I thought we should have a thread where we basically describe what we have been doing in game recently. No need to spill any big secrets but just a general description of how things are for you and what you find yourself doing these days.
Having spent the best part of a year and a half running Kaminjosvig I decided that empire mercing was becoming very boring. We had built a decent reputation and as soon as we decced people they either ran away 34 jumps and docked for the night (G.I.S) or simply never undocked. If we decced two or more entities they would quickly gang up. In fact we had one Merc alliance running around deccing us and then ganging up with any of our marks to make sure they had well over 20-30 more than us in their gangs.
I can honestly say factional warfare was the highlight of my time in Kaminjosvig. That and a few very successful large contracts.
In the end though empire mercing became pointless and repetitive. So we decided to join Celestial Apocalypse in the hope of some 0.0 action. Merging into a new corporation is always a risky venture. I knew we would lose a lot of people who were not really playing anyway but in the main we did ok. Activity from our guys increased but sadly Celestial was not the corp we thought they were. Activity was generally the same as what we had when in Kaminjosvig and some nights there was only us ex Kaminjosvig people online which was gutting.
We went to fight with Sons of Tangra and Pandemic Legion in Resurgency. This was semi high profile in game. I have to say I never thought things could get worse than empire mercing. When we were double dd'ed almost 3-4 times in one week it grew old very fast. SoT and PL eventually bubbled the station we were in for something like a week to get us to leave. They were posting how it was good fun fighting us and shit like that but in the end they wanted us out of there and the lame play continued to get worse. Resurgency eventually folded with Celestial leaving the alliance. This was because the alliance would not stand and fight and obviously the shitty attitude of PL did have a negative impact.
So I have spent a few months taking stock of the game. Not knowing what to do really - the Tech II business I had built up had taken a big hit because of the POS fiasco. I stopped my subs to Nats account in quiet protest and in the end I just could not be bothered to log in. But I love the game - it just has so much more depth compared to WAR and other games out there.
So recently I decided to train my alt up to run covert ops and started exploration.
That is where the fun started again....
