Not just NPC null but Outer Ring, far away from anywhere. River mentioned running SoE missions out there, but there are no SoE agents there at all -- just ORE, offering only mining missions, and there are only two level 4 agents in the entire region.

It's going to be extremely rough rebuilding under those circumstances. I'm not sure how they're going to do it.

Almost seems like they trying to split the alliance, half will go to Outer Ring to "rebuild" Other half will pull a WIDOT and join Goons or Bastion as a merged single corp.

SMA left the Imperium? Ok, so NOW can we go back to calling it the CFC? Twisted

Things are happening so fast I can hardly keep up, and I'm fighting in this war. I was in the war against the Old NC, and that was a real fight compared to this.

See previous answer on your weird questions.

It's actually really handy that it's outer ring. See I have two main things going on in EVE, one is being with SMA, the other in building a hub in Solitude. This moves them close enough together that I can work between the two.

Always a great idea to make plans for the future, but even more so now!

Delve is where alliances go to die. Cloud ring is where dead alliances collapse.

Lucas will tell you, they're not dead. They're just pulling a tactical implosion, a smart choice given the odds.P

They say that Syndicate is the region where alliances go to die. That may very well be true. I don’t know. As a former resident of NM-OEA I do know, however, that Outer Ring is the bone orchard of alliances. It’s the place where the old graves of alliances are bulldozed over, and the whitened bones of them get crushed under the caterpillar tracks as they're turned up. What I want to say about this is… Outer Ring is not a salvation for anything.

A 2500+ alliance which goes there will quickly see itself become, at most, a 250 man alliance.

And that would be SMA tossing themselves off---errr---onto the rubbish heap of EvE history.

So this weekend I decided to run some high sec incursions to pass the time. The wait times do tend to get long on the weekends. But this weekend it was next level long. In my incursion community we signal we want to join a fleet via a web based waitlist that tells us where we are on the list and also what the average wait time is.

At one point the average wait time to get into the TVP fleet was 3+ hours. I glanced at Warp To Me's chat (I sometimes fly with them too) and people were complaining about the same thing. People were stacked up waiting like it was a 1970s gas station lol.

On a hunch I started checking out the employment histories of people talking in TVP's chat. OMG there were a lot of character that used to be in corps that used to be in SMA and a few other imperium alliances lol. If anyone decides to go looking for Space Monkeys, just fly to the nearest incurion focus and there you go Big smile

From a glance TVP had about 40 people in dps (sniper+dps?) wlist and WTM had around twenty. Still 2-3h wait time if you didn't get in right after downtime.

If you have any CONCORD LP, it might be a good idea to sell now, It's a good chance it's value is about to diminish a bit (probably not much though, CONCORD LP is pretty resilient because to can be converted). It happens any time there is a war (which shifts people out of null and into incursions) or nerf that affects null ratting.

basically you again hurt high-seccers with your small 0.0-sec war? Lol
