Another update to the shenanigans mentioned below

repost from goon forum:

W33ds decided to infiltrate and take down a corp in AAA: the Dark Tribe. Now, W33ds may be a stoner on the scale that would have a Cypress Hill tutting disapprovingly and urging him to clean up his life, but he has an ability to socially engineer that puts him up there with the Blawrf Mactaggarts and the Bernie Maidoffs of this world.


W33ds laid the groundwork, inserted a character before his main to leave as a stay-behind (hilariously, AAA know that he is still in there, but don't know who it is), and then gradually worked his way up in the corp, amassing rights and roles and trust as he went. He also brought in his able assistant Leykab, knowing that one person would never be able to grab the contents of multiple corp hangars across empire and nullsec as well as not one but two wormholes. The Dark Tribe are basically Untermenschen in AAA: they are allowed to stay because they provide subsidised T3 hulls to the alliance, which in turn allows The Mackerel and Perseus "Architect of Max Damage II" Kallistratos to continue throwing away huge loki and tengu fleets.


By the end, the Dark Tribe's CEO, Mulasoldats, trusted W33ds implicitly. Mulasoldats knew W33ds was a scammer and he even suspected that he might even have a goonswarm alt but W33ds convinced him that his loyalties lay solidly with the corp. So he was made a full director. And when the time came for Mulasoldats to go away figure-skating for a week (I shit you not), the natural candidate to take over was his right-hand man, good ol' W33ds! W33ds even persuaded him to drop another 8 billion into the corp wallet, "just in case any bills came up."


The Takedown


Let me stress to you that the screenshots display only a fraction of what was stolen. Neither you nor I want to scroll through something like another 80-100 pages of screenshots, and it took me days to catch W33ds straight enough to get him to snap these ones.


If you look carefully at some of the hangar screenshots like this one of the vast majority of loot already safely jump-freightered to empire space - https://www.dropbox....13-33-00-89.PNG - you will see by the scroll bar that only about 6% or 7% of what was stolen is shown. W33ds and leykab had to split their winnings in one office between three characters, because you can only have 999 stacks of items in a single hangar. Look at the volume of goods in these hangars that are not shown: hundreds of thousands of m3 on each character in one hangar.


The haul is massive. They gave W33ds a nyx, for one thing, which isn't bad to begin with. Scores of T3 hulls, vast quantities of T3 subsystems, components and salvage to the value of tens of billions by themselves, dreads, carriers, a rorqual, a jump freighter, T2 hulls, tens of thousands of meta 4 and T2 modules, numerous faction towers, battleships and so on.


Oh, and although the combined CFC/HBC invasion meant that W33ds wasn't given a free titan as they had planned, he was given the components for one, awaiting build, so there's another hundred billion or so. Plus the set of component blueprints.


We don't know the total haul, mainly because it is so vast that nobody can be bothered to count it all: we thought it was just north of 100 billion at first but now we believe it is probably nearer 200 billion, of which something like 40bn is probably unrecoverable in the half year or so. Oh well.


Add to this the fact that W33ds was one of a number of agents that gave us round-the-clock coverage of AAA's fleet and supercap communications, meaning that we could happily use small supercap fleets with complete security in our Delve and Querious campaigns. Draw your own conclusions about the state of AAA's security from the fact that we could afford to burn a supercap pilot like W33ds.


Only a couple of seconds of lag saved another nyx from being blown up by DBRB's fleet, which moved down to take advantage of the havoc. AAA assembled a battleship-heavy fleet that should have murdered the Boatman's hastily-assembled grab-bag of aw0xers, especially since they were engaging on the undock of a friendly station, but we had half a dozen alts in the AAA fleet, so every time a hostile was primaried by Boat they would be booted from fleet and thus could not either broadcast for reps nor dock thanks to the session change. Sometimes, DBRB amazes me with his malign cunning. For a full write-up, read his AAR here.


A nice touch was W33ds changing the name of the station numerous times, not least to "You can't dock here this is Bat Country". The Dark Tribe have still not been allowed back into AAA almost a week later, and have booted all members recruited less than six months ago as a bonus outcome in their futile attempts to root out the stay-behind agent. Here is their sad tale of woe in graph and table form: http://evemaps.dotla...Tribe/alliances


The Score


Here is a sample of screenshots that W33ds took before passing out. As I say, you really didn't want to have to sit there while another 80+ pictures downloaded but this should give you the jist of it.

Update to Goon shenangans.

repost from goon forum:




Thursday 26th July, 8 bells in the morning watch, an operation to hunt Leviathan himself


As with all things truffle pig related, this has a rather short back story mixed with a long journey and the chance of blueballs.
One day a time back the GIA director and Senior Posting Official SIR ENDIE contacts me with a proposition.


Endie: Hey if I get you a nyx to kill between 9am and DT tomorrow - very high probability - will you be able to run a fleet or are you going to be asleep or at work or something?


With this to work with I spent the next few hours talking with leykab and setup a wonderful downtime op. This nyx would always rat between the hours of 08:00eve and 11:00eve EVERY NIGHT. In this case, our spy friends were going to go ratting with him in his nyx and proceed to bubble and aggress him while our big fleet sat 1 jump out ready to rumble. Endie posts one of the best op posts in history and the date is set for this morning at 0800eve.


That is the back story and now to the party. Op forms at 08:00eve with goons having no clue what is to come. 30 Truffle pests and 90 welpcanes form up on a gate and begin the long and rather quiet trek through highsec to the system of Keberz (29 jumps) awaiting further orders. Reports come in that our 130man gang is now spotted as we enter hed- and a defense fleet is formed. No worries though because we can see this and out of the 90 or so AAA online, they can only manage a fleet of 12. Once through highsec and our trip of 10 jumps through 0.0, we arrive and the logoff is ordered while I coordinate with the GIA dudes. At this point of the story only 3 people outside of the GIA know what is up, my locator agent and buddy innominate (capswarm director), myself and my dog. 2 hours later and some very hard work from our GIA guys, he logs in and the trap is set. At this point, the spies had set EVERYONE in my fleet blue to this corporation and he has no idea what is coming. But, sadly as the hictor landed on him at 0km with him aggressed, he jumps out and logs off in a rage of "OMGFG I TRUSTED YOU GUYS."


With the cover blown and the welp/blueballs coming it is now 30min till downtime. I start coming up with the best ways possible to get kills. The first being a navy mega and 2 t2 cruisers that come walking through the JB (we turned the guns off, set the jb blue to all of us, and were using it to jump back and forth and hide our fleet..... THANKS -A- FOR FUELING THEM!!!). Reports do not come in till seconds before downtime that the bridge is camped so our cover is still NOT NOTICED!


With downtime over, I ask one of our GIA to fool those who need to be fueled and in -A- alliance chat this message is sent. "Hello. I need some DPS support. Officer spawn found. Convo for details" The very first person to convo offers his MIGHTY RATTING ARCHON as dps. Since we are camping the JB and Cyno Beacon we convince this dude rather easy to just jump in and warp to the guy in fleet. He jumps in, dies seconds later. With the carrier dead, -A- alliance chat flies into a rage of OMG DIRECTOR SPY DONT LISTEN TO THAT CORP. Having blown our cover and the knowledge of our camp out, we then use another director level spy to scream "Nyx tackled, he just jumped to C3- beacon, HES DYING!" For the next 20 min our Awox backbone of 7 dudes go back and forth in -A- alliance chat PLEEDING for help. -A- finally grows a pair, sends out 2 alliance mails and orders all pilots to ignore the corp. and to wait for the BATPHONE OF MALU TO KICK THE CORP. (which doesn't happen till about 1600eve). It is now 1200eve, we have ruined this corp, gia has stole everything not nailed down and it's time to leave.


As we leave for our journey home, awoxers begin reporting of a fleet of 85 bs undocking in GE-8. Our awoxers join fleet, adding another 7 people to the mighty BS fleet coming my way. We finally catch up to them at GE-8 and jump into their home, their VFK, their NOL. Being a  man, Cobra2k warps them at 0KM TO MYYYYY WELPFLEET. A plentiful rape and bubble train 100km long ensues seeing 20-30 rohks slaughtered like cattle, dying so fast I couldn't call targets. The reason we didn't die, half their alliance saw US BLUE! With the gate dead and looting done, I make the final choice to engage in mighty combat on the station (fuck flying 45 jumps home) and we do just that, station undock at 0km, fighting to the last man. All enemies die again faster then I call targets, so I just call ship types (oracles and such) and we wipe them clean in seconds. This bear in mind is with 6 triage carriers and 20 logi for them on the undock. But, why did they not tank just a few ships? Our awoxers were constantly joining squad command and kicking primaries as we called them OOOOOOPS (no docking for 20 seconds if not aggressed and no reps if calling for it). 


And finally we all died. The corporation was kicked while I slept and is now a broke, non sov holding corporation with its membership mostly kicked out by directors

Goon infiltration shenanigans

Repost from Goon jabber:

For those who weren't on today's whaling op, you should take a look at this corp history: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/corp/The_Dark_Tribe/alliances

The Dark Tribe are the AAA corp who supply subsidised Tengus and Lokis to their alliance.  They were therefore very rich indeed.  A GIA agent, Mr W33ds, helped by his able assistant Leykab, both of Bat Country, infiltrated them, worked his way to the top over a period of months, was made full director and was then left in charge this week.

W33ds (who is like Arghy but less lucid, but turns out to be an amazing social engineer) and Leykab stole what looks close to 100 billion ISK of corp wallet, ships, modules, t3 components, titan components and more.  They emptied wormhole POSes of capitals.  W33ds was given a super.  They invited a slew of awoxing alts and Dabigredboat led them around through AAA space killing something north of 100 ships.  The Dark Tribe have been booted from AAA, and since they allowed a known Goon scammer to take control they might have some explaining to do.

Update to follow once screenshots post on goons forum :3

Mineral prices speculation.

With the upcoming buffs to mining barges - mineral prices are going to drop substantially.
The knock on effect of this is everything in eve (that uses minerals) is going to be cheaper, especially  caps supers and titans.


If you are about to buy a big ship, wait a few months. Also another knock on will mean that PvP will be cheaper - especially with alchemy coming up soon for t2 modules.


Winter is going to be a time of lots of things exploding because cheaper stuff means less risk aversion!


Fuel will also be cheaper due to more ice and the inability to gank ice miners. 


One look at jita prices shows prices are already dropping due to people cashing out before the drop. Trit down from 7.2 to 6.2 in the space of a week.

Black Legion ♥ Nulli followup

We took back all the tech we lost last night. For some reason the BL/Nulli fleet warped into our pos - allowing vee to change password and eject everyone at which point we just tackled and raped them.

After about half of them escaped, they bubbled their own fleet to protect from bombers. We warped in and killed the rest of them.

We had an Alphafleet and a Drakefleet. They had a Nagafleet.

XLegionXXofXXXXXXDeathXXXXXXXX   turned up XXXX  with a small ahac fleet after everyone was dead and was like hay dudes can we get some mails.

They have been guarding our tech while we was down south :3  props bros!
