So suffice to say life has been a bit chaotic and filled with diseases and plagues, in other words having small children means they get to bring home all the little germs and bugs from the petri dish… I mean school. Enough of my personal world, lets dig into some corporation news.

At the beginning of the month we started embedding ourselves in our new system. Things are slowly progressing there. Indexes are being built up, still need to get more miners mining, which is hard considering the best ore we have at the moment is Ochre which really out in 0.0 doesn’t inspire to much OMG roid pleasure. I am happy to see that one of the more recent dev blogs has had CCP revist the old DED complexes, you can read that blog here, and they are starting to fill in the gaps between DED levels… Oh wait.. that doesn’t affect us out here in the Drone Regions we don’t get the shiny “Officer Faction” loot like the rest of the Bounty regions in null-sec. But hopefully since they finally, after years and years, have revisted the old DED complexes they may at some point turn their attention to some of the issues with Drone Region space. In fact if they wanted to add a little more aggression out in null-sec all they would need to do is put some bounties on the drones, and actually drop real Drone Faction loot look that is comparable to normal rat bounty faction loot. Watch the Drone Regions all of a sudden become very “wanted” by a lot of different corporations and alliances. I would love to see that personally, but don’t think that is going to happen.

In other news several CTA’s for our new alliance Intrepid Crossing have been ongoing as the Drone Russian Federations (DRF) are pushing they way to reclaiming the Geminate region. Lots of our pilots have been joining these CTA’s even though we are still in our initial break in period with IRC. Several of our cap pilots have been able to participate and in a bit of HAPPY news just this past weekend several of our members were able to… How shall I say this diplomatically… A little bit of payback to the good ole Spire Collective corporation UNSOL. Appears UNSOL alt holding corp wanted to keep some of the space it had in The Spire, oh ya and the main corp joined WI in the NC, ya… I see no problem with that. So I guess Solar finally got sick of that BS and made them kinda pay for the betrayal. So CTA was called, POS’s were popped, Cap arrays were taken, Nyx’s in production were blown up.. Good riddance I say personally. Again this is just me personally speaking not the corp as a whole.

Oh I better end this here as PeeBubble might pod me if I write too much.

So the last week has been a fairly interesting week for the corp overall. We had our share of drama at the beginning of last week and at the end of the week we added about a 1/4 more members from another friendly corporation (Aliaz1)who decided to have some of it’s members merge with us, ok all of them.

So to start off with I won’t go into the long story of the corporate spy from NC that infiltrated the corp, you can read about that here. Instead what was looking to be a big set back for the corporation wound up turning out to be a fairly positive experience. We worked together with some alliance mates in a Located and Destroy mission and even though we failed in that mission the spy was routed out and booted from the corp in short order. The Total ISK damage honestly wasn’t as bad an initially thought, and  like I said in the end it was a great teambuilding exercise and was incredibly fun.

After that event we received some more annoying news that can be read in the forums, and I will discuss that in a future blog. In the meantime with our new recruits and postive attitudes we have been able to do some mining and mission running again within our little solar system in The Spire.

We had a new war decleration brought on by another alliance that honestly hasn’t impacted the corp or alliance very much, more of an annoyance like any war dec. I think we have lost a few ships in some low sec areas, but overall it has not effect any of our operations in any way. I think this again is another reason why I personally am glad we are staying out in the 0.0 regions with a division doing things in empire space.

I would post more, but at the moment other events are taking place that haven’t been fully flushed out, but once they are you know I will post something about them.
