For those wondering what escalation has brought to you, according to the feature list from CCP it isn't much.

• Loot Table Changes Show Some Industrialist Love
  NPC ships will no longer drop manufacturable T1 loot. NPCs will continue to drop modules, however T1 items which have a blueprint will no longer drop, making player manufacturing the primary source for these items.


• Tweaked Titan Tracking
  Titan tracking has been revisited, reducing tracking and the number of targets they can have locked at once. Smaller ships, such as sub-capitals, should now prove more useful in fleet battles as both offensive and defensive combatants.


• Bountiful Drone Rewards
  Alloys have been removed from the rogue drones, and bounties have been added to them to bring them in line with other faction mobs. Players no longer have to gather a cargo hold full of alloys to make rogue drone hunting lucrative.


• Incursion Iteration
  The rewards and challenges of Sansha invasion fleets in Incursion content have been revisited to better balance challenge and reward. Vanguard invasions will now take a bit longer, while the time to complete an Assault invasions will be reduced some. In addition, the ISK reward of Vanguard invasions has been changed to bring the reward in line with the difficulty/risk.


• Status Effects Notification Panel
  Status effects - commonly known as buffs and debuffs - currently active on your ship will now display in a more visible and intuitive Notification Panel on your screen, similar to other mainstream MMOs.


• More Multi-Cultural Character Creator Colors
  The EVE character creator now offers a wider assortment of skin hues for a more diverse and realistic palette.

Joy if you live in the drone regions or happen to be soloing a Titan in a Dominix. But other than than that it appears to be purly a "preparation" expansion for the big Inferno bang.

In other news, R3tro annoying HED-GP residents in a throw-away Thrasher.


This post has now fulfilled its "pwetty" quota.

Yeah SovHed's going to kill me, but I was bored of handing the link out to my little information page so I just made a redirect to it.

You will now see it whenever you go to Sev3rance.com, you should find a fair bit of FAQ information on here.

Welcome to the new Sev3rance Site, Everything spelled correctly (ha) and what not, its still a work in progress, apparently the grey wasn't favored so we went a bit darker still. Let me know what you think and what is missing. I figure we don't exactly need much on here but at least the basics. Please comment, thanks!

We tried the north, we gave it a great shot. But after discussions with the member base and reflection on the alliances foundation we have decided that there is nothing more we can do in the north against the Russian wave.

With the former Northern Coalition splitting and turning on itself we have chosen to go back to our routes and head south. We leave on good terms and would like to take this opportunity to give a couple of mentions.
Morsus Mihi, for coming to us in our hour of darkness with an offer to accommodate a fellow anti-pirate alliance.
Majesta Empire, for standing up for us when the Cloud Ring/Pure Blind operations turned on us.

So what are we after? We are heading south to our once home Providence to once more fight alongside our long standing ally Curatores Veritatis Alliance. Together we built Providence and both feel it home. We believe our future lies together in Providence.

It is also worth noting that we have returned our 0.0 rules of engagement to NRDS, and have reset our northern standings as appropriate.

If you have any questions about resets regarding your alliance please join channel "-7- diplomacy".

Oh noes, where did my permissions go!?

Well before you go sending mails to me about how I'm "such a spy". Read this. :)

AHHH I've lost my forum access! Help me MJ!

No.

Everybody's forum access has been revoked. Why? Have I lost the plot? Going spy on you? Yet again, no.

I have just spent the last two nights automating the process as I've been intending to for Christ knows how long. To get your access back please visit the link in this mail.
Again as before you must have been in your corp for at least 30 days and your corp must have been in the alliance for at least 30 days.
I love this new system long time as it saves me a titanic amount of work.

If you have been a nub face and registered with your corp ticker in your name please mail me and I'll change it for you.
Any errors that pop up please mail me all the text on the page. You are my guinea pigs and I need you to report any problems so I can make the system as solid as possible.

Have fun,
♥ MJ

See, simples.
