Those that can do – those that can’t teach. A cheap jibe perhaps to hurl in the friendly rivalry between Red Vs Blue and Eve University – two of New Eden’s oldest institutions.
Truth is, both have always ‘done’ and now both teach. RvB now has its own thriving flight academy with 450 cadets learning the ropes of PvP and preparing for their first experience of a major war.
Red Vs Blue and Eve University hold the record for the largest ever battle in hi-sec and have high hopes that the latest battles will be even bigger.
After several changes of management and a de facto closure for two years, RvB is rebuilding around its traditional strengths of fast, affordable PvP near Jita.
Red Federation CEO Tobore appealed for RvB’s diaspora to return and help in the fight against their old foes:
“We especially need our old friends – perhaps some who may not even know that RvB has re-opened to join us in this battle – anyone who remembers our battles in the past will surely want to answer this call to arms – Red vs Blue needs YOU!”
The war with Eve University goes live on May 19th and runs until May 30th – all branches of RvB are fully open to applications. Free combat ships will be provided to many members of RvB and Academy cadets throughout.
How many wars are you guys up to now?
I have find memories of the wars where we failed to destroy the EVE UNI POS , and then succeeded the following year.
The most recent RvB v E-Uni war timer kicked in last night. Hostilities began with immediate effect from 19:00.
War fleets exchanged heavy fire. Citadels were stripped of shields. Structure timers created; funnelling inevitable, near future bloody battles.
Lone wolfs preyed on stragglers, separated from the herd.
Packs roamed respective home systems hunting mission bling. Many were fed.
Intel channels (on both sides) chattered through the night. Our USTZ guys held up through the early hours, against a very strong showing from the Uni - muttering ‘remember the Alamo’?
The Jita pipe is scouted and camped by both sides, on both sides.
Uni and RvB Structures are separated by one jump gate.
local curtains are twitching. Salvage and opportunists lie in wait.
Neutral alts and alt corps ferry war supplies in increasing quantities.
Convoys of seemingly fleeted freighters pair of into separate systems at the end of the 8 jump Jita pipe… indicating their allegiance only at the last jump.
We look forward to welcoming old vets and new bros alike.
Recruiting through all times zones Recruiting into all three corporations.
