EVE General Discussion

We had a good day today.

We were able to get 650m in kills, a Maelstrom and a Gila. Both fights were great and we were happy that we were able to get such kills with a small group of guys and limited ships.

Our focus looks like its going to be resource gathering for a while because we realise this will cost if we have daily pvp. We have spoken to a few old HZ members and some of them are coming back to join us.

I am very happy with our progress and I have a good feeling about this attempt. At the moment we would like to invite noobs, solo players and 3 or 4 man corps. We will get round to inviting larger corps later on down the line. I believe lots of independent solo guys and small corps will create a great foundation which can be built upon.

Just wondering. Wasn't there another guy who tried to establish a nullsec utopia in Stain a while ago?

So many haters. Good luck Aaron. You know you're doing good work when you inspire so much vitriol in the plebs of EvE.

flakeys, thank you for showing interest in my gameplay, members of Second Dawn have already got involved in the PvP in Stain which you may have noticed, and I am suggesting to my members that they should try out the PvP there, after all I have lots of assets and ships there. I may at times go there for PvP, but that is the limit of my involvement.

I wish Aaron well, nothing much else to say on my part.

Meh we don't need drac for drama we have you Aaron .It just feels more comfortable with drac in the spotlights too.Having him not joining in is like one of your favourite characters of a soap get killed.

Good thing though , just as in a soap there allways is a new character stepping into the spotlights to take away that empty space OR a magical return of the ''dead actor'' ....

Ah, the old thread. What ever happened to Celes Steele and chicksdigmagnets and Roosterton?

This is the post that made me go check out the Hub the last time. But then Celes didn't really deliver and let Aaron continue to flail about so that was it for me.

I moved on to wormholes, which is where Aaron's group has belonged for 5 years, he just doesn't realize it.

I find it hard to contain my enthusiasm for this episode because I've had such a good time so far and met a few new and skilled people.

I seriously think Stain is the place for small corps and solo players, you know, the little guys of Eve. Lets make a combined effort to get some serious content going in Stain because we can. Forget all the propaganda about null it is a conspiracy which you shouldn't believe under any circumstance. Based on my experiences I believe we can make Stain whatever the hell we want.

Hi,

Progress seems great at the moment, we have been able to establish a Ship Replacement/Ship Financing program to ensure that we can cover losses and purchase T2 ships. We have all contributed to it in lots of ways and it appears the fund has close to 1 billion available which we have contributed to in this short space of time. So if you do come here to work with us you will be well taken care of.

New players are especially welcome here because we benefit from you growing with us and you benefit from being in the company of guys who combined have over 25 years worth of experience playing Eve Online.

I once had a great hi-sec experience working with new players about 5 years ago, I created an alt and joined a hi-sec corp where the guys were cool, all of the players were 10 to 15 days old and we had some great fun doing missions. After a couple of days we got war dec'ed and the CEO asked me if I could organise our defence. I told him I'd do my best....

So, we were ready to defend our hi-sec mission running operation, I managed to get 4 new guys to fit up super tanked thorax's I also had a thorax. We had been camped by a megathron and a cane for the past day and I decided enough was enough we we're gonna take our 5 thorax's and stand our ground. Because the players were so new less than 20 days old I knew we had to have a trick up our sleeve so I instructed all the guys to put an ECM module in their mid slot, all the guys complied.

I get them all to undock my heart is racing thinking what a failure this is going to be..PRIMARY THE HURRICANE!! all the guys primaried the cane it was going well...The cane and megathron start doing DPS on one of my guys....TARGET THE MEGATHRON AND ACTIVATE ECM ON HIM!!...the guys do it...oh my god...the megathron is jammed we can win...I was so excited that I threw a bit of roleplay in there...STRIKE HIM DOWN MY WINGMEN!!!!!!! said in a loud bold voice...all the guys laugh....the cane goes into hull and a few seconds later explodes...WARP OUT NOW!! I shout...Where to? one of them asks...ANYWHERE!!.. i reply.. We all got out and cheered for a good 5 minutes..the thrill of victory.

The war dec was retracted a few days after.

The story above only scratches the surface of whats possible, the fact we accomplished that with new guys less than 20 days old with meta 3/4 fits is interesting don't you think?. I would hope this story inspires you new players to come here and be a part of our community. Please, completely ignore anyone who tells you new players are limited in what they can do, I believe otherwise.

Today we killed almost 2 billion worth in ships on a local enemy who we are removing from the area. The kill frenzy got to a point where someone said they felt sorry for him, I felt sorry for him for a second but then I remembered all the assets I had lost in my quest to populate Stain for Hub Zero. I feel no remorse now, and anyone opposing Hub Zero will be dealt with in a harsh manner.

Hub Zero is on the up and were moving forward aggressively to secure the area from neuts and enemies, we've had some good success and we now have our laser sights aimed at other local troublemakers.

This is not a game anymore, nor is this a drama or soap opera, this is serious business. I'm appealing to all the small corps, solo guys and bitter vets out there to come and make stain your home. Forget Hi sec it's just full of trolls and griefers, please come to Hub Zero so the griefers and trolls follow you we will then kill them for you because they wont be protected by hi-sec rules.

Some of you are very wrong about this game, Eve is unique and I think it is here to stay just like me. I'll always be in Stain creating content. There are people on this thread who have given you the wrong impression of me and I would ask that you try to accept that it's just a form of pvp. Come and see our set-up in Stain for yourself once you do I can assure you that if you are on comms and getting involved you won't want to leave.

This is not alliance recruitment. We are organising blue status for people to be part of a blue community in Stain.
