You raised some valid points...however.
 Quote:
Xetic built an alliance in the armpit of 0.0 with EVERY card stacked against us. We had fun defending our space because (however bad we were at it) and held onto it because CCP promised us that one day we would be able to form IGA, build stations and create a defendable empire.
Instead we got POS that depend on empire goods to run and are almost utterly worthless. We got an IGA + War system that ensures that only PURE PvP Alliances even have a chance of surviving because if youÆre an industrial alliance your just a juicy target.
There is NO way for an Xetic to defend its space.
We have 5 regions.
NO insurance services.
32 Factorie slots per region
1 Cloning per region.
NO labs
NO Agents
A *bleep* market and Escrow system.
Choke points into Empire camped 23/7 by gang crews.
AND MOST OF ALL, NO way for us to build stations with any of these services.
I think it is great that you made a huge effort and you built something. However, right now you are just frustrated because you have no way of defending what you built.
You feel you are owed something for your time and effort.
You've made the fundamental mistake everybody makes. You overextended and tried to do too much. Do not feel bad, this is human nature.
But FIVE regions? Come on dude. Why FIVE? You could have been happy with 3, and had enough forces to successfully police 3 regions. You made the absolute classical mistake, of any conqueror who consistently wants more.
Yes I agree that CCP should have put certain features in the game. But, just like you, they probably overextended themselves, promised too much to too many people. They owe you absolutely nothing. They owe Xetic nothing. It is stated in the EULA, that some features may not be fully implemented and that the game is continually evolving.
You overextended yourself, and exceeded your capacity for governing and claiming 5 regions, when you could have been very happy with 2-3.
I realize hindsight is 20/20, but I still think you overextended yourself and your organization by trying to claim, control, police, and exploit an area of space that was TOO LARGE for your capabilities.
