What is the deal - I just saw http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=24361
How did TTI already get that stuff? And wtf is up with all those battleships mining in that screenshot? Is this the way all corps are? Jesus I have to join a corp I am behind the curve.
Look at that screenshot at http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=23341 !
Maybe I am just naive!

It is pretty suspicious but there is no way to tell if that screenshot was taken recently or during beta and this is just some kind of propoganda. Though because they claimed it was a recent shot I'll assume it is so.

WTF?!?!?!

First thing, That jovian tech is a load of bull, that jove guy is... well... Idunno what he is DEFINATLY isnt TTI.
Second.
TTI is "HUGE" plus they used a volley of semi-exploits when the game came out. they got their b-ship blueprint like a MONTH ago.
4 battleships... and like 6 indys... could buy 1 or 2 battleships a day, if their used right.
a corp as big as theirs... like 300+ members. could EASILY have gotten 10 battleships within the first week, because of people saveing for it.
So 10 battleships within first week, now those are getting like 3-4 a day now. so were talking they could easily get everyone a battleship within 5 months if they worked together. that's 300+ battleships!
So however many battleships they ahve it's legit.
Only thing that gets me, is in the begging they mined arknoir in frigates... got rich quick, got cruisers quick, and have always been 2 steps ahead.

Edited by: Joshua Calvert on 06/08/2003 20:49:07 I don't believe it is real. I believe TTI were trying to roleplay being something other than a boring grey-suited isk-hungry corp. who are in the game for domination rather the pure gaming pleasure.
They failed miserably and should go back to the drawing board (but not to produce any more lame doctored screenshots).

Maybe because he remembered you just have to right click on icon bar and select align right.

it is possible to have ur current location to the right side of your screen.
look both screenshots are real. the mining event is a backdrop that looks pretty good with the lighting. it was taken within the last week or so id imagine. the little attributes box is from beta. they pasted it on top of the image. simple...

kudos to the megalomaniacs for doing a bit of rp'ing on the side. As for the items in question, *big shrug*. But you already knew that guys... i mean, honestly... tech 5? LOL. ________________________________________________

Okay, after some thought, one of a couple things is happening here.
1. TTI is not telling the truth. It's fabricated propoganda/doctored images and nothing more. It might be an attempt to make other corpss feel inferior to TTI but all it really is, is a lie.
2. TomB, or whoever does the loot drop tables, messed up. There is a pirate out there somewhere that is dropping these and TTI is taking advantage of it. What self-respecting CEO wouldn't take advantage of such an opportunity?
3. It's a shot from the Test server. Any TTI members that are in Polaris could probably spawn these things on the test server fairly easily but as far as I know, no Polaris member can spawn anything on the live server.
4. A GM is playing favorites. I highly doubt this one because being a GM means working in Iceland for real money and I don't think anyone is stupid enough to give items out like this and risk loosing their jobs.
5. It's a story element. Highly unlikely but not impossible. Stations aren't even in yet so I doubt that the devs would want to throw in Jove tech, especially level 5 when levels 2-4 haven't been introduced.
It has to be one of those.
