Enlightened Industries! - TEST - PvP/PvE/Etc

[Chernitski]

The first time i regret joining the ILN late. If i hadn't, i'd be joining this atm.

[Lovelocke]

Just a little bump. Still recruiting, still got lots to offer, still killing lots of reds.

[Bremen Oztotl]

You just tell me when I have accumulated enough SP's and until then I will just be trolling your pub channel

[Chernitski]

I <3 this corp.

[Lovelocke]

We're getting a LOT of unistas applying at the moment. The uni makes a recruiters job very easy because of the fantastic training the uni provides. Unista's tend to get to grips with 0.0 life very quickly and generally begin to get involved from the get go. So, please keep the apps rolling in! It's also worth noting that once Xolani's corp Ponywaffe joins TEST they'll be blue to us, so you'll be able to continue flying with Xolani and other great pilots from the uni!

In other news, we've been involved in some heavy fighting this past week. The fighting became very fierce and ended up becoming news on CAOD with the loss of a Goon titan due to... well, CAOD has all the relevant details, suffice to say we're thoroughly enjoyed the PvP right now.

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that our mining and industry area was in dire need of a revamp. I'm incredibly pleased to say that several members have stepped up and begun taking charge. We now have several dedicated mining managers, with many other members helping out. Our POS's for our various industrial operations are now up and running. We have clear goals, both short term and long, and we're now moving forward in achieving those goals. We're hoping to be able to offer Drakes and Hurricanes to corp members at a low cost of 20,000,000 isk each in the coming weeks. Long term we're looking at being able to offer Maelstroms (our main pvp ship for ops) at between 50-75,000,000. Ambitious, but achievable.

[Chernitski]

We got really pretty cookies. But only members can have them.

[Jokine]

It is odd seeing people advertise on the uni board that they are Goon BFF's. Refreshing though.


Guys join this corp. Seriously. Cuz you're not getting into goons.

[Lovelocke]

After the NC fell I really didn't know how else to explain our political situation lol decided Goon BFF's was the most appropriate

And cheers. We're enjoying flying with you guys, makes a change flying with an organized fleet.

[Lovelocke]

Well the corp is still strong and recruitment has been going well. We've had a bit of a cool down in terms of fleets, concentrating recently on building up our management structure and also putting more plans into place. It's been nice having a break although I did manage to get in on some fighting with my alt last night; http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=10105850 - got approximately 73 kills myself, was an incredible fight.

When I first start playing EVE it was video's of epic battles like the above which got me hooked. I have to say as well the IRC guys are a nice bunch.

==================================

Update as of Mon Jul 11, 2011 3:56 pm

We had some exciting news for the alliance today; we have lots more shiny new systems to rat and mine in! Everyone in the corp is pretty chuffed and it's given me a chance to test out my brand spanking new tengu (which tanks havens like a dream). Things are going well in the corp, we now have an Orca, Thanatos and Moros blueprint original, researched, and so we're beginning capital production this week (which has made our miners and industrialists happy).

Some quality fighting happening at the moment. Demonization has had over 140 kills this month already! For those PvPers amongst you we've got some awesome shizzle happening!

[Lovelocke]

God we've been making a lot of isk recently lol, it's obscene. I made 1bil in 2 days; bought myself a tengu and a couple of faction mods for it.

We've also redeployed back into Deklein to help Goons repel the invasion. Lots of good fights being had right now so if you're into PvP then get into our public channel and come join in the fun.

Capital construction begins this week too. We're looking at popping out 1 Thanatos a week, Orca's and we're also working on building JF's.

[Donsig]

I'll take a Rhea (delivered to Jita) in a few weeks time. And I'l take an archon (delivered to Fountain) in about 3 months time. If possible

We're after all blue to each other now.

[Chernitski]

As we all know, the war is won. VFK defence still brings good kills up this town. I got a part in some pretty fat KMs while drunk yesterday and i regret nothing.

Been making manly money. ENL-I though is going through some real changes and we hope that they are going to take us to even better playing fields. If you want to join a good 0.0 all-rounder corp, then this is the place where to step in to.

[Lovelocke]

Just a quick recap of recent events:

We have indeed won the war so to speak in the north, with our enemies turning their attentions down south. ENL-I was involved in the defense of VFK (Goon staging system) and I'm proud to say many of my pilots participated in the 23/7 camping of the rape cages, as well as the scouting too.

Since then we've been working on purging Pure Blind and the surrounding regions of all enemy towers, taking sov back and restoring peace. SMA has come out of this much better off than when it went in, which only increases ENL-I's position. We have a new alliance wide capital initiative in place and the plan is to arm ourselves and ensure we're much better prepared for when the Russians decide to invade again.

ENL-I has consistently had the most participation in the majority of fleets which warms my cockles. In terms of PvP we're doing really well, and now we're in a relaxed state we can begin working on training up new FC's and going on small gang roams again. Industry wise our mining ops are underway again and we've really worked hard on improving our industrial side this last few weeks. We have a new director of industry as well as a new mining manager and they're really shaking things up. We're about to begin production on a Rhea, as well as Thanatos' and Moros'.

We finished July on a high, with over 500 kills and this included 2 supercaps (our first SC kills). We've been bringing in more and more PvP'ers and so the prospect of smaller gang roams with just our corp is looking pretty decent. We also have quite a lot of capitals with more incoming too.

And so to finish; we're still going strong, we still have lots to shoot and mine, and we're still recruiting. We're still bringing in lots of unistas so there's plenty of familiar faces here for you to see. Join our public channel ENL-I and speak to a recruitment officer today!

Weekly Update: 9th August 2011 - 19 August 2011

Intro

I thought I would design a new format for our weekly updates on the work fair forums, let me know what you think!

The corp is very strong right now. We had a few bad apples in the corp, a few moaning Myrtles, but these have left. Since their departure everyone is a lot happier and we're getting a lot more people logging on. We have an average now of 20 people online for most of the day. We have low spots, such as directly before and after downtime, as well as at times in the day such as UK dinner time etc, but generally we have 20-25 people online. This means that at any point during the day there is somebody online to rat with, to mine with, to shoot people with, but more importantly there are lots of people to talk with.

I'm going to break our different areas down into separate sub-sections which makes it easier to gather the relevant information together. I hope you like our new layout. I'm also working on a more up-to-date corp description too. As always if you have any inquiries about joining or you just want to kick back and relax with us then come visit our public channel ENL-I.


PvP

This month, and this past week in particular, has been fantastic for ENL-I. We're already over 500 kills for the month and we have almost 2 weeks left to go! We have 3 people over 100 kills, with others on target to get over, making this our best month ever for PvP. To give context to these kills; we've basically taken on a new fleet doctrine from Goons, called Welp fleet (AC Hurricane with 2 neuts), originally designed as a counter-measure to supercap hotdrops. The idea here is that they're cheap to replace and 200 hurricanes neuting = a supercap with no hardeners and easier to kill. This new doctrine however has been unbelievably successful in all kinds of situations, and because it's so cheap we are more likely to engage than run away because if we all die, well... cheap to replace!

So this month we've had a lot of excitement. We very nearly killed a PL titan right under their noses, but it got away. We've had a few scraps with Intrepid Crossing. We even went down to Delve to have a fight with Morsus Mihi - I podded ex-unista Zeroniss, which was very satisfying. We've had a few skirmishes with Pandemic Legion, killed a few more of their carriers (and a large portion of their hellcat fleet). We've also helped out massively with the cleanup of Fade and Pure Blind, hitting towers, taking back sov etc. ENL-I consistently has fantastic participation levels.

Also, on top of all this, we've finally begun our corp roams again. Our new Ghost fleet FC (remaining anonymous) took out a fleet of bombers up to Tribute to disrupt operations for the renters up there. We all had fun, and on our way home decided to suicide on a tengu. I also managed to pod two corpmates... by "accident"... Was hillarious. We also have a new Fleet Admiral, Rasrahl, and he has already started FC'ing for the entire alliance!


Mining

Mining ops have finally started!!! Our "industrial" corporation is finally getting back to some industry!! We're working on getting our pocket fully upgraded right now, as well as getting a new station. Corp ORE buyback scheme is in full effect with respectable prices being paid. I also have my own Rorqual now, as well as my own carrier, and I've been helping people to move mining ships and other assets about.


Industry

Pos's have been bought, moons have been scouted and we're about to begin placement. Once this has been completed we're going to begin with capital production, concentrating primarily on building the individual capital parts and getting a nice stockpile of them. We'll then be working with the alliance on building carriers, dreads, and getting our pilots armed.


PvE

Ratting is such a nice way to earn isk, and having several regions to rat in makes it a lot easier to find nice plexes. This week we've had several implants drop, ranging from 500mil to 1.2bil. I personally have raked in the isk, earning a few bil (which sadly has mostly been paid out for expensive skillbooks). There is always somebody ratting to team up with, and because we have so many carriers in the corp we can usually assign fighters to you to make ratting easier. Hell, I can finish a Sanctum in just over 20 minutes, usually earning 22-25mil bounties per 20 minute. Add into this the occasional faction drop and you can be earning a lot!



Well that's all for another week. Stay tuned for more juicy updates!

[Lovelocke]

This will be a fairly small update.

Basically, we're now in TEST Friends Please Ignore, the probationary alliance for TEST Alliance Please Ignore. We're now based in Fountain (with some sexy systems to rat and mine in) and fighting in Delve.
