There's Always a Bigger Fish: The Latest in the Minmatar/Amarr Drama

Over the weekend, Pandemic Legion moved into Amamake. This is one jump from the Minmatar home base in Auga, and three jumps from the Amarr home base in Huola.

So far, I've been told by fellow Minmatar that PL are 'hot dropping everything in sight.' The only confirmed hot drop at the moment is Shalees report about their failed attempt to hot drop an Amarr Redeemer on a gate.

*Edit: As I was writing this, Pandemic Legion hot dropped (with super caps) an Archon outside the station (Huola) I'm currently sitting in. The Archon pilot was an unknown neutral.

It is currently unknown why Pandemic Legion has moved into the area, though it is probably a temporary staging point as they move on to their next campaign or war, or whatever Pandemic Legion has going on. Apparently, PL has suffered some significant losses to Goons as of late, as reported here.

Eve Online and The American Revolution

One of my favorite movies is “The Patriot” starring Mel Gibson. Of course, the moment where Gibson’s character takes his son’s flag and goes riding up alongside the militia is an awesome scene, even if you’re not very politically minded.

However, there is some other cool stuff I am fascinated with in this movie including how they contrast the ‘old’ ways of fighting with the ‘new.’ The militia were not trained soldiers. Many were farmers protecting their homes, and fighting for their rights. In a face to face battle, they would not fare well, and had to resort to more guerilla tactics as a means for engaging the more highly trained armies.
