The tone of the engagements in Fade and Pure Blind have changed a great deal this week. Voltron, with us at the lead, have abandoned taking black ops into Fade, having run out of topes after scalping so many shitlords and filling our fuel bays with tears (Fozzie is working on making tears a viable fuel for blops, so we don't have to re-fuel so much while in enemy space). We've been utterly unable to lose a single fight, and this is because every time we form more than 10 dudes they are forced to stay docked, as the prospect of going less than 5:1 odds is just not appealing against our mighty force. We've therefore fallen back to using lower tier doctrines so that the foes may once again undock, making the crop flourish again so that we may continue to farm it. We barely arrive for more than a few seconds and the enemy flocks back into their jew space. If you are travelling through Fade or Pure Blind pay extremely close attention to local channel and make sure you post their tears in the SMA Tears Thread for all to see (its up to like 15 pages lmao).

The Saranen deployment is a massive joke. They haven't hit anything that we own, and the few Cadmiums they have taken from our voltron allies have proved to be a massive feed on their part and those assets will likely not replace the isk lost for like 20 years. At least their CEOs are making enough isk to buy more procurers i guess. We expect larger scale fights as we call for fleets with our allies and still manage to always win against 5x+ odds. There are very high chances we will be able to farm gorillions of gorillions of isk. Everyone should have at least 1 character ready to farm the scalps that will drop from all those kills, and you're allowed to keep scalping in Fade during fleets and making even more gorillions. Even something simple like putting more ammo in your doctrine ships could make the difference between 100 scalps and 420 scalps.

News from the front:

This week saw the end of another great week removing kebab in Fade. After crushing victories and humiliating losses SMA have stopped trying to defend their space and have resorted to RF'ing worthless sov while we genocide them in Fade. They are now on the back foot, scrambling around to defend their systems in Cloud Ring. We made Cloud Ring great again. CFC was dumb enough to stage in Saranen, and this has resulted them in having to go through our space to do anything, and the result is that they get fragged every time. They do strat ops and ping furiously over and over again to keep their f1 pushers on high alert, despite having seemingly nothing to kill. The Roughnecks have been decimated on their first op (thanks OSS, nice dread frags) and since then they have just died off in Syndicate. You may have noticed that SMA took sov in Cloud Ring, in FQ9W. I must say this is a significant achievement for SMA, taking useless sov and wasting their members' time while we scalp their nerds in their home region.

I know we suffered a great defeat in this battle (https://zkillboard.com/br/69481/), having lost the isk war by a total of 1.5 gorillion isk. What a shame, I know some of you have been waiting for SRP for almost 2 weeks, as we are so poor. But fear not, our coffers will be full again.

Tishu Doctrine Updates /s

New doctrines are here! We have exciting new doctrines to use. After analysing the very strange and good fits that SMA use, we will be using these new doctrines:

https://zkillboard.com/kill/52063167/ Entosis Rifters(they can't bubble use with warp core stabs)

https://zkillboard.com/kill/52052198/ Entosis Tengus(we'll put t2 hardeners tho)

With these new doctrines, we'll be able to Winet... i mean win it
