Our upper limit for training requirements is 3 districts. One as a sovereign where we can regroup if needed and two that will in no doubt be in perma PC combat for our students to practice in a friendly fire enabled environment. The reason that we need 2 extra to Bojo's one is that we have a few more players that require the training.

It has been mentioned that we should stick to faction warfare contracts and were it not for the lack of friendly fire in them we would in all likelihood be doing just that. If CCP announced that friendly fire was to be enabled in all game modes save for pub matches, we would certainly rethink our strategy.

Some have said that our motives are nothing more than an attempt to gain ISK wealth with no desire to fight for it. Well, that wealth would come from selling excess clones but with a self imposed limit on districts and the fact that we expect very high clone attraction rates from training, we'll be lucky to break even. We're not in this for the ISK.

We have also merely asked for the community to respect our plans and for its support in our endeavour, we haven't demanded it. Any corp is entirely free to do what it wants in this regard.

We are a training corp. Our students may very well be your comrades when they wish to make their own mark. If we train as many as we can to the basics and beyond, then that only benefits us all. And as a training corp, we've no objection to have ads and links from any corp who asks, for our students to read and apply to. Even those that wish to attack us.

If you feel our goals are not laudable or worthy of your support then you must do what you feel you must. And we will defend ourselves to the best of our abilities. It's all training after all. I would urge caution however. Strategically speaking, I'm sure that there are many other corps waiting to see what happens on and just after 6 May. Attacking a University of new players maybe fulfilling a need to make a point or simply be just a laugh. But others may just be waiting to take advantage of the situation. I'd watch your flank while spending resources on attacking us or Bojo.

Its what I'd do if I were in their position.

Stuff

I don't understand why people don't expect we can defend ourselves- we have multiple corps willing to defend it, not to mention eve connections to handle the spacefront.

Cause the Neckbeards will be able to magically help you with continuous orbital bombardment. At least their strikes have no WP requirement.

I'm not just talking about bombardment. I'm sure people won't just magically teleport into a district. Not to mention that they can hold off anyone trying to bombard against us.

Set up a corp battle with I.E. or any top corp and find out why people think you can't defend yourselves lol

Please, as if they would be able to coordinate anything worthwhile anymore.

A corp's ability to field 8 people means nothing when it's a planet we're talking about

but your corp can't even get 8 together for a CB - why would anyone think people who are chicken to play good corps stand a chance against 'em come PC? I can almost promise you you'd be red lined by any top corp. Your down to relying on charity if you go through with this idea of a planet.

That is correct. It's not like we give away money and not expect donations from our students So yeah, would the Salvation Army stand up close to Blackwater? Hell nah, but a bunch of poor people would.

a district only takes 16 to attack or defend. so we could put up 2 8v8 contacts at a time. We have impswarm members that would be happy to train against you

sadly i doubt you would have 16 players that would want to. Thus proving this whole scam by dustbojouni is to fill your person pockets with isk from clones.

the Federation Of Small Corporations will help defend for free.

Speaking of impswarm, I personally don't see any reason they can't be involved in this, but I didn't come up with it either.

Impswarm is 100% mercs and they train, fight, and get paid just like Imperfects and IE.

How is that any different from us?

They actually win battles and train against other tough corps?

While I personally support the idea of a Academy planet, PFBHz holds an official no-involvement stance. As a mercenary corp we will go where people pay us to, so if we get paid to hit an Academy planet, we will. Best of luck in your endeavors.

PFBHz does what PFBHz does, and we don't have an official stance on the subject

You don't play monopoly with no money and ask for boardwalk at the beginning. Some alliance will own this planet but it wont be Dustbojouni

You cant just claim a planet that isnt gonna work
especially a planet that might be ideal for a corp/small grp

Also as others have stated u should wait a while and let the dust settle a bit before looking to do anything AND i know D-UNI has a stance on being neutral but ya that **** wont work with the limited space available

The best chance u have of pullin this off is gettin in bed with one of the bigger groups after land been grabbed and **** has been settled a bit after the mad rush. U have to think about ur main goal which is to train players so u have to think whats best for ur students and if breaking that neutral stance somewhat and making a deal with a bigger group means u can provide the necessary training to ur students then so be it.

Just openly coming out and claiming a planet is wrong and the region is quite possibly too small for u to just be handed a planet free of charge.

PS: That dont mean u go get extorted left and right tho lol <3 Beers & SoTa
