This

December was a bad, bad month, could see you guys sliping from the outside, so the fact that you rallied so well, ripped billions out of tenerifis inside of a few days under some harsh new regime, and still remained the odd bunch of guys with really weird sencences of humour makes me proud to be half a 5punker again

On a side note, Quin, did I give you some ship production arrays, an ammo array and a module array?

What're BS.I's plans by the way? Just curious. (Thankfully I'm not a cat)

Oh yeah, they must be a bit pissed off having had such a mission getting down here, only to have to turn around and go all the way back again!

We're ment to have a plan?

The exact details are still being, urm, discussed, but as we see it, there's 3 options (With getting the hell outa dodge in tenerifis being the only solid thing right now)

1) Go back to empire, lark about, run missions and mine to build up the war reserves we need to put our more long term plans into action
2) Stick with ISS, come have a nose about geminate, but if shit hits the fan leg it (Personially, almost my prefered option)
3) Go join D2, stick with them for a few months to build up some large scale fleet experience again while abusing the resources in northern tenal like mad to build up a war chest. (That's the least likely one, last time BS.I was this fragile and we went into a major alliance in the middle of a war, the corp died)

Problem is we've got too many headstrong people in the corp hell bent on having their say and how they want it. There's only a few peple who are willing to put down what they want and go with trusting management over what's gona be best for the corp. We should be having some kind of directions meeting in the next few days (Which I'm really looking forward to ) to decide upon a direction, but whatever we do we're going to iriate someone.

Honestly though, got a bad feeling in my gut about it all. If we stick in empire, people stop working together, corp risks falling appart. Saying we'll go abuse tenal is all well and good, but I had a hard enough time trying to get people to mine in tenerifis, and I don't see how a change of location will change that. Lastly, while I like ISS, there's a percentage of the corp who don't so staying here rubs them up the wrong way, and several people now could triger an exodus.

hate being management

you could always come back to 5punkorp

after serving a month probation in fw4ppers of course

Been very tempted over the last week, but right now isn't the time. If I leave again now, BS.I'll die again and I don't want killing the same corp twce on my consicence. If we can get the corp happily established in a new place, and someone other than me runs the industry show, possibly.

fuck it, bring some of them with you!

BlackSilk is good for a larf and Sinister Boris has a top name

Part of it, but there's always more. Problem is as before, most of the old Bs.I guys I didn't invite to 5punk because I knew 1) They wouldn't fit in and 2) People didn't want me turning 5punk into BS.I mk2. Same situation here, only it's me not wanting to turn 5punk into BS.I mk3. Right now you diserve better than that, given how we are currently.

Silky, oddly enough, is one of the people I feel most at odds with atm. He's seemingly hell bent on going north, and sinnys having some serous RL stuff (Like his liver dying) that's preventing him from playing much, and when he does he's not the party animal he was.

Flaiming stupid how one bad op can destroy moral so horribly.

fair do's! It's a damn long time since i've been in proper contact with them so I will totally trust your assessment and not steal peoples from BS.i.

Meh, they're welcome to join. We're not so touchy feely anymore - compulsory ops, booting inactives - although we still give everyone in the corp (and indeed ex-corp) a say in where we go and what we do, we no longer try to please everyone. We go with the majority vote and everyone else either likes it or lumps it.

If we are moving Fw4ppers 'oop North' what are we doing with the Jaymass POS? Give me a dig if it needs packed up and I'll set Cyrinn on it.

If my memory servers me correctly the system between BWF and Empire is a 0.4 so you may be able to get away with putting it in there

(and I think there is a complex in there too but I don't think it's a very tough one mind)

It is, there's also more low sec systems leading from that system if you dont want to be right on the entrance to 0.0.

I agree with that ^

You agree with Fea thinking? Well that's good to know

Yus, if you could also get Spear to help you clear out the hangars and the lab, I'll be able to help this weekend with teardown/moving it.
Also,if you know of a good system that's off the path somewhat we could set up an Empire office in. I'm sure 5punk will want one on the Empire side of things that's not too pricey as well.

I'll try to get everything except tower and guns down and moved to Hoth tomorrow. I won't be around at the weekend I don't think but if I get that much done there will be less to do come Sat/Sun.

If you want to avoid carrier jumping the fw4ppers POS contract it to Fear Reticle and I'll haul it up to Airk somewhere. I had a look for quiet suitable systems and from looking at the map I can't see any obvious ones. They all seem a bit piratey.

I can also help haul the fw4ppers hanger contents but if that is full of ships and minerals it would be better suited to a freighter. Modules and that sort of thing no problem.
