Supercarriers on the Horizon

    It appears that Pandemic Legion is starting to base a half dozen Supers in a POS they forced into Providence.  There has also been a lot of potential hotdrop hostiles roaming about, probably looking for a good enough target to attack. This is the kind of potential problem that the forces in Providence IMO are not prepared at all to repel. The NRDS alliances desperately need to make the building of a sizeable Capital fleet their priority in the coming months. No system has fallen yet, but the bait was taken last week when SBUs were deployed and a slaughter between NRDS forces, PL, AAA, and others erupted where the NRDS forces were shoved aside for a cap battle including dreadnoughts.  Being swatted aside should tell people we need to start preparing for more difficult times ahead.

Ice Crunch

It appears that there is a new coalition of pirates that have attempted to disrupt or even profit from people mining Caldari ice. This "coalition" of pilots are calling themselves The New Order. There are several unaffiliated corps involved with some possible goons support lined up. two systems in particular seem to be very active:  Kamio and Haliama.  They are just over the Caldari border and are transitted by many. Expect Caldari ice and it's products to start to increase in prices. They are even podding people in highsec as well.

Holiday Season it's not

  As we approach Christmas, it seems like people get more nasty in the Eve universe. You can't borrow someone's ship without collateral. No one likes to help scout for your tranny and intel becomes as accurate as a blind archer in a competition.  As I continue my parts assembly for a Carrier to sell, I am reminded how small I really am in Eve. Pandemic Legion and Test decided to "offline" all of CVA's jumpbridges with 6, I repeat, 6 supercarriers.  I did what everyone else did, watched. It appears that the fun times haven't started yet. Even cloaked macharials are finding their way into our sov space without too much anybody can do about it.  On a good note, I have been gutting a Bistot grav site for about 24 hours so it's hardly been a cramp on my style lately.  No mistletoe in space please.
