I havnt been part of UK for too long, just over 4 months i believe it is, but what i can tell you about the alliance is that it is "exactly what it says on the Tin". What i mean is that i came to the alliance knowing some of the history, knowing the honour the alliance carries and understanding that i would be joining a cause that people believed and cared about very dearly.
Over time Ushra'Khan has pushed itself from a guerrilla warfare sytle alliance, to a fully fledged, moderately sized, multi-functional power in Eve. Understandably, corporations like 11b who love to roam in small, hard to catch fleets were bound to disapprove of such moves. I mean who doesnt like roaming all the time, attacking enemies at their weak points, causing havoc with ratters, miners and generally just having plain old fun? It doesnt take a very smart man to figure out the type of pilots 11b are, your basic "Lets rock, kick some ass, Chuck Norris style solo-artists" We have all come across these types before. I dont at all mean that is generally a bad thing, i mean these types are usually good pilots with a great understanding of the game and perform well in most instances.
We'd all love to be these type of pilots, with a seemingly limitless bank balance, who dont have to rat/anom/plex ect to make money for ships. But the simple fact of the matter is not everyone can. Moaning about Isk makers because they cant roam ect is ridiculous, i personally had to spend a very long time making money to purchase a Dreadnaught for Fleet actions, on Fleet Battleships when the need came, and ofcourse my smaller HAC/Recon ect for roaming duties. But to moan and cry about the unfortunate people trying to make money so they can succeed in Ushra'Khan is very unfair.
11b claim to have issued a very narrow minded "demand" to the Ushra'Khan council, from what i can make out on this post 11b's terms and conditions in the alliance were "We will not be taking part in anything other than our routine Harassment of Providence and if you dont like it..... this is what happens" Im not normally a person who judges people too harshly, but i can honestly say as an impartial judge, that 11b is totally out of line with the damaging comments that have been posted in this thread.
I have always looked at 11b as a "Black Sheep", they never open invite people and basically want to be left alone. Ushra'Khan's Alliance ticker is "UNITY", and i can tell you that isnt just coincidence, but it is the essence of the alliance on a whole. UK stick together, work together and will die together for the beliefs we hold dear. Not just on the alliance level either, as everyone has seen, the bonds of friendship with -A- and a few others show the colours of UK and i personally am proud to say they are honourable ones. 11b have, it seems to me, completely washed their hands of these colours and followed a path that goes in the opposite direction.
I looked at the kills of 11b on our KB and thought "Wow, these guys know what they are doing, they catch people off guard and are very good at doing so" But what are the few ratter/miner/straggler deaths doing in the long run except making people more cautious? Im very sceptical in the statements made in regards to causing the collapse of alliances ect. Sapph and Karn are shaking the very foundations of Providence with our allies, and it is a good time for all as we now generally go un-opposed when we assemble for conquest. People who call UK Leeches for teaming with -A- are Morons, as there are a large number of very strong alliances in providence who through the sheer weight of numbers would make times very very hard for UK alone. We go hand in hand as every smart alliance would, and want nothing but the freedom of slaves, an end to the tyranny of CVA and a stronger more prosperous alliance for every deserving Ushra'Khan Member.
I was always told, Never crap in your own back yard. Family is family, and you just crapped in ours. Goodbye MadBombers. o/
