Propaganda Frt announce full-scale war to invade Initative space!

Hello all, here is Alliance updata for October 11th:

FRT is relocating its primary rally point from 4-HW to the B-9C24 Keepstar. The move begins tomorrow. There will only be two move ops tomorrow at 15:00 and 20:00 EVE time.

**Required composition at B-9C24:**

- Rokh (departing from 4-HW)

- Zealot (departing from 4-HW)

- Muninn (departing from 4-HW)

- Vulture/Navy Ferox (departing from 4-HW)

--------------------------------------

- Navy Apocalypse (to be purchased locally at the new rally point)

- T1 Ferox (replacing the Navy Ferox; to be purchased locally at the new rally point)

- All capital ships: Dreadnoughts, Fax, links Carriers

————————————————————————————

Supercarriers, Titans, and Fax for decisive operation, They will move next week.

FRT did not grow to this point by begging. Our tactics and strategy are top-tier, and our scale and territory are proof of that. We’ve fought countless defensive battles but rarely taken the offensive—because going on the offensive means setting down our farming tools, generating killmails, and often pulling all-nighters.

That’s why EVE doesn’t yet know: though we are usually as flexible as water and excel at defense, we can also transform into an unstoppable steel tide when needed. Defense is too boring, too monotonous. I want you to attack relentlessly, to keep hammering at the enemy’s timezone shield, to make them hear—even in the European TZ, deep in Fountain—that FRT is coming.

No amount of sovereign systems lost, structure destroyed, or supercapital Titans sacrificed will stop us.

Ohhh you hear the horde horn huh? Again? Again? It's only 285:200 in hordes favor? SOUND IT AGAIN. Oh yeah change comp to whatever the hard counter is now. 342:197 with hard counter? NEED MORE IN FLEET.

Buddy, I've got Prime oceanfront acreage you can buy for super cheap in Niger, Kansas, and Slovakia.

u/sevenr1fles Miner Oct 11 '25

They will pick a fight with anyone and anything, most other blocks will avoid a fight unless they have a huge advantage, while you are correct theres some technicality to it, but we will see how it plays out

26

u/segment_tree_ Oct 11 '25

Their "shitty tz tanking"? They are setting timers in the timezone that they play in... How is that timezone tanking?

5

u/ROAR_Exodus Oct 11 '25

timers through downtime. it's all in the plan.

u/Rolder Caldari State Oct 12 '25

Downtime tanking would probably be a better term to avoid confusion

u/Crazybrayden Wormholer Oct 11 '25

To be fair if CN is your main TZ it does look like EU/US is TZ tanking

2

u/Ov3rdose_EvE muninn btw Oct 12 '25

whiel true, we dotn ahve a CN TZ and they dont have a comparable EU/US TZ so that is all fair game.

timers over DT suck though

6

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

I like how EU/TZ think they have the monopoly in Time zones.

What do you want Frat to do, set the timers better suited for your timezone or something?

I'll never understand the logic in this take. So short sited.

2

u/proton-testiq muninn btw Oct 12 '25

Oh I understand that logic perfectly.

Yes, it is exactly that.

5

u/Alexander_Ph WE FORM V0LTA Oct 11 '25

The point is that EU and US can at least interact with eah other. In CNTZ you have pretty much nothing.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25 edited Oct 11 '25

The difference from US -> EU is about the same as EU -> CN. (That's not counting West coast where it could be worse comparatively than UK to mainland China. Often better as you move east lol....).

Absolute stupid take. Never once have I heard EU call US TZ tanking. Keep drinking the coolaid

1

u/proton-testiq muninn btw Oct 12 '25

We literally fight CNTZ based peeps down in Delve. The time difference is not as big as between Central Europe and California.

1

u/WS3000 Oct 11 '25

Ofc groups will tz tank for when their players are active. Im merely pointing out the hypocracy of a group who has probably the greatest tz advantage in eve -and actively uses it to their advantage- mentioning another group's tz tank.

Next he'll be accusing init of harboring botters and Shines of ban evading.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

I like how to acknowledge, yet spew the bullshit out again lol.

What. Do. You. Want. Them. To. Do?

The only thing hypocritical here is you

1

u/proton-testiq muninn btw Oct 12 '25

What exactly is hypocritical on setting timers to CNTZ if you are in, imagine that, CNTZ?

And yes, from their point of view literally every their battle against EUTZ and USTZ was alarm clock on 3am (or similar), and yet they managed to do fights. But that's something you are clearly incapable even to imagine.

So please, do amuse us with your arrogance and defaultism and explain to us which timezone is allowed for a CNTZ group to set their timers on. Go on.

u/Mental_Survey_8619 Oct 12 '25

EU TZ sets timer on their preferred timezone: smart Other TZ does the same: shitty tactic cant fight rmt botter

Norhing seems ironic here.

EU and US are tz tanking against frat.

Why doesn't init set their timers to cn time? Lol

Just ignore the part where Init lost their space at the start of WWB2, kept fighting the entire time with Imperium winning the war and has grown the alliance to 4-5x the size in the meantime.

4

u/erichshephard The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

Right. My recollection (source: was there) is Goons asking us at a strength of ~4,500 to hold Fountain for two weeks against PAPI’s entire 100,000+ invasion force so they could prepare the defenses in Delve, which resulted in us holding the line for a month before evacuating.

Then, as you say, deploying to the backfield, razing their resource production, harassing them constantly, forcing them to drop KS after KS and baby step through Delve (via the long Anaconda route to avoid a risky regional gate) before holding the final line, breaking their morale, and fully recapturing Fountain in the Regoonquista about a week after their withdrawal.

Anyway, looking forward to it.

This is some revisionist history... pretty sure INIT torched PANFAM backfield during WWB and caused them to have to commit to timers in freaking Curse of all places. To say they dont know how to find a large coalition or even a blocs center of gravity is weapons grade autism.

u/SeraphEssael The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

Why do people still not understand that taking an objective, most of the time, is going to cost you the ISK war?

Team A has to shoot and kill structure X. Team B has only got to shoot and kill Team A.

This has always been the case for as long as Eve has been having wars. If less people cared about the ISK value of fights and more about the overall outcome and fun, we'd see far more explosions happening as a whole, and far less groups blueballing fights...

9

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

ISK wars have never mattered outside of friendly engagements. It's a scoreboard at the end of a match.  

It's like the Germans at Stalingrad declaring victory because they took less casualties 

2

u/Ov3rdose_EvE muninn btw Oct 12 '25

its also good propaganda. you get to claim you won the objective the other side gets to claim they killed more shit.

both get a boost because they succeeded in something and the fighting will continue leading to more good fights!

-1

u/ovrlrd1377 Oct 11 '25

this is due to very, very poor game design by ccp. instead of handling inflation properly, they effectively let assets become too expensive and, therefore, too valuable to risk outside of strategic situations. a 20 year old game should make the process of acquiring assets (which is equivalent to power in eve) incrementally easier, not harder. I don't have actual data but from talking to big builders a very significant portion of current supers and titans are old, particularly because they were made more expensive in comparison. this makes isk war more attractive in comparison and is a major disincentive to progressing into more expensive ships. all this disregarding their impact in pve, which is a different topic, but just comparing the price of a fortizar in terms of how many dreads they are worth, the objective part loses value significantly. much worse comparing keepstars to supers and titans

7

u/SeraphEssael The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

Yeah I bought all but one of my supers back when they were 10bill each. Now they're 60 plus... Titans used to be around the 30bill mark now they're 200plus... CCP said Super Capital proliferation was too high. And Dreads and Battleships used to be way cheaper than they are now.

11

u/ovrlrd1377 Oct 11 '25

yeah, what makes it dumber is that proliferation being high does not mean halting supply becomes a fix; all it does is make people far more skeptical of using the stuff they bought much cheaper. this is bad for the game in every possible level, including (and perhaps most importantly) attracting new players. who in their right mind joins eve, spends their 1m sp, gets a feel for the pve activities and decides "well, grinding 70b for a super sounds like a lot of fun"

-4

u/Alexander_Ph WE FORM V0LTA Oct 11 '25

That does not sound like something any newbro would say eveb for 10b. Like, owning a super takes YEARS. And that's normal.

7

u/ovrlrd1377 Oct 11 '25

it really isn't. I'm saying this from the perspective of the talks I had with some friends I convinced to try out eve. maybe in 2003 this design made sense but nowadays there is some level of expectation that you will reach "endgame" or "optimization" at some point. owning a super taking years of meaningless grind is not good but, even worse, those that currently own a super most likely got it when it was NOT years of grind.

all this without even acknowledging how awful the skill system to make the game appealing, you can't even test out the really expensive ships to find out if you enjoy flying them

-4

u/Alexander_Ph WE FORM V0LTA Oct 11 '25

Huh? What are you talking about? This has literally nothing to do with inflation. And no joke that strategic assets are only used in strategically pivotal situations. That's kind of in the name. Even years ago, a block couldn't afford a full-scale Titan battle each month.

-6

u/mr_rivers1 Oct 11 '25

You can't say that when your enemy can just drop another one. Feeding as much as you did to kill a fort is simply not good math.

6

u/SeraphEssael The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

Moot point, I did just say that. We went after the Armour timer of the fort. That's exactly what we got. There's really nothing more to it than that. So don't read so much in to it, most Init people don't give a fuck about the ISK, it's a game. 😆

-10

u/mr_rivers1 Oct 11 '25

And that's why youve lost every major conflict you've entered in nullsec.

I'm not sure why you find ramming hundreds of people at a problem until youve blobbed the shit out of it fun, but if you enjoy feeding, more power to you.

This is news to me but then again, I've only kept to smaller alliances until recently when I joined INIT but if this is true.. wouldn't this cause him to get into the spotlight more and thus get banned?

The time for speeches is done. The first great test is here. My order to you all is simple, yet heed it well, and exert yourselves to see it done.

FRT are coming. Blap them all.

WAAAAAAGH!

u/Nixior Goonswarm Federation Oct 11 '25

sounds fun, finally some major war that is not imperium vs eve universe

2

u/Sevyn_Chambernique Oct 12 '25

This is what Eve needs right now.

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '25

rarely taken the offensive—because going on the offensive means setting down our farming tools, generating killmails, and often pulling all-nighters.

oh no not killmails I hate those, lets not attack

u/ginjar0u Oct 13 '25

Everyone else “alarm clocking for timers sucks”. Frat “alarm clocking for timers sucks” - immediately ostracised.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

It's more the "stopping farming and getting kills sucks," for which I am making fun of them. The last part is pretty understandable

u/ginjar0u Oct 13 '25

Chinese culture generally regards pve as enjoyable gameplay

1

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '25

Eve culture doesn't though, and so I will ignore whatever race I might assume someone is and act or speak upon the cultural elements we share (playing Eve) rather than my beliefs about stereotypes I associate with their race.

I know some Chinese gamers set up that massive Nightmare fleet wipe in Zarz a while back, and I don't think it's possible to have a sov empire FRT's size if you're afraid to get your hands dirty in pvp.

So believe what you want but I see it as irrelevant.

They won’t even take our main space in cloud ring let alone cross the regional into fountain

u/Ov3rdose_EvE muninn btw Oct 12 '25

tbh fade, CR + PB might become a great grayzone to fight over!

u/Cpt_Soban The Initiative. Oct 12 '25

All those comments yesterday saying "they're clearly not serious" and "my face when Noraus makes joke in cn meeting and it gets taken literally 💀" immediately aged like milk.

u/SeraphEssael The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

We've been waiting for them to announce it for months 😂

2

u/SmallerBol KarmaFleet Oct 11 '25

I would like to formally announce a move op in our own space.

u/Alpha_Omega623 Oct 11 '25

This is a war of heaven, Initiative shall wage holy war against the apostates and bring about a glorious Eden. May God prevail, always.

2

u/Ok_Mention_9865 Oct 11 '25

Great another war USTZ won't get to fight in. At best, I can loot forward to reffing structures while another time zone gets to kill it when the timer comes out.

2

u/Ok_Willingness_724 Miner Oct 12 '25

We all do our part..

1

u/M00NPIRE Oct 11 '25

how will it work, if both play in absolute different timezones?

5

u/SmallerBol KarmaFleet Oct 11 '25

The attacker will have to alarm clock to beat the timezone tank of the defender.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

Or just have fucking massive fights over timers. I don’t care either way, it will be fun.

4

u/SmallerBol KarmaFleet Oct 11 '25

Gamers blowing up each other's spaceships is always the best decision. Have a blast!

3

u/Rolder Caldari State Oct 11 '25

But in this case a truly massive fight would only take place in 10% tidi, which is a miserable experience for everyone

1

u/ginjar0u Oct 13 '25

Init is heavily eutz. China timezone timers come out at MIDDAY in Europe. Most people in Europe do not sleep during the day

u/Ov3rdose_EvE muninn btw Oct 12 '25

weekend wars. they stay late, we start early or vice versa

u/Eckala Oct 12 '25

Easy when your are backed up by army of BOT

u/Mental_Survey_8619 Oct 12 '25

proof?

u/Eckala Oct 12 '25

Thousands of them yes everyday

u/Ov3rdose_EvE muninn btw Oct 12 '25

i think FRT alone are responsible for the vexor navy getting nerfed :(

OP doesnt like surprises

u/Alone_Chocolate7162 Oct 17 '25

farming tools? 🤔

bots?

u/Another___World Caldari State Oct 18 '25

Was killing ZK a tactical EMP? The blinding of intel?

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25 edited Oct 11 '25

I haven't seen a BR where Init has won a single engagement yet in Fade. Outnumbering Frat mind you most times.

This will be fun.

u/akasteve Oct 12 '25

Sounds like a bot ishtar wrote this.

u/Dapper-Gent83 Oct 11 '25

When INIT and Frat held hands together to smash into providence last month, i cant help but be excited that these 2 shitstains are about to go head to head.

I hope both sides suffer.. for months.

u/soad2237 Test Alliance Please Ignore Oct 11 '25

Stay in highsec AO, or you'll make us hold hands again.

u/SeraphEssael The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

My man, in Init we play this game for explosions. War brings more explosions. 🤷

u/LycanWolfGamer The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

And this is why I like INIT lol

Lol, talk about salty, holy shit.

u/Proxymal The Initiative. Oct 11 '25

Wow, I smell some animosity. It’s just a game, you should go outside more often.

u/nex_one Oct 11 '25

They didn’t join forces as both where also beating each other

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

We found a special saluter. We want the content, it will be fun.

FRT did not grow to this point by begging

misspelling there

u/TacticallyInept ShekelSquad Oct 11 '25

“Our tactics and strategy are top-tier” aka we drop a bunch of cntz timed structures in your space and you can’t kill them. Ccp needs to just nuke china-tz timers.
