Bojo III

...I just couldn't resist giving SoTa PoP his 2,000th like....

Would be the strangest thing ever if Imps forced the academies to submit to them then ended up paying them instead and offer them training and exercises in there groups, lol.

i wonder if EVE Uni will setup a lowsec camp over this place, could be an interesting twist for everyone talking about it

Good Luck with said plan when we will be confined to one region with several power blocks already formed.

Remember Jaiden, the CEO maybe be willing to "throw isk at the problem" in order to attain that territory.

If that's the case, PFBHz will be more than happy to slap down anyone trying to ruin Dust Uni's sand castle.... for a price.

What gives all of you the right to claim territory that already belongs to Rotaine Shipping Inc? We called dibs on everything before dibs was even a word. I'll prob be out of town on bidnass in may, but I expect you will all do the right thing and leave my planets unoccupied until I return in June. If not, come July there will be serious repercussions for your treachery.

The moral of the story is that eve uni doesn't make competent pilots in any sense. Its hard to expect anything more from Dust Uni.

Bojo and Dust Uni, please send mails in-game to Kane Spero with your email and Skype contacts at your earliest convenience.

I suspect a lot of mercenary corps are the same. I know that the MSF would be interested in defense contracts if Dust Uni has the ISK :)

What exactly is the significance of this particular planet? If IE wants it why not take a different one?

For a small fee of 0.5 million ISK would you be interested in trying your hand at knocking down Imperfect* clones? D-Uni could offer this public service to the larger community. We buy the clones and supply the squad leaders, and anyone with an inclination and a little ISK gets to grief the Imperfects*.

Personally, I had hoped to see Dust Uni work a little more diplomatically on this, because in the absence of another school, I thought it made a lot of sense to try and get some other "adjunct professor" corps on the planet.

Maybe that ship has sailed, but I think it would be helpful to have some of the kaiju corps (who support our shared mission) on planet as another source of skilled fighters.

I mean, sure, we can fight the DU guys in our ways, but it would be nice to have some variety.

To my mind, the thing that is essential is that we achieve a coalition that polices the campus vs. battle district thing, makes sure that the battle districts are constantly changing hands... and holds the colleges accountable for performing their mission.

You're implying that a team of scrubs can kill a well organized team? You're definitely not going to be hiring any good players for that crap amount of ISK.

I'm just saying because although you might be able to corner, zerg, or kill some blue dots as you play against four man squad does not mean that you can do it against a well organized team. There have been a number of corp battles where one side loses at most one or two clones while red lining the opposing eight man team. Even a thale or proto forge cannot do anything against a wall of HAVs with logi support vehicles backing them up.

Depending on prices and everything, I'd say you're not going to get a decent corp to fight the Imperfects for under 400 million ISK for a victory, and 200 million ISK for a loss. That is at current market prices for a 16v16 battle only.

I believe most people do not truly understand the amount of ISK that can be lost in one match. Once you factor in additional things, like clones on top of it, you're looking at extremely expensive battles.

You made some interesting points

We're still going to F*** YOU UP

Or you'll die trying. You know which one I'm predicting, paper tiger.

Not to throw out some crazy logic or anything but,.... why doesn't Imp just plant their D team on Bojo III as the "aggressor" third party campus that can be used as the combat force for both schools?

This way the noobs get training, get to say they were face stomped by Imps, and all parties enjoy the ISK benefits of a school setting. Also, this would be a nearly constant boredom alleviation for the Imps. And they have clearly stated they suffer from extreme boredom induced insanity.

Imps could even play it off as they "extorted" a presence on the planet, and are "pressuring" the schools with a "hostile" presence. Everyone's happy, and the schools can use the added assistance of the conglomerate of Imp if any other corp attempts to rout the planet.


Or am I assuming too much altruism in New Eden?

Eve uni set up a low sec camp in molden heath last year. At the time, molden heath actually had a functional ecosystem for small gang warfare. Uni popped up and tried to blob all the small gang pirates and destroy the good fights.

A corp called the Hatchery, which is from the teamliquid.net community took great offense to them shitting over good pvp and came back to their ancestral home of molden heath to help save the locals.

It led to quite a bit of hijinks which inevitably saw fleets of 30-40 eve uni pilots being camped into being permadocked by massive fleets of 2-4 guys. The killboard went so bad for eve uni that they weren't allowed to undock without permission from an fc and even then the fights were so one sided that they quickly picked up and left in complete embarrassment.

The moral of the story is that eve uni doesn't make competent pilots in any sense. Its hard to expect anything more from Dust Uni.

I try not to post on these forums, but this topic is so appalling I just can't resist.

There's a lot to say about these two corps calling dibs on something that doesn't even exist, about the neutrality claim, about the veiled and open threats from the two schools over something that they already believe belongs to them. But I'm not going to talk about that. I want to talk about their claim to transparency and their choice of planet.

They say Hedaleolfarber III was chosen because it has low strategic//economic value. This is outright ridiculous.

Strategic value - It's location in a little cul-de-sac, away from the main action, makes it the perfect spot to post up away from the main fighting, and stockpile ISK/clones, while being in relative safety from outside attack. Then once enough ISK/clones are stockpiled, its the perfect planet to expand from, simply because your main ISK/clone-making base is protected. If the expansion goes well, great. If it goes badly, you can just retreat back to Hedaleolfarber III and start the stockpiling process all over again. So this planet has probably one of the HIGHEST strategic values for that reason. If you think about it, Hedaleolfarber III is like Australia in the classic version of the Risk board-game.

Economic value - It doesn't matter whether Hedaleolfarber III has a few moons or a million of them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the number of moons has absolutely zero impact on what happens in DUST. And the ownership of districts does not have any impact on how EVE pilots interact with these moons. Those two systems are just not connected in the Uprising build. What is important about Hedaleolfarber III is that because of its isolation, it's less likely to be attacked. Meaning, it's much easier to stockpile ISK/clones there in relative safety. So whoever holds Hedaleolfarber III during Uprising will likely be making money hand over fist. That's at least 3 months! Therefore the economic value of Hedaleolfarber III is actually VERY HIGH.

So now that we have established that Hedaleolfarber III is actually a prime piece of real estate, lets talk about the transparency that these schools are claiming. When they say "We want Hedaleolfarber III because its the worst planet, we're just being transparent," thats not being transparent. That's called trying to deceive/manipulate people to get what you want. The only other possibility is that whoever is making decisions on this honestly believes what they are saying, but is just too stupid to understand that Hedaleolfarber III is actually an amazing base for ANY corporation.

So my question to the two schools is, which one is it? Are you straight up trying to fool everyone? Or do you just not understand the big picture?
