OFFICIAL response on behalf of ASCN High Command and Directly from myself.
1) ASCN will NEVER condone or use EXPLOITS.
-I have personally sent out EvE Mails making this VERY clear on about 20 separate occasions and all you spies out their KNOW this.
2) Lag is a function of old, overtaxed and outdated server hardware. ASCN will defend our territory with everything we have. If that means 600 ship ASCN fleets, so be it. If the server goes down it is not an Exploit.
3) If you catch ANY ASCN member using an exploit (especially BM's) a) Petition it and b) Prove it to me and I will kick them faster then Eris can lock a topic.
The attempts by the Anti-ASCN community to slander my Alliance, bend every post to their advantage and straight up invent B.S. to make us seem like the bad guys sickens me.
ASCN has ALWAYS conducted itself honorably and within the rules set by CCP. Beyond that we have ALWAYS fought against the use of so called "tactics" that are lame but that CCP refuses to label as exploits. On a great many occasions ASCN has gotten its butt royally kicked in Fleet Battles because we have refused to stoop to such tactics.
All I am hearing on this topic is basically the following:
-If ASCN (and allies) but together defensive forces so large that the serves crash they are using an exploit.
ôHow dare ASCN defend its territory with the full force of their resources!!ö I am a firm believer in bringing a tank to sward fight.
The facts are simple. ASCN can bring more then 400 players to a battle if we wanted to. If the servers could handle it, the battle would be amazing, but they canÆt. ItÆs not our fault that we are doing the EXACT thing an Alliance is all about, working together. Their was a time when the serves could handle a 300 vs 300 fleet engagement with minimal lag, I have been involved in many.
So all you quake kiddies running around complaining about ASCN blobs, lag and unfair fights just cancel your accounts now because ASCN wonÆt stop fighting. Go back to your tank-rush-spawn-point-pk-head-shot-macroing in some pointless FPS.
The only way this problem is going to get solved is if CCP spend about 50M (RL) ISK to upgrade the hardware and cleans up all the dead and useless items in the DB. Slandering and accusing ASCN of exploits wont fix the problem.
I personally invite every employee of CCP/GM/DEV to watch every ASCN battle in person and log everything that happens. I guarantee we wonÆt be using anything even remotely resembling an Exploit.
To BoB: Good fight today. Was really looking to be a great slug fest until the nodes went down,à. both times.
-ASCN High Command-
PS, This is my last post in this topic. Drakma started a very good topic for ASCN and BoB members. As usual, I would like to thank the EvE Community for destroying it.
