EVE: The nullsec pullout

Sorry for yet another EVE post, but interesting things are happening. I think I mentioned before that the alliance my corp is in started renting nullsec space from another big alliance.

As a group, we were paying big bucks for permission to stay in a secluded part of the lawless space under the wing of Gentleman's Club.

Well, they and their friends came under attack from Pandemic Legion and some of their associates. To keep it short, GC's friends didn't put up much of a fight, so they closed up shop and left. The others in our alliance also packed up and left, so we're pretty much alone out there. This all happened during a time when two of our experienced officers were offline for a few days, so I had to delay making a decision about what we should do.

Now that I've had proper input from everyone, I've decided we're pulling out as well. We stand to lose over 2 billion ISK in assets out there, and I think this conversation gets across the situation pretty well. If you get the sense that there's a large, vulnerable, valuable possession in a warzone, that's exactly the right sense.

Glossary:
POS = Player Owned Station. These eat fuel on an hourly basis. Without fuel, they shut down and become vulnerable.
DECA = the alliance we're in.
Orca, Obelisk = very expensive ships. Worth about 1.5 billion between them.

H3llHound > although i would like to see this POS getting attacked :)

Norjia Blacksteel > ahhaha

H3llHound > like i said on the forums I will simply sit in here and online guns until I run out :)

H3llHound > i have also started to refine the ore we bought form our members. its only 75% refine but better than nothing

Norjia Blacksteel > yeah
Norjia Blacksteel > i can't decide what to do about the POS
Norjia Blacksteel > I'm tempted to leave it there and see what happens
Norjia Blacksteel > but that wouldn't fit with whatever Deca decides to do
Norjia Blacksteel > and it's not cheap

H3llHound > if we just leave the tower and guns its around 470M at old prices

Norjia Blacksteel > would we be able to keep it fueled?

H3llHound > and we still have to figure how to get the orca and obelisk out
H3llHound > right now i have enough fuel to keep it going for another month

Norjia Blacksteel > shit this is a tough game
Norjia Blacksteel > WoW just doesn't hold a candle to this
Norjia Blacksteel > losing 500 mil won't hurt us badly

H3llHound > yeah, on the other hand it would like to see our Wh presence to grow again

Norjia Blacksteel > suppose we stay and it works out
Norjia Blacksteel > what happens with Deca?

H3llHound > what do you mean?

Norjia Blacksteel > if we're still there, and some other guys come in and we rent
Norjia Blacksteel > does deca come back?
Norjia Blacksteel > do we split off?

H3llHound > i dont think DECA will come back anytime soon. Some didnt really make alot here
H3llHound > I also have other corps in DECA that would be interested in colonising a C5/6 with us
H3llHound > renting for just alone is gonne expensive and we need to be in an alliance for it

Norjia Blacksteel > yeah
