It's been a long and bumpy ride for the past 9 months for BLUE, and many died en route.
It is with sadness but few regrets that we pull the plug on this project, as we honestly believe we couldn't have done much better on a first experiment of the sort (at least for the corps involved), and we want to extend our gratitude to all who supported and believed in it.
Our doors have been closed to the public for the past 2 months, due to the constant siege the IPS-QB constellation has been under, and before we leave the area we will reopen the station to all neutral entities so that people who have gear in the Blue Pill get a chance to recover it.
Be warned though, that sovereignty has or is about to drop as you read these lines, and that any travel in IPS-QB or to the Blue Pill is entirely at your own risk.
As an alliance created to serve the project of an open, neutral and welcoming 0.0 industrial settlement on the borders of empire, BLUE no longer serves its purpose and will be shelved.
BLUE standings will be reset, individual corporations in BLUE are free to manage their standings as they see fit from this moment on.

A sad day for eve I think, variety is the spice of life and the Big Blue project was an interesting one. Without game mechanics like constellation sovereignty, however, it was always an outside chance at survival.
ISS choose the route os simply buying loyality from its neighbours, a valid route, but BB tried to creat an actual neutral space, but one which was sadly not respected.
The truth is that eve is full of people who like to destroy the efforts of others and very few people willing to take on the momentus challenge of trying to create something new in the game.
So politically I was no ally or friend of BB but I respect what you tried to do and I am sad to see it end.
Perhaps the future will see you attempt again.
Thanks

I'm sad to see it end. It was the perfect way to show new players the advantages of 0.0, and it created a strong bond between players.
Good luck with your alliance's future endeavours.

Sad to see you go, guys. I think you should've recruited more PvP corps into your ranks (I mean PvP corps that will undock and fight). You had a strong industrial backbone, and with a good PvP wing you could've done great things. Looks like MC war was the mortal blow to Big Blue 0.0 ambitions.
Gl to you all.

It's a shame this finally happened. Perhaps the problem wasn't in trying to stay 100% neutral, but dabbling in capital ship construction. It took alot of guts doing what you did, mucho respecto

Always liked you guys, probably always will. For what it's worth, you marched out with your heads up, and your backs straight, which goes a lot to say about your class.
Salute TBB

IĈm sure Ill be joined by all members of Eve University in thanking NAGA and the other corporations that made up BLUE for the opportunity that being part of this project afforded us: An opportunity to do something positive for the game, to move beyond the constraints of what we could do individually to attempt to achieve something greater; An opportunity to open the eyes of a generation of new players to the risk and rewards of stepping out from under the wing of Empire space; An opportunity to rise to the challenge of fighting for a goal worth fighting for, a goal worthy of the efforts and energy of those whom came together to be part of BLUE.

Absolutely. I'm thankful that I was given a chance to see and benefit from 0.0 space, and join a neutral alliance so early in my career, and greatly sadened that new players today have lost that opportunity. The Big Blue was the greatest idea and the greatest endevour undertaken by players that I've ever seen in a MMO, and my deepest respect goes to those who organised and contributed to it.
Tonight, Eve is a little poorer; space a little emptier and colder.

Im not sure where this idea that IPS was integral to NAGAĈs T2 production emerged from as all of NAGAĈs T2 industrial operations take place in empire. Complex reaction products needed for T2 stuff are just bought via contracts on the open market.
The large POS network BLUE maintained was to hold sovereignty, not some industrial backbone. Due to the extremely poor moons in IPS the only way for such to pay for itself was to import moon minerals and react them. The profits from such went mostly into fuel and paying a stipend to the people whom looked after individual towers. If you dont believe me, scan the moons for yourself. The highlight of IPS is one Vanadium moon, the rest are just gasses and cheap metals.
There was no hidden agenda with the motivations of those involved in BLUE, it was conceived as project furthering NAGAĈs core ideal of empowering the small guy, be it ensuring that T2 stuff equipment isnt the preserve of the big alliances, or attempting to open up a small neutral area of 0.0 to everyone, introducing people to 0.0, somewhere to learn how to operate to minimise the risks while gaining its rewards.
Feh, perhaps Eve deserves an evil NAGA.

Such a pity. Sorry to see a noble effort like yours go to waste.
I hope the MC and their Customer (if there was one) are happy with the way its turned out in the end.

I think they should've organized a PvP defence force, secured the system, and only then to place those Capital Ship yards. At least that may had forced the employer of MC to attack directly and not to hide behind mercenaries.
