\n\n

Black Shark Cult is the lowsec campus of Black Shark Institute We are a small focused community that approaches Eve Online not to escape a mundane Real Life, but rather to embrace and explore the great potential of humanity in the most complex, economic / political / military simulation ever made.

\n\n

4 influential members of Eve University started the institute just over 2 years ago. Since we have been developing and refining a training curriculum that turns Eve's notorious learning cliff into a smooth slope that allows new pilots to consistently progress and gain mastery over Eve's complex systems.

\n\n

Our student numbers have several times grown to over 100, and our training campaigns have had a significant impact on the history and politics of lowsec faction warfare.

Black Shark Cult has taken a break from training operations for a number of months in order to roll out our new training program. We are now opening the doors to our new program and a new class of recruits.

\n\n

Spaceship KungFu

\n\n

Many people approach Eve with the worldview of a materialist.

\n\n

They earn isk to buy bigger ships to earn more isk.

\n\n

Others approach Eve like a sport.

\n\n

They aim to win the battle.

\n\n

Black Sharks approach Eve as a Martial Art.

\n\n

Our destination is the journey. We quest to constantly increase our knowledge and refine our practice. Through this, we are able to increasingly gain influence over ourselves and the galaxy around us.

\n\n

Our training program is broken down into clear steps. It is up to each student to pursue their own growth and development.

\n\n

Students progress from white belt to black belt, in the respective martial arts.

\n\n

Ninja - Solo and Small Gang.

\n\n

Our first black belt course is in solo and small gang combat.

Battle Report

\n\n

Mortarian was baiting NC. cruisers for Megoste, Instynx and I; we had a few unsuccessful tries and then we saw a deimos on scan. The deimos went after Mortarian and he hero tackled it and proceeded to hold him until the cavalry arrived. While we were working on the deimos his buddy landed in a proteus, so we scammed him and switched to him once the deimos was down. The deimos pilot reshipped and came back to snipe at us with a kitey brutix navy, but we forced him off.

\n\n

When the proteus was about to go down SKT, our friendly neighborhood gankers, arrived with a megathron and a few throwaway griffins. We went to work on the mega and killed off the griffins with drones, and then a stratios and garmur landed. I held scram on the mega while the other guys caught the stratios, which we neuted out with a curse and then took down. Then Instynx somehow got a scram on the garmur, so we took him down too. Then we killed off one more desperate SKT griffin and chewed through the megathron.

\n\n

Everything went well for us here, but it could easily have been a mess. It's a great object lesson in picking the right targets (i.e., not a deimos) and not yoloing stuff into a fight one by one, the fight could have gone really different if they'd done things differently. Megoste did some pretty sweet piloting to get his curse out in low structure too, which kept our losses down. Special shout out to Mortarian for bravely sacrificing his t1 cruisers to get the fight started. GF

Cain and I started the morning with a very close fight with a Phantasm. The poor guy didn't get his pod off in time and I managed to put a scram on it.

\n\n

He was shield boosting a ton and flying a very expensive ship, so he most likely had an expensive set of implants.

\n\n

Now, I could have done a couple of things.

\n\n

Kill the pod and get a nice kill mail or try to ransom and get a nice paycheck.

\n\n

It was quiet in the system, so we decided to go for a ransom.

Hi everyone, I'm Sain Endashi. Ex-miner, Ex-nullsec alliance pilot, and have played EVE on and off for 4 years. I hereby found the first, currently unofficial, Sharkie fighter wing - currently dubbed Sharkie Wing Alpha. This is partially to create a regular group with which I can learn how to pvp and FC with together while participating in the newbro FC competition this month, but also as a more long-term goal which I will explain below. I'm based out of EST but have a decent range of availability for fleets.

\n\n

The goal of this fighter wing, and hopefully the ones to follow, are to develop a sense of comradery among cult members, and to further work on our current combat abilities. It is also a way for pilots to attain a certain level of space-glory. if a fighter Wing becomes good enough, they'll naturally develop a reputation. In addition, wings will participate in friendly competition with one another, which will also foster growth and improvement. Lastly, fighter wings could eventually specialize in certain types of tactics and doctrines, increasing the strategic options of the Black Shark Cult. This idea is still in its formative stages, and if you have any constructive criticism or questions, feel free to comment!

\n\n

If this sounds good to you, and you're willing to fight, learn, and die under me, contact me in game or reply to this thread. I plan on flying almost entirely cheap frigates at first, and then slowly working our way up to more expensive doctrines.

\n\n

Q & A:

\n\n

Q: Are there any requirement to join Sharkie Wing Alpha? Is it just for alpha pilots?

\n\n

A: The only requirement is that you're willing to get blown up as we experience the learning process. Also you have to participate. The "Alpha" is because as far as I know, this is the first attempt in this group to organize in such a manner.

\n\n

Q: Do you think there are enough pilots to make this is a worthwhile endeavor for Black Shark Cult?

\n\n

A: Maybe. But I am ambitious. If we lack in numbers, let us lack in numbers. That is a problem that can be solved. But let us not flee from opportunity just because it hides behind words like "difficult" and "problematic".

\n\n

Q: I think Sharkie Wing Alpha is a boring name.

\n\n

A:That's not a question, but I'm glad you brought it up! It is my hope that wings will earn cooler, more meaningful nicknames after surviving engagements together.

\n\n

Q: I want to FC! If I join your wing, will I not get that opportunity?

\n\n

A: Not right away. But that's because right now, I need that opportunity to learn how to FC myself. There's nothing to say I will be the only FC for Sharkie Wing Alpha in the futre. In addition, all engagements will involve me electing a Sergeant who will be my second in command. When I go down, they will take over FC'ing. If they go down, someone else will take over, until we disengage or die gloriously.

\n\n

Q: Will wing engagements have their own SRP?

\n\n

A: This will be up to the wing commander. For Alpha Wing right now, no, as I have spent all my isk on frigates in an effort to have a small stockpile of them to burn through during the learning process. I may provide some of those frigates on occasion to wing members in need.

My name is robot computer, and I'm writing this post to talk about the kiting Tristan. I believe I am qualified to write about this topic as I've played EVE for years, focused primarily on solo and small gang, and have >420 kills with a Tristan that has been primarily fit to kite.\n\n**General Information**\n\nThe idea behind flying a kiting Tristan is MWD around outside your opponents 13km overheated web range, while staying within your 28.8km overheated point range. Module heat damage is a limited resource, so you will mostly want to be inside of 24km, although there are times you may be using the outer parts of your 50km lock and drone range to stay on a grid and apply damage. Skilled manual piloting is often optimal, but it's important to understand how the orbit and keep at range commands work as well. I set my orbit and keep at range distances to 18.5km by default in kiting frigs, as it's halfway between an OH web and cold point range, and you can still select keep at range 20km, or orbit 30km from the right click menu as desired.\n\n**Drone Selection**\n\nFor our purposes, Acolytes or Warriors are generally the only drones that will be successful. You may want to select Hobgoblins if you are looking to offensive plex, as they provide the best DPS, but opponents will be able to destroy or outrun them, and you will find yourself leaving them behind as you flee often as they can't catch up.\n\nBetween Acolytes and Warriors, I prefer Acolytes because they have more tank and gank, almost as much speed, and EM damage. In longer fights, or those against skilled opponents, the extra tank helps out greatly when micromanaging your drones. I'm less experienced with Warriors, but have run them some lately, and the extra speed is nice to have, as well as explosive damage being preferable against the many armor tanked opponents you will find around lowsec.\n\n**The Fits**\n\n [Tristan, Cheap Alpha Clone Kite]\n \n AE-K Compact Drone Damage Amplifier\n AE-K Compact Drone Damage Amplifier\n Type-D Restrained Nanofiber Structure\n \n J5 Enduring Warp Disruptor\n 5MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive\n Medium Shield Extender I\n \n [Empty High slot]\n [Empty High slot]\n [Empty High slot]\n \n Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I\n Small Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I\n Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I\n \n \n Hobgoblin I x5\n Hobgoblin I x3\n\nThe most basic of the kiting Tristan fits. For less than a million ISK you get 100 DPS that will chew up a novice rat. Suggested orbit and keep at range distance is 16.5km as your med slots are configured for cap life. If you're going on a kiting frig gang, swap out the Hobs for Acolytes/Warriors. Possible variations include swapping an EM rig for Kinetic, fitting an Overdrive in place of the Nano, or maybe a scoped point or restrained MWD if can stay above the magic 2 minutes of capacitor. Don't fly it without Drones V.\n\n [Tristan, MWD MSE Kite]\n \n Drone Damage Amplifier II\n Drone Damage Amplifier II\n Nanofiber Internal Structure II\n \n Warp Disruptor II\n 5MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive\n Medium Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender\n \n [Empty High slot]\n Auto Targeting System I\n [Empty High slot]\n \n Small Core Defense Field Extender I\n Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I\n Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I\n \n \n Acolyte II x5\n Acolyte II x3\n\nHere's the adult version of the fit. The auto targeter is left inactive and only online so you get 6 locks, enough to lock an opponent and their drones. If you fit a 1% CPU implant (dirt cheap) and drop the auto targeter, a T2 MSE is a good upgrade. A 2% CPU implant gets you both the T2 MSE and auto targeter. Possible variations include various combinations of tank or speed rigs, a damage control, and fitting a couple autocannons, but I'd never do anything different, other than the T2 MSE.\n\n**Fight Initiation**\n\nNow that you have your Tristan fit and default ranges configured, let's talk a little about starting fights. Often in lowsec, you'll dscan something at a FW complex, warp to it at 10, and take the gate. Against any single target waiting on the beacon, it's great to tell your ship to keep at range, activate your overheated microwarpdrive, begin locking, launch drones, and activate your point. Once you get out of hard tackle range, tell your ship to orbit your opponent to pick up some transversal, and be glad potentially the most dangerous part of your encounter is over. When locking finishes, get your drones attacking as soon as possible.\n\nOther times you might be running a plex, and an opponent lands outside. Hopefully you've had time to setup inside at 18.5-35km, so when they land, you aren't immediately scrammed. Good MWD brawler opponents will heat their MWD on the first cycle in an attempt to catch you, so you may want to heat your first cycle too. If you're too far away from the beacon, a good AB brawler will warp out after they land if they see you setup at kite range, so be aware of the balance between catching them and kiting MWDers. \n\n**Drone Micromanagement**\n\nDuring almost every fight, you'll want to be keeping an eye on your drones panel. Skilled opponents will not take too kindly too kindly to being kited, and will correctly shoot your drones to take your damage off the grid. It's your job to prevent this from happening. As soon as you notice your first drone taking damage, recall it to your drone bay. I prefer drag and drop for this as it's quick.\n\nMany opponents lack perfect management skills and will continue shooting your drone once it's out of range, or let their drones keep chasing it, and once your drone is back in, be slow to switch targets. As soon as your damaged drone is back in your bay, launch a fresh one if you have it, or the least damaged one you have available, and give it an order the next tick. Skilled opponents will lock your entire drone flight and switch targets quickly. To defeat these opponents, we must bring in our entire drone flight to break their locks, then immediately deploy the robots again, and set them to attack. It can be very strong to deploy drones, send them in for a volley of damage, then bring them back in to make sure they don't take damage. Your opponent will suffer only minimal damage, but their mechanics will fatigue from locking all your drones, and their morale will decrease rapidly.\n\nI've found that drone micro battles are often won by the player with the strongest will, as many will quit and let their drones or ship die before they were actually beaten. Fighting a drone battle against a tough opponent is one of the true joys in EVE and a facet of the game that some players might never even notice.\n\n**Kiting**\n\nThe true strength of kiting fits lies in remaining uncommitted to the fight. Maybe your opponent has you in low shield, so you pull out to 30km or beyond, where you're free to warp out, but your drones are still applying damage. Maybe you start a fight at long range against an overconfident opponent who wins on paper, deal some damage, then dive in to point range later to secure the kill. Fighting outnumbered is less of a problem when you can MWD away from the enemy gang to leave when they bring more pilots, or maybe you pull tacklers off a gang and kill them before their damage dealers are able to support them.\n\nWhen in doubt, burn away. The turret ship shooting you might lose enough damage to falloff that your shield recharges, and you can come back in later for tackle. Maybe it's an emergency and you have to warp off with drones out, but at least you're not in a pod. Occasionally opponents will die untackled as they were burning for tackle or to apply damage for so long they didn't leave themselves with enough time to align out.\n\nMost of the time a fight goes beyond the 2 minute mark many frigates have the capacitor for, you're fighting a target that is slow. You don't want to drop point, letting your prey leave, so keep up the orbit, but pulse your microwarpdrive as needed. Maybe they are running and you flip it on when they reach 22km, or maybe they are chasing and you flip it on when they hit 15km. Other times the margin won't be nearly this close and you can just pulse it at a regular rate, or leave it off when they pull in their drones or are reloading.\n\n**Opponent Specific**\n\nIdeal opponents for a kiting Tristan are those which are slow enough for your drones to stick with them, applying damage, while you stay at range, but other kills are possible. Slicers can be killed if you can get them capped out by making them burn to you to start the fight, orbiting at 30km and letting your drones apply damage for a bit, then diving in for tackle when their tank and cap are low. They are a tough target as they are almost always faster than the Tristan and its drones, so you need to make them waste heat and/or cap.\n\nAgainst an Algos or Dragoon, plan to fight their drones immediately. Even Hobgoblins will be a problem due to their Destroyer hull bonuses to drone speed. It's good to burn away early on vs these ships to preserve your tank and increase the distance advantage their drones would have to travel back to bay. Once their drones turn around early in a fight, you can turn around and point the ship when their drones get back and continue the fight. Most opponents in an above class ship won't abandon a flight of drones to get out until they are on their last drones and morale is breaking.\n\nSome turret ships, like a Thrasher or Cormorant can absolutely erase your drones if they bring their A game. I don't really like to lose more than 3 drones testing their skill, then I'll bring them back in and ping for help if possible, saving a full flight to apply damage when your backup arrives. If you don't have help coming, it's okay to let them go.\n\nVexors and Arbitrators are beatable, especially if they leave out drones chasing the Tristan that are too slow. Kill ECM drones right away, as getting jammed sucks, and micro your heart out versus their multiple drone flights. These are the fights that Acolytes are best for, as the added EHP can keep you in the fight and able to micro for much longer.\n\n**Implants**\n\nThere's so much left to say, but I've already written a giant wall of text, so lets end by talking about some potential implants a kiting Tristan may want to use.\n\nCPU Management EE-601 -- Pays for itself in 2x Tristan fits as T2 MSEs are cheaper than restrained, in addition to providing better tank even after accounting for the signature radius increase.\n\nEvasive Maneuvering EM-701 -- I highly value agility and implant to turn quicker as it becomes easier to hold and avoid tackles.\n\nCapacitor Management EM-801 -- If you aren't fitting a Zor's here, you might as well get yourself some extra cap to stay in fights longer.\n\nHigh Speed Maneuvering HS-901 -- Another dirt cheap capacitor implant.\n\nAll these implants are very inexpensive compared to their benefits, and will be effective on multiple ships and fits.

Ideal opponents for a kiting Tristan are those which are slow enough for your drones to stick with them, applying damage, while you stay at range, but other kills are possible.

Vexors and Arbitrators are beatable, especially if they leave out drones chasing the Tristan that are too slow. Kill ECM drones right away, as getting jammed sucks, and micro your heart out versus their multiple drone flights. These are the fights that Acolytes are best for, as the added EHP can keep you in the fight and able to micro for much longer.

\n\n

Implants

\n\n

There's so much left to say, but I've already written a giant wall of text, so lets end by talking about some potential implants a kiting Tristan may want to use.

\n\n

CPU Management EE-601 -- Pays for itself in 2x Tristan fits as T2 MSEs are cheaper than restrained, in addition to providing better tank even after accounting for the signature radius increase.

\n\n

Evasive Maneuvering EM-701 -- I highly value agility and implant to turn quicker as it becomes easier to hold and avoid tackles.

\n\n

Capacitor Management EM-801 -- If you aren't fitting a Zor's here, you might as well get yourself some extra cap to stay in fights longer.

\n\n

High Speed Maneuvering HS-901 -- Another dirt cheap capacitor implant.

\n\n

All these implants are very inexpensive compared to their benefits, and will be effective on multiple ships and fits. Plug stuff into your clone today.

\n\n

Conclusion

\n\n

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading! The kiting Tristan is a great ship that I have a lot of fun flying, fits into many gangs for a bit of damage and tackle, is inexpensive, works solo, and I hope this guide is able to help you get out there and enjoy it too. Any feedback is much appreciated, and I'll be around to answer questions in this thread or on the JAWS discord server. Good hunting!

Under the Toxic Reign of Roy (Henry) Joffrey, the Toxic King of an out of control Gallente Militia, Placid slowly suffocated. The Toxic King brutally abused newbies from Eve University and other new player groups. He suffocated fledgeling fleet commanders and attempted to strangle all young life from the region. His lies, betrayals and brutality towards new players did not go unnoticed. Eve the Life Death Life Mother saw these atrocities. She saw Roy (Henry) Joffrey and his house Black Fox perpetrating atrocities upon new players. Killing their hope, betraying the terms of arranged fights and, denying them any opportunity to experience the Joy of the Hunt. Roy Heney and his toxic empire went on to purge the warzone of all life. Driving away corporation after corporation, they collapsed the fragile eco system in the regions of Placid and Black Rise. \n\nEve The Life Death Life Mother loves the sight of Death. But the cycle must continue. Life begets Death begets Life. This is the fundamental essence of Eve herself, and the foundational rule of all New Eden. \n\nRoy (Henry) Joffrey has committed the fundamental sin. He has blasphemed Eve herself. He has despised her in his heart and intends to kill her.\n\nEve the Mother, she who is Holy, saw all this, and she chose an unlikely servant upon whom she bestowed the quest to right this terrible wrong. \n\nEve looked down upon New Eden and saw a young capusleer who was enlisted and fighting in the Gallente Milita. This young capusleer worshipped Eve with a pure heart. He joined the Gallente Milita because they loudly self-promoted themselves as the defenders of freedom in the galaxy. However as the months passed, and he fought against the supposedly demonic caldari, he became increasingly unsettled. He saw the Toxic King's Fleets pass by and massacre newbies, he heard the newbies cries of despair at their inability to find solo or small gang fights, their inability to challenge the established powers, and then their sense of betrayal as the Gallente King would not even honour the terms of arranged training fights. \n\nThen as this young Gallente Milita pilot fought his enemy, the Caldari, he began to respect them. Here were soldiers who fought when they were vastly out-numbered, out-gunned and out-financed. They lived the Iron life, in which everything they owned they had earned in the fires of battle. Perhaps the carefully polished broadcasts of the so-called Gallente Democracy were not quite reflecting reality. \n\nThere was no democracy, just a Toxic King who cared not for freedom but instead took every chance to stoke his undernourished ego by abusing the weak. \n\nIt was at this moment that Eve the Mother spoke to this young Gallente militia pilot. \"Ezekiel Winter\" she said. You have seen the sins and atrocities committed before your eyes. Your heart burns inside you with rage. Because you are pure in heart, I have chosen to send you forth as my servant. You shall be my sword and retribution. \n\nYou will face a long and winding journey. Along this journey, you will meet many companions. You shall preach my word where ever you go, and you shall bring hope to the newbie and my sword of punishment to those who sin against me. \n\nYou will follow the ways of Lord Jaws the Hunter, and he shall train you and prepare you, and after a long a difficult journey you will restore balance to New Eden. You shall go forth and create a new civilisation in my name. A civilisation founded upon the precepts of the Life Death Life Cycle. \n\n\n##Recent History. \n\nEzekiel Winter founded Black Shark Cult. The cult was a ragtag band of bandits, and malcontents. After a long and winding journey, through fighting a black ops insurgency against the Imperium in World War Bee, and then a trip through the collapsing Amarr Militia the Cult found themselves enlisting with their former enemies the Caldari Militia. \n\nBased out of Hykanima under the patronage of the pirate alliance, The Bastard Cartel, Black Shark Cult began to train in fleet operations and participated in the first major low sec war involving the new Citadels. The Bastard Cartel fought against the might of NC. who invaded from null sec to get the first Fortizar kill in the history of K space. For the second TBC fortizar, Black Shark Cult participated in two successful Citadel defences against NC. NC. embarrassed by twice being driven back by Lowsec TBC and friends, called upon the entirety of Pandemic Family for a second Fortizar kill. \n\nThe Bastard Cartel moved to Southern Null Sec some time after this. \n\nMeanwhile, the fledgeling band of bandits in Black Shark Cult, led an insurgency in the area around Hykanima. This bitter fighting by a handful of Black Shark insurgents against a horde of farmers soon brought all the systems surrounding Hykanima and the North West Pocket to vulnerability. Then Caldari Forces then assaulted each fort and liberated the systems from the Toxic Gallente King, Roy (Henry) Joffrey. This allowed the Caldari to upgrade their forts and seize the benefits of Tier 2 Rewards Payments. \n\nBlack Shark Cult then deployed to the South West of the Warzone. Basing out of enemy high sec. Black Shark Cult's insurgency campaign \"Operation Sharktopus\" saw them working with Caldari corps SQUIDS and CONOCO to capture 12 systems in two weeks. \n\nWith this campaign, a success and the exciting birth of Alpha Clones around the corner, Black Shark Cult audaciously set up base in the enemy held high-security trade hub of Stacmon. The ragtag bandits and insurgents prepared themselves with the weapons of war, and prepared new training camps for an envisioned influx of new converts. \n\nDuring this time there was a Gallente counter offensive. Of the 12 systems recently taken, 9 were recaptured. \n\nBlack Shark Operation Spartan was launched. Heavily armoured infantry in the form of Punishers took to the skies around Stacmon. Uphallant fell first, then a week later, it was Covryn and Iges. At the sieges of Covryn and Iges the first Black Shark cruiser doctrine fleets saw action, and the two forts were sieged by the Black Shark Cruiser Fleet with supplemental assistance from other Caldari Corps. \n\n[See the Battlefield Map at Dec 6](http://imgur.com/kkEFDpK)\n\nMeanwhile in the North of Placid, the Cal mil corps of Plexodus and SQUIDS were entrenched sieging the Gallente Fortress of Vlill. This allowed CONOCO to regain their 9 recently lost systems that week. \n\n\nBlack Shark and SQUIDS the took the system Brarel which was the last key to unlocking Tier 3 Rewards Payments. \n\nTier 3 Rewards and led to an influx of new recruits and farmers. The farmers brought a whole swathe of the warzone to vulnerability. Meanwhile The main Caldari forces Recaptured the fortress of Okkamon, then the entirety of the Caldari Militia deployed to the offensive staging citadels in and near the Gallente Fortress of Vlill. \n\nThis massive wave of support coming at the end of a month and a half siege by SQUIDS and Plexodus, completely overwhelmed the exhausted Gallente. The servants of the Toxic King fought valiantly but abandoned by their King they lost their homes and belongings. \n\nWith this battle, the last Gallente fortresses were removed from the west of the Warzone. The Toxic King's kingdom has shrunken substantially. The Gallente Lords hide in their castles in the East. House Black Fox is losing power. More that half its territory has been lost and its competitors within the Gallente grow stronger. \n\n[See the Battlefield Map at Jan 14](http://imgur.com/enq516j)\n\n\nWith fresh battle experience and an influx of new converts, Black Shark Cult returned to Stacmon and began the next stage of the quest. \n\n\n#Establishing a new civilisation. \n\nEve, The Mother, spoke to her servants in Black Shark Cult. She called them to establish a flourishing pirate civilisation in the South Placid Region. It shall be the Prime Location for the birthing and training of new pilots. The Toxic King has been driven out. Now it is time to restore life to the barren dying land. \n\nBlack Shark Cult began to build a camp in Agoze. Sacrifices were made to Lord Jaws, and friendships were made with local Pirates.

A new pirate civilisation, based on the foundation of Mother Eve and the Life Death Life Cycle, began to take shape. It was dedicated to the worship of the 7 gods, and above all to Lord Jaws the Hunter. The Placid region is home to the fantastic new player organisation, Eve University and A Band Apart. Pilots from both organisations and other local groups signed up to defend the Fight Club and New Player Training Zone. Defending against Gate camps and invaders set upon destroying the lifeblood of solo and small gang PvP.\n\nLocal Pirate Groups and Black Shark Cult have begun to seed local stations with common Solo PvP ships, fitted and on contracts so that Solo PvP pilots and have the rush of a non-stop PvP experience. \n\nThe Darkwater Pirate Coalition began to form to protect this fledgeling civilisation and the life it brings to new pilots. Information was shared and gate camps were spotted. Darkwater Response fleets were prepared to combat the gate camp menace. The members of the pirate coalition would fight amongst themselves day and night then join together in coalition fleets to clear the seas of gate camps, and intrusive large fleets. \n\nBlack Shark has allowed a few Gallente camps to remain in the area, these are not affiliated with the Toxic King. Eve the Life Mother said to show mercy and allow the new players who are still blinded by the lies of a Gallente Democracy to have a camp nearby so they can visit the Placid Fight Club. However from time to time, deluded overzealous Gallente pilots still caught up in the toxicity of the service to Roy (Henry) Joffrey attempt to overstay their welcome and aim to again destroy the New Player Zone with toxicity and abuse. \n\n\n#Welcome to all friends of Eve. \n\nLord Jaws is vigilant. His servants are prepared and open arms are extended to all who wish to bring life to New Eden, and the New Player Zone in South Placid. \n\nEve Fight Club is looking for solo PvPers, and small gang corporations to join the blood bath in low security space's Premier location for Solo and Small Gang PvP.

Eve The Life Death Life Mother loves the sight of Death. But the cycle must continue. Life begets Death begets Life. This is the fundamental essence of Eve herself, and the foundational rule of all New Eden.

Roy (Henry) Joffrey has committed the fundamental sin. He has blasphemed Eve herself. He has despised her in his heart and intends to kill her.

\n\n

Eve the Mother, she who is Holy, saw all this, and she chose an unlikely servant upon whom she bestowed the quest to right this terrible wrong.

Eve, The Mother, spoke to her servants in Black Shark Cult. She called them to establish a flourishing pirate civilisation in the South Placid Region. It shall be the Prime Location for the birthing and training of new pilots. The Toxic King has been driven out. Now it is time to restore life to the barren dying land.

Eve the Life Mother said to show mercy and allow the new players who are still blinded by the lies of a Gallente Democracy to have a camp nearby so they can visit the Placid Fight Club. However from time to time, deluded overzealous Gallente pilots still caught up in the toxicity of the service to Roy (Henry) Joffrey attempt to overstay their welcome and aim to again destroy the New Player Zone with toxicity and abuse.

\n\n

Welcome to all friends of Eve.

\n\n

Lord Jaws is vigilant. His servants are prepared and open arms are extended to all who wish to bring life to New Eden, and the New Player Zone in South Placid.

The Nemesis

\n\n

Roy (Henry) Joffrey still sits upon his thone in House Black Fox in the Fortress of Nisuwa. His territory has been taken from him, his position as leader is challenged, he has had to beg for help from his enemies in house WANGS, and House Aideron is showing a strong drive to put forth stronger and more noble king.

\n\n

For the time being we build a civilisation in the barren wasteland left by a Toxic Gallente Occupation. In the distance the war bells still ring. The abomination that causes desolation still sits upon a throne in Nisuwa, and Black Rise still suffers from a cancerous infestation.
