If someone thinks those are a good idea to attack, they'll have to deal with LV. Those stations belong to LV.

And people wonder why ISS's apolitical stance has been rejected by the other alliances. ISS was "getting in bed" with LV. Then, ISS gets attacked and who shows up... magically LV appears. Somewhere on these forums someone said "they just showed up for the fight" but you really don't think that if you had said "we want to fight this one ourselves" That they wouldn't back off?

Tbh, honest on it's own the LV-ISS deal could be seen as bias on ISS's part, however, one very important point, you've missed out on is the fact that ISS would have been open to similar arrangement with other alliances, even alliances hostile to LV
ISS has never dismissed off-hand doing business with any party; it's just a shame that more alliances didn't start a private outpost business with ISS; if that had happened, there would have been a lot more people showing up apart from LV.
Oh, and why would ISS want to fight a battle on their own? They are an industrial alliance and were not designed for large-scale conflict. I'm sure it was a case of "the more the merrier" from ISS's viewpoint.

I understand that they would have been open to a simliar arrangment with other alliances... the problem is that they shouldn't have gone into business with another alliance if they wanted to be "neutral" or "apolitical" or whatever word their charter says these days.
My understanding of the agreement for the LV/ISS stations is that LV buys a station, pays for it completely, ISS members hang out there and do carebear activitys there like build things, and mine. The benifit is that LV gets a market full of modules that they can buy, as well as office rental fees, docking fees and other station service fees. ISS gets any resources from the moons they have POS's at in the system, and the profits from selling things on the market.
This ties the two together closer than just a client - costomer relationship. The members of ISS who managed that station, might as well just join LV, they would retain all of the perks of using an LV station, with none of the drawbacks of being in ISS. (A "navy" that is too spread out to be effective)
to the other point: I believe you're right that they did think "the more the merrier" when The Enslaver was parked at a POS in F4r. The problem is managment of ISS failed to realize the consiquences of standing sholder to sholder with a very political alliance such as LV. That having LV onboard for the conquest of that system further sealed the marriage between LV and ISS. The NEW ISS IPO

Edited by: Xander Magnus on 11/01/2007 00:48:38 Ofcourse ISS isn't a pvp force, and the fact that people ridicule ISS for it shows they don't understand the concept. If ISS had been a pvp force to recon with the surrounding alliances wouldn't have been very fond of having ISS so close to their space. By not intimidating and posing a threat to other alliances there would be no reason to fear and attack ISS. The only pvp they did was trying to keep the pipes as clean as possible, which safed my life a couple of times I recon.
But ofcourse IAC has the perfect reason, of which I heard several:
1. ISS started it, which is kind of weird because IAC invaded ISS space first. But then again, placing market orders can be an act of aggression as well. There were several other reasons which are today referred to as: ISS didn't listen to our complaints in the past. Note this war started after ISS adjusted the charter to adhere to IAC concerns, which is dismissed as being too late.
2. ISS may not have started the war, but they sure as hell started attacking POS! They should have waited for us to do that first, we just kept our options open. Now you can see how very clever of us this is! If we did attack their POS first we could have said: we didn't say we wouldn't, and base out of The Bottleshop. Now we can say: we didn't reeeally plan on shooting POS, you made it into that and now we take their stations for a reason. Smart!
3. EVE is about shooting stuff. So we don't really need a reason, we'll just take those nice stations from the shareholders and enjoy the income. After all, EVE makes it possible for us to go back in time to where brutal strenght determined who owned something.
You may notice some sarcasm in there, but that's mostly because of the bashing ISS has gotten on the forums here. They don't deserve that, they worked hard on this concept and they have earned our respect for all they have achieved. If you want to take the stations and do the fleet battles go ahead, but respect your enemy, which goes both ways. Anyhow, the reason why this war started is probably not a point of discussion anymore, it's just a repetition of what we've already read.
Let it be clear I did not mention D2 here, they have reasons of their own that are a bit more convincing. This is really just a smart strategic move from their part, although I do feel sorry for the shareholders.
I somehow still have hope that one of the bigger alliances will step in and stop the fall of the outposts of ISS, or else prices will rise in 0.0 once more and I'll need to go to empire to get my stuff.

You don't have the first clue what you are talking about.
IAC products have always been competetively priced IAC has had stations in the area for quite some time IAC has balls to protect neutrals who are in IAC controlled space.
I think you will find that Catch is going to become a much better place for business.
As soon as this war ends we will go back to NRDS status and all neutral traders will be welcomed.

Ah - you just want to trade! Well if you wanted more stations in Catch to sell stuff from, why did not simply ask to buy our stations? They are after all publicly owned. If you had made reasonable offer I am sure that it would have been accepted.

I think that the ISS, Maelstrom and the Myriad Alliance will not be the only small alliances to being victims of this wars. The day you declared that you were a part of the block of Reds/Goons/AAA, and that your security was guaranteed by them, you also lost always to be an alliance that traded and mined small. The madness to attack your neighbor with crushing PvP for small reasons and then to destory them instead of peace will be yours to perhaps drink very soon.

Edited by: Pakmule on 11/01/2007 13:05:35 Nice reading comprehension. Nowhere in my post did I say that IAC was just a small mining and manufacturing alliance.
I stated that IAC would be going back to a NRDS policy as soon as possible. That neutrals would be welcome at the stations and IAC has the strength to actually make Catch safer than it was for those neutrals.
Putting up an outpost does little to bring civilian infrastructure to 0.0 without the strength to control that space and keep it safe for those civilians.
edit: Just to be clear. These posts are my opinions and do not necesarily represent the opinions of my corp or alliance.

We have been NRDS for a long time.
we only go to NBSI during times of war.
We are friendly to pirates because they don't shoot us, and they use NRDS in our sovergn space.
and the whole "i'll make a pirate out of you yet" is a joke on the fact that ISS called me a pirate.

I see. I guess like ISS, I just have trouble telling IAC jokes from IAC true intentions. 
Just curious though, why don't pirates shoot you? They shoot everyone else. If one of my ships is attacked and destroyed by pirates in IAC space what will IAC do about it? . . . Regards, August |

You've obviously never been to our part of space before the wars. Due to ISS's neutrality, they wouldn't, and couldn't, stop anyone from shooting anyone else. That's why PRI love ISS so much. Personally I think it was due to how far they were spread out.
Ever since our first outpost, and fighting CC/CDC back in the day, IAC has always maintained an armed presence in our area. Trading Routes such as the Doril Pipe were not always secure, but we did regular raid ups there to disrupt camps.
If you are neutural to us in our space during a NRDS time period, we will do our best to make sure you are safe. And being that it is 0.0, there is no way we can guarentee your full safety. Trying to reimburse losses to neutruals would be moronic, because everyone dies in 0.0.

Originally by: Nim9i5 I believe IAC and Goons just got murdered by ISS
We had a fight today yes.
We lost yes.
"murdered" no.
ISS and U'k forces decided to shoot a TCF pos in zxic that had been left un armed. they brought in a force of 150 pilots and 12ish carriers.
IAC along with goonswarm got lazy and took way to long to gather a reasonable force. Finally after whipping the miners into submision we had a combined gang of 100.
We decided to jump straight in, however, the ISS forces decided to jump into 2j as we jumped into ZXIC, we then chased the ISS forces about 5 jumps to w9 where they had a camp all set up and waiting for us.
After waiting 3 hours for a fight i was not about to turn tail and run. So i told the goons, "you jump, I jump" and i was not disappointed by the multi-tude of gate fires that followed. Needless to say we got salughtered on the other side.
As soon as i jumped in I was emergency warped to a safe, along with the rest of my gang. I knew the goons were on the gate and i couldn't in good conscience leave them there to die alone so I ordered all of my pilots back into the fight.
Lag was killer, it took me 2 minutes to reload the gate and about 10 minutes to lock my primary. During this time I noticed the numerical superiority held by ISS and gang warped to a safe.
We lost about 20 of 60 pilots. Killed 1 tempest and a rifter through the lag.
GF ISS, I sure hope its not the last.  --------------------------------------------

I've enjoyed both two fights this week, both GE- and W9-. I must say the lag was horrible in W9 - primaries were called however I saw no hostiles on my overview (or on our first three in command for calling targets). Very few things show up as I never saw IAC fully jump into W9. I just noticed 212 in local. We only had around 100 ish pilots also, not 150 at that time. I think while we were shooting the pos were we up a bit more, but we are very EU based. All our engagements seem to be at when everyone wants to go to bed.
Either way, gf both days and I hope to see some more as a Navy member. Pos war is dreadfully boring.
PS. I thought the GE- battle was way cooler, but somehow I managed to turn off fraps in the mashing of f1-8 :\ so I only have the W9- battle on fraps, which I'll be release a vid soon :D
PPS. Did Eight Bit Survive? He was in like 10% structure and I thought he exploded until I hear in local that he wanted a t-shirt saying he survived w9-.

Edited by: shanda captison on 12/01/2007 10:03:06 I was the same, targets were getting called and they were just nowhere to be seen! Then the best bit of all starting to take damage when according to my screen theres nothing there!
We re sorry for the smack, we were telling people to be quite just given it was late EU time i think quite a few people were pretty drunk! Gus Preston smacking us from another system (reported by our cov ops!) was just beautiful! 
Respect for jumping in and i was amazed how quickly you were moving considering we had a large bubble and dictor bubbles on every gate as we left. Was a bit of a scramble getting ourselves setup.
Anyway gf cya in space.

Edited by: Algey on 12/01/2007 12:08:55 I agree, that was a great fun fight. The last two battleship engagements have been equal, followed by us winning rather than handily (was rather a nice ambush I must say, was rather proud of that one). Much better than the couple before that where you absolutely hammered us to bits 
I still wish you'd just bought the pesky stations than forced me to stare at POS's though, I hate POS warfare.
