There is a serious lack of decent pirates in grey.
Some feeble attempts at cheap pking by a single beeper spammer in hornet are pathetic and he is even not a pirate, just some poor frustrated kid trying to be a bully and failing miserably.
Serco/Itani participation in CTC is all time low and about the only thing that is still interesting a bit is an occasional consentual brawl or duel in B8 if there are no pathetic beeper spammers to interrupt and spoil it.
Pirates like BLAK or CLM used to create RP content for majority of VO players in grey and made things a tad more challenging and interesting.
BP mission exploit made lot of ppl rich and powerleveled them to maximum.
Because of that trading, besides gaining faction standing, has no real meaning anymore and the same is with the usual combat missions botting for xp and levels.
Added hive content kept playerbase interested for a few weeks, looking at it now Hive can infest the whole universe and nobody will care.
So i have the blues.:(

Hummm... understood... :p

Meh. That's what SCAR is there for.....

Well, let's eradicate the Hive, OK?
We'll make it our goal this weekend. Clear Sedina of All bots, starting in A-1 and work our way down! It's a bug hunt!

[RAID] Guild™: Robotic Artificial Intelligence Destroyers, same mandate as HSAF but twice the DEET!™

[RAID]™: Kills Bots Dead.™
[RAID]™: Kills Queens Dead.™

Should we make a guild or just go kill the bugs? I could have quite a bit of fun with this guild. Just the advertising would keep me occupied for weeks. Perhaps I'll make an alt? .....

"Call the Exterminators!"

Eradicating the hive is simple... just find the levi... and kill it.

stuff comes back a day or two later... and there are some sectors with queens that are guarded by only 2 valents... so one person per sector works just fine.

Hog + Megaposi + neut2 for soloing queens

The Assaults never get close enough to heal her... the weird thing is that about 8 guardians materialize when she gets below 25% in a sector that's already pretty full of bots.

End solution... kill teh levi.

Well, bojan is bored because there's no RP aspect to the fighting in B8 anymore. No "reason d'être".

So, I propose that our imission, should we decide to accept it, is to exterminate every single last bot in Sedina. Start with open sectors, just make notes of the Queen and Levi sectors.
Then, destroy the Queen bastions.
Then, assemble everyone and destroy the Levi.
It'll be bot-free for 4 hours! Woo!

LeberMac,

I agree with icbm1987. With the current Sedina hive AI, there's no reason to kill any bots except the leviathan. If the leviathan actually depended on the bastions, etc., then there would be motivation for killing other bots in Sedina.

As for [RAID], why not join the [HSAF] instead? Name isn't catchy enough for ya? Seriously, if [IA] dies we'd be rather accommodating for a active player such as yourself...

Oh, and remember, the "*** 5 MILLION CREDIT BOUNTY ***" is this weekend.

Help the Itani Alliance find Dr. Girlfriend in her bus! Return the Neural Spike (NSI widget) to claim your reward!

And DON'T let the Serco get it, or worse, the HIVE!

Yeah, [HSAF] not catchy enough. [RAID] is better! Plus a lot of catchy jingles & puns work with the [RAID] name.

I've got some ideas centered around a bot-killing guild. We'll chat.
