Last night, I finally managed to join a new corporation. I’m now a member of the Skies Tis Moiras Corporation, who have just recently become a member of the Xenotech Celestial Coalition.
Anyway, while transporting a couple ships to my new home-system (Warouh), I came across a huge amount of CONCORD ships flying around the Kaaputanen stargate in Niarja. I’d never seen so many ships in one place, let alone CONCORD ones. There must have been at least 60 of them, just sitting there doing whatever it was they were doing. There must have been a hell of a fight there for that many to turn up, the most I’d seen turn up at one time was about 10.
On a side note, I’ve been reading some of the news on the EVE site and it seems that tensions between the four empires are getting worse. Recently the Gallente Federation Navy and the Minmatar Republic Fleet begun a joint military exercise in Metropolis. Even though the Federation Senate and the Republic Parliament delayed the military exercise by a few days, they still went ahead. Much to the aggravation of the Caldari State and the Amarr Empire.
A spokesman for the Caldari Navy said “It’s bad enough that they feel the need to rattle sabres. It’s alarming that they have the audacity to do it on the border of the State, but most of all, it’s disgusting that they feel they are able to conduct this exercise so soon after the atrocity at Malkalen.”
Personally, I can’t wait to see how this plays out while we’re waiting for the Empyrean Age release.
Fly Safe.

Likely a suicide gank. The more ships involved the more concord turn up.

As someone in my corp said, after they drove by this huge camp…holy crap someone must have been REALLY bad. Nice pics !

Actually, it seemed like either a freighter or a faction battleship got suicide ganked, Tri-style. I’ve run into concord blobs like this; very common in Caldari space. Nevertheless, I wish CCP would do something like that for the new factional warfare…

Alan: Possibly. I wasn’t aware that that was the case. I assumed there was a cap on the number of CONCORD shops that turned up, maybe 10-15.
Manasi: Haha yeah. I think I may have been going through Niarja at the same time as your corp mate, someone said more or less the same thing while I was there.
Bri: Definitely, especially after the latest teaser trailer. I can imagine there being a CONCORD gatecamp, waiting for a possibly hostile fleet to come through the gate.

Think I went past that to lol
But it was 3 days ago… so unless the camp was there for about 10 days wtf? lol

Hehe maybe it’s a big suicide ganking system? Just guessing, I’ve only been there once.
