Indeed. It's a bit of a mess right now. I would be willing to guess that you will see more and more freighter operations going on and many more freighter kills in the next few weeks.

Given what I am seeing with this sort of logistical work that existing alliances with sov are going through, I am willing to say that this change for sov in game has the potential to backfire.

Look at challenges the existing alliances are having to face with both moving these structures and the cost of these items.

How the heck can a 150 man alliance afford the cost to deploy these things? Wasn't this change to sovereignty meant to allow smaller alliances to be able to take hold in 0.0? I simply don't see it being feasible.

Being a freighter ship seller right now = Great thing
Being a 0.0 freighter pilot right now = NOT a good thing

Seems a few of the nullsec alliances are taking advantage of the necessary shipments to maintain sov…

Yup, it seems that CK forgot to put you into the shared items tag in Google Reader. Hopefully traffic to your site will pick up now that you are correctly listed correctly.

650m for a freighter? Where were YOU buying?! …heh.

Anyway, I love what you've done lately with the Google Reader pages. Gives me something to mull over.

Agreed. It will bring another level to the "emergent" experience. Supply operations will have to become an operation as common as the combat patrol roam.

It will lead to a whole new kind of gang, the true escort fleet.

I'm happy about this. Definitely I was disappointed when I started playing EVE that big scary convoy operations weren't generally a part of the "hardcore" life in 0.0 due to jump bridges and jump drives. Should provide plenty of lol's and emorage.

Thanx. It really make is easy to add content to your blog. I read stuff on my iPod Touch with the Feeds app, add a tag and the page updates when it syncs with Google.

w00t – maybe the one I'm building might actually fetch more than the 650 I'm aiming for then! o/
