Greetings, SMA.

Through the last few months, we've experienced some hardships that have lead to some animosity within the line. Corps have come and gone. However, we need to band together in times like these. And that starts with all of us.

Now is the time where we stop digging in our heels, and really reach out to help one another. If you see Corp / alliance members struggling, be it affording ships for fleets / pve, or even just general guidance, please offer to help them. We need unity more now than we ever had in the past.

And to go hand in hand with that, it's time to reintroduce an old SMA item we haven't used since Branch: The Standing Fleet.

How it works:

FCs will be given a few faster moving doctrines to police Fade / Pure Blind in. The goal here is to get ratters, miners, and PVP pilots into one nice, cushy fleet that can we can react better to.

Any doctrines assigned for standing fleets will be SRP-able. Also, standing fleets will come with pap links that are tagged under the same labels as Civil Contractor fleets (IE: PVE). This will give harder PVP focused corps a chance to get some PVE paps in return.

We realize both Fade and Pure Blind are a large area to cover with one fleet. We also cannot guarantee we will be able to save everyone. Eventually, we would like to expand this to 2-3 fleets up, to cover east and west Fade, as well as Pure Blind. But for the time being, we want to get this off the ground, and get you all unified and working together once again.

What we need from you:

USSR Fleet (Scythe Fleets), and Confessors, need to be stocked in P-2. All Standing Fleets will depart from there, as any fleets pertaining to indexes would.

Put a jumpclone in P-2 if you haven't already.

Make sure you are joining comms, be it as a ratter, miner or PVPer. Communication is the key!

Above all else, be ready to help your fellow alliance mates.
