UFA is still an option if thats what people want, as well I wont have to actually deal with Eddz in Alliance channel will I? Theres just something about him that winds me up.

The North is probably a better option if we want to get out there properly into calm space (norths a giant napfest) that has little chance of a rapetrain heading its way - BoB tried that already - and give 0.0 life a go. Although lots of established and organised cap builders up that way already.

Providence is most likely going to become a no-no (and its shit anyway) as I'll no doubt cause incidents there when SHC's ganknight rolls that way on Saturday.  Avoided any such thing at the AU class, but I dont think I'll manage it this weekend :)

UFA isn't KIA or have I misunderstood things?
However you are the CEO ;) you have the final say imo.

edit:
Also, thinking ahead a bit, if an alliance isn't as suitable as they looked we can pack up and move right?

Aye - you can pack up and move out.

I'm trying to contact old friends in a corp, VHI, to see what they're up to - I heard a rumour that they might be looking to push into Geminate again.

UFA seem fine - and Intrepid Crossing's space is good, large, and surrounded by BLUE ...

And it's a good way to get to know the space and the surrounding alliances.

Aye - more space with probably more options and an existing Jump Bridge network.

Digging deeper & chatting with Vac it looks like Intreped might be a better option for us.
The have better and more space, are active in PvP and the quality of their space means better range & scope of belts, they have a jump bridge network and a good volume of players.
They have good standings with their neighbours and are + to Vac's corp/alliance.
The downside is the distance - it's a fair number of jumps - around 41 from Anttiri.

Ok, that sounds good.
Why would that distance matter?? When we move our operations will mostly be in the region except for some hauling to market centers i suppose?
So sure the distance is a problem initially but how much of a problem would it be after we have established ourselves?

Two things to bear in mind:

1. Drone regions are great because they have lots of mineral rich rats that mean the corp can get minerals really easily unfortunately there is no bounty on rats
2. Drone regions suck because they have lots of mineral rich rats that mean the corp can get minerals really easily unfortunately there is no bounty on rats

However, lots of exploration and mining options out there ... and IRC seem decent enough, though need to get clarity on what being a member of their alliance means & requires.

Looks like around 17 jumps from Anttiri to the first of the systems they control that is Jump Bridge capable. 
The corp MPP would need to be updated from the Drone droppings but it is a vehicle for making money from the drones.

Ok, this has been one of the prime targets from the beginning. So...
- Do ppl know ppl in UFA?
- (If so,) has the subject been brought up?
- To Beo: In the above quote you say 'if thats what people want'. I still taste that UFA isnt your first choice, or is it?
- To Beo: Is the disliking of you and Eddz mutual, or just one way? In the first case us joining UFA won't be a good choice IMHO. In the second case: see former question -> responsibilities within MAADI are getting a bit more decentralized, but you will be the alpha-male in our corp for at least a long time to come. IMO if you dont like it, its not a good idea.
- If there are nó probs, I don't see why we shouldnt try to make an effort to join UFA. But I have always been one of rapid decision taking, which isnt always good.
nagging beo with a bump of this post

I've been looking at alternatives for the 0.0 alliance we join and have come up with Ethereal Dawn (ED).
I know somebody in their chain of command who will vouch for us and have given me a contact to talk to futher should we be interested.

The main region they control is along the Southern Eastern side of eve - just west of where Intrepid Crossing (IRC) are.
ED are blue to IRC and also to Goon but they get plenty of action jugding by their killboard.

They appear to have good control over their region, sov over a decent number of them and are close to the drone regions.  They also have sov of systems just south of the drone regions.

Either look fine to me, ED seems safer due to control over their own access to 0.0.

I'd like to move swiftly on this - the BoB affair is going to shake things up and could gives us some opportunities.
