I recently made a post in general discussion about the problems caused by the new modifications to ore and compression in Revelations 3, and how this shows developer sympathy towards certain players, but thatÆs not all. I watch these forums a lot and I think you guys know a lot about politics (especially the posts by WhatIsItGoodFor) but theres something that youre missing here that IÆve uncovered.

Mercenary Coalition IsnÆt Done Fighting Yet

ThatÆs right people, MC may say that theyÆre not on contract anymore (and goons say thet theyre ****ed off at Bob) but its neither of those reasons, and mercenary coalition will still be fighting on BoBs side but in a more subtle way. Red alliance has kind of the same idea but they might not be as organized so it wont work. But before I start IÆll review what I posted in the other forum:
----------------------------------------------
Basically the fact that CCP is making mineral compression not work as much anymore is because low end mineral prices will go up and make Chribba richer because CCP wants to pay him back for making all his eve related websites (the link is in my sig by the way).
----------------------------------------------

But this is only really half of whatÆs going on here! MC is going to be using capitals or supercapitals (they have a lot) to camp lowsec without having to worryàbut despite what some people may think this isnÆt being done just for ****s and giggles û Mercenary Coalition will be fighting the export of minerals from empire before the compression nerf goes through.

Why are they doing this? Because this is part of SirMolleÆs plan to win the war (though his alliance is like him being the one-eyed man in the land of the blind lol)! It to halt the production of all capital ships not a part of Bob or his allies who are also involved in this plan (Dark SHikari is good with the markets to he may have planned it*)àbut how to do this without having to actually invade and risk lots of their own ships in the process?

Keep competing alliances from having enough low-end minerals to build them

Everone knows that the majority of low end minerals are made in high sec, compressed, and then moved out to 0.0. But CCP is nerfing mineral compression and making it taking it down to 0.0 to make capital ships with (from the first eve econ dev blog) and if MC blocks all lowsec gates with their capital ships but only take out ships carrying modules they can pretty much keep most low end minerals from leaving empire space (and more for Chribba lol) and therefore make people miner their own out in 0.0...but they can do this much more slowly than other minerals so it very much limits their production of capital ships, and those are essential to removing Poses and other things like taking out other capital ships (kind of like the civil war).

*Those blue robots are weird, they make me thing he has a my little ponies collection somewhere lol
