Originally by: prsr So as a prospective investor, uhm, how is ISS going to protect this station from takeover?
It seems a bit odd that ISS expects people to buy shares in a second hand outpost that is quite likely to be captured again soon.
There's a reason that announcement is delayed. If investment is to be opened, it's got to be done 'right' and at a guess that'd have to involve 'residents' of the area at a diplomatic level. -- We are recruiting
We sell carriers. |

Originally by: Joerd Toastius Or maybe some of the northern residents are trying to look at this objectively rather than simply from the point of view of their own interests? Yes, it may be great for IRON, but that doesn't preclude IRON from coming to the conclusion that it's a questionable move for ISS.
Well I think as someone else said, they probably had a gun held to their head by BoB and are probably trying to make the best of it.
I'm sure they will be speaking to trust at the moment, probably offering them ISK or compensation from the outpost out of sight of BoB who would no doubt strongly object if ISS gave TRUST the full cost of the outpost.
Just stop for a minute and THINK about this. BoB obviously dicated the terms of this, with a loaded gun by their side. I would be very suprised if ISS aren't secretly talking to Trust right now, as we all w**re this very thread.

This needs to be sorted out soon, because the damage may already have been done.
Well, I reckon that money is going to go to Trust as compensation for the outpost.
I'd be willing to bet a lot of ISK on it too...

If I had been the one trying to figure out what to do with the outpost, I would of came to the same conclusion. ISS... If they had said they didn't want it, I would have politely told them to take it. If they still refused, time to lay siege to their other outposts until they take it.
Love being forcefull...
I had nothing to do with any of this btw. Just how I would handle it, and prob why I'm not a BoB "diplomat". Fear the Ibis of doom. |

No, no, no.... BoB would have forced ISS into this, but I reckon there will be 'behind the doors' discussion with Trust from ISS.
I'd be willing to bet a lot of ISK that ISS give trust the full cost of the outpost. They may not make it public information for fear of BoB retaliation, but mark my words... it will happen.

Can you look at this thread and say with straight face it wasn't worth it for this alone :s
What you like being remindend that there are hordes of EVEians that are completely toons. ( Most not ISS, BoB in this thread )
ISS isn't neutral because of this? What options are there? SOmeone needs to manage it. And this is the best solution for well everybody.

ISS, you could have said no 
But we don't know what pressure ISS were under.
God knows what BoB could have said to them if they didnt accept - perhaps ISS were scared after seeing what happened to EC... I don't think any of this will be that simple.
Its a brave move for ISS, and I genuinely believe they mean well... And I can see how it would work.
But don't for one second think that they didnt have a gun held to their head when they 'agreed' to do this.
This is probably true

WTB a shed load of spike S 
What is it with the IRON/G/RAZOR block? An organisation friendly to them is given the outpost BoB conquered, and they whine?
Perhaps they would have preffered it if they had just lost the outpost for good to BoB and never seen the inside of it again?
Get. A. Clue.
ISS have clearly stated they will give the outpost to TRUST if they want it.
Am I the only one who doesnt understand what their problem is? ISS seem to have done them a huge favour, and all they can do is posture. Its pathetic.

Actually, that's probably what would have happened, and I have to say that it's the best course of action for BoB to take insofar as getting "rid" of a station.

So BOB has a problem having an Outpost in EC. If ISS becomes the problemsolver that makes them looses their neutrality status imo.
I'd suggest you to turn down the proposal and keep your members neutral, someone will claim the outpost one way or the other.

And what if that wasnt an option because BoB were holding a loaded gun to their head (which lets face it seems likely)?
At least ISS are saying that Trust can walk in and claim it if they want to risk that. They seem to have done the North a favour.

Originally by: Count TaSessine - The no-docking list from our other outposts will be applied with immediate effect in Cassini. This means that BoB, among others, will not have docking rights to the station due to their repeated violations of our system wide no-fire zones in the other ISS outpost systems.
In other words, we have no reason not to

Actually, I have read through all of these posts, and noticed how extreme a lot of the viewpoints are.
Basically, If I was an investor in ISS (as some of those with concerns in this thread are), I would be questioning:
1. Neutrality 2. The necessity of raising shares in something already constructed, and where the proceeds would go 3. The impact on the ISS investors in the alliances that this move may have affected.
I agree, the handing over by Bob of the outpost is a great move, as they are not tied to one of the most contested systems in Eve. They accomplished their goal, and kudos for that.
However, as an investor, I would be concerned with the public image this has generated. I would be concerned with raising cash on the hard work of others, and would be concerned with the affect it will have on the other investments already flying the ISS banner.
Personally, I think this was a lucky score for ISS. They got an outpost one jump from empire for free. As I am not a part of the ISS, I really don't care about their neutrality, and as a non-investor their share price means nothing to me whatsoever.
What I am saddenned by is the affect this is obviously having on the reputation of ISS, and the negativity foreshadowing it's future. The ISS relies primarily on reputation for success, and without a strong and unbiased reputation, it becomes a major problem. I like the idea of ISS, and if i had the cash I would have been part of it - it is a truly visionary idea in an otherwise tainted game.
I would suggest you make your plans public sooner rather than later, and appease your investors. Perhaps by splitting the shares amongst all of your current investors for nothing? (just a idea) Profiteering from this move will only incite hate and violence against the ISS - something you can do without.

I don't see what losing a few carriers has to do with anything.
And what do you propose happens to the station in EC? BoB have said they won't tolerate TRUST moving back in, no-one else seems to want it... ISS would run it as an open station and not-for-profit like all their outposts.
I see a lot of flames but no realistic suggestions which work - that outpost isnt going away, someone needs to manage it.

They kicked you from Delve many months back but never chased you even when they easily could have. Do you really think you re that important that they would make you primary after resetting all standings to neutral.
However, assuming they would make you primary because of your refusal, you might become the rallying factor for all those in EVE with a grudge towards BOB.
But I dont think it is going to roll that way as too many pilots in BOB also are some of your shareholders.
So you might be the last ones to have a go a bandwagonneering the BOB

Many seem to fail to realizesoemthing: Its BoB's problem that their 'friends' dont want to maintain it, as some1 above said, the fact ISS solves problem for BoB, voids their naturality in the eyes of many ppl. ---------------------------------------------- All my posts are my own opinions and dont not represent any organization until stated otherwise. |

Get a third party to manage it ..... and as there is only 1 alliance in Eve who can / does run multiple outpost ... ISS
Indeed. Its not like ASCN has 10 outposts (and the 11th now under Axiom).
As for holding the EC-P8R outpost, for deep 0.0 organizations, particularly those not up north, it holds nothing they would want or need.

The Day will come when the skies of EC-P8R will darken and the ghosts of all the Pod Pilots killed there will rise, and like a tide of both hope and sorrow, wash away the hurt of EC-P8R and LO ! the cearbears will rejoice for there will be crokite for them to mine safely once more.

Most people have a grudge against BoB but seem incapbable of doing anything about it. I don't see how ISS making themselves sacraficial lambs would have changed anything.
As it stands, the North have their outpost back. ISS are saying they will let TRUST walk in and take it, if they want to. So, I'm really not seeing why the G/IRON would have a problem.
They need to take the fight to BoB, then maybe they might actually achieve something.
