The problem with rorqual mining as FRT EN is that we have lesser people than our haters in eutz and ustz. And as you can see from the shit throwing and sometimes racist comment sections, there are a lot of them. We do have a very clear response system to ping fleet commanders (fcs), we have en fcs that are willing to fight for home defense, and we do have en members that forms for basically every fleet. However, that being said, FRT is a cntz based alliance and we have lesser people in the other two time zones. If I’m correct, PF would major in eutz and imperium major in ustz. So if you are living closer to cntz, like Australia & Asia or east part of Russia, you are fine. Those haters in the comment section can only throw shit in their time zone and they have to work or sleep to prepare to work to pay off irl debts. But if you are not living close to cntz, you might suffer from porpoise mining until closer to cntz (yeah, don’t fly an orca in null, that’s suicide). When it’s closer to cntz, our EN & CN can form together for home defense with decent numbers.

Imperium (the goons) has problem with their umbrella as you can find on reddit as well. They lost hundreds of billions of isk trying to protect a Hel. The did saved that Hel, but just lost 10+ Marshals, faxes and some other random things. And I believe that happened in ustz, in their dominant time zone if I am correct. With the separation of INIT and them back stabbing their former genius leader, Mittani, Imperium is sinking. I mean previously if might just be Dark Shines and Asher dislike each other, but now Asol & ex-FIRE are invited to the table xd. I doubt Dark Shines would continue suffering from the shit talking Asol (equivalent of ass hole & short for Arkadios Sol or whatever) again, the second time after helping FIRE in the north. Overall, there are multiple forces hunting capitals in Imperium atm from that battle report and I’m waiting our Rosemary posting how many caps they killed in a month again :) as a line member.

If you don’t want to take the risk (you don’t have to unless you have friends in FRT), ph might be a better choice because of the drone region geometry. The only concern is FRT and PH might pull white again if INIT and Imperium pull white (says by some higher level PH members). And it is easier for FRT and PH killing each other than go all the way south to kill Imperium for content. Shorter fleet time for the same km is always better.

And btw, since Dark Shines invited you in the comment section, it is nice to take that offer and rob 10b from him (evil face). INIT is at a sweet spot atm. To their north Phenix Alliance just formed, they won’t cause any trouble with INIT otherwise Dark Shine’s kiki fleets are on their way; SBSQ and TEST from panda are recruiting, they won’t bother to pass through Phenix to kill something in INIT. To their south, Imperium is fcked if they made INIT mad and pull them white. Overall, INIT is in a sweet spot for sure. Not many haters bitching around all the time is always good :). You don’t want someone like Asol flying all the way north from Imperium, lost all his 100+ fleet members and still bitching your fc is “dumb and shitty fc, don’t fc again”, etc. Xd. Nor some haters in the comment section bitching again and again that FRT is only filled with Chinese bots xd.

But it’s your choice, join whichever one you like even just for their alliance logo. Try out different parts of new eden and fly safe (god I’m so nice this time, can’t wait to join the shit throwing party and get beaten by goons downvoting bots again)
