might simply settle Querious and remain neutral to both entities, while the rest of the N3 coalition may or may not get involved. is also perfectly capable of siding with what they perceive to be the winning side. and CFC fought an extensive war last year and there is no love lost between the two factions, however NC. they have begun conquering systems in Querious and could represent a threat to either side. However an even more important wildcard is NC. Pandemic Legion, as mentioned, is a wildcard and their level of involvement will heavily determine the supercap usage by both sides. ELO Knight has already made an appearance in support of TEST during the NOL battles so this would not be surprising. More likely, Black Legion will provide some sort of tangible support for TEST, either by stepping up their campaign of moon harassment in the north or by actually deploying down south to farm kills off of the CFC. So it makes sense for TEST and the Darkness of Despair to cooperate to some extent, though its unlikely this will actually happen. TEST has two possible allies in their struggle the Darkness of Despair led Russian coalition has just taken their first few sov systems against the Dinner Coalition, and by keeping up this pressure they can possibly prevent Dinner Coalition from seriously attacking Tribal Band. TEST already has some extensive experience defending their own space by cycling cyno-jammers to mass a capital and supercapital defense fleet while denying one to the attacking side, but cyno-jammers can be destroyed with messy outcomes. The supercapital question is probably the single largest factor that will determine the success of the most critical timers both sides can afford massive sub-capital losses, but capital and super-capital losses are more difficult to replace. Pandemic Legion is a huge wildcard they won’t be able to stay away if both sides are bringing out supercapitals, but whether they intervene as an independent party or aligned with one side or the other remains to be seen. The CFC will almost certainly enjoy supercapital superiority which is a major factor in all-out sov warfare, but TEST has enough supercapitals as well as an enormous capital fleet that they may very well contest the capital realm. Ultimately, TEST will still be outnumbered roughly 2:1 but will have all the advantages of the defender. TEST also has a surge of income due to the Odyssey moon mineral changes but it will take some time to capitalize on this. On the defending side, TEST Alliance is the largest single alliance in the game with over 12,000 pilots and is supported by Tribal Band in Period Basis with another 3500 pilots. taking Querious from a crumbling RAIDEN and the possibility of Dinner Coalition attacking Period Basis. This will be an invasion on a massive scale with the entire might of the CFC coalition’s dozen alliances and 30,000+ pilots put into motion. I don’t think anyone is fooled by the “wrenching poverty” comment but Fountain is an immensely rich region with at least 50 charted R64 moons and some fantastic tru-sec space, so this is truly a prize region worth fighting over.ĬFC is staging out of the B-DBYQ station which has seen over 14,000 gate jumps in the last 24 hours, not even counting capital ships jumping into the system. Who is right and who is wrong doesn’t really matter: if we do not invade Fountain, someone else will – and they will enjoy the kind of wealth that we once had, while we wallow in wrenching poverty. Our finance team – the best in the game – tells me that in order for us to uphold our social programs, we must acquire more than fifty new R64s for the coalition. To compensate, other alliances have set up rental programs, something that we despise. Odyssey has stripped the value of our regions. Due to technetium and sound fiscal management, we have been able to fund a peacetime reimbursement system, carrier giveaways, and galaxy-changing events like Burn Jita and the Ice Interdictions. This is a land grab, pure and simple, with Mittani claiming:įor the past few years our coalition has become accustomed to a lifestyle that is the envy of EVE. In a rather interesting speech (profanity warning), The Mittani has laid out the reasons for the invasion. Only days after the release of Odyssey and my previous post about the certainty of coming conflict the CFC has formally announced their intention to strike south and invade Fountain.
