Werd. Everything we want to do in Empire we can still do, with the options that 0.0 affords. ISS isn't dead, it might not be a major player anymore but that will allow us to make isk, not spend it..

I repeat, WERD.

I'm in. (If I'm allowed back)

I am not going to apply right away though because I will be more useful being un-war-decced. I can haul ravens and stuff across empire for you.

My industrial alt (sorta like a baby-mano) is set up now and can take care of my production/mining/etc single handed. Fear Not can have fun somewhere.

For those who don't know me, I'm Caldari, can fly ceptors and all tech 1 caldari (not capitals). Cyno pilot also. General dogsbody with anchoring, etc.

Regarding the station thing (or anything else helpful) - providing its not major work I am happy to help out and with the added bonus I can be online in the day most days. I am not actively wanting to do anything, only offering to help out if it is useful in anyway.

Dres doesn't want to give up mining the shiny ores, not after all the training they took! I realize I'll need to learn other ore types, but mining is ok. How far are we going to be from Khank though? Gotta find another ship to go pew pew in out there.

If we just get followed by IAC and crew though, I'm definitely gonna be bummed. I'd hoped for better with our move, but I'm not ready to resign myself to mining in Empire and running missions yet.

how can i turn an old ratting partner down. i like the idea, those rats r pwn'd big time. (What faction items do they drop? Gisti by chance? /me prays that would make her day)

little bummed though no ark, only got 37 hours more for arkonor V.

i am not the WERD type so I'll go :boogie:

DP

PS

Most know i despise fleet but we got this War in empire with a bunch of people called privateers. since we got to run through empire to get there lets have a few 5punk fleet ops in empire. lag free pvp, scare the crap out of them, they don't expect it. oh anyone see Goons war declared us too. \o/

/me buys an apoc and mines the shit out of everything :)

[edit] oh balls, I just realised... an extra laser plus extra speedy lasers will mean I will have to time things even more precisely than before! Hell, damn nice problem to have :boogie: :excited: :thrust:

If everyone wants to give ISS another chance I will too. My account expires on the 6th March though and I think I may take a short eve break while Large Hybrid Turrets 5 trains. Can I stay in corp for the duration of that break? dont want to ruin my counter for time in corp :P

We're our own masters now (ISS that is) and claiming our own space like a conventional alliance. At the moment there are no plans to charge rent for corp sizes or belts or whatever. No doubt there will be a tax on the refinery and I don't know if there'll be rules on POS refineries either. The alliance will be concentrating on making the IPO work - it's in a sad state because it's been rather neglected during this war. We've still got a lot of details to work out.

Station management is a busy and fairly thankless task. I'm sure some of the habitual managers such as Lyrus or AoD will take up the task since narf I'd not wish it on anyone. It also rather ties you into the alliance and one thing I've learned is getting in too deep can be awkward.

Any chance someone with an alt up near 8MJ and BWF and a bit of spare time could go have a snoop around those system? It'd be nice to get an idea of which belts are good so we can get the drop on the best locations. Presumably it's caldari ice around there too...any ice belts nearby?

IIR there isn't a refinery in the station in BWF (or at least there wasn't last time I was up there which admittably about a year ago) but there is a station in Empire 2 jumps out :)

Fear Not is logged out in empire 2 jumps from our new home. How fucking awesome is that. 2 jumps! No "pipes". Thank fuck. And it has all services.

I'd also say it is fairly pointless producing any ships with Jita about 10 jumps away - even if we just use mano to haul them closer to avoid WTs.

I know the constellation we're moving into. Before MC kicked their heads in, big blue build a private refining outpost 1J from bwf. And Friz, don't you still have some ore of mine in BWF? 8)

Damn you, you're making me want to rejoin now :roll:

On the other hand, it looks like Wiggy might outrun his usefulness in Soviet over the next couple of weeks so.... warm me a seat up will ya? ;)

If you'll have me, that is...
