Ragnar:
My comment was pointed at the boast that group of people as small as a "couple" has enough wealth to purchase a battleship blueprint by using only a "portion" of their wealth.
The poster insinuates that members of your corporation are so wealthy that an item of such magnitude was a mere portion of the total purse of just a few members and that said purchase could have been made much sooner if the timing had been right. Please.
Kudos to taggart for being the first corporation to pat themselves on the back...again. In fact this entire thread is not much more than another taggart "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME" advertisment.
Congratulations on your blueprint, bravo. But it is in poor form to impersonate something you are not.

Im sorry Byterider, was I talking to you?
I thought I was addressing Ragnar... sorry for the confusion as I had assumed that you would have known when you where being addressed.
Oh and if I need your suggestions I will be sure to fire off a memo and outline for you what those suggestions should be.

"Why build a Battleship 1 week after release if there is no chance any pilot in the universe is able to fly it, yet alone use it effectively...
We felt the time was ripe to make one so a couple members in NSD decided to spend part of their wealth to aquire said battleship."
----------------------
Anden you fail to see my point, because you need to remove the mote that is taggart rhetoric from your eye.
"amazing accomplishment"
"you worked you bunnies off"
"you guys have a billion dollar bp?"
These are the kudos that the EVE community has bestowed upon taggart for an accomplishment that requires great effort and organization, especialy given the timeline invloved. many corporations may not even seek to purchase such an enourmously expensive comodity due to the financial drain on corporate assets.
Yet your guild's contention is that just a "couple" of your members basicaly scraped together some loose change from the sofa to purchase a Scorpion blueprint and could have done so long ago if the "timing" had been right.
In case any of this was over your head or you still don't see my point. Let me break it down to simpler terms for you...
I think you are liars.
Everything that taggert does is designed to give the appearance that you are elitist, special, more enlightend and somehow better than everyone else. I find your condecending attitude distasteful and I believe you would do and say what ever it took to maintain this facade.
I think you know damn well that taggart has spent a significant portion of their holdings to afford this blueprint at this stage of the game and I am insulted by references otherwise.
It is my opinion that you are like a man who spends all of his earnings on an extavagant mansion in the Hamptons and yet has to sleep on a Futon in order to maintain the outward appearance that he is more affluent than he really is and then brags about how cheap his "summer cottage" was.

"Think about it, we have the largest corp in Eve. Our shipbuilders have sold ships to many a player and the orders are still rolling in. Our traders know how to squeeze every ISK available out of their routes. Our miners can strip an entire field bare in a very short amount of time. I wish you could see the amount of taxes that alone generates. It's really quite impressive."
--------------------------
Even when you are being insulted you cannot seem to bring yourselves to stop bragging about how wonderful and impressive you are. Please...stop.... it's nauseating really.
We are not discussing the ability of taggert as a whole, in all it's brilliant glory to be able to purchase a Scorpion Blueprint but rather the veracity of statements regarding the ability of an extreeme minority of your playerbase to be able to do so out of personal funds without serious expenditure of assets.
Anden: If you like single scentences, I will also use only mono-syllabic words for your reading pleasure. (that means single syllables)
