Crime & Punishment

If it's Lowsec it's not on the cards. Only 1/2 the corp are PvPing all in all so the other half will not fare well there lol

But not the middle of a warzone . And no its not more safely done in low or null a corp of this many newbies attracts hotdrops like you wouldn't believe. Unless you were in brave then you might . Yah they mostly mission and mine for their income. Some only do those things but a good portion now do the PvP and defend their home when it is invaded by the evil wardeccers. What's been awesome lately is they are hitting the wardeccers back even when I'm offline. But this is something an island provides is realative isolation from 90% of the wardeccers and our few more experienced players provide logistics. The thing I feel the corp is struggling with now is a lack of ability to move its wares out and its needs in as they have gone from clearing a couple of belts a day in ventures to clearing entire systems. The ones who only casual PvP on a weekend and actually enjoy making things or mining (I know I know but I swear on my ALT's they do) need something to do. Otherwise I'd say screw it base outta 4-4 and let people try and camp the undock

Bumping this to ask how the folks are doing.
Can anyone be kind enough to make a tl;dr update?

I've got a highish SP (100mil or so) alt that I never use, it only be once a week or so because Marmite is on a good roll as well.

But I'd like to help out. Let me know mate

If you would like to hear a story of what some of your kind donations went into, then here is a story for you!

So a merry band of weapon wielding spaceships set out to cruise the night clubs around Amarr. Like all good guests, plenty of warning was given to our future arrival at the Amarr Emperor Academy. Once everybody was sorted out with the space skateboard they wanted to show up in, we headed off to the club, of course, to be greeted by the bouncers PIRAT.

Obviously, the mandatory ID checks needed to be done, of which a PIRAT nestor was first chosen to inspect our ages by means of bullets. There was much back and forth, but it was decided that this nestor was not going to be our doorman of choice. So we were forced to speak with one of his companions in a guardian. Guardians apparently less capable of checking IDs. As the guardian fell further into armor, the fellow guardian and nestor of PIRAT docked up, of which one could only assume on their coms a nice friendly, "Hey, um, good luck with your aggression timer". The Amarr club unfortunately did not offer admittance to their loyal patron https://zkillboard.com/kill/48748462/

At this point all the club employees were inside drinking cocoa, except for a lonely wittle Navy Megathron. So we commenced to send him the comment card that his friends were all inside and there is cocoa. As he slowly lost his armor, everyone waited for the inevitable dockup. HOWEVER, plot twist ensues! Out of that oh so popular Amarr station pipe a majestic third party Megathron emerges. Upon seeing that the PIRAT megathron was not clad in matching spaceship skin, full megathron on megathron ramming speed commenced, not once, but twice! Now stuck outside of docking range, faced with an angry megathron bumping and lots of people asking to come in, PIRAT was forced to allow admittance!

The happyness to be allowed in could only be broken by an interjection saying, "Hey guys, I have 1.2 billion in my cargohold." For not only was https://zkillboard.com/kill/48748514/ a doorman, but a doorman that had to do his job fully accessorized. Even this was not the end of the tale, as upon inspection of the capsule nab, it was found that indeed, EVERYTHING must scream monies! https://zkillboard.com/kill/48748516/

Finally with all the guns quieting, Amarr could get down to business. Which was immediately Market Tycoon yelling to stop so he could go back to trying to make money off kill rights, followed by PIRAT engaging in cordial conversation such as, "GOOD JOB BRINGING 19 pilots you blohards", caps retained for accuracy. To be fair, it was more than 19. Once the kills started to be linked though, there could be only one final debate topic. Whether or not Bavisto disconnected.

The trial of the Bavisto disconnection was a heated back and forth 3 or 4 minute debate, with the defense stating because he was killed at all, it was obviously a disconnection. Which was countered with eye witness testimony that the pod was seen moving back towards the station before the contents of said pod were splattered all over the windshields of a nearby ship.

In the end, the real circumstances around Bavisto's death might never be known.

Oh, and there is no embellishing in this story, Amarr really is a club with bouncers.

Again, thanks for all the help we have received! As many in the fleet had less than 4 million skill points, this one got on the highlight reel.

Edit: To give full props, it is believed that Dan Daaman was the bumping megathron(kronos) who has a real thing for skins.

Nice one, they must have had a bad night then. Because it wasn't their fist lost battle on that undock that day

Anyways a disconnect always saves the pod, so if you didn't have to scan it down with probes he didnt DC. Simple as that

And then we put a number of POCOs into reinforce.

That megathron...why? Some people have more money than sense.

Must have caught them at the right time, would've expected far more logi backup.

Oh, they had logi. Their Nestor had literally just docked up, and I think they had a couple of guardians as well. It was a mix of a fortuitous bump from a neutral megathron pilot, fail station gaming on pirat's part, our FC calmly choosing and calling targets, and all our pilots doing their jobs properly. I'm proud to be flying with these guys, that was the most fun I've had in months in this game.

Sounds like they had logi and somehow failed horribly on communication. I guess that fits with everything else I've heard about PIRAT here.

3 Guardians or Nestors should have been unbreakable by what you guys had but they decided to bail and some good samaritan neutral bumper had other ideas.

The unexpected friendly bumper is a pleasant surprise. I had a hyperion kill once because a kindly gent in a Machariel knocked him off station so I could slowly burn him down with my Vexor. I think I sent that guy some ISK.
