Yes Mauro, French Navy withdrew from the tournament. Thank you for reminding us.

Nobody cares Pokk... When you come back whenever some "miracle" patch happens that you believe will let you win by logging off and playing on Alpha alts, we'll be right here waiting. And week by week, our stockpile will only increase now that we're actually at full war production again.

you seem to forget... prior to intrusion 2.0... squid didn't just survive the constant onslaught.. it grew and prospered.
It took 1 station from the bloc and even better it successfully defended it...
This was handled mainly through only having to suffer a weekly intrusion, this was manageable through ppl either taking the occassional holiday or simply carrying on through their day with lack of sleep. This is something not workable with the new intrusion2.0. Instead of weekly intrusions its now 24/7 twice daily intrusions...
Despite plea's from the concerned players prior to implementation... this was pushed through.
Don't get me wrong i applaud the work done by the dev's and it will encourage pvp... however the results will be far reaching... and the amount of ppl on beta's will drop rather than increase... as it is now far far harder for a corp let alone an alliance to inhabit an outpost. The only exception to this is prolly sovnov who had the neccessary resources in place and the manpower to make an attempt at holding outposts.
Mighty though sovnov is... don't pat yourself on the back too hard... what u did not or could not achieve.. the new intrusion system has done it for you.

So i guess MORTE have learned the mighty ECORP maneuver from us then cause i saw them dock up in koykil when we decided to do a friendly visit early today. And when they grew the balls to come over to kent they decided to walk 1000m of the teleport before finding out that they didn't want to fight. Even when they didn't meet any resistance at the tp.

I like how this comes from RG whom are part of the alliance who utilised shields the most.
Both before this event and during it.

Shields are impressive when used correctly but in large fights can be over-powered. The issue is that for each 2 people using shields you need about a 4 man team to take them down. Meaning 25 people with this shield setup is basically unstoppable. I hope the issue with micro-managing shields can be resolved to make them good tanks but not the best.

I don t get your point.
It snot about give time to the one who gone blow to run away avoiding friendly fire or causing damage by his blow but to give time to the other bot to get there *** of the range of blow.
