Orien GÇô The Thukker Tribe has issued a report on the effect the presence of cloned mercenary corporations in Molden Heath has had on the region. The report details both the successes and failures in the 3 months since the tribe invited mercenaries to settle in the region in an effort to deter piracy.
The majority of the report focuses on the positives of the move, pointing out a drop in piracy against planetary targets, especially those with large mercenary populations. Additionally, the logistical needs of the influx of mercenaries have brought economic booms to many of the region's planets. Especially during a slow period over the month of June, when fighting had diminished as district control stabilized in the hands of a few corporations, the move was largely a success.
The pacification of the planets also led to a slight decline in space-based piracy. However, the move has not brought an influx of capsuleers to the region as initially expected. Instead, the decline seems mainly related to the loss of planetary infrastructure for the pirate organizations, causing additional difficulties for their operations.
Despite the gains, the report also reveals the realization of several of the worries first presented when the Thukker Tribe made the offer. Particularly, over the last few weeks, intense battles have raged between the alliance known as EoN. and a coalition of corporations and organizations arraigned against them. The fighting has brought destruction to the planets, even though most district fighting occurs distantly from population centers. The collateral damage, particularly from orbital strikes, can be heavy, causing the spread of pollution and damaging ecosystems.
The report concludes that the experiment has been a success overall, with the negatives being outweighed by the positives. It does not make any recommendation for either expanding or contracting the offer in the future, but rather recommends the Republic maintain the status quo to continue examining long term trends. |

Well, I can't tell if this is good or bad. I suppose there can never just be good news....

Of course there aren't more capusieers in Molden Heath. That one big Pirate group, Calamitous Intent owns the place. |

The reason why capsuleers aren't in Molden Heath isn't because of pirates, but because they don't have any reason to. I went and checked the capsuleer IGS, and over there they said that there's no real benefit for capsuleers to be in Molden Heath, clone soldier presence there hasn't affected anything at all. Although honestly, we don't have much reason to be in Molden Heath either, only thing the districts provide us is a huge load of ISK. Things are really stagnant there right now, and people are fighting each other just for fun and not actually wanting to conquer any more districts. |

But it has a lot to do with Pirates, specifically Calamitous Intent. |

I asked my capsuleer friends why they avoid Molden Heath, and they disagree with you:
Andreus Ixiris wrote:Denak Kalamari wrote:I'm curious, why is it exactly that Molden Heath isn't a good place for a capsuleer to set up a base, outside the entire clone soldier thing? No major trade routes, primarily low-sec space, poor market viability, no specific resources, no mission agents of particular interest, and only one significant thoroughfare - the Republic's only link to the Great Wildlands and Thukker space. There's nothing of significance for a market hub to coalesce around (Dodixie and Jita, for instance, both sprung up around high-ranking Naval agents) so commodity supply is low, and it doesn't lie in the path of any major travel routes; the route into Amarr space goes through the much safer Odatrik-Jark jump at the Heimatar-Derelik border. Looking at current maps, the only possible travel use I can think of for Molden Heath would be if an outlaw in The Forge needed a back-door route into Ammatar space, which surely must happen occasionally, but not very often. |

I still wish to point out that I have been hot dropped by them on 3 occasions. |

Seems like they are considering expanding outside just Molden I remember reading about it some weeks ago. Things would get interesting not to mention a economic prosperity due to the new demands if we were allowed to expand, plus smaller corporations being able to expand & advance more among many other things. Though it still be cool if once we were allowed to expand & if you get a district in High Sec. space & if you get attacked Concord sends drones &/or a ship for unique orbitals to the defending side |
