That was done entirely on a voluntary basis, i.e. not everybody deployed, and not all the alliance members went.<br />Only a handful live there 24/7, the rest move in from time to time, when Bob makes it particularly easy or when they feel like it.<br />A few members of Drama Sutra have trickled in with the same goals.<br /><br />Just A Game is on the side of Spears of Destiny, and the Russians' renters have brought in a few more friends as well. Given how JAG has been promised the very same constellation that KICK and BSTRD are in, the short-term forecast at the end of the article simply is not going to happen.<br /><br />Fozziesov makes it imperative to live locally if you want to hold a system. Neither KICK nor BSTRD want to become local residents, so sooner or later the renters will get the place back after he current pirate rabble gets bored.Bozonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-47074941055519161812015-07-22T10:27:01.856-05:002015-07-22T10:27:01.856-05:00As noted, kick are wormholers.

A bit of experience finding, securing and using wormhole routes makes it seem like all the cluster is 15 jumps from Jita.<br /><br />I mean, for a while I lived on the wrong side of faction warfare lowsec (an experiment living in a "hisec island" constellation), and took a freighter past it and back every fortnight without issue. Having dealt with the horror that is a c3 with only a lowsec static, anything else is a pleasant relief.<br /><br /><br />That said, sov-trolling sounds like the sort of thing bored wormhole players might do. Sounds like at the least they've gotten some fights, and that is what most folk out there want!Killfalconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-78371546981327793802015-07-22T08:41:27.660-05:002015-07-22T08:41:27.660-05:00Not an accident more just testing the waters and d...Not an accident more just testing the waters and deploying for fun, its not a serious attempt to become a null sec entity. Been there for a while now pre Fozziesov as Nozy points out. Its only a small deployment, with a few interested members of the alliance but all involved have enjoyed it, learnt some things about fozziesov. I think even our neighbours have enjoyed it and learnt some fozziesov tricks also,<br /><br /><br />KICK is a WH alliance so logistics are much the same.Stefannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-51228424866149162812015-07-22T08:11:59.819-05:002015-07-22T08:11:59.819-05:00This strikes me more as an experiment.

They have no way to support that space.<br /><br />It seems more like sov-trolling which ended up being unintentionally successful when the Russians turned out not to give a fuck.wartzillanoreply@blogger.com
