Well you'll get no drama from me on this episode because i am here to push the ideal of a blue community in NPC 0.0.

I have done a few things differently this time because i learned that most of the drama comes from people who are not committed to the cause. I have made it so that we will not be blue'ing just anyone unless they can contribute something to the community. With this method I can focus my attention on people who are committed.

Looking back on all the drama I have ever been involved in I have been able to identify a trend, that trend is these people are in no way shape or form prepared to accept any kind of advice, council or suggestions from myself. I'm gonna try this without the drama queens and simply work with people who have constructive methods and a keen desire to be part of a team. You drama merchants have seriously drained my energy over the years..BUT NO MORE!!!

None of you reading this are stupid, I know this. I think the goal of populating Stain needs to be looked at more carefully, because I have been out here mostly alone and I have/can achieve a high level of success for myself using well thought out techniques. For people to think that I have nothing to teach them about survival and success in the face of danger is disparaging and 100% in-accurate

I will be patient with all of you and i will be cool if some of you do decide to give this a go. We can't just leave stain bare and void of life, that would be silly in my opinion. More of us should set-up here and open the possibilities to more content.

I have much more to offer than just drama.

I can't wait for the days when people from all over the Eve universe want to come and fight hub zero fc's, I like fights where both teams are managing their reps and the fight is close to a stalemate. Fights like these show a high skill level where it could come down to one side making a mistake or simply losing cap.

Please try to see that this is a serious opportunity to make some great content.

Let this be quoted FOR ALL ETERNITY !

... y'know. Just in case.

Actually, "no drama this time" would be a good selling point to everyone familiar with your work, Aaron. Keep that promise up.

Here comes a time, ganker,

When blingfits cease to sparkle,

When hermophite looses its luster,

When the station hangar becomes a prison

And all that is left is a capsuleer's love for his fedo.

Oh boy ! This again? Talk about beating a dead horse , I hope someone summarizes this thread cuz It took forever to read through the last super thread where after the smoke dust finally settled from its destruction, your right hand man and you had some disagreements on just why your dream failed.

Ill give ya one thing , you sure are resilient and that is certainly admirable. No matter how many times you fail at the exact same thing, your not afraid to step up to the plate and swing your little heart out again and again. Your drive to achieve your Utopian null sec is honorable. You certainly are optimistic - Good luck and best wishes




Being resilient and being stubborn are close to one another yet one is good and the other is bad ... Blink

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Hello again Orion,

Hub Zero is a logical venture, the pilots involved will have an opportunity to exploit systems which are void of life and have access to untold riches. A few people are skillful enough to unlock the riches of Stain and have done so. I want to lay the foundation for the next generation of Eve pilots and show them that it's really difficult to stop someone who has a well thought out and bold play style.

At the moment we have a few guys ready to throw down dps, not many, enough to lay a foundation.

I have a question for you Orion, What is it that you desire?

If you are interested I can assure you that we won't be blue'ing the type of player who causes problems and brings drama, we are prepared to take our time and wait to ensure the people we blue don't mind listening.

Actually the common denominator in all of the drama is you, and your inability to see your own strengths and weaknesses. I didn't see what happened to your experiment in 2009 because that was before my time, but I'm reading the archives of it and golly gosh if it doesn't bear a striking resemblance to the thread about Hub Zero from 2014.

I'm looking forward to another spectacular meltdown.

Well all assets are still in the stations collecting dust.
Also I had the enemy carebears doing the dull work for me and they actual supplied our markets without their knowledge I can set that up again.
I have to see what the status is with that and maybe start it up again, because I like seeing carebears working for their corp members and it actual goes to the other side.
Don't worry they can't avoid it I have that covered even if they read this stuff. But I have to check if they still exist and if the logistics route is still alive etc. etc.

I work with spreadsheet in space but the sheets don't work anymore because google docs....
So, if I can get my head to it I might try to get that working again.
That will tell me what to provide what I gain from it and if it is available from my resources.

But there is always an but.

Each market place had about 15bil of assets in the market in the old days I am not really in the mood to reset this enormous mountain of assets in the market every week because I am providing stuff for 10 people or so.

Basically I am asking you to get your **** together with a good group of players and maybe I can fill the market again.
Also I am not going to discuss the market prizes anymore they are not that bad and jump freighters are expensive.

So, we could start up the research in Stain again and move the bpo's to the required stations, we still have blackops, and all that stuff etc. so we probably stay alive moving them.

We don't require anything from whatever we can do it our self and it is still in Stain we need to see what the status is in Stain an d adjust our tactics.

So basically I am providing you an starter market and you don't shoot my pilots.

Or I stay killing carebears in high sec where the real PVP is also Hail James 315.

Are you guys willing to buy a mining permit also?

Well, this is going nowhere fast. I don't think we're going to recapture the magic this time. Here's a suggestion:

Aaron and jadecougar are two of the more dysfunctional/delusional famous (wannabe) 'leaders' in EVE's history. You should team up and share your adventures.

You're saying you perceive this as communism?

I see this as an example of socialism. A community of blues contribute their time into destabilizing local threats and are successful to the extent where the threats can't operate there and move. The result of this is the blue community securing their earning potential and having a reasonably safe area to earn in. We even plan to have some guys further up the pipe reporting possible threats coming down the pipe, again, the lookouts will be contributing their time to ensure no one loses ships.

Now the above example would not have been possible if no one contributed their time into the pvp ops to secure the area. I hope you can see why contributions are important Shiloh. Even noobs can contribute lots Hub Zero has helped lots of noobs become great pilots.

This venture is actually in your hands too Shiloh, Come down and help us scout, come and sell your wares on the market, make ships for us and we will buy them from you at a great price. We can then use these contributions and make a safe haven for you Shiloh.

I've created an in-game chat channel for anyone who has any queries.

Hub-Zero Public

Feel free to hang there if you want to get a feel for whats going on before you commit to coming down.

Things are going well so far, I did a hi sec run to jita today to replenish some much needed supplies while a few friends of mine went on a roam around the area. I think we have chosen a great area and I'm looking forward to more like-minded people joining us.

Well he could give me a bil for marketing effort Lol

What I´m saying up there (and below this) is that Aarons` thing might not work because he has not counted in all variables and unforseen happenings, where kicking awoxer with red standing out of alliance is only option for a whole thing to work, and is not willing to create Hub Zero to be controlled or monitored in a proper manner, when there are some "sabotage idiots" shooting friendlies and stranges (causing wars and drawing griefers/spies)...

Sorry from this example about RL poIitics ISD (i hope you read it and see it is not attack against anything, just describing links of uncontrallable, even accidental happenings, but still just "matter of time" events), but, yeah...

Think Aaron here is more like the (new noob right wing populist) foreign affairs minster of Finland, who very recently followed EU regulations of sanctions into a last drop of bureautic letter, by not allowing some Russian politics here to celebration of 1975 Helsinki-process 40 years ago, and soon Russia started to threateing with more sanctions against Fineland as a "hostile country" (while we now have still majority towards neutrality, there is exploding numbers of NATO-supporters now, thing Russia wanted to prevent in Ukraine, but might have caused it in Russians northern border, and NATO supporters will sure be soon majority if things go this way too long), that in turn will make EU as a whole increase sanctions against Russia very hard, as we just followed EU-rules...

What a mess. You should expect something like that.

Idea compacted Aaron: How will you CONTROL chaos that results when nasty people infiltrate this area pretending to be friends, but just attack others there (and strangers in hope they bring retaliation and war there later)?

Without alliance you have just no way to kick out/make "friendly" hostile infiltrators of Hub Zero red-targets for rest of the group, quick enough atleast (to satisfy all, every corp/alliance then there must each separately set these people red too, with delay)...

Sure, alliance can be easily wardecked if one pilot shoots wrong guy..
But i see it happening anyway, allied or not...

EDIT: And not to forget that alliance propably has most best ways of keeping track of blues and reds with fastest updates (before some griefer goes through every system around killing unsuspecting other "neutrals").

The system is simple an updated mail will tell you who is blue or red.

That was not the issue at that time.
