Official statement from the ISS CEO.
Recently, some trouble was stirred and **** was piling up around ISS. Many of you probably remember ISS acting as a neutral entity and creating something new in MMO's - looking from COAD perspective it's prehistoric age to most of the current EVE-Online player base. The situation and goals of the alliance today are very different... today we pretty much just want to shoot stuff :-)
In the south ISS have been at war constantly for almost a year starting with hostilities between ISS and IAC. For that reason ISS was slowly but surely pushed towards GBC, and ISS has contributed in many battles since then with GBC.
However, watching the GBC crumble under the onslaught of a better organized foe has been increasingly painful these past months. The last straw was when ISS docking rights to BOB stations was removed without discussion, warning or indeed for us without an ounce of coherent reasoning. Eve is a game of trust, and we find ours shattered as a result of SirMolle's actions.
Therefore, ISS will no longer fight on either side. From today, we turn a page in our history. ISS has reset standings to all entities in Eve, and we will continue to operate a NBSI policy.
If you wish to discuss standings with us, contact Count TaSessine on EU time or Serena Hennessy on US time.

i approve of this product and/or service
edit:
it was a wise move to 'suck up' to get station access back after the reset you, only to twist the knife once you had your assets out: this shows a modicum of cunning and thus something completely unexpected from you/iss
and yeah we're not welcoming iss with open arms we pretty much want them to cease to exist and stop posting forever but gotta say they get mad props and much respeckt for dis

So this. Count Tasessine reveals himself as way smarter than what I previously thought.

Oh anyway, let's keep it real, ISS still sucks and this story is giving us a lot of amusement. It's even more amusing because it's all propaganda, since no one ever considered ISS an actual fighting force sided with BoB. Strategically speaking, it just means that you have to send that guy to RISE for another pep talk on the topic: "How to defeat evil ISS gankers: a lecture".

So you mean that the big bunch of alts that make up ISS and the alliance as a whole which is lead by another alt puts up an act, to make it like as if they frantically try to sever the ties to BOB so they may be able to keep making money for their mains in the future?
The minute BOB blows ISS completely out of the water I'll believe it, but my guess it that this won't happen.

My best advice: Find a niche and a way to be unique. ISS was always the most interesting when it wasn't just another run-of-the-mill alliance.
Perhaps as mercenary war industrialists? The majority of 0.0 warfare is non-pew pew. POS spamming and POS maintaince to the highest bidder. Or maybe munitions stockpiling. Team up with a PvP merc alliance to be their logistics subcontrator. Or think of better ideas..
Good luck ISS.

Official statement from the ISS CEO.
Recently, some trouble was stirred and **** was piling up around ISS. Many of you probably remember ISS acting as a neutral entity and creating something new in MMO's - looking from COAD perspective it's prehistoric age to most of the current EVE-Online player base. The situation and goals of the alliance today are very different... today we pretty much just want to shoot stuff :-)
In the south ISS have been at war constantly for almost a year starting with hostilities between ISS and IAC. For that reason ISS was slowly but surely pushed towards GBC, and ISS has contributed in many battles since then with GBC.
However, watching the GBC crumble under the onslaught of a better organized foe has been increasingly painful these past months. The last straw was when ISS docking rights to BOB stations was removed without discussion, warning or indeed for us without an ounce of coherent reasoning. Eve is a game of trust, and we find ours shattered as a result of SirMolle's actions.
Therefore, ISS will no longer fight on either side. From today, we turn a page in our history. ISS has reset standings to all entities in Eve, and we will continue to operate a NBSI policy.
If you wish to discuss standings with us, contact Count TaSessine on EU time or Serena Hennessy on US time.
Flame away
Count TaSessine
Apart from your NBSI policy any plans for the future? New territories... space caravans etc?
I hear the drone regions could use a strong, stabilizing force. Sadly, ISS isn't it, but they could add a handful of bacon bits to the tossed salad that's going on up there. Or they could talk to TRI about some beautiful northern space.
And of course, Outer Ring is always nice this time of year.

Originally by: Gloomy Gus Wow, nice job ISS.
Gotta tell ya unlike a lot of goons I always thought that the ISS ideal was good. Too bad you didn't stick to it, it gave "hundreds of bored goons" gates to camp though which was fun I had a great time back then how bout you?
Now we are talking about events happened around 1 year ago I think? First of all, ofc I am a bit biased, I try to be as objective as possible, but hey even I am human 
While we have been "attacked" from IAC, we (ISS) made a contract with MC to solve the situation. It came to a stalemate and around at the same time Goons and TCF joined the fight versus ISS (alone, as we didn't contracted MC again). We received some casual help from LV, they did their best, but they were busy elsewhere. Against IAC we were able to at least hold the ground, but the combined forces of IAC/TCF/Goon were to much, I know some ppl will start trolling now, I personally think there is no shame to loose versus these 3 alliances, especially if we look at the composition ISS was in the PAST. We tried to be neutral, we had alot of carebears, but we were able to field some fleets, obvisiously not enough to face the combined efforts.
After we lost Catch we looked where to go, Providence stations were nice, but not that nice as Tenerifis and Omist. We tried to hold our ground there. The Front was in Tenerifis. Once again we fought against several alliances, mostly KOS and IAC, if needed to get numbers Goons joined as well. We did our best, but yes we were not able to hold ground again. We received some help, but as before LV was under heavy attack and BoB at this point looked like they didn't have decided yet to join the fight there or not.
So in the end we lost our whole "neutral" territory against IAC/TCF/KOS/Goon. We really wanted to keep up the public outposts, but obvisiously they were not wanted from the community anymore. Life is changing, as Eve is as well.
To come back to the quote, we did not wanted to give up our ideals, we were forced to! In my opinion it was a clever move from coalition to remove a neutral identity which is between them and their targets and are open to dock for everyone (regarding strategy and tactics). I tbh got no clue if the "coalition" even existed at that moment, but at least after the LV attack it was obvisiously that a new bloc has been formed. Anyone is really wondering that we had no symphathy with the coalition after these "incidents"?
Regarding the following moves, there are several opinions regarding the "Great War", some say we contributed nothing at all, others say we tried but failed, others say we did an at least decent job. Everybody sees it from a different view, that's normal.
After all ISS itself had to choose sides, we choosed the side which is against the bloc which was able to capture our OPs. We were never really close to BoB, they killed us as everyone else did, (there are theories about BoB-alts, but I got no clue if they are true or not), the one realy important reason was to fight against our hostiles together with Allies who share the same feelings against the coalition. Not more, not less.
We did not leave Esoteria without a tear in the eye, but we realized it is better to move out and keep on fighting, then to get trapped alone in the constellation we owned (as changing sides was never an option).
We all wanted to move to Fountain and keep on fighting. There some misunderstandings happened and BoB set us neutral without warning. No matter what exactly happened (I am not Count and I am not Molle, sry), it was imo not acceptable to remove standings within minutes and not even giving us time to get out our assets from the stations of the pilots we fought side by side.
So now we are standing here, we decided to let the past be the past and to start new. Where will the future lead us? Nobody knows, we will see.
Thx to the pilots I had the honor to fight with and against, I/we had alot of fun.

I've always liked what ISS used to do.
The whole idea of an organization that could go into anothers space and build up outposts and open up new constellations for exploitation was just something that I really respected ISS for doing.
Love em or hate em, KOS has to be thanking ISS in a way for building up those 2 outpost refineries they now control in Tenferis. That's fully half of Tenferis that wasn't able to be exploited till ISS worked out the deal with LV. I've seen the numbers from some old friends that used to be able to use those stations. The minerals that came from those belts into the holding corps apparently was disgusting and enriched ISS a great deal.
I've always wondered if ISS could someday return to the model of building up regions for others. If they have the drive, or even trust in others to do so after all they've been through remains to be seen.
Almost every 0.0 region in the game isn't close to being fully exploited (Delve almost is, and Feyth and Branch come close) but everything else has large swaths of constellations open and waiting to be outposted.
The problem will always be the 'neutrality' that one faction or another would call into question when another faction used ISS stations to launch attacks upon another.
You've got a few chances, strike up an open post, see if anyone contacts you. Not saying anyone will, not saying anyone won't. But for some of us who have been here a long time, we didn't all see ISS's original form as a bad thing.
Yes, the goons can counter with 'ISS was fueling the LV economy that we were fighting, so they were directly helping LV.' That's true, however if LV space had fallen, and ISS maybe extended a 'you'll be neutral to us as well' maybe the whole thing coulda turned over to the RSF's benefit?
I know, some ppl will rabidly say there is no such thing as neutral in this game. And their probably right, however it's just a suggestion that someday. If most of the alliances in the game wanted it, they could have a neutral alliance do operations like the ISS used to.
Some of us liked that idea and smiled when another outpost was opened to the public, for the 85%+ of people that aren't in 0.0 alliances to use and maybe experience.
Besides there are ALOT of junk constellations/regions, that if given the right infrastructure could be turned into good constellations/regions.
There's also 4 to 6 blocs atm, discounting BoB and RSF (as you've said yourself your not going to be part of or aligned to) that still leaves 3 to 4 people that might take in an alliance such as yours with a degree of respect and willingness to 'wipe the slate clean'
I know there's alot of bad blood between ISS and many corps/alliances out there. But for someone that was starting the game when ISS was launching it's first outpost I still wish them the best on their new start.

I'd say it's both BoB and ISS to blame for how bungled the attempt on F4R was, should've made sure the towers were fully stronted, then we would've lost sov 3 before the towers came out of reinforced.

ISS has a more interesting history than pretty much any other alliance in EVE, in terms of redefining gameplay boundaries within an MMO context.
Their PvP skill or lack of it is completely irrelevant in this respect. They've previously done far more interesting things than just shoot stuff well, which is a lot easier to manage than some of the more ambitious concepts ISS realised in its history.

In the early days of ISS they did have a unique vision, one which was certainly worth a shot. It might even have worked - the goal after all was Profit, and from what I'm hearing there was alot of isk made. Unfortunately, it seems to be true that Industrialists cannot hold space when beset by PVP'rs.
I congradulate ISS on abandoning Bob and going their own way. I am dismayed that it takes so much for a Pet to revolt against their Master, however. I personally would have shown Bob the door long ago.

if you think that owning an outpost in 0.0 is the only way to ever be part of the 0.0 theater and make isk then you have a LOT to learn about this game.. esp in this day of eve.
and to whoever it was talking about the tenerifis outposts, yes.. C3- area is carebear/industrial paradise. it's the only outpost/constellation i miss entirely. whoever owns that constellation, provided they know how to farm it, is a really rich entity and an industrial powerhouse.

Yes, ISS has engaged in such other worthy endeavours as getting set blue to alliances so they could buy out the entire market and raise prices 200% at a 0.0 station. After which their stuff sat on market for close to 6 months while we simply produced more. Pure economic geeeeenius! Well we made money anyway.

yes some of our members price gouge (imo). and if you had a spy on our forums you would definitely see the way most of us feel about them. but you fail to understand how a free market works and it's ultimately what keeps me from losing my temper over it anymore.
you can't regulate a free market. it's one of the few things about communism that i sympathize with. the general view of a free market anyhow and how easy it is to manipulate. but once you start regulating it it is not a free market anymore.
but to say all of iss are price gougers is just a plain fallacy. even if you were to use the argument that we all jacked up prices before we left i would have to ask, how would you know unless you bought one of each item for sale on the market? in which case you're really invalidating your own argument. and even then, isn't market manipulation within outpost takeover a fairly common tactic?
but if you're just trying to troll, which seems the way this is going.. then ,|,,

Firstly this is a corp post, not an ISS one.
As we have left the theatre of battle I would like to say that we had some wonderfull fights in our recent adventure down south. As as corp we don't care about the politics of either side, our loyalty is with our alliance and friends. The BoB reset saddened us as we had some very good fun flying with BOB/Styx/Fix and allies from fat/25s, thank you for some good fun gangs. It was a shame this went this way, thanks and good luck to friends we flew with.
Also Thanks and props to IAC and Goons those we fought with in our adventure down south were as a rule decent pilots who brought a good fight.
We look forward to whatever new adventure ISS has ahead and I am sure we will enjoy some good fights to come with pilots who play to enjoy whatever side they are on.

ISS was, imo, never an "ally". They were a tenant. ISS continued to sell cap ships to hostile entities throughout the war and to screw their neighbours on a regular basis. They never hesitated to tell EXE that we were not welcome in their space and yet we were the first people that they screamed for when they needed help.
They were a bunch of arrogant ****s who couldn't fight their way out of a soggy paper bag. The smart people left ISS long ago.
ISS resetting standings makes no difference to anybody. They are a non-entity and will continue to be nobody. Maybe SWA will give them some pew pew appropriate to their abilities.

to be fair, it was hard to get anyone to do anything at that point. no one really had any clue what was going on, and now we see why. we had one huge battle where we took the nyx and that was about it. the only thing we knew was 'keep in f4r as long as possible'.
by the time that op came, very few people were interested in doing much with that system in iss. and the ones that still were there were getting frustrated repping and waiting, repping and waiting. in retrospect, i blame no one for not showing.. although it is irritating when people give up.

All I can say is considering your treatment of other allies, and things they asked for and you didnt come through, is it makes you rather hypocritical.
in all fairness, those ospreys felt really really good.

Wow, the BoB alts are in full effect.
I guess losing a mothership and running control towers in hostile systems to help BoB invade a region doesn't constitute 'participating' in war?
Don't get me wrong I'm not sympathizing with ISS, I just think BoB grunt revisionism is some of the most transparent crap out there. You guys should probably leave revisionism to the pros like SirMolle and The Mittani.

Who could possible read anything you have written and not think it is a spin doctored pile of steaming dog *****???
