Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.05.08 14:07:00 - [1] Greetings Idmei Sver, I note with some concern that operatives from your organisation appear to have entered one of my hangars without authorisation and placed goods there. I consider this to be unacceptable. Given the obvious advantages to placing spying devices in hangars across the cluster, I would like to ask you if any other devices were left behind along with the clearly inferior ship. Furthermore, I found the note left with this pile of junk to be demeaning and insulting. Let me remind of your words: Originally by: Idmei Sver For you, children, on your fifth birthday. May your next five years be as full of promise and hope, and may you one day walk with us as equals among the stars. Firstly, that anyone from your race would dare to address an adult Amarrian as a child is an affront to our superior culture and heritage. Additionally, the idea that I would want to be your equal is laughable. Maybe one day in the future your descendants may become sufficiently enlightened to consider themselves Amarrian, but in the meantime I have to ask why you think I would want to lower myself to your level. Therefore Sver, I would like you to let me know to where I may return this unwanted gift. Should you not reply, I will dispose of your vessel in an appropriate manner - by destroying it. I shall also urge others with concerns similar to mine to do likewise. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Astarte Nosferatu Minmatar Canes Pugnaces	Posted - 2008.05.08 15:26:00 - [3] Well Rodj, they did utterly wiped out a full Amarrian fleet with only a few ships on their side. They are certainly more powerful and advanced than the Empire ever was.

Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.05.08 15:31:00 - [4] Edited by: Rodj Blake on 08/05/2008 15:34:02 Edited by: Rodj Blake on 08/05/2008 15:33:03 Originally by: Astarte Nosferatu Well Rodj, they did utterly wiped out a full Amarrian fleet with only a few ships on their side. They are certainly more powerful and advanced than the Empire ever was. Firstly, there is more to being advanced than having the biggest guns. Secondly, the fact that even though the Amarrian fleet (one of many) fared badly against the Jovian fleet, it inflicted sufficient damage against what is likely to have been the bulk of the Jovian navy for the Jovians to retreat into isolation. Thirdly, the SOCT is no longer a part of the Jovian Empire. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.
Myrhial Arkenath Ghost Festival	Posted - 2008.05.08 15:51:00 - [5] Pilot Rodj Blake, I understand that you are not happy with the gift that each capsuleer received a short while ago so here is my kind offer to take ownership of the unwanted vessel providing I can pick it up in a system I can safely travel to and from my home station. You are free to take up on my offer by evemail should you be interested. PRETA is now recruiting.

Uroborus Naqam	Posted - 2008.05.08 16:47:00 - [7] Perhaps, Rodj, your time would have been better spent reverse engineering the few subsystems we have all been gifted with instead of spitting into the wind. The notion that Mr. Sver would waste any futher effort given your response is idiocy. Stop crying in public and just destroy the ship. --
Astarte Nosferatu Minmatar Canes Pugnaces	Posted - 2008.05.08 17:01:00 - [8] Originally by: Rodj Blake Firstly, there is more to being advanced than having the biggest guns. Thanks to them you are now able to sit in a pod. Originally by: Rodj Blake Secondly, the fact that even though the Amarrian fleet (one of many) fared badly against the Jovian fleet, it inflicted sufficient damage against what is likely to have been the bulk of the Jovian navy for the Jovians to retreat into isolation. If the Empire had so many fleets available at the time, why weren't you able to crush the Minmatar Rebellion? Afterall, they are only savages with sticks and stones, right? Originally by: Rodj Blake Thirdly, the SOCT is no longer a part of the Jovian Empire. So suddenly they aren't of the Jove race anymore?

Allaria Kriss Minmatar Elipse Inc.	Posted - 2008.05.08 17:09:00 - [10] If I remember the story correctly, the Jovians had a supercapital ship on their side. The Amarrian fleet did not even have regular capitals. That makes the battle a bit one-sided don't you think? All well and good, though, considering the indirect outcome of freeing a fair chunk of my people. But I digress... I'll happily take these shuttles off the hands of anyone that has concerns about them. You may contract them to me in the Isikemi or Isaziwa systems. I will also be happy to pay for them, up to one million ISK. Certainly PIE can defend the Empire from terrorists with that money, rather than throw it away to make a point?

The Amarrian fleet did not even have regular capitals. That makes the battle a bit one-sided don't you think? All well and good, though, considering the indirect outcome of freeing a fair chunk of my people. But I digress... When the Khanid Kingdom seperated from the Amarr Empire in 22762 AD, they took one of three Amarrian Titans with them. The Amarr-Jove War only started in 23216 AD, five hundred years later. I imagen the Empire having a decent Capital Ship fleet by then, so your statement about the Amarr Navy not having any Capital Ships at the time of the Battle of Vak'Atioth is incorrect. Added to that, the mere fact that the Jove had a Supercapital on their side when the Amarr only send Cruisers and Battleships for an invasion of all things, clearly shows the superiority of the Jove Empire.

Thanks to them you are now able to sit in a pod. We curse them for their 'gift'. Wherever I come across one of these abominable creations, I will purge it with divine fury. I have never been this insulted before. ----------------------------------------------
Allaria Kriss Minmatar Elipse Inc.	Posted - 2008.05.08 17:45:00 - [13] There's a concept called context that you need to learn Astarte. I was speaking of the battle, not of the Empire as a whole. That said, as military tactics are a hobby of mine, I can parry your second statement as well. Bringing in subcapital ships for an invasion is a fairly common tactic, as anyone in any number of alliances will tell you. Capital ships are often more of a liability than an assistance to any attack force with an intent on moving rapidly (As invasion forces typically do), as capitals are slow, cumbersome, and unable to interface with standard stargate technology, thus increasing logistics a hundredfold; they are also laughably easy to cut off and destroy should a battle turn against the attacker, making a catastrophic defeat like Vak'Atioh far more likely to result in a total military collapse; there are several alliances out there that can vouch for this, having folded soon after losing their Titan-class flagships or capital fleets in catastrophic battles. By wisely holding back their capital assets, the Amarr considered the fact they might lose, and prevented their holdings from completely disintegrating when their fleet was obliterated. The defeat was still a disaster for the Amarr, but it was not a total disaster. The simplified version of the above: 'Wise generals do not launch all-out offensives if they have anything they need to defend.' That said I'm not going to bother arguing the Battle itself with you. You'll believe what you want to believe, something religious folks tend to be very good at. My offer to purchase the offending shuttles still stands, however.

The defeat was still a disaster for the Amarr, but it was not a total disaster. That's where you are wrong. Amarrian arrogance and pride prevents them from ever considering the possibility of defeat, up till Vak'Atioth they had mainly been victorious all the time. Besides, if you are planning to invade an enemy, knowing it has Supercapital ships, would you bring a) a Cruiser/Battleship fleet you know doesn't stand a chance or b) bring your own Supercapitals to at least get better odds?

I have never been this insulted before. Well somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Why is it that Amarrans are the only ones who have found something to cry about after being given this gift? I'd hate to see you on your birthday, purging lovingly wrapped presents from your sight with "divine fury". Okay, so it may not be the best gift, but what did you expect? A bloody Titan? If you're so insulted, why destroy it? Why not give it to your corporation's engineers to tinker with? Maybe they'll find some interesting things to reverse engineer. Or you could give it to someone who actually wants it. I don't think the SoCT will call you out for re-gifting. But no, you'd rather huff and puff and toss the thing in the trash.

That's right Rodj, you Amarrian guys just keep telling yourselves that.. nods reassuringly It's not just technology that's important but also many other things such as culture, heritage, the arts, spirituality, and wisdom. Of course, I don't expect a tumble drier to understand these things. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

Well, if you read my comment, you would have noticed that I was talking to Captain Kador, not you, but I think you're being silly as well. Of course, that silliness comes from being a shameless bigot, so I guess you're not going to listen to a Gallentean heathen when he tells you you're being childish.
Fox Vulcan Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.05.08 18:19:00 - [21] From the sources I found, the Ammar Navy got its backside handed to it on a plate. A supercapital? Id like to see one someday... In war, theres only one person who takes the victory. And, undoutably, they have the better tactics, the faster ships, and, yes, the bigger guns. From a schorlarly point of view, things may differ, but I would take a victory over a moral triumph on the field anyday. **************************** "For Honour and Glory."
Chani Miranor Amarr PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris	Posted - 2008.05.08 18:29:00 - [22] Add my "gift" to the return / destruction queue as well admiral. This was an unwanted intrusion on my private hangars.

This was an unwanted intrusion on my private hangars. It's not as if operatives of the Society of Conscious Thought gassed your staff, slipped into your hangars, planted the shuttle, then snuck out without a sound. It seems to me that it was delivered just like any other item I order or am given. The word "intrusion" is a little strong.
Istvaan Shogaatsu Caldari Guiding Hand Social Club	Posted - 2008.05.08 18:56:00 - [24] Originally by: Rodj Blake Greetings Idmei Sver, I note with some concern that operatives from your organisation appear to have entered one of my hangars without authorisation and placed goods there. I consider this to be unacceptable. If you'd like, operatives from my organization could help clean up all that awful hangar clutter.
3ll3 Gallente Tranquillity Nation	Posted - 2008.05.08 19:28:00 - [25] You know Mr Blake, it makes me wonder if you have some thing to hide? Any secret Skeletons in your Cupboard you want to tell us about my good Sir?
Aria Jenneth Caldari Ghost Festival	Posted - 2008.05.08 19:45:00 - [26] Hmp. All discussion of Jovian superiority or lack thereof aside, this still fits under the heading, "Base Ingratitude Defined." PRETA is now recruiting!

Fox Vulcan Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2008.05.08 21:02:00 - [28] Captain Jenneth, I wholeheartedly agree. **************************** "For Honour and Glory."
The Cosmopolite Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2008.05.08 21:43:00 - [29] While I doubt very much that Idmei Sver will be troubled by the carping of Blake, Kador and others of their ilk, I will say that the pilots of the Star Fraction, along with many others we have spoken to, are delighted with this gift, and in no way disturbed by the manner of its delivery or the inferences that may be drawn from it. The pilots of the Star Fraction recognise that the road is long and will have many a twist and turn but eventually we hope to not only stand with those who gave us this gift but eventually surpass their present state of development. If they are still with us and advancing at the time, so much the better. If they are unable to advance, for whatever reason, we shall treat them and their memory with the due respect. Capsuleers, no matter their professed loyalities, benefit from the freely released gift of capsule technology and the activities of the SoCT, which despite the remarks of Blake is pretty clearly an organisation retaining the most intimate links with the Jove Empire. All capsuleers who wish to maximise their potential use SoCT learning techniques and advanced skillbook technology. If one is concerned about the placement of a ship in a physical space, then one should be doubly paranoid about the insertion of unknown memes in the mind space by means of technology freely-used but not entirely understood. The Star Fraction realise that the physical realm and the realm of the mind are both potentially vulnerable to intrusion, disturbance and surveillance. The answer to these threats is vigilance and free fellowship û not paranoia and isolation. The Cosmopolite The Star Fraction Communications Portal
Shiaari Amarr Re-Awakened Technologies Inc Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.05.08 21:56:00 - [30] Originally by: Astarte Nosferatu Well Rodj, they did utterly wiped out a full Amarrian fleet with only a few ships on their side. They are certainly more powerful and advanced than the Empire ever was. For the sake of truth, I should correct this hyperbole. What the Jovian Directorate encountered at Vak'Atioth was actually a rather small detachment of the Imperial Navy, such were the circumstances behind the engagement. For those who disbelieve the battle occurred, it is a well recorded event, one that gave birth to the Republic and shook our culture into being more diplomatic. I believe Vak'Atioth to have been beneficial to everyone, truthfully: It spared the Federation and Empire an impending war, freed billions of oppressed and abused slaves, and brought the Empire to terms with the rest of the galaxy which opened its vast population as a collective market place for the rest of New Eden. The Jovians, love them, fear them, or hate them, never-the-less display staggering foresight. Though, I do share Blake's unsettling opinion of someone being able to track where my clones are, and then having open access to my hangar. I appreciate the shuttle, SOCT, truly... but in the future you could be less... arbitrary about it.
