EVE Update

Atlas, Sc0rched Earth, and the Curse coalition have pretty much broken the once mighty Red Alliance, capturing their home system of C-J6MT, and locking down untold billions worth of assets in the process. Admitidly, our efforts were assisted greatly by a failed internal coup, but given the progress we had been making in Insmother, that only accelerated the inevitable. With KenZoku finnaly out of the picture, Goonswarm and Pandemic Legion (mostly PL) are now starting to bring us the fights that our pilots have been hungry for. So hungry, in fact, that they took a sniper BS gang that was lacking in support out to fight a PL sniper HAC gang. Oops.

It will be interesting to see see what happens to the political landscape now. Already, the drone regions have gone through a bit of a shakeup, with XIX resetting Intrepid Crossing and Etherial Dawn. And while nobody ever believed the NC/Goon/PL NAP-fest when they said they would reset each other after BoB/KenZoku were dead, stranger things have happened. The only thing that makes me nervous is seeing how Atlas will fare on the defensive. We have proven to be quite the powerhouse on the offensive, to the point that we literally scared away most of the fights we could have gotten in Detorid and Insmother. But we are fairly untested in defending space, and most of our recent acquisitions are not yet fortified.

On the carebear front, my Caldari missioning alt is finally through with level 1 missions, and is now owning the hell out of level 2s in a pimped-out Caracal that I haven't even insured because 3/4ths of the value is in the modules. I must say, I really enjoy the change of pace that pounding through a few missions can provide. It is also pretty crazy what a huge difference all the tech II modules make; missions that broke the tank on my poor little Maller can't even drop the passive shield tank on my Caracal below 40%. I can't wait to see what a Drake will be able to do.
