EVE General Discussion

Funny story; and cautionary tale of the evils of saki


A few corps back, our CEO (dude's name insnt important cause he sold that character after this - no joke) decided he wanted a POS in low sec. We were a highsec corp, mostly mission runners and miners, a few ppl interested in PVP.
We'd joined a fairly large industrial alliance the day before.
They had no PVP corps

Anyhoo, our CEO finds this neat little pocket of lowsec surrounded by jumps and jumps on highsec. He decides this is the perfect place to put it. A friend an I scout out the area and tell him it belongs to S I L E N T. an we really dont wanna **** with them.

He says this:
"Its OK, theres highsec all around the low sec area. The only way they could get cap ships into the area would be to have built them in the low sec pocket an that would be stupid."
-mind you I had at this point never even SEEN a cap ship, an had no idea how jump drives even worked, assumed (lol) he knew what he was talking about, I let it go. My friend, was trying to talk him out of the idea for a week.

The POS is anchored, and onlined. During this process, a Proteus is seem in system, but it doesnt bother anyone. We decide to name the thing something like Aegis Shield POS and are all proud that we have a low sec POS. My friend is saying we may wanna think about leaving the corp.

An hour later...
Im on Teamspeak when a random guy in the POS starts yelling about ships warping into the system, and seeing reds, stuff like that. Im curious, engage a jump clone, grab a shuttle, and hop to the POS.
There was a Revelation, another DN and a good 300 support ships all in a tight cluster around the POS, blowing the hell out of it.
The fight was short, we hadnt had the chance to put much into the thing so it didnt last long, we didnt even have guns on it. The alliance guys kinda shook their heads at our CEO's stupidity, and was gonna move on.

Then they war decced the alliance

Our CEO went "Well... good luck with that guys, im gonna leave an go to 0.0 to see how the big corps work"
He docked, an I didnt see him again for like 6 months

We quit the corp the night of the wardec, given that the writing was on the wall for that corp, I watched S I L E N T.'s killboards for a few weeks afterwards, an yeah they were having fun.

To this day, the CEO thinks this was the funniest thing he ever did in EVE.

Now Im starting to see that corps that charge money to join bad be a bad sign lol
