Alliance updates and thoughts

Today, TGIND is a part of a new alliance Nova Invicta Legion. Since I have experience in the matter, I helped to get basic tools like a website, forums and killboard setup. There was lots of discussions surrounding the decisions to leave Sylph Alliance but ultimately politics won and we are now back in Empire looking for a new home in 0.0.

Eight months ago, we left Empire to head into 0.0 with the hopes of leaving Empire wardec griefers behind and establish a new path for the corporation. Back then, we were inexperienced and just starting out. 0.0 with its wonders and danger beckoned and while most didn’t survive the experience, from burning out to moving back to empire quickly, some of us did enjoy the stay and managed to thrive on the experience.

In a relatively short time frame, we established corporation mineral programs to help miners and producers create a thriving production line for PvP folks. A capital ship program was also introduced with investments coming from members that allowed us to supply much needed capital ships to the alliance at a reasonable cost. I also personally managed to run a Top Killers PvP competition for the corp to encourage people to fleet up with prizes ranging from battleships to cruisers.

NRDS has certainly been an interesting experience and while I will probably never get used to seeing neutrals free floating through (they could be a spy, bait or simply really neutral), I do admire the fact that the alliances in Providence and Northen Catch have managed to uphold it for so long.

While I’m sad that we’ll be leaving 0.0 so soon after many good changes were taking place in Sylph, it’s also time to get back in touch with Empire life and create some opportunities to provide a better income for PvP in the future.

With this change, I’ll be re-establishing my old empire mining and mission bases. Janitors and exotic dancers have once again been hired with some mercenaries engaged for good measure. I’ll need to talk to agents again to get missions and get some action on the veldspar mining that seems so profitable these days.
