What he said.
Gang up in BC's if people cannot afford T2 ships. A well fc'd and nonstupid group of pilots in bc's can do damn well against quite a variety of ships. They are much versatile than alot of people presume (especially bears who excepting draek and maybe 'cane pilots, tend to shot through the class on the way to BS's), hell you can even fit tackle and ewar to them (draeks work well for this and still dont compromise tank too much now that rigs are super cheap).
I'd second the thing about the alliance's pilots, income and wherewithal to generate it does seem to be an issue, as well as from a near outsider pov on my part that alot of the pilots are 'bears and dont want to risk too much even if they do have isk to throw at pvp on a semi-regular basis.
Anyways about these guys who decced the alliance, any idea on their base of ops, potential reasons for an empire dec etc (ie did chumly set them red etc lol) over and beyond the fact that empire wars can be fun?
