And removes the nomadic nature of PL. PL has to defend the towers when the NC strikes or they loose them. It was hard for PL's enemies to strike if there are no static assets. But now PL has bound themself to a region with expensive assets (Tech). I'm pretty sure that PL loves the moongoo income, but I wonder how long they are willing to pay the price. PL was never good at defence, they like to kill stuff.Ve Vengeancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480343417590731835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-23519297108661881012011-01-04T18:10:46.678-08:002011-01-04T18:10:46.678-08:00I think PL is more stable than our Dear Fiddle pre...I think PL is more stable than our Dear Fiddle presumes, primarily because of its out-of-game forum posting culture. I do not perceive them to be only "serious business" players, but more akin to Goon's "lol u died you n00b". This should give them more stability and flexibility under losses than, say, IT.<br /><br />I believe Mord's analysis is otherwise correct.Arggamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710556952417899805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-48927944405193405422011-01-04T13:44:23.713-08:002011-01-04T13:44:23.713-08:00RE: PL: I had been kind of thinking that PL's ...RE: PL: I had been kind of thinking that PL's laying claim to Venal perhaps is a case of making crafty use of its reputation and making hay while the sun is shining. Claiming the NPC region relieves them of the burden of sovereignty but provides the necessary real estate. I would guess that it could, to some degree, conceal any actual losses taken, while at the same time affording them a base of operation and one which will yet be given a wide berth by most. (How can you lose what you never had?) Eventually to some, like the NC maybe, it also cries the siren song of "come and take it", a rock on which to dash the ship without any tangible ultimate reward. Seems like it's the best of both worlds to the Mongol class of nullsec dweller.Xel Sethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138166462534504865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604973112865316634.post-69936665082952858382011-01-04T13:18:46.991-08:002011-01-04T13:18:46.991-08:00Riveting insight and commentary, as ever, Mord.

But it's in how you bring those factors and other facets to the fore that truly sets your analyses apart and makes you shine.Xel Sethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12138166462534504865noreply@blogger.com
