Abaddon Rising (RIOT) declared its intention to take EVOTECH to war unless a ransom was paid. Although this ransom demand was offered to us, the smack recieved throughout negotiations meant that a physical response was the only method available to us. EVOTECH then declared its intention to join ISS in order to put us off this course of action. It has not.
ISS through Serenity Steel was warned that the encompassing of EVEOTECH into its ranks would be considered a direct insult and war would be brought to them accordingly.
These are the results of the first weeks battle.
RIOT Losses: 1 Megathron (50 mil) 1 Celestis (10 mil)
Kills: 3 Cruisers 6 Frigates 2 Tech 2 frigates 1 Industrial ship 1 Barge 1 Shuttle 5 Pods
Not including ship cost, loot from the kills totals 130 million ISK.
As well as the kills 1 freighter was caught, he was brought to ransom and paid 400 million ISK to not be destroyed. The ship was allowed to warp to station where it was harried until docked so as to disrupt operations.
Freighter screenshot
Total operation profit for this week: 470 million ISK
Due to the fiscal success of these operations, the war will be continued until we are in a state of net loss, until evotech is removed from ISS, or until evotech pays a ransom of 150 million ISK.
It should be noted that we have every respect for ISS, and what they are trying to achieve. Although sorry to take this action to them, not least due to the poor quality of "pvp", we cannot back down from such a bunch of smacktards as EVOTECH.
PLEASE keep this opinion and smack free, especially if your not involved.
Preferably i'd like to see a *click*.
Unless a diplomatic solution is realised, we'll see you next week.

Well Capt 69, you doing this ransom thingy and not immediately ganking any civilian you see.. respect for that.
But making theads saying, we killed X number of ships and lost Y number of ships is just gonna get you flamed away.

I actually thought you were the REAL skillz and was bothered then .. then i realised your not and dont care. READ THE POST, i didnt dec them,they encompased a corp we had decced already. And as for win and lose? from a purely ship point of view i'm far from proud. It wasn't about that, just a report on results.

I didnt say he couldn't post tyvm. I'm not that pretentious, and regardless of what you may think, neither is most of BoB. If however you need clarification of my pre-edit intent, I was remarking that on a contract you shouldn't ransom, you should kill. I then realised it wasnt a contract, it was just killing. So I removed my comment. But thanks for making sure I can't post MY opinion with BoB tags without being harassed.

I wasnt referring to you at all and I just singled you out cos of the RKK chap. Was just asking people to go easy on the guy, people have to start somewere
Edit: is this even a contract, looks like a corp ransom

Yeah, I realised that a moment to late too.
From the look of the title, I thought I was reading merc contract results. I was wrong.
But I must point out that if you post results in this forum, people are going to answer honestly. If they are impressed or not. If someones opinion is that this is not impressive, theres nothing saying he can't post that.
Regardless of what alliance they are in.
Anyways, no offence, none taken.

Just as a personal comment here, ransoming a freighter pilot for every penny they have, and then doing large amounts of damage to it after a fair ransom was paid is, in my mind, dishonourable. I have no personal problem with ransoming someone, but once you do you should let them dock without interference. Continuing to do some further 40-50 mill worth of damage to the ship is just petty.
Don't get my wrong, this isn't a winge, but it does mean that I'm not sure we can trust any future ransoms and or offers of 1v1 engagements.
Btw, said freighter pilot is in my corp. Yes piloting a freighter through empire in a war is pershaps foolish, but she only joined our corp a while ago and hasn't had the freighter long (it's a personal ship, not a corp owned ship). These things happen and I think she's learnt her lesson ;)

We could have done, but that still wouldn't remove the structural damage. Besides, I don't think we have any pilots in the corp capable of doing so anywhere nearby. Repairs were funded corp wallet and were really not that big a deal in the grand scale of things. It's just the lack of honour when ransoming that gets to me.

I peronally knew I would not be able to take down the ship. The structure alone is far too much for my thorax. So, your pilot was safe...otherwise, I would have continued my attack at the gate, and not allow her to warp to a station. What bothers me most is, that whole ordeal took about 15 to 20 minutes. More than enough time to mobilize something at least to help out your corp member. While she herself has learned a valuable lesson, I believe you and your members should also learn a lesson, and that is always look out for your members. When one needs help..be there.
Whether you feel ransoming/pirating/ etc is fair, dishonorable, etc...matters little. Its a war. Our goal in the end is to get ISS to kick out evotech, and they pay up. War is war..and a lot of crap happenns along the way.
BTW, tell ur pilot I hope her kid gets better (if her story is real). I don't jokingly say that. Eve is a game, real life is more important. good day.

ISS is meant to be a *civilian* alliance. As such, they don't win wars by fighting you off, but by not getting killed. If they all followed the instructions for operations during wartime (and god knows they get posted often enough, I used to post them every so often myself) ... you'd (a) get bored, and (b) lose money on the deal, and you'd go away.
The more time they waste actually trying to fight you, the worse this war will hurt them. ________________________________________________

Besides, evotech is more than just some afk mining corp. We didn't ask to fight ISS, they joined ISS in the middle of our war with Evotech. Anyway, doesn't matter, I pay to play how I want to..just like you do.

grow some balls and ransom a corp that can defend itself. I would doubt that ISS would give in to ransom demands, and you know it. as for evotech, they themselves are industrialists; ransoming carebears has no honor.
Perhaps Evotech should take the 150mil you want for ransom, and buy some mercs to turn your tiny trashy little corp into scrapmetal?

This is not intended as a flame (though it will undoubtedly come across as one), just an observation I have an honest question about.
Baldour, why is it that I see you posting on "behalf" of ISS or whatever, yet every time there's an active war on ISS you're always to be found in Aliastra? I mention this merely because it was true when we were at war with ISS as well as now.

The ISS has over eleven hundred members. You managed to kill 14 ships - and only eleven combat ships - in a whole week.
What the hell do you spend your time doing? You can't throw a rock in empire without clonking some ISS member's hull.

I hate to intrude but I have a good friend in Evotech, and this is not a flame, yet, just a statement of facts.
Victim: SarGara Alliance: None Corp: Abaddon Rising Destroyed: Capsule System: Arvasaras Security: 0.5
Involved parties:
Name: Logan Fyreite (laid the final blow) Security: 0.2 Alliance: Interstellar Starbase Syndicate Corp: EVOTECH Ship: Wolf Weapon: 280mm Howitzer Artillery II
Think you might want to include that in your list of losses? what about the costs of implants for both sides? or would you like me to dig further and see if I can get a composite sketch of how your corp mates are kitting their battleships. I did not know that a overdrive and MWD was good on a Mega.
Still always fun to see a good war, even if it is just through a friend.

On behalf of EVOTECH I would like to state that the above poster is neither a member nor an alt of EVOTECH. We are not in the habit of posting killmails or smack. As Abaddon Rising should be aware by now, we have a combat wing and are not afraid to deploy it. Attempts at extortion will be met by adequate force. Let's keep this clean and in game. Enjoy the fight.

It would seem that ISS have to respond with overwhelming force on this one in the form of merc contracts as to not use their industrial muscle to employ force against aggressors would invite attacks and extortion in the future.

I myself was on an evening shift at work (or I could have got myself to the area and helped). Most of the rest of the combat capable members of my corp were away at a roleplay game at the time. As for the rest of the alliance, apparently no-one who felt confident in PvP was available in the area in a ship they thought they could take you on in. This happens in a _non_PvP alliance.

War is war..and a lot of crap happenns along the way. I hate it for you guys...but then again, evotech should have not brought it to ISS. They have more than enough members to hold their own. By running to ISS for help, they have caused far more harm than good.
Oh, I understand war is war, and that anything goes. There are very few rules in war after all. All it means is that I don't feel I can trust any such offers in future. *shrugs* I doubt I'll be in a position during this war to have to worry about such things.
Quote: BTW, tell ur pilot I hope her kid gets better (if her story is real). I don't jokingly say that. Eve is a game, real life is more important. good day.

lol, you offered us the 40 mil, and we told you cos your a smackmonkey we want 80, then you told us to **** off. Whatever. And if you think that were gonna hit camped targets - like the 14 ship camp last week - when we can gank jucy carebears your wrong, were here to make money, not lose it. We wouln't dream of deccing ISS ourselves, but if by your actions we are at war with them then we will sure as hell take advantage of it.
Were to much of a none entity to ISS for them to bring in any pvpers to get us - the only ship above a bc i've seen of ISS is from your corp, and you guys wont fight unless its 3 - 1 odds, and fair enough, thats what i'd do.
Bottom line is this: given the oportunity to be rich OR brave, i'll take rich ... given the oportunity to be both ..

To be fair, FPC joined FRICK almost a year after we stopped pirating. He doesn't have to hold the same opinions as us old-school scumbag sharks

ATUF probably contain more FRICK members from those days than FRICK does. Seems a bit silly you calling us out on it
Edit: To the OP - Posting less than stellar kill stats against an industrial alliance on Eve-O is never going to result in anything good. Probably best to not bother! ----------------------------------------

Lol...first of all, no whining has taken place. If your calling last nights request in local for you guys to come out and play, as whining or smack talk....then I am without words. We made one statement,: "9 of you, 3 of us, you guys going to fight any?" And with that, your pilot Raph said: "No smacktalk please." LOL. we were just waiting for something from you guys...but nothing. You claim you wanted us to bring it..we did, and you stayed docked, end of story.
This post was mainly for you as well as ISS to see what they are losing due to adding you to their alliance...nothing more.
I can't believe there is so much heated debate over this whole thing. Good grief, its just a game. Lets all have fun and enjoy it. I know I am. And to the guy in Shark with fricken lasers corp...go boost your ego somewhere else who cares, like home, your mom, family, friends, etc. Our corp is 80% noobs still..some not even over 1.5 months. They all have to start somewhere. Someday maybe we can play tango with the likes of you guys, but for now, our guys are still learning.
So lets just have fun for now..no need to make peoples blood pressure rise or anything, its just a game :)

Edit: To the OP - Posting less than stellar kill stats against an industrial alliance on Eve-O is never going to result in anything good. Probably best to not bother!
I'm not gonna only post if i get good results, what you think i am, Burn Eden? (sorry frag )

Originally by: Hans Roaming It would seem that ISS have to respond with overwhelming force on this one in the form of merc contracts as to not use their industrial muscle to employ force against aggressors would invite attacks and extortion in the future.
Speaking from experience, that doesn't bode well for ISS. It might work against a single corp, but they tried it against us once and it didn't really work out so well. The problem isn't numbers, I'm assuming (from lack of better knowledge) that its a lack in experience/training.
You can throw ten noobs with battleships at an equal force of experienced players in cruisers - but whoever deployed the battleships isn't going to like the result.

FPC no offence but your a merc who attacks anyone for isk, you kill industrialists and pvpers alike, the MC goes after agent *****s and industrial kills etc for the loot. Unless your tactics have radically changed ;)
To be fair, FPC joined FRICK almost a year after we stopped pirating. He doesn't have to hold the same opinions as us old-school scumbag sharks

Also FRICK members have a less than rosey past having ransomed several "nub" corps and forced them to pay ransoms.
ATUF probably contain more FRICK members from those days than FRICK does. Seems a bit silly you calling us out on it

ATUF probably does, doesnt change the fact that you were out there doing it with us :D. and its not about piracy its about hitting the soft side of alliances which people seem to be taking offence to. These guys are empire pirates its what they do, what we did and what mercs of any corp will do.
People used the "hit people who can fight back" vs us to And it may be less than stellar but we dont know their circumstances...

Sure, I agree. It's an integral part of both mercing and pirating. It's also a great way to train up new PvPers(which seems to be partially the situation here). I wasn't saying otherwise.
Neither was I criticizing Capt 69's stats. I was simply saying that posting them on Eve-O wasn't necessarily a recipe for peace and love and encouragement, given the general climate around here.
So um... yeah ----------------------------------------

Edited by: Butter Dog on 10/01/2006 17:14:47 What I object to, are so-called mercenary corps sending out random ransom eve-mails by the dozen, and then failing to follow up when their ransom targets refuse to pay up. Its just a cheap shot designed to create maximum revenue with mininal effort.
We were ransomed by the OP. We didnt pay. Nothing happened. We were disappointed, as we like a bit of empire PVP.

Baldour, why is it that I see you posting on "behalf" of ISS or whatever, yet every time there's an active war on ISS you're always to be found in Aliastra? I mention this merely because it was true when we were at war with ISS as well as now.
I don't really know why I'm posting here, since I don't have anything to do with any of this, but I just got a chuckle out of this. Righteous, I think if you reread Baldour's post just a few lines above yours that you'll be able to deduce the answer to your question.

Oh I meant by industrial muscle was that the ISK generated be used to hire mercs who are skilled in PVP to combat on their behalf. To not retaliate in any form would just invite more attacks it seems.

You could, but you'd be wrong.
I left Celt Corp to join ISS Logistics. I was stuck in Aliastra for a few days while that went through.
I've now left ISS, permanently. (Actually I got kicked, because the 24-hour timer on waiting to leave ran out when I was asleep.)
I was *in* ISS for half a dozen wars, but I never saw an enemy. I don't tend to hang out in hub systems with afk-autopiloting indies. ________________________________________________

Sadly, Abaddon Rising did get one more casualty this week. Me.
The character was not mine originally - I worked up the isk to purchase it from the person who left it. I've only been around for a short time, a few months, and I was doing fairly well for myself, I thought.
The story I told you, Sylpha, was true. My baby has cancer, and I have been using this game as a sort of relaxation, to blow off steam and liven my heart after days of watching him struggle for his life. There is nothing in the world that compares to watching an infant struggle to survive, especially if it's your own baby. Nothing can tell you what that feeling is like. The bottom drops out of the world.
I have been using the game to try to forget it a bit when I'm at home, to give myself a bit of positive thinking and happiness.
I finally got the money to get an obelisk, and had the skills on this character. I joined a corp full of people who, after some interaction, I found myself liking a lot. I was very happy about that - it was exciting, and it gave me something to think about that could get my mind off the baby.
I have never been through a war before. I've never been in a pvp _fight_ before. I had no real idea of what to expect. Everything I owned was in the Obelisk. I was moving it to another system, there to stay while I did some missions and enjoyed myself.
I don't know anyone in Evotech, so when you said this was all their fault I couldn't understand it. After all, your actions are your own, not theirs. You being at war with them, my joining ISS at almost the same time, it seems to have been a coincidence.
I barely know anyone in ISS, having just joined.
Every bit of money I had went to the ransom that you didn't honor. I went into debt to friends to get it, as I'd already paid everything prior for insurance. You let me go when you got it, then followed me and kept shooting right up until I got into station.
You stated in local that you were disappointed that you hadn't managed to end it, and were surprised at how much structure the ship had had. You fully intended to destroy it the first time. Don't hide behind a facade of honoring the thing by pretending you knew you couldn't - your words at the time say otherwise.
Well, you've done it. You've ruined the game for me. I have nothing left - you got all my money the first time and now you've destroyed everything I own in the game. My primary means of blowing off steam and _enjoying_ some time has been destroyed.
I realize that getting blown up will be seen by many as a "noob mistake". I am a noob. And I have shed rl tears over the destruction of the primary escape I had from the torment I'm going through lately.
I don't know what I'll do now. I don't know if I even want to play this game anymore. It's bad enough to have the pain in life, but to have the place you were trying to escape from the pain for a little become painful...
My newbish mistake or not, I have nothing left anymore. I don't know what I'm going to do. So many things piling on top of each other... lately it seems all I can do is cry. I probably shouldn't even post this, but I don't know if I'll even be logging in again, save to talk to the corp I joined recently and tell them how the baby is...

Its a game, we play it. If you have rl issues, in al honesty keep em to yourself. This isn't the place, or the time. We all have stuff going on in our life thats ****ty, and i'm sure we've had ****ty things in game to. Thats life, and thats eve. Bottom line is this - if your red, your KOS, and we dont care about anything else. The only way to avoid that is to stay in a noob corp really.

Nothing here is about boasting...its just fact. Besides, you can hardly get mad at people who play as pirates, if you want to play as an industrialist, no more than someone wanting to play as a diplomat. Its your choice...thats what is great about eve. Do what you want, within the game's mechanics.
As far as in Jackson. Look mate, Sorry for your loss. While I've never lost anything worth that much, I have lost a few things as well that cost a lot...and have been broke a few times as well in eve. While I understand your current position in real life (lost family members to a few things, as well as a younger sibling), you cannot blame me, yourself, or anything else. Its just a game in the end really. You do have a few ways you can recover from this mishap, and while none of my recommedations seem like a great choice, it can still mean you can enjoy eve. Your character alone, being able to fly a frieghter, is worth quite a bit of isk if you were to sell it. While I don't recommend this at all, mainly because it would mean having to start over...you would however get a nice decent amount from doing it. Another option would be to leave your corp, but ask the ceo to make a manditory "corp friend" channel so that all the corp members could join, as well as you, you can still interact with them, help them out, and have fun, while being in an NPC corp to avoid the war. If anyone else has any ideas, please post.

We have gone to your system multiple times, with as few as 2 to 4 people. Most times, you guys have the upperhand in firepower, but refuse to undock. Sitting there for 30 to 45 minutes with nothing but silence isn't much to get excited about. So, don't post that sort of comment if your not willing to back it up. We have on multiple times, yet none refuse to undock unless you have 15+ members againt 2 to 4 of us.
And lastly. Jackson, yes, we are all responsible for our own actions. But, when I claimed it was Evotech's fault for me attacking you, is comepletly true. I don't think you fully understand the game mechanics on this..and honestly, most don't. We went to war with evotech, not ISS. Evotech, instead of going at us solo/nor paying the ransom, chose to join the ISS alliance. One reason, based on an evemail we recieved from a director/ceo? in evocorp is that they would do this, so the price would jump to 100 million isk a week. Plus, when you throw in 1200+ pilots in an alliance, its a nice bonus for defense. Really doesn't matter what they claim to be their reasoning, the fact remains, they turned to ISS for help, and in doing so, they brought a pirate corp along with them. Any and all losses are based solely on that choice of action.
Really do hope you continue to play, as Eve is really a great game. I know its a hard lesson to learn, but don't ever let a game bring you down that much. Real life is so much more important than any game will ever be. And honestly, my thoughts and (has hard as it is to believe) my prayers do go out to your child. The best you can do for your child is to speak life into their life. Never lose hope.

We already have a channel for friends of the corp to loiter in. Hell, we tend to talk in there far more then in the actual corp chat (unless it's something we want to keep restricted). As I think Jackson said, we're a friendly bunch.
Anyway, hopefully Jackson won't be quitting. I think we have plans to get things sorted (as soon as our latest investment starts paying off).
Anyway, wish I could be out there helping "getting some revenge" but I'm on the wrong shift at work this week. Still, seeing as the war is continuing I guess that means I'll have ample opertunity at the weekend :) Doubt you'll recognise me though as I'll be flying with my far more combat competent alt :)
Good fighting and see you on the battlefield

Guys its just a game.
The ZOMG you are killing an industrial alliance you grieferz is totally illogical. Piracy and War is part of the game, just like mining and building and hauling is part of the game. Expecting Pirates (Mercenaries, whatever) to be "honorable" is really gullible. I don't expect anybody to be honorable, I expect them to be sneaky and underhanded.
Don't ask yourself "Can I trust this guy" ask yourself "Why should I trust this guy."
Jackson I'm really sorry about your personal issue, I'm sure many of us have similar stuff going on, but please understand that this game can be harsh if you don't follow the cardinal rule : Fly only what you can afford to lose.
If you only fly disposable ships and wear no implants, nobody can ransom you, you can feel free to fire on anything.
Also you should go make an alt hauler, to haul stuff around empire during wars.
Your main should be prepared to fight at all times, you should expect to get jumped at pretty much any gate, any time you bump into the enemy, so either be prepared to kill him first, or be prepared to hit the MWD button and make a run for the gate.
Anyway this is not the place for tips of PVPing, but those are some very simple guidelines to follow.
Good luck to all sides, have fun, and try not to pop a blood vessel.

They were "hired" by some unnamed corp to war on another industrial corp (Funda) due to that corp outselling them in Frigates..lol. We doubt there really was a corp that hired them mainly because they themselves stayed docked up carebearing it with eachother about 90% of the time we found them. Long story short, we joined in, along with a few other corps to defend Funda , the very corp they were hired to attack. Ironic enough, Funda's sales increased by 75% due to the war...as Soar Angelic was unable to interupt their targets business trade...partly because of the dock and hide method of attacking. Needless to say, I believe after a week, and heavy losses on their side...and more often than not, finding them unwilling to fight (brother corp of Evotech I believe), we withdrew the war to continue in our own interests. Just to be fair, they did get 3 of our ships that I know of, Manticor (mine), ferox, and an incurses i believe, from one of our newer members. However, I wouldn't call it skill, as it was during the release of RMR, when we all had a bit of "lag", just as their CEO claims.
We have just learned now, that it is a possibility...maybe, that they "may" be planning to attack us....lol. I sure hope no one paid this corp to do so, as they just wasted money. We VERY much look forward to this Soar Angelic. We also hope you have stepped up your "merc" efforts by stepping outside the stations a little more.
I will say this though, out of their entire corp, I believe Wierchas was the only one willing to fight. None of the others really willing to do much else. So, if ISS, Evo, or some other nameless rubble out there hired these guys to come at us...save your money.

Hehe, you seem proud of your achievements so far If it wasnt for the freighter, you would be seen as losing. Lets face it, it may have been better to wait until you have inflicted some serious damage to Evotech / ISS. A couple of cruisers, frigs and shuttles are nothing to brag about. For many of the people that will post and take the **** here, that would be seen as a slow day.

moral of the story: main thig in war is not how much u kill or loss, but how fast u can replace your lost ships and i think to replace so "big" loses for ISS is like to buy ammo for me thx

Baically i know what was fitted to these ships. Thats why i try to include the ship cost including fitting. I.E. what we actually lose when the ship is took down. The results of what we killed are not done in this way, just in what loot we have picked up.

Actually, most of us don't use the station but to refit or log. Why not stop already with your boasting Wierchas. When the only challenge your corp was willing to take on was one of your rax's VS one of our month old incurses pilot....doesn't say much about your willingness to fight. But, I guess now that your corp is not alone against us, your more willing to start doing some smacktalk. We look forward to the challenge of these other corps. No better way to train pilots in pvp, than to do it. Now that we have a corp after us that CAN fight (Battle Angels Inc), should be good for our guys to get some experience in it. Its a game, lets have fun :)
See you guys soon!

This war doesnt make sense, why ask for just 80mil to begin with?
Then continueing the war into iss to claim 150mil, Ive set ISS to +10 so I dont accidently shoot any and get banzored from their stations. Do you even realise what your giving up?
If you want to make a dent you really need to up your kills, if I went to war with ISS id probably get more than that in an evening by myself.

Open mouth, insert foot. For the millionth time, we went to war with Evotech. They were NOT part of the alliance when we went to war. They joined, to gain defence/hide/crawling to mommy, etc. and to jack the war bill price up to 100 mill a week.
We could careless now who pays or who doesn't, so far in a week and 2 days, we have pulled in more than 800+ mill by not even trying, and costing them about 3 times as much. Who cares now who pays. We were in it for the money, and thats what we are making. Evotech just "helped" us out a little more by running to the ISS alliance.

The long version
Piracy for us is an occupation, not a lifestyle. We kill people to make money, either through bountys or loot. There will be no financial success against Battle Angels quite simply because not only are there members better than us, there are five times as many. Only a fool walks into a fight they cannot win, and i dont intend to be that fool.
I would relish the oportunity to fight Battle Angels on an even footing, if not in skills then in numbers, but of course this wont happen. They do their job, we do ours.
There will be a short period of recouperation and training for our combat members, who will all drop out of the corperation to do this, thereby preventing reprisals from malcontents.
Our primary goal from the original mission against evotech was the payment of a 40 million bounty, or the harvesting of 200 million in loot. Our current projected income (some stuff hasn't sold yet, WTS: 11700 ferrogel) is in the 800 million mark; i'm considering the mission a success regardless of our forced sebatical.
Abaddon rising will be back in town in the near future, once our new setups and relevent skills are in place.
The short version
Were scared to death of the FuBaR BA death squad, and will be running like little girlys and hiding in noob corps until they leave us be.
