Still don't know how to post screenies so can't post networks.  I've been fiddling about really feeling my way forward.  Read some of the Eve Uni guides to get going but I like to figure stuff out myself.  One preliminary conclusion I have is with links - +distance => -powergrid => -extraction.  So the topology I'v adopted is of a net structure with each extractor lining to it nearest neighbour but routed to the main storage area (the launchpad) instead of a wheel with spokes leading from the storage to each extractor.  I figured this out on a gas planet where the distances are HUGE, but its still helps me to squez out an extra extractors or two.

One strategy people seem to have atm is to pick a P4 item and create a production line for those.  Is the corp going to aquire some POS BPOs? Maybe a P4 buying program? (easier to manage than a p1 - p3 one I suggest).

I've got to strip-mine operations on a Lava and Gas planet extracting a stockpile of those rare minerals.  However, I'm thinking of concentrating for the moment on maximum and efficient production of P1 products (seems best in hi-sec). Building up stockpiles which I then can switch into whichever P2 looks best and so on.

EVE Online / Re: BC Manifesto is done (version 1.0)

Nothing in the manifesto that I would disagree with - and that may be its only real fault.  Who's gonna say "no I want an Alliance that emphasises zero fun and a throwaway attitude to pilots plus no ambition to hold space"?  They are all worthy and laudable goals, my only real suggestion is that a "road-map" or a timetable might  give it some focus.  Something along the lines of - "by January to be able to field a Battleship fleet with Triage Carriers" (or whatever) but a bit more specific to argue over.

Well she pays her sub like everyone else and so is entitled to an opinion.  I used to feel the same when I started playing Eve - now I just roll with it.  My main question is who voted for her and does she have a mandate or does her name start with 'A' and the Eve player-base are as bad as she believes?  She shows a healthy disdain, even hatred, of those who voted her in which is admirable in these days of populism and fawning appeal to the mob element (cf. the CONDEM coalition).

A nice piece of work indeed.  Further proof that the game which they joined intending to destroy captured them instead.

I should be able to fly an Absolution by then - which warfare links would you like in the fitting? And more generally which is the 'best' (yes I have read and agreed the terms and conditions on the use of that word in EVE discussions ) mindlink to get for my PvP clone?

Also, with the change to T2 insurance we may be seeing more HACS than BCs on the roam.

Seems a good idea - making friends and connections can't be bad - plus its just next door to Kasrasi so gets my vote.  Once we get a few dreads and carriers we can start taking some of cows moons off them as well.  Bit of exploration for gas clouds and some booster production might also be on the cards.  All good if you ask me.

maybe it comes down to practical reality : if corps could park a TCU would we do it? today I'm guessing not.  The cost / benefit equation probably only works with an Alliance (rental fees, defence costs etc. cost).  Another question : we can as a corp setup in WH space: would we want to?  maybe yes.  Bottom lie the only decision for an Alliance is whether to claim 0.0 space or not, since thats the reason to have an Alliance instead of corps setting each other to blue.

Like I say I'm happy either way but I agree its probably not time for 0.0 just yet.  I also think it a good idea to get as many people as possible to "go see the elephant" in 0.0 and get used to it - maybe some stealth bomber roaming?

I small suggestion.

I am comletely unfamiliar with the way Alliance politics works but it seems to me that in the Alliance forums we should speak with one voice.  We debate amongst ourselves here but when the "opinion" of the alliance is requested (eg. in the poll on the alliance forums) would it not carry more weight if we sorted our differences out first then bloc vote? Maybe I'm just an old cynic but an appeal to the masses (bypassing any corporate body in between) is a classic way to divide and conquer.  So what does Ma'adi want to do next WH or 0.0? Personally I'm divided and don't really mind either way.
