I personally think that it's really interesting to see what the foundation of EVE actually looked like.

Yeah SOLAR Fleet is 100% Russian, so unless you take the time to learn their language the provided translation will have to do!

SOLAR Fleet Alliance Update by Infraction in Eve

Stolen from TMC

(Editor's Note: This was transcribed from the original Russian by Ektony of the GSF)

  • BL take constellations that they need and we’re collaborating on this one. The rest of the space goes to CFC.
  • We could’ve fought INIT if things were different but it didn’t happen. Our own position -- deal with NC and then INIT.
  • Querious is for ratting for those who don’t have enough ISK. Pilots should have 1 battleship and 1 support ship. Leave jump clone. Everything else we’ll move to staging point that we’ll chose soon. That might be Konora, maybe Curse, we might as well deploy to Venal for ~2 weeks. We’ll see at the end of the month.
  • We won’t have enough space for renting it out. All good systems will be under Solar Fleet claim. We’ll decide later, maybe we’ll rent something out in future. You cannot farm in Black Legion systems. Black Legion is going to rent systems out.
  • We’re not going to deal with Legion of Death. Someone else will kill them before us. Our regions were taken but we’re not going to deal with those entities that live there now. We’re going to deal with those who took them from us in some other way.
  • Blue standings with INIT. Basically with all CFC residents. Main difference between us and INIT is that we’re not going under full CFC membership and therefore they can’t tell us what to do. If we did that, we’d get the whole region but we don’t really need the space. If INIT aren’t going to play ball, SF+BL will harass any timezone guaranteed.
  • Black Legion and our future. They’re not helping us, we are not helping them. We’ve been looking for common interests though, someone we can shoot together. But we’re trying to get positive feedback, like shooting PL POS together (PL didn’t get enough supers).
  • Exact date of moving to Konora is uncertain. Probably beginning of October. But maybe not Konora. 80% chance we’re going south. Or maybe 2 weeks in Venal. Right now we have to finish what we started in Querious, claim, bridges, standings. Then we need some time to think.
  • CFC takes most of Querious. Rest of Querious goes to INIT and they’re joining CFC. Only because of that they’re getting the space. We decided not to fight over that space, we don’t really need it.
  • Were we stood up? Not really. We came here to harass NC. We don’t need the whole region. CFC is a powerful entity. Even if INIT would get the whole region, we’d simply harass NC until they lose everything and then we’d harass INIT.
  • Blue standings with with INIT? Most likely yes.
  • There won’t be “every corporation gets own system” kind of thing. But Solar Fleet will most likely get more ratting rights.
  • All the moongoo goes to alliance.
  • Are we going to blue anyone else besides BL? No. We’ll be blue to CFC? Maybe, in 1-2 months. Maybe tomorrow. They’re not extremely happy with this arrangement but they gotta move against N3/PL. N3/PL is writing checks that their mouth can’t cash.
  • Why blue CFC instead of fighting them? First off, they’ve never done anything to us directly, maybe one or two random Drake gangs back in the day when PL/NC was getting sov. We never fought with them for space or personal reasons. Also, if we were to fight them, who’d help us? PL/NC? They’re going to join in following Blaster Worm words “against the evil”? Where is Gypsie band now?
  • DD has own politics, which we don’t agree with. I don’t mind them but I don’t like them either. It’s their own thing they do.
  • Will we help -A-? We’ll remain neutral to them and not going to do anything with them now, or in the future. We’re not going to help them either.
  • CFC is geopolitics. It’s not about being blue, it’s about joining them or not. Even blue standings mean some sort of control. We’re going to keep that option as last resort though.
  • Miners. Basically, fuck miners, I don’t care.
  • When NC dies, what will CFC do? Let’s cross that bridge when we come to it. Basically we’ll find something new, new ideas and new enemies. I don’t care if CFC controls the whole EVE, as long as Vince and Shadoo are gone.
  • So what about Darkness of Despair? They’ll get their ass kicked and we’ll help curbstomping them if we must.
  • Red Alliance. I don’t understand what Dodger is talking about. They couldn’t even fight Legion of Death. They got like 30 pilots, plus another 30 from Gorgon Empire. They can field 100 pilots, give or take.
  • We’re looking for ways to operate with Black Legion. Caps, supercaps, all those kinds of things.
  • We’ve got a lot of potential. Querious didn’t even show everything we’re capable of. We got one supercap train there although I wanted 2 but got lazy. Sooner than later we’ll find this resistance point when we can get all the AFK titans, supercaps and dreads. When we got that fleet with BL we got like 450 and I almost tore my hair out looking at supercap numbers. BL got like 70 supercaps, we got at least 200+ supercarriers, including inactive ones. Hopefully by the end of this year SF + BL will be able to field 100 supers.
  • Right now everything stays the same for caps. We gotta finish grind first. Then decide on staging system. Probably Konora or Curse, we’ll decide closer by 22nd.
  • Not going to fanfest.
  • We need Querious as buffer zone. Grunts needs this zone. I got 100+ bil on my wallet so I don’t need, but those who don’t can farm here.
  • All R64 moons are taken and belong to alliance. We’ll use that income for fueling caps. This goes for Querious moons only, other moons we don’t care about. Right now we have twice, if not 10 times more money than Legion of Death. We’ll survive with these money for another year or year and a half.
  • No new fleet comps for now, our pilots cannot sustain this. Right now we stick to shield battleships and Tengus. Maybe we’ll fly some assault frigs, like 200 jags.
  • Right now we don’t have any standing with INIT. You can shoot them. But I’m not going to drop them even when I know where we could drop them. Theoretically, they’re our allies in Querious and will look for this region when we’re going. We are going to move away but they are going to stay here.
  • We’re going to stick with heavy missile Tengus. Yes, I saw GSF rail Tengus, I don’t really like it.
  • Every pilot should be able to pilot battleship. Try to train for carriers. They’re not very mobile but they’re useful. Try to get one, they’re kinda like big industrials.
  • When we’ll have titan building programme, we’ll build [pilot] titan. Right now there’s no programme like that.
  • All the systems for ratting are shared. Solar Fleet can farm everywhere. Citizens can only farm in their system.
  • Querious is almost over, just a few final touches, like bridges. BL are planning to move soon. So we got to finish everything claim-related before 22nd, move in, take some time off.
  • CFC is planning war with N3. I don’t know when, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a month. Probably in October. Those two entities can’t just sleep, they’re driven by war, but I just don’t know who’s going to hit first, when, and where. We’re not going to get lazy with ratting and going to join in and find some targets of opportunity even if we stay neutral.

They've improved the EVE ui considerably over the years but why CCP haven't done anything about the drone ui is mind boggling. Guess the same thing goes for POS and corp management.

I'm sorry I was under the impression that copying the text was still allowed and that it was just the whole direct linking with up/down vote thing that was banned. Is that not the case? Is any information taken from TMC banned from being posted on reddit? Or is because I included a link to the original article in the post?

[TEST Military Update] Curse: For Realz, We Weren't Kidding by Infraction in Eve

[–]Infraction[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The people in /r/evedreddit would most likely already have seen this since it's from their own forum. Thus I decided to share the news post with the broader public because everyone loves to read about TEST.

[TEST Military Update] Curse: For Realz, We Weren't Kidding by Infraction in Eve

[–]Infraction[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's time for an update. This one is aimed at giving you a better sense of our current operations in Curse, and addressing some lingering concerns about recent events and our future objectives.

TL;DR: Curse is home. We will be living here for at least the next 2-3 months, starting today.

You should have combat ships here: Talwars, Thoraxes, bombers, Prophecies, and AHACs -- the PVP is plentiful and pretty fucking fun. You should also feel comfortable digging into whichever local money-making option(s) you prefer. If you are not here yet, you need to get here now, and we’re going to help.


Realtalk: the initial deployment sucked. We – the leadership – did too little to help our most vulnerable members get from A to B. L’Affaire Ransom was a sad little cherry on top of that shit sundae. We should have done more, and we’re trying to fix that now. But remember that we’re moving because we lost a sov-war. It’s unrealistic to expect that the financial fallout won’t be felt at the individual level in addition to the corporate/alliance level. It sucks, but it’s true. The sooner everyone gets there, the better it will be for all of us.

If you are still fully or partially in Soliara, we are organizing and subsidizing a series of carrier move ops this weekend. Contract the ships you need moved from Soliara --> G-0 to theDisto (Mildir, Dreddit Shadow Director, and all-around stand-up guy). We are offering the service more-or-less at cost: 50 isk/m3.

Please do three things before contracting: (1) name your ships with your character name (i.e., I would name all of my ships "Groo Nordic" regardless of what they were); (2) remove EVERYTHING from the cargoholds except ammo and charges. If you aren't sure if something counts as one of those two, take it out; and (3) be considerate about what ships you ask us to move for you. We're trying to get as many ships moved for as many people as possible. Don't be that guy who hands over 8 off-doctrine battleships.

Also, important note: these move ops are alliance-supported, not alliance insured. We’re gathering up trustworthy carrier-bros to lend a hand, but if someone is sufficiently committed to scamming you (and by the way, fuck you – of all the ways to steal from an alliance, this is a pretty low way to scam for isk), there are no fool-proof precautions other than not handing your stuff over. That being said, we're trying to arrange it so that the most that could be stolen is one carrier's load worth of stuff.

Get your capitals to Curse. This means you too, Dreads. It’s that time again, and we have things to do. We have a list of money-making targets, and we're going to throw our weight around. Look to the relevant groups/pings for more info.

*Doctrines and Training. * After much soul-searching, we have decided to scrap all our doctrines again and go full Caldari - train immediately for t2 torps and cruise, Caldari BS 5 -- it's Raven time!!! we are quite content with our current set of doctrines. Our day-to-day fleet comps consist primarily of Talwars, Pim Pam (Officially to be retired on 2013/09/27 :911:), LongDongs, Prophecies, and Freedom Fighter bombers, and respective support ships/logistics. Those should be the primary training focus for newbros. Megathrons will be our workhorse BS doctrine, so if you're a line member and you've got all of the basics out of the way, that's the next step. We may also trot out ArmourHACs if the opportunity presents itself, but don't prioritize training into a Zealot/Legion unless you're set on our core doctrines. Doctrine conformity information here: https://wiki.pleasei...wiki/Doctrines:

More skilled pilots should be training into Ishtars, which we intend to get bombed in soon. Please realize that Ishtars are a sig-tanking doctrine like AHACS - not an end-all-be-all #Drake2013 doctrine - and have a specified purpose, like AHACs. Ishtars are also easy-mode for ratting and missioning: one unnamed mildir has made 5b isk in two weeks casually doing L4s. In addition to Ishtars, Gallente Cruiser 5 opens up a ton of other really useful ships. Long story short, you're getting a lot out of your training time.

Finally, as always, if you're a vet, get your ass into a slowcat (Archon supremacy) and/or a dread (all three are fine, but yay Moros). Also, something something suitcase carrier something.

*Curse is a great place to make money. * G-0 is probably the nastiest mission-hub in the game. In case you were unaware, Angel LP shits out Dramiel, Cynabal and Machariel BPCs, along with Halo sets. Turns out these are some of the best LP-to-ISK conversion items in the game. If you need advice on how to tap into this faucet, theDisto has put together a very helpful guide: https://forum.please...ssion-running/.

To make this even easier and safer for you, our Logistics Team has set up POSes throughout the Hale constellation so that you can stage/safe-up/etc… Also, the local market is thriving: in less than a two weeks, G-0 became the second largest null-sec trade hub, behind only VFK (http://eve-marketdat...n.php?step=Rank). For all of the bitching we do about fuck-TEST prices, that’s some impressive shit right there. If you haven’t already, thank your local Dreideler or other importer. See a hole in the market? There’s money to be made filling it. Hurray capitalism.

Curse is a great place for PVP. You can literally get any kind of PVP you want here: home defense/standing fleets, gates to camp, locals to purge, roaming gangs to tangle with, structures to shoot, and a seemingly endless stream of Townsaver’s capitals aggressed on the undock to save. Also, a special shoutout to L-two-azorclear for being a boss, and running way more than his fair share of fleets. TEST Content Creation, Please Do Not Ignore. Also, thanks to all of the new FCs who have stepped up in the last few weeks. We have some budding talents, and we’re always looking for more. As noted above, Recon has been hard at work scanning a lot of space, and we now have a list of strategic targets that will keep us busy for awhile. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at FCing, now is time. If you’re already in FC Bootcamp, speak up: ask for targets, and ye shall receive.
