Fellow Manhattanites and interested parties, lend me your ears. A new alliance is about to be born in the game of EVE online. President Drakmor will be leading the way as Clan Shadow Wolf, Manhattan Project, 104th Mobil Combat, and Pilgrims corps provide the foundation.
Our CEO Jerrick will be alliance Vice President and I will be the alliance Head Diplomat. Other leadership posts are shared by leaders from the other founding corporations. Early in the planning stages for the alliance, it was determined we needed a destination. Our goals and purposes are simple:
secure an area of 0.0, perhaps 3-4 systems and develop them;
form regular fleets for dealing with hostile gangs as well as participating in larger-scale fleets with the coalition of alliances in the region;
grow and prosper as an organization, maintaining a high level of respect and integrity in the process;
capital development, including an Outpost and combat entities
As for Manhattan Project corp, our spirit and culture will not change. Only the real estate, and perhaps the shape of the rats, may change. So what can you expect as a member of the corp?
First – our home and place to relax, rat, plex, mine, etc… will be a system in Fade (tba). But we are not limited to that one system as we were in Providence region. To see a map of Fade region, and the possible systems for us to occupy, go to: dotlan maps. The system we have requested is L-SCBU for immediate sov purposes and system upgrades. However, I will know in the next couple of days which system we are being given.
Our capital pilots will have an opportunity to participate in some
joint fleet operations with allies in Pure Blind. Details cannot be
divulged here.
To find out who our friends will be:
go to standings
Mostly Harmless, WI and “guests” will be the ones we most often see.
On March 1, our alliance will appear on the “Guests of NC” as the
third slot of WI. Because we are not paying rent, we cannot simply
“live off the land” without being actively part of NC combat operations.
Regions controlled by the NC: Pure Blind, Fade, Tribute,
Vale of the Silent, Deklein, Branch, and Tenal (with Venal as NPC)
It will be in these regions we are most likely to encounter
friendlies more often than foes. At first our docking privileges
will be guaranteed in Mostly Harmless and Wildly Inappropriate
stations. After that, I only need to get affirmation on the rest.
Enemies: Cry Havoc and Ev0ke are the primary pests.
In short, it will be 0.0 living but with perhaps more activity.
Pure Blind is a lot like low sec Empire. There are NPC stations there
so literally “anyone” can come there to dock. For this reason, the
entrance from high sec Empire (Torrinos) to Pure Blind (EC-P8R) can
be a death trap. But once through there, travelling 4-5 jumps in is
fairly benign.
Venal region again is all NPC. All activities there should be taken
with “low sec” Empire in mind again. All stations there belong to
Guristas. Your standings with that faction would have to be pretty
low not to be able to dock there.
Getting industry and POS equipment to Fade will involve some
coordination and planning. Please do not risk non-combat ships through
Pure Blind region. We will use jump freighter for POS supplies and
carriers for ships.
