CVA hold majority of OP with Sylph holding IS-. Providence is a free fire zone to U'K and alot of CVA's opportunistic allies are currently feeling the heat as they're under constant attack from other regional forces. CVA and co tend to operate NRDS, majority of other forces will shoot you for using and supporting CVA space.
You're most welcome if you're planning to bring haulers full of loot though :)

Being honest, I wouldn't recommend it. Providence is constantly raided by a lot of competent PvP groups. If you want ISK stick to L4 missions.

well, ISS is still around, they live in the Esoteria region of the former ASCN space pretty close to the front lines of the current southern war.

Providence is a lovely spot. Friendly locals, lots of pretty colours to be seen.
And CVA are often about, and if you ask nicely, they'll show you their funky disco-lighting, in the tachyon beam variant.

Bum Pilots are hostiles and might be a bit biased Why not drop a mail to a CVA pilot? Information can easily be provided that way.
The political maps are out of date for a couple of reasons. 1) CVA is not particularly concerned about them and 2) The map makers are not particularly interested in Providence ;)

Don't listen to Pezzle, CVA just want more meatshields... it goes something like this:
* CVA announce a 'joint operation for the benefit of a secure Providence' * They all fit T2 snipers and sit safely off a gate * All their pets with zero PvP skill blob on the gate * 'Evil' PvPers jump in * All the pilots from their pet alliances die (usually in drakes and ravens), whilst CVA pop ships from a safe distance in their tachyon geddons, chuckling to themselves
And thats pretty much life in Providence for a CVA pet... plus you die repeatedly when these kind of debacles arent going on, to roaming gank squads since CVA can't secure all the entrances.

How is this different from any other system lockdown? You put your heavy damage dealing capable pilots at range where they will be safe and bubble the gate. Tacklers and support sit on the gate at their optimal and hope to keep those that are in the bubble tackled. It's not rocket science, it's the way PVP works in EVE Online.
When those "pets" have enough experience and can field a decent sniper then they can go sit at range and destroy people as well.
Debacle? Hardly a debacle, this is the way fleet ops work.
I've sat on gates and I've sniped, I much prefer being right in the mix, right in the bubble on the gate ready to lock down everything that comes through. Those snipers? They're worth a hell of alot more than a tackler.
Don't knock on CVA for doing something smart. Quickly, cover yourself, your ignorance is showing.
EDIT:
If you think you're being treated unfairly by being asked to perform the role of your ship then leave hostile space, go back to Empire, go mine. What's good for the fleet is good for everyone, repeat that, hammer it into your skull. Write it on a mirror so you see it every single day. If you were to lose a smaller ship while holding down a battleship so your snipers could tear it apart all the better.
What's good for the fleet is good for me, what's good for the corporation is good for me, what's good for the alliance is good for me.
Repeat it, know it, live it.

When you call your support fleet meatshields you do them a big disservice. You should respect those who are willing to throw their own assets on the line to keep you from getting ripped apart.
Next time you're able to absolutely annihilate some battleships because some guy had the testicular fortitude to fly right through the enemy blob while damping, jamming and tackling you'd best think about what you called them today. A sniper fleet is nothing without their support gang.
They're the people who win the day, they're the people who are willing to charge headlong into battle against all odds to keep the enemy from stomping you into oblivion.
These people are the key to your fleets success or failure. They don't get top on the killmails, they don't field the most expensive ships, they don't ask for anything more than to keep the fleet alive and winning.
Your disrespect is absolutely disgusting. Someday you'll find yourself heading into hull and nobody will be around to throw some repair drones on you or damp the person making short work of you.
You must be one hilariously big failure of a pilot if you'd treat support as nothing more than "meatshields".

Hope Butter Dog thanks you for bailing him out by trying to make his post look like he was trolling. Good tactic there.
So does this mean that if I were to say something completely idiotic and ignorant I could just escape the massive failstorm by saying "lulz k guys I was just trolling no hate plz"?
Oh please, try harder.

Why are talking to me as if BUM use pet alliances as meatshields? We have no pets and nor do we wish for any, we do our own dirty work. We support our snipers with point defence and dictors, not suicide gangs.
Anyway, here are the facts you seem oblivious to;
CVA blob their pets on the gate, depsite zero PvP skill, as nothing more than a delaying tactic when hostile forces jump though. Nothing wrong with that - it works for them. But don't pretend there is any glory in dying needlessly when a couple of dictors would do the job better and with less 'pet' casualties (but so long as they don't show on CVA's killboard I doubt they care).
Its all about participation. A lot of the CVA pets cannot fight their way out of a paper bag, but when mommy CVA ask them to participate they dutifully step in line. CVA are then presented with a load of poorly fitted Drakes, Caracals and Ravens which are of no use whatsoever other than cannon fodder.
But, despite the fact that the only support snipers needs is point defence and dictors, they choose to blob their pets on gates so the fire is directed at them rather than the more expensively fitted (and useful) CVA ships.
Don't pretend there is any glory in being a CVA pet. You're relegated to the status of an expendable slave, and treated accordingly.

Again you continue to refer to support as meatshields, be it your own or not. The point is flying so far above your head that it's become a danger to local aircraft.
These people do as they do for the greater good. Poorly fitted Drakes and Tech 1 fitted Ravens sounds like decent enough support material to me. Of course there is always going to be a superior support gang consisting of role specific T2 ships. Showing up in anything just shows they're there for CVA and willing to help no matter what.
Give me 20 poorly fitted but loyal pilots over 60 pilots like yourself. You who would mock those that would show up in a Raven. They could easily bring Tech 1 frigates but they don't. They're bringing the best they can field, they're doing the best they can given the situation and to the best of their ability.
You're a fool for not celebrating these pilots, an ignorant disrespectful pilot who has no business being in a fleet.
These pilots could leave at any time and find something else to do in EVE, perhaps join a different alliance, perhaps go to Empire, who knows. Yet they stay and fight with their fleet. They'll bear the brunt of insults from tools like yourself, they'll keep putting their assets right in the middle of the fight. They'll show up, they'll fight, some will die, some will not. Pets? No, they're members of the fleet, just as important as the sniper sitting 150km+ from the gate, just as important as the hauler pilot sitting in the POS with extra ammo.
The disrespect you show the enemy fleets support speaks volumes about how much you really value your own.
You've got nothing on these pilots Butter Dog and you never will.

You've got nothing on these pilots Butter Dog and you never will.
I'm not calling support ships 'meatshields'. I'm calling CVA pet alliances 'meatshields', and demonstrated how CVA use them as such, to great personal cost to many young pilots in Providence.
A distinct difference, but one you clearly do not understand, since based on your post I can tell you have zero skill or knowledge when it comes to PvP.
How many large gangs or fleets have you FC'd? I suspect the answer is zero, so allow me to explain a few basic facts.
Sniper groups NEED good support to function well. That comes in the form of dictors, EWAR, and point defence. However...
PVE fitted drakes and ravens, piloted by newer players with no understanding of how to operate in PVP are a liablity - not effective support. I would never fly with such pilots, I'd rather they left their ships at home because they are nothing more than a liability.
The CVA know this too, but they encourage their meatshield alliances to turn up in numbers. Why? Well, mostly its a delaying tactic - if hostile gangs are shooting the PvE fitted drakes and ravens blobbed onto a gate, they are not shooting CVA. It serves them well, but 'support' they are not. 'Cannon fodder' would be a more accurate term.
What CVA do in these instances, rather than having effective support in the form of specialised support pilots, is invite their meatshield alliances along to play 'blob'. I've witnessed first hand countless engagements where CVA's pets have suffered horrendous losses, whilst CVA themselves get out with minimal losses. This enables CVA to claim a 'killboard victory' but at terrible cost to their meatshields.
Well done CVA. Nice tactic. But that isnt effective use of support (and please, stop trying to convince the world that PvE fitted drakes and ravens are anything other than cannon fodder, because effective support ships they are not).
What it is, is excellent use of CVA's mainly industrial meatshield alliances. CVA are singlehandedly responsible for the destruction of hundreds of their pet alliances ships.
But you just go on convincing yourself that drakes and ravens piloted by people who have zero idea how to fit or fly in PvP are 'effective support', if it makes you feel better.
The rest of us can sit back and chuckle.

Butterdog, stop with the bull****, seriously.
CVA has no pets. People help us because they want to help us and that is because we spend the majority of our time helping them. The neutrals that you dismiss as 'pets' do not pay us rent nor are they forced to help. They do so because they know that CVA space is the one area where they can go about their business unmolested and without interference from some 'overlord'.
It is CVA that puts its fleets on the line night after night and we rarely even ask for help from our allies unless we are outmatched/outblobbed ourselves.
I am sure many of the neutrals that live in our area would actually prefer if CVA involved them more...
We don't use anyone as 'meatshields'. Anyone involved in one of our operations knows exactly what they are getting into and their role in the fleet.
Yes sometimes 'neutrals' are used as bait primarily because YOU and many of the other raiders in Providence run a mile at the merest sniff of a CVA ship because you know we are gonna kick your arse.
Just last week we had some HUGE fights with Cruel Intentions in R3.
(A slight digression - Cruel Intentions is an alliance that I respect. They really bring it. They know what they are doing and they are not afraid to fight outnumbered - nor do they spend their time smacking on the forums. I would suggest that you - and I mean you in particular (not BUM as a whole because I actually like many BUM pilots) - should take some lessons from them because constant forum smack unsupported by ingame action really looks pitiful.
Anyway, back on the subject of our fights with CI, we did request 'neutral' help on a few occasions because at certain times we don't have the capability to kick 'em out on our own. No shame in admitting that.
Yes neutrals lost ships in those engagements - but go look at CI's killboards - CVA lost even more. We don't ask anyone to do anything we don't do ourselves.
In one of the fights we used CVA as the bait with friendlies coming in later. In another we had the friendlies in first with CVA arriving later. The strategies used depend on the circumstances and whatever we feel will produce the best outcome not some crude decision to let 'meatshields' take the losses.
Your clear attempt to try and divide CVA from its friends in Providence is transparent and demonstrates your lack of ability to damage CVA in any other way...
Your fairland analysis really does you no favours apart from generating ridicule amongst those who know the facts.
I know we podded you last week and you are probably a little upset over that but seriously stop with the forum warfare and just bring it.
We are waiting!
