Alliances et Corporations – Recrutement

Bonjour,

Après cinq semaines de combats sans perdre un système, la guerre contre Lumpy a pris fin : nous avons notamment échangés 6 systèmes contre 14 nouveaux systèmes situés dans le Sud Ouest de Catch.

Après réorganisation et repositionnement, nous recherchons toujours :
- pilotes courageux, endurants, et aux nerfs d'acier, n'ayant pas peur des flottes en anglais ni des retournements de situation.
- capable de ratter et/ou miner et/ou produire pour approvionner nos marchés, devenir riche et accessoirement augmenter nos ADMs. Néanmoins pour les CTA nous demandons aux pilotes de participer sérieusement, nous sommes toujours en conflit contre Legio.
- nouveaux joueurs bienvenus : nous sommes un peu plus disponible actuellement pour nous occuper de nouveaux pilotes.
- pilotes de jump-freighters et de dreadnoughts.

Nous proposons :
- flotte d'alliance plutôt en anglais,
- solo/small gang soit en corpo, soit en alliance, soit en flotte d'entosis (qui sont cool pour ça).

Outre les précédents profils spéciaux recherchés, nous sommes intéressés par :
- Négociateur émérite, apte à négocier sous haute pression en gardant un sang-froid inébranlable. Une expérience de négociateur auprès du GIGN ou du RAID sera considérée comme un plus.
- Pilotes parlant russe apte à comprendre la culture et les méthodes russes. Une pratique orale développée est nécessaire.

Associated Stellar Company : une petite corporation européenne à dominante francophone, plutôt parisienne, présente sur plusieurs timezones, et où on parle english, français et suédois.

Si vous souhaitez mieux nous connaître, venez nous rencontrer le samedi 22 octobre au restaurant La Tute à Paris ! Contactez nous par avance.

Contacts pour nous rejoindre :
- Whyname,
- Moi.

A+

Hello Guys,

So today we had our first participlation to a tournament, the Tyrian Trophy 2016 ! It was full of stress, emotion and fun lol

1st Match against Make Amarr Great Again

We started varound 13:00 with Roto, then Daemonic joined. Then Cathleb was cool and accepted to join us last minute, and Link arrived just in time from his flight lesson :)
Wyk also joined in case of last minute replacement was needed, and indeed he was able to replace Link for the 2nd match as Link had real stuff to attend.

Cathleb did help us a lot, big thank to the best smurf of us :) We had to rework some fits as we discovered only 1 local repper per ship was allowed. Also we spend lot lot of time to understand what implants we had to fit in order to comply to the rules that were asking to fill all implant slots. Two were able to use drug i think, not more due to skill requirements.
/moveme command and /omega command saved some of us on the test server lol

We got ready on gate as per the instruction, and then moved again in the correct system and gate this time lol When instructed by Nikolai, we jumped in and warped to the arena of 100 km with an mobile at the center. The opposite fleet landed, and we opened fire on a maller, putting him into armor until the referee told us the match had not yet started, so we got in position again, and started again. Another issue we had was to know which ship was the opposite team and which ones were the referee team, because on test server all appear on overview hum.

The opposite team has a harbinger 2 x maller and 2 x omens. We had 1 prophecy 2 x vexor 1 exequror and 1 maulus. We finally focused on their omens, shooting one, and then putting the 2nd omen into armor if i remember. Except that in the meantime their dps was overwelming us, they primaried our logi, and then we got shot pretty quickly. So it was over for us.

Fits we used on 1st match (i think) Smurf Vexor Roto Marzenia's Exequror Attack Link Glujaz's Maulus
Some lossmails : Xantarus Xeres Kill: Xantarus Xeres (Prophecy) Roto Marzenia Kill: Roto Marzenia (Exequror) Daemonic San Kill: Daemonic San (Vexor) Cathleb Seryon Kill: Cathleb Seryon (Vexor)
Link Glujaz Kill: Link Glujaz (Maulus)
Killmail : Link Glujaz Kill: KitCat 01 (Omen) not sure if we kikked 2nd omen or not, so i consider not.

2nd match against RvB

We had only 45 mn before the second match, so we had to re-plug new implants (referrees poded all pilots after match to check implants) and fit new ships. We decided to make some changes to our armor set up following the 1st match. Cathleb provided good insight again and we decided to go with a brutix 2 x vexor 1 x thorax and 1 x blackbird, so no logi and more dps.
It was really really short to get fits and ships ready. Wyk arrived in time to replace Link who had to go for real stuff.

We warped to the gate, and at signal we jumped again into the Arena ! This time we faced 2 brutix 1 thorax and 2 punishers, so all dps again. They burnt into us, so we went opposite direction so we could kite a bit. This time it was more longer. We focused on their thorax first, he tanked a bit, we got jammed a lot (my brutix was jammed 60% of the match), we finally killed their thorax. In the meantime they had shot some of us, and then we focused on their punishers, we killed their frigates, and then it was my brutix against their two brutix, but the match was over. My ship went over the boundary and took too much time to come back within 100 km, anyway they still had more points on the field and RvB won the match.

Fits we used on 2nd match (not completly accurate as we made changes litterally until last second) : Wyk Wyk > Roto boomvex > Cathleb Seryon smurf > Xantarus Xeres Brutix > Daemonic San Daemonic San's Vexor
Some loss mails : Cathleb Seryon Kill: Cathleb Seryon (Thorax) Daemonic San Kill: Daemonic San (Vexor)
Killmails : Roto Marzenia Kill: Quel 'Thalas (Thorax) Xantarus Xeres Kill: Jasper Sinclair (Punisher)
Xantarus Xeres Kill: Y'talana Ktra'a (Punisher)

VIDEOS maybe: https://www.twitch.tv/eve_nt_tv/v/104988945 from mn 56 for 1st match
https://www.twitch.tv/eve_nt_tv/v/105008989 from mn 13 for 2nd match. I haven't seen the video as it doesn't work for me, tell me if you find them on youtube plz.

It was generally a totally new experience for us, i think we all enjoyed, of course we can learn from it and hopefully improve :) I'm very happy that we were able to field team for both match despite two team members who had real life stuff at last minute, we accept and have no issue with that, and we're happy that cathleb and wyk accepted to join us at last minute. Keep in mind : Test lost their 1st match because they couldn't field a team lol

4 Big Big thank you :
1/ to Cathleb ze best Smurf : he did help a lot with last minute fits and good advises he gave, without him it would have been terrible lol
2/ to Wyk who burnt to us last minute to help us and be part of the adventure :)
3/ to Sir Bly who couldn't be here today but who worked a lot on preparing our set ups and initial fits.
4/ A big big thank you to Nikolai the organizer and his team ! I know he was overwelmed with many things to do at the same time, but he managed to do it ! Of course some things can be improved, but that's easy to say and the organizers made mainly good work !

We can now think about this experience, and see if we can do a kind of volt tournament !

See you, big thank you !

Bonjour,

Il est désormais possible de publier que notre corporation avait prévu de mettre en ligne une Fortizar en rentrant de Eve Paris.

Cette Fortizar avait déja une longue histoire. Nous en avions fait l'acquisition déja ancrée au sein d'une constellation conquise cet été. Nous l'avions revendu à des Russes à l'occasion d'un déménagement en octobre.

Nous avions alors procédé à l'acquisition d'une autre Fortizar, alors encore un staging de l'alliance. Après quelques semaines, le staging de notre alliance a également été déménagé.

Nous avons alors décider de remballer cette Fortizar pour la repositionner dans un système stratégique.

Au final nous avons pris la décision de l'ancrer dans le staging principal de notre coalition StainWagon. Nous savions que l'opération était très risquée. Nous avons pris la décision de tenter le coup, car cette Fortizar aurait été la première de notre alliance dans le staging principal de la coation, et ce d'autant plus que n'ayant pas la souveraineté de ce système, le délai d'ancrage était d'une semaine au lieu de deux jours.

L'opération a été lancée alors que la Keepstar de M-O venait dêtre renforcée pour la seconde fois dans le nord de Eve. Notre Fortizar serait ainsi mise en ligne au moment où la Keepstar de M-O faisait l'objet d'une bataille gigantesque. Nous avons fait le pari que Trimumvirate, Pixel et Lumpy iraient également tuer la Keepstar.

Après Eve Paris, nous nous sommes donc connecté. Nous avions une flotte à M-O pour avoir des informations sur qui y était. L'objectif était de procéder de manière Ninja, le pari était simple : ca passe ou ca casse !

Ca a cassé. Triumvirate a fait le choix de rater un killmail à 300 billions (certes, dangereux) pour venir tuer notre Fortizar à 14 billions. Ils sont intervenus avec environ 120 pilots de Rattlesnakes.

RIP belle Fortizar.

Nous assumons nos pertes, nous sommes heureux d'avoir eu l'occasion de faire ce genre de paris ! Nous ne manquons pas d'émotions fortes :)

L'essentiel est que nous restons unis, et nos activités continuent !

A très bientôt pour vous faire connaître la suite de nos aventures spatiales :)

Engagez vous !

Bonjour,

Ci après copie de mon mail d'hier 10 Janvier, et qui je pense nous décrit bien. Je laisse volontairement dans la langue de Shakespeare :

Hello friends,

1/ Who we are

I am Mr Nobody, but today I would like to share my little point of view.

What are we ? We are Volt. Each and every one of us. Volt means freedom. Freedom means we are free to leave whenever we want. We are here because we like it. We are here because we meet each others. Quite a number of us have met in real. We had drinks, restaurant, we explored the real parts of our space co-pilots.

2/ Some facts

Since last summer, we fought Lumpy. 5 weeks of strong defense, fact is that we didn't lose any sov structure.

We then fought Vanguard Coalition. Just read on Reddit that they won it. I'm glad i read Reddit, i had not noticed. Not a single system lost during that second war.

Some may have noticed we are now facing a third war. In 9 days, our ennemies have created dozens of timers (I stoped counting), using hundreds and thousands of ships. We won 90% of these timers. Not a single Volt system was lost. Not a single Volt station was lost. 3 Volt Ihubs were destroyed, and replaced by Volt. Today, all Volt timers were won again (good job guys!)

Coalition wise, two systems were lost, two Ihubs destroyed, and a station.

3/ Human Feelings

Yes, we are facing a challenge. Yes, the ennemy might outnumber us. You are in your ship, you see the numbers of ennemies climbing in local. Are you afraid ? Yes. Good! This is normal, it means that you are healthy.

Now, look at your co-pilot on the left. He is a Berliner, he came by bus to Amsterdam to meet you. Look to your co-pilot on the right. He came from Wisconsin to meet you, remember that nice restaurant. Check your squad commander's name. He is from Anvers, remember he was the one with the super early alarm clock at first day light. Now, you see friendship in their eyes, they are smiling back to you. You are all one, you are Volt, and you feel good.

This time, look in front of you. You see the ennemy. You look at him straight in the eyes, in the white of his eyes, with respect and determination. Now, you know it : you will hold the line, whatever their numbers. You feel your Komrad at your side, it gives you confidence. You fight for your friend, with your friend, for your territory, for your assets.

They can outnumber us, we have strong determination. Let's keep our spirit clear of any drama, let's listen to fcs. You act with your brain, you are being proactive, you launch fleet, you defend each and every timer that appears, avoiding the ennemy blob, being smart.

4/ My assets

That red pilot you're loking straight in the eye, he is making a mistake. He thinks we will give him everything we have. He is proposing to buy our assets, our soul. One of them mailed to buy space stuff from my corp. Well, that guy is dreaming. Me and my corpmates, i only speak for my corp of course, we are in agreement : no way. We will rather watch each and every of our assets burn in fire one by one. Each timer we will try to defend whenever possible, each timer will be reported. Ennemy will have to grind down one by one. Resisting we shall : this is our mission young padawans !

5/ Skill Training Plan

If you followed Alliance Centralized Skill Plan, you have now reached Strong Resolution level V. This allows us to start training "Being even more stubborn", it is advised to also train this skill to level V.

Final Victory is getting closer !

See you,
Xan
