to. We do not fully understand how the wormholes function and it is obvious that we are being observed. CONCORD uses us to collect pieces of Sleeper technology.

We are powerful game pieces. We are, however, limited in utility. We are fractured, we are few, and we are vulnerable.

Add to this lack of communication and territorial behavior and we have a perfect storm of dysfunction that blinds us to any potential threat or discovery. Personally I would suggest what should have been suggested long ago. A Summit of our own. An attempt to lay out a potential plan of action if the wind should shift and we (capsuleers) find ourselves the targets of the "puppet masters" playing our strings.

Before the inevitable misunderstanding rears it's ugly head, I'm not talking about a symposium like the Seyllin Conference.

I'd be curious if any sort of progress could be made, or if we will continue to be tools. I'm also far too busy to organize such a thing myself. However if I have the time and resources I'd gladly participate.

I believe you misunderstood my statement. My skills and talents--not to mention time--lie elsewhere, and while I would gladly assist, I do not have the skill to lead such a monumental task. I would rather voice an opinion that something should happen, regardless of intent to follow through, than not voice it at all. Perhaps my idea will spark the interest of another.

Yes! We must reclaim our humanity before it is too late! Before the Storm...
