**Disclaimer** I don't speak for anyone in NoHo, just voicing my own perspective on the current state of WH affairs.
I will begin by saying that I woke up on Saturday morning with a hangover and a reinforced tower. The combination thereof resulted in my "gudfite" attitude immediately taking a backseat to my "eradicate the invaders at all costs" attitude.
I don't understand TOOL. You all seem really bitter about being "The only ones left" and yet you actively choose to live in the barren wasteland of C5 statics where 90% of the systems are either empty or risk-averse farmers and the chance of rolling into each other is over 1-in-500. Granted C6 space is by no means an amusement park, but the chances of you rolling into someone who can field a comparable fleet to yours would be significantly higher than your chances of connecting to anybody living in a C5, and it gets even higher if you actually move in (because you'll be occupying one of the empty C6s that you no longer need to roll through).
We regularly (a.k.a almost every time we rage roll) move a rolling fleet into a C6 > C5 for the slim chance of finding entities like SSC or Hard Knocks, but the odds of actually connecting to any given C5 is so remote that most of us don't put any credence behind the effort. The level of excitement when a scout calls SSC or Hard Knocks on the other side is comparable to that of a fat kid in a candy store. And now what I hear is that Hard Knocks doesn't actually live in a wormhole anymore, they just keep holding towers and capital ships in a random magnetar to grind isk in and base their fleets out of highsec (can someone confirm/deny?). If this is true, then why would we even bother to look for you at this point? What's the difference between rolling into you and rolling into a random farmer now in the larger scheme of C5 statistics?
Everyone is more than welcome to knock on our door at any time, and we're more than happy for people to go out of their way to find us instead of the other way around. We'll engage you in our home, in your home, or in a neutral static, without a batphone.
But when you kick down our backdoor with 130 dudes in the middle of the night and smash up our hardwood furniture and expensive China, you can damn well expect a burglar's welcome.
Thanks for the otherwise entertaining weekend. This must've been the longest I've stayed logged in for the entire year. You've even managed to drag Two Step out of his hibernation because being invaded is one of his wet dreams from the Nova days. |
