Ascendant Frontier didn't lose just because their fighters weren't as capable as Band of Brothers. Band of Brothers didn't win because they fought better.
The reason Ascendant Frontier lost is because you weren't there to fill the power vacuum, provide direction and moral support. Ive seen it happen before. Organizations rally themselves around you. If SirMolle were to disappear in the heat of crisis, Evolution would be significantly influenced for the worse in regards to direction unless someone from one of the other mega-corps filled the void.
If theres any lesson to be learned, it isn't that one side fought better than the other. Ascendant Frontier's numbers would be enough without superior equipment or skills because it all does not mean one damn thing without strong leadership and organization. This has been proven time and time again, yet so precious few recognize this fact. Discipline, leadership, presence, and unity are the keys to victory. Band of Brothers knows this. The Red Swarm knows this.
Wake up and smell the roses guys; the leadership of such a terrific organization is 100% in the hands of the guys on top. A failure of the alliance will trace back, in some way shape and form, to a failure in you. Unfortunately, Real Life is one that cannot be avoided and takes priority over all else.
In my humble opinion, BoB should stay out of this. Its not your issue until CYVOK or his friends make the effort to reclaim what was lost. To you CYVOK, I cut you some slack. An alliance is your baby. It means a lot to you. It means literally thousands of man hours of effort. Its akin to being incapable of tending to your decade old garden because of extenuating circumstances in a bitter and harsh winter. CYVOK was unable to provide the garden the attention it needed and the Garden died.
But the ground can be tilled and new seeds can be sewn. If CYVOK can find the time, Ascendant Frontier can be reborn. If you can build an Empire once in this game, it is quite possible to build one again. If CYVOK has the time to make EVE his full-time effort, things can, and I expect will, become very interesting in a few months.
In the mean time, fly safe, and cut each other some slack. After all, it is a game that is meant to be enjoyed
