Apostles? These kind of repairs are good for something makeshift. You know, to make sure the ship survives the engagement and doesn't fall apart, or its power systems don't implode. Proper maintenance takes time, resources, people, drones, tests and a proper dockyard.

It sounds like there's structural damage, and armor reps can't fix that. And we all know how hard it is to run hull repairs outside of station.
I guess what I'm trying to say is Nanite Paste Can't Heal Trit Beams.
Besides, it's the Empress's ship. The repairs could probably take just a week or two to meet most standards, but I'm sure TES Purity must be more than perfect.

Yup. Because locally-fitted nanoassemblers couldn't rebuild the plates in a matter of hours, just like we do regularly. Let's be honest, Purity is going to be in gravdock for eight weeks because they'll want to take the time to make sure the freighters weren't a distraction, with the explosions being used as a way to crack the plates and get something else inside the hull. So they're going to be cautious, what with the whole 'insurrection', and they're going to make a big show of going over the ship to 'fix' everything while they quintuple-check every bulkhead for hidden bombs or surveillance systems, let the crew who were injured by the concussive force heal up, and redouble the background checks on all of them.
Meanwhile, the non-capsuleer Empress has no reason to need the ship in the intervening time. It's not going to be part of normal combat patrols. It's there in case she needs to go someplace. Which she doesn't, and won't for the forseeable future, as she's likely to be busy getting settled into the business of being Empress for the next while. They say the first hundred days is important, after all.
So why rush things? Put it in gravdock for eight weeks. Take it nice and slow, and be thorough. The ship is almost certainly already combat-ready again. The six Apostle-class Force Auxiliaries that were present would have needed roughly thirteen minutes to completely rebuild the armor plate across the entire ship, even if it had been completely stripped, which we all know it wasn't. What's more, you know that. You're not RoninGÇöyou're just as capable as I am of doing the math on the performance specifications of an Apostle and how long it takes to rebuild the armor plate on an Avatar-class titan, even taking into account the new capital-scale plates. Even pretending you buy into the 'we crippled the ship for eight weeks' nonsense for purposes of your own chest-beating just makes you look more clownish than before.
So yes. You made a big splash that was pretty much erased by the time you got here to brag. Which means it had no effect.
Which makes you ineffective. And investing so much effort into bragging about your ineffectiveness? It's one thing from a line member. In the guy who's supposedly running the whole Alliance and should have better things to do with his time? It's ridiculous. |

That's actually not true. While the nanobot assemblers used on an Apostle's primary remote assistance systems focus on armor plate, systemic damage can be addressed via the use of Type II Heavy Hull Maintenance bots. The nanoassemblers they dispense interface with the ship's systems in order to rebuild structure and critical systems according to the ship's internal schematics. That's why, even though every capital ship has small variations in the placement of consoles, paneling, and even minor structural elements, the nanoassemblers can be used on every ship, even in the case of logibots picked up adrift in space only moments before, all without having to load specialized scripts or datasets.

Empress's ship may as well be full of hand-crafted gold statues of, I don't know, Amarr Heroes or something. People pay top notch money for this kind of stuff.

If I was in charge of the Empress's barge, I'd do a damn sight more than just repair the battle damage. I'd probably cut entire sections of the hull and frame away and scratch-build replacements.
I'd also do more than pull modules and systems off the shelf. I'm sure it'll take eight weeks to finish but I'm also sure everything will be very carefully manufactured to order out of materials that are purpose-mined by extremely trusted resource gatherers.
They probably ARE manufacturing all the effected sections from scratch.

You should see some of the armour plate welds on my Condors and Merlins, Jaret. I doubt that disposable but functional standards apply to the Imperial titan, is all.

Nano assemblers like the ones projected during tether can repair a ship very quickly.
Either way, 8 weeks or a few minutes, you are still bragging about failing to do anything else but inconvenience the largest nation in New Eden and the richest person in New Eden for a short time. Rote feels that this is some crowning achievement that demonstrates their "noble" ideals. It is not.

We were not trying to sway those who would take the collar upon themselves and call it a gift, but if it feeds into your feeling of self-worth then so be it.
The message was seen by those who needed to see it. The point was not to kill the Empress... that would have just been an added benefit. So you can bicker about the relevance of our deeds, or the lasting effects on the "Empire." Your words here will not change what is to come, and they are nothing but a passing fancy to us. |

- Termination of your cloning contracts. You are still on CONCORD leash.
- Outlawing of your organisations. Saw Serpentis? Yeah. Turn on the media machine, place a price tag, promise rewards and you are done.
I think you are not quite aware that you can be undone in mere moments. This is the reality. You have caused enough headache to good people in your organisation and I really don't understand why you are still its employees.
I don't know if you're a naif or an idealistic idiot. This is what Rote Kapelle is. Lady Lagann is an outlier, not the baseline.
As far as what is going to happen to Rote: nothing. Do you actually think that CONCORD is going to deactivate the clones of an entire alliance just because they tried to kill the Empress?
A few years ago, I tried to arrange an assassination of one of the Tribal chiefs. I think that MiniLuv tried to hit the Starkmanir one, but I'd have to go look. Not only did Goonswarm make the attempt, they exposed that CONCORD was illegally letting the Minmatar use their shielding technology, which is why the assassination attempt failed. (Sorry, Arrendis.)
Nothing happened to Goons. Nothing happened to me. Nothing happened to Warr's fleet. There was a security status hit, but that was all.
Rote Kapelle already lives in low security space. People already try to kill them. I am sure that if someone sent pilots after them, they would just enjoy the targets. The Serpentis are just targets to capsuleers, Rote can fight back.
As far as a lawsuit goes, I had an explanation, but I can't type and laugh at the same time.
You might be thinking of the time CONCORD dropped the hammer on you all for Tukoss's brain. The simple fact is that they got away with it because they had leverage on you all. You were weak. Any of the other capsuleer groups would have laughed and gone back to ignoring CONCORD.
As for me? I get it. I'm leashed. But I know what it's like to run free in the wild. And Rote doesn't give a ****. None of this will be settled with words, or in a court room. It will be settled in space, vi et armis. Either put missiles in your tubes or shut up.

CONCORD appears more than happy to allow capsuleers to resolve their issues among themselves. Which essentially means if you're any good at the old ultraviolence the consequences for any actions undertaken, no matter how terrible or atrocious others may find it, remains effectively nil.
From personal experience, about the only real consequence of upsetting Amarrian loyalist capsuleers was...

...oh, right, they don't invite you to their parties anymore. Yeah, that was about it.

I will point out it's a little more then just not coming to parties.
Every Amarr loyalist now has to question if it is appropriate to be seen in Drifter Fleets commanded by pilots from Rote. This affects ARC just as much as it does Lady Steward Lagann's corporation. CVA is still discussing its position on this so I can't comment further.
For other events hosted by pilots from Rote like the up coming AT viewing party, again the same question applies. Pilots from the Rote alliance that have little or nothing to do with this forum, or the wider capsuleer community we are a part of, have singlehandedly caused a diplomatic mess that the adults are going to have to sort out. Potentially for years to come.
It's these repercussions and the affect that they will have on genuine friendships that is at stake. I'm hoping for the sake of Lady Steward Lagann that we'll be able to move past this issue and continue as normal, but that just isn't guaranteed at this point.
For the sake of 'keks' as much as political statement, Rote has landed a number of their own pilots a pile of **** to deal with that they just plain didn't deserve, and it's already spreading to affect other groups and their interests.
I kindly ask again that the dog pile ends, everyone moves on, and we can be left to pick up the pieces of the ties damaged by this. Ties damaged quite directly by Rote's own hands.
