KIAEddZ Caldari KIA Corp	Posted - 2006.09.04 10:27:00 - [1] KIA ceases War activities on the Providence entities. Last night KIAs 3 week contract on CVA came to an end. This contract has been the toughest contract KIA has ever had, and that includes the failed BoB contract. I would like to start this summary of the Campaign in providence with an honest appraisal of KIAs performance and CVA's ability. CVA proved to be every bit adept at warfare as any of the entities that were sided against them. They fought hard, never gave away easy kills, and trapped and baited all day every day, for a mercenary corp, they were the ultimate nightmare. KIA has never had to work so hard for kills, and work hard we did. From the 3 major battles of the campaign, KIA took heavy tech 2 losses, winning only 1 of those engagements, and losing heavily in the other 2. CVA had our number and with the jamming capabilities of their gangs, taught us very quickly to not underestimate them. My congratz goes out to CVA, they will be around for a long time yet, and if the 30 or so hardcore PvP pilots that live in Providence right now stick around, it will be a good foundation to re grow their carebearing and industrial wings once again within their homes. Shortly after the contract started, NOS were added to the primary target list by our employer, they were living in the pockets of CVA, present at a lot of battles, and ever present in the entry systems of Mamet and Misaba. KIA engaged wherever we found them, but decided against a war declaration, forcing them to bring the fight to us in 0.0, a tactic that served us very well. We hardly saw PIE, and my address book barely showed more than a handful of them online at any time, and despite extensive agent searches and despatched gank groups, we scored very little in the way of kills vs these guys, and they scored virtually nothing against us. So to the figures.

KIAEddZ Caldari KIA Corp	Posted - 2006.09.04 10:28:00 - [2] Now to the overall Contract stats. Because of the overlap of kills from the differing entities, the overall stats paint a far better picture of KIAs performance. Contract - CVA/NOS/Pie Inc 2006-08-12 Kills:226 3914.38 Losses:64 1877.208 Efficiency:67.59% We very very rarely were in combat with any other entity as allies, we engaged mostly alone, and in fact a failed attempt at teamwork with Blood Inquisition cost KIA 6 Hacs and 2 Recons in a single battle, with fingers burnt we operated alone for I would say about 95%+ of the contract. CVA when in blob mode were nearly always backed up by NOS or Aegis, and KIA found the numbers the largest part if this contracts challenge. They were organised and quick to mobilise, a very scary proposition for a force like KIA. The secondary contract goal was to engage CVA friendly entities in Providence, we did this whenever possible, KIA regularly setup long term gate camps at the entry points to Providence, allowing only the Employers Blue List to pass safely, we hunted in all the main Providence NPCing/Complex and Mining systems, we gave no one rest, and maintained a very high level and overt presence, I am sure the residents will be glad to see the back of us Over 6 Billion ISK of damage was done to the residents of Providence, with losses barley reaching the 200 million mark. Overall a highly enjoyable 3 weeks in KIAs life, we dominated Providence space, but CVA were never going anywhere, we knew this from day 2, and again I would like to give my Props to the pilots that hold that space, gf. Antireal, IOU 1 podding ;) xx KIA are available for contract from 13/9/06, please contact me in game for tender. KIA Piccys

merc999 Caldari Turbulent Subversion	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:01:00 - [4] Congrats A Merc corps needs not only to proclaim its victories, but also within less succesful campaigns, acknowledge its weakeness's, evaluate them and try to compensate for them on its next contract. If I was hiring a merc corps I would be extemely wary of those who only ever make public its uber contracts and results, I want a corp that acknowledges that no corp is perfect, and that learns from its mistakes and weakness's. KIA's appraisal of its campaign is brutally honest, it tells me that this corp is one that will take its lessons and put them to good use next time.

I have to agree; your publicizing of less than fantastic results speaks in your favor KIA, it shows respect for your enemies and knowledge of your own weaknesses. Best of luck in your next contracts. -----

Nothing but BUG FIXES. New content that does not work is WORTHLESS.

Which is whacked TBH. This is one of the reasons I plan to use tonnage as another option for the new MC killboard. I have three command ship BPOs, including the awesome Astarte, and would kill to get 180m for any one of them. As for the contract, excellent work on the write-up Eddz. It's good to know there are marks out there who don't run down the rabbit hole at the first sign of trouble. I look forward to putting MC to the 'CVA Test' at some point in the future. Congrats to CVA for holding your ground against such odds. - Remember Shaelin

We also use the same killboard, and it's really good and rig0r offers great service. Agreed. I like the killboard, and rig0r, and meant no insult. My comment wasn't about the killboard so much as it was about the reporting of ISK damages. The widely fluctuating market values on almost everything in the game (a Cerb kill is worth 100m?), combined with the glut of ISK in EVE atm, make the amounts posted by anyone subject to debate in terms of how much actual 'damage' was done. I prefer to leave that door firmly shut these days is all. - Remember Shaelin

Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2006.09.04 12:05:00 - [27] Regarding the lack of involvement from PIE, we are a smallish corp and were mostly based outside of your primary theatre of operation, so the lack of large engagements is not entirely surprising. Congratulations on killing my Damnation by the way. I thought for a while that I was going to survive, but alas it was not to be. Dulce et decorum est, pro imperator mori

Solusar Amarr Auctoritan Syndicate Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.04 13:04:00 - [30] Ill contest the comment that you "dominated" Providence. While you scored alot of kills there with roaming Inty/Nanovaga gangs (most of them being outside of CVA space) you cannot dominate space with such a force. Anyone who goes into 0.0 looking to kill anything that moves in such ships is going to get a large amount of kills for virtually no loses, such is the mechanics of EVE.
