I've been a member of SAS Strike Force for a little over a week now, and the reason I joined was because of the type of corp that this is. Please go and look at their, now our, webpage, and you will see exactly what this corp is all about. http://www.eliteccp.com Active players, industry and mining, PvP training for defense of the corp, non-pirate. These were exactly the things I was looking for when I started seeking to join a player corp.
Since joining them, I have discovered that they, now we, are EXACTLY as advertised.
Last night, after getting home from work I had just started hunting NPC pirates in the belts of a .6 system and jOrz's alt, Lt Silver, called for us to assemble, and that we were going to go try to get restitution from the pirate who destroyed our co-CEO, RnD Guy's, hauler. RnD Guy was loaded down with probes because he was exploring, trying to find hidden asteroid belts to mine, hidden NPC station complexes to assault, wrecked hulks floating in deep space, etc., using a new explorers/scanning guide that had been posted in our forums.
Well, we assemble and the rules of engagement are laid out. No podding, no one fires unless the order is given, and then only if we are fired upon. Our little fleet heads out to a system called "Half". Once there, we make a couple of in-system jumps to find this guy DimiTrip. We find him and a few other corps waiting just through a gate, (I forget which one). We all begin uncloaking, but none of us fire, no one on either side attacks. Our fleets just hangs there like opposing swords of Damocles. DimiTrip and his fleet warp off to one of the planets in the system. Discussion begins in the local channel. It seems that DimiTrip believes that SASSF are pirates and has convinced everyone with him of that as well. We describe, in local channel, what happened when DimiTrip killed RnD Guy, we post the copy of the killmail that showed DimiTrip killing RnD Guy in the local channel, we get accused of being allied with S******DLY and FOE, so we give them a link to www.eve-pirate.com in local channel, that shows us actually fighting S******DLY, and losing badly, but we'll get 'em next time :) (October 17th entry). Hell, S******DLY made a friggin movie of it for goodness sakes!
At any rate, we check the local channel and notice that there are 40+ people in the system. We only have 15 or 16 at this time and DimiTrip and his fleet are taunting us to come and fight them at a planet, which we all feel is an ambush. We figure that the chances of them outnumbering us 2 to 1 at the planet are too great, so we inform DimiTrip that corp war has been declared and head out-system. We are all sitting at a gate waiting for one of our group to catch up who had to re-log for a UI bug when DimiTrip and a few of his fleet warp in. We decide just to let the situation handle itself through the corp war, and we start jumping through the gate. Lt Silver is always the last to jump so he can make sure that all of his fleet has made it to the next system, and as he's sitting there waiting for everyone to jump, he tells us that DimiTrip has begun firing on him, and that it appears that the rest of DimiTrip's fleet has warped in as well, so Lt Silver quickly jumps through the gate.
Because DimiTrip fired on Lt Silver, we almost went back through the gate to certain ambush, but then stuck to our guns of letting it be settled through the corp war.
I know that it has been said many times in this thread, but if there is one thing that SASSF isn't, it is pirates. We find the insinuation insulting, and now that corp war has come, we will wipe the insinuators from the face of EVE.
