Just to reiterate; the campaign leaders from Vindicitive, Evictus AND Ferra Victrix, are now all working together in GTC.
If only the other alliances in legacy formed into another single large alliance pre war, Test wouldnt have been able to pull their fuckery so often. Also would have given them the power to pull the plug on the stagnant war, let Test collapse faster and retain SOV.
Perhaps FiRe will learn this lesson.
Thank you for the bumps to keep this thread alive 
WinterCo released two updates in the last few months addressing the numbers disparity and welcoming our brothers Siberian Squads:
Today we welcome the latest addition to winter co. Siberian Squad has been both enemy and ally throughout our history. Their infamous leader Hanzo Viper, like him or not, is considered a competent fleet commander with an equally rich experience in space pixel paper pushing. After a series of unfortunate events in the Imperium they seek a new home. While I donât argue for either side as Asher will have done what he must, I still feel inviting SBSQ will grant us objective advantage in both the war ahead and long term stability of the power balance in the game. We are escorting their fleet through neutral space right now and they will come to us with the keepstar chain shortly after.
With this rare break I devote myself to writing an EVE ping. I want to put out a few thoughts about the war for which you will no doubt l have a mixed feelings and ourselves in the long term.
The war is not ending. I myself didnât even start any personal effort. I had to abruptly leave one month in until now. The game has never seen a war like this before because it will burn very slowly but surely. Our neighbour knows we absolutely donât want them in fade/deklein. We admit we donât have the strength right now to make visible progress on map. Little will they confess GTC FC team is on their third shift now and Brave completely doesnât have any substitution for the burnt out FCs. Hostile lost 3 medium structures just this week; they havenât killed any forward deploying citadels in six months; their sole basis for claiming Noraus has yielded is that they stopped hearing from me.
Regarding ourselves, we stopped demanding warfront progress because it was obviously hurting us. The mistakes are ultimately on me. It will take another update to explain but as of todayâs event: For several years we rejected alliances who wished to join the coalition because I felt hesitant to promote winterco in all timezones as disarming the blocs was the trend.
As a consequence, EN was at a disadvantage all the time. Never again. We are going to expand in coalition numbers. We are going to be tougher but wiser on internal management. We are not going to keep dependency on a single timezone to strong arm, but sufficiently independent to accomplish any goals EU/USTZ feel like with their own might. Winterco is recruiting new member alliances from now.
Hello, Brave+GTC had an announcement that they will consolidate into fade+deklein, along with other consolidations that they did not explicitly say yet.
Their de facto coalition status has long existed for now; brave members are familiar with GTC service and FCs so thatâs nothing new. One particularly eye-opening decision is that they prioritize their holdings. Pure blind is not considered a must defend area anymore. Starfleet gave Brave Fade region in exchange for them to keep functioning, therefore ensuring the survival of his own alliances.
With the enemyâs new strategy besides a rumour of new wars coming, I think we need to reiterate our position on the current conflict. Hopefully our new members will understand since the war happened before you were here.
GTC/Volta
GTC was our neighbour for two years before the war. We managed to reach certain mutual understandings that kept our peace. The war only started because GTC was becoming a hideout of our enemies when they chose to expand. These people were joining fc teams where they muddled public opinions about us. Alongside GTC key geographic location, this was about the only risk that matters in the next few years. Fade is the most important region in the northwest. The owner of DO6H can solely dictate whatever agenda he promotes up to Branch.
Brave Collective
Sadly we carried out the military solution preemptively assuming Brave would be friendlier. That was a mistake for trusting Shattered Armor. Dunk thought it would be a shame to have their names tagged with us. Not because we did anything wrong to Brave any time in our history before, but the public opinion favoured GTC on the platform where most English speaking players are on. He cared for his feathers very much. It was merely disappointing but it went personal when on Trash Talk Tuesday Shattered talked about how they were pretending to be friendly only to get a safe passage out of Geminate. My problem with SFC is strictly all in-game, but for Brave mil command I found him unbearably despicable. They exploited the communityâs sympathy as a weapon. At least I pay mercs, instead Brave expects freebies by shouting we are classy and tiny. Now they have embraced the bloc path so I wish them the best with fantastic leadership.
Blocs
Once BTC de facto was formed months ago, there was no way to fight against their number on a regular basis. We were lucky BFL was deployed in this area and more conveniently their contents aligned with our objectives sometimes. That summarised the entire agenda if our enemy was so desperate to picture one. I canât think of any benefits for panfam to support us directly in this war. Our collaboration in Venal is under the very guidelines of our foundational NIP that Venal is a mutual backyard where we two defend collectively.
Coming next
Many strong null alliances are mobilizing so we will be on our high alert of what will come in literally a few days. This could be rather dangerous or entertaining or both. We all need to be ready.
Winter coalition
Our newest member SBSQ doubled the EUTZ fleet size. For two consecutive weeks we managed several objectives on western front. I am equally envious while cheerful that the chemicals are working out all without me. FCs are reporting our home front fleets are never more efficient. The front line sees both numbers growing and special roles filled. If you think of how hard it is to build such momentum with the established groups pressuring us, the accomplishment is simply marvellous. Itâs a group effort which I can name you a few right now but it wonât be fair for those I did not witness. Keep in mind we are not bound to one front at any time either. If Northwest provides sustainable content we will keep doing what our members like, or anywhere in the game where the opportunity is ripe. The war objective will always be enjoying our games better than our enemies do.
Since the addition of Siberian Squads to WinterCo, we have been able to kill 3 of the structures GTC planted in Branch:
However; all WC Fortizars still remain in Fade, see the above post from 2022-07-01:
Hey @BJK
I find these things interesting to read. What do I miss though is Frost on Twitch with general update on ongoings in Null.
I know Frat has a really large international population but how do you think the change in CCP, blocking China from Tranq, will impact Frat (If any because VPN exists).
Then you are on wrong part of the forum this news are basicli a joke to keep moral. They loosing small structures every week same as we mostli cause nobody care about them and dont want to ping everything to defend 2B small structure thats replaced literary next day.
They didnt kill a single fort in 6 months ⌠even the one in middle of theyr terytory.
All theyr forts are set so we can kill them since everybody sleep. So nobody care its just empty structures whit 0 strategic meaning.
Same problem is on theyr side they cant kill anything valuable since they whud have to stay up awake to like 3 -6 AM 2 times in the row.
Trust me you wont get enought people to do that more then once second time you will get half and cant take a fight so it reps.
Thats why they crambling and batphoning entire universe to fight for them. For 6 months we already see lot of groop including PAPI trying to remove us cause frat is totali inept.
Not a single ground was lost and now frat is basicli alone since nobody want to fight for them anymore.
Im mean there were good groops fighting for frat making realy good progress but frat never came to finish it and even spit on those groops who were helping them. Some of them even switched sides cause of that.
Fact is that we dont even try to remove theyr structures since they are no threat.
In mean while they scrambling theyr entire population to destroy 2B worth of Astrahuses thats reaplaced literary next day. Burning theyr people out literary for nothing just to say they did something.
Im mean HORDE did something they disrupted our entire network they killed lot of small structures. They had us runing letf and right.
And where was a frat ??? Siting on theyr buts and farming isk. So thats why they cant do any progress at all. And thats why all of theyr alies eventuali pack up and leave cause why fight for somebody who dont apreciate you and use you as cannon fother so they dont need to admit they are toothless.
That is factually incorrect. Fortizar | Reaper's Deepspace Assembly | Killmail | zKillboard
The helped us kill a fort this morning. Since it is a bad timer for BlackFlag.
But I donât understand why you chose to have verbal diarrhea in this forum thread which has been basically a none combative or in general a badly written forum thread. I find the working around from one of the null FC an interesting read, even though I shoot at them everyday. Well⌠only when we are not busy with TTT fleet.
Sure, but your intention from the start was to troll in this thread. I dunno what Frat did to you to make you this way.
But I guess it on par for most threads on these forums to devolve into dribble because people cannot contain themselves.
You cant troll on troll thread 
basic intention of the frat guy was to propaganda trollâŚ
Show me please where the truth touch you.
If you troll people you get trolled. Its simple as that.
If you write bad propaganda and post TROLL killmails of 3th party fort nobody even know about as WE KILLING YOU.
Then whos trolling lol.
Dont be salty and actuali do something ⌠im mean go and ref C4C keepstar⌠THAT WHUD BE SOMETHING!!!
Hello Winterco time for some updates.
This update was meant to respond that Drone region along with INIT decided to wipe Fire co leadership out from the south. Every leader involved held his own agenda but their common despise to XIX CEO has made it possible.We had no particular interest in the whole thing at all. Though I did reflect our stance on rental programs and our relations with the med-small alliances in the game.
Ever since we opened up alliance level recruitment the members alliance demand more area to place their pilots. As a result we cut down our rental area for the growing needs of our own members. Unlike some people who believe rental is the genuine sin of the game, our customers have been closely associated with us for years. Some players simply prefer private aloofness and are willing to pay a small amount for that. Their contribution to Winter is very less so a financial revenue. We did conclude a high unit price would very likely result in bottings. Therefore Arrow created a scheme that allows our selective renters to contribute not just with isk, hence avoid pushing them to pay beyond their reasonable capability. Valuing our relationship with these people, Arrow and I met our renter ceos last week to discuss their future. We decided we would stop inviting any new customers for the foreseeable future, relocate the long-term customers further away from the front line. Unlike other blocs who held a truly vast amount of systems our member to system ratio is about 180 pilots per system.
Regarding medium-small sized alliances, you all know I dislike some of them. I even wage a war to evict these particular people. However as much as the medium-small alliances criticise us I recognize our ecosystem will fail without them. The game needs more than nullsec paper pushing with dodgy politics. After Fire was under attack before they made the newest decision to move north against us, I offered their members one-time support to stay in the south. We pledged our unconditional support not to raise future proxies but because the south would be truly vacuum otherwise. The damage to the ecosystem in the south would take years to revive if people left. With the same principle I welcome anyone to reside in Pure Blind as long as our sov is safe from the dwellers. I care for my coalition as much as I do for the game. If my coalition is threatened because of certain entities we will evict them. Itâs not contradictory that I want them to thrive elsewhere.
Now that the situation is indeed moving fast. Within a week Fire declared they will join BTC which made this yet to be named new coalition bigger than winter co on paper. From our source Fire co is promised space in the Branch region, which they plan to take it from us.
We are no strangers to XIX, who were supporting Legacy in the Detorid war when they invaded us. After our bitter past was dissolved by time and we had repeatedly carried their cntz against imperium, it seems XIX with fireco is our enemy again. Iâve been waiting for a new world war. Delve was challenged, Drone remains geographically impossible, the only untested bloc is us. We are now witnessing the first real eviction attempt ever since 2017. Itâs been seven years and they are back.
Needless to say we have grown so much ever since, but defending against another bloc which BTC+Fire clearly is now takes much preparation with careful plans. A friend said âmay you live in interesting timesâ to me yesterday. We are indeed at a complicated crossroad where both dangers and opportunities lurk around.
You all witnessed our new found strength ON GRID with people stepping up for critical roles. We are training this EN team to continue battle hardened. There was several opportunities we missed when we hired Bigab or when BFL was around. This time when the whole game is focusing on Pure Blind again (last time was 2 weeks ago), we gonna seize the opportunity to sharpen our skills.
CNTZ will now feel the burden of sov/structure defence as what they design for. Honestly many of our old vets are resubbing for this because CN havenât had any real content after wwb2. They will rebuild the rusty muscles, we will take losses initially while we get used to war again, and finally we gonna evict whoever lives in Fade together.
Konstantine has nothing personal against us. We still turned down their request to join Winter co knowing they would go for BTC and SFC would be too scared to reject. There are many reasons behind this. Among which I can tell you is that Fire doesnât share the same values with us; their culture is quite different. Also apparently so far no small alliances have made up their minds about staying in the south. These small guys still crave no risks but a shepherd. We will prove Konstaintineâs decision wrong as we will break his new lord and send his alliance on exodus again.
There are at least two things we will adjust in response to the threats. The healthy flow of our doctrine markets and doctrine fitting improvements. We will not add new ships any time soon but some fittings are waiting for upgrades. I anticipate we will run through doctrine ships very rapidly so our war factories you better be running at full steam.
Over the last few days, BTC have CTAâd 5 times.
The first CTA was against a Guristias Sotiyo, which they won.
The other 4 were against WinterCo; which they lost 2 and stood 2 down without contesting.
Since then, BTC have chosen to absorb FI.RE (formerly holding 9 regions themselves) into their âLast Independent Coalition In The Gameâ, and have been promised Branch.
WinterCo is days away from engaging in a full-on defensive war; our victory will allow us to watch what happens when bad leadership tries to compress 22,000 pilots into two regions.
Here you go finali after 6 months some actual win lucky one but win !!!
GOOD JOB "! Finali im can say something good about fratâŚ
hmm i didnt see fire moving north but i wouldnt take the new B2 serious unless fire reforms into BL0B or XIX. If they dont i just means they refuse to acknowledge the true meta and this is easily exploitable for victory.
In January, Siberian Squads joined WinterCo as a full member and settled in BKG-Q2 in Branch. They immediately hit the ground running by reinforcing B2âs structures in Branch and secured some solid wins.
Most of the citadels went uncontested due to our impressive forms, but there were some great fights:
2023-01-05 17:30 Flash form Strat Op
https://br.evetools.org/related/30002955/202301051900
We flash-formed Cerbs + Muninns for the GTC Azbel in 2B7A-3 and hostiles formed AB Armor HACs to come contest us. We killed their ansiblex the day before, meaning they had to travel further. Our interdictors waterboarded them the whole way - it took 20 minutes for GTC + Brave to take 6 stargates; we finished the timer and left system as they finally arrived.
As we left, they used the opportunity to anchor another Ansiblex. GTC started heading back towards Venal to defend a BOSS structure, leaving BRAVE behind to defend the newly anchoring ansiblex. After baiting them onto the Ansiblex with some small-gang ships, BRAVE bubbled themselves and we dogpiled them with 11 seconds to go:

2023-01-20 - 5-0WB9 Astrahus Contest
WinterCo upshipped to Faction Battleships to offset being outformed.
At this time, FI.RE were fighting against The Imperium and Pandemic Horde, and we heard of rumours they were looking for a new place to live. Anticipating a huge conflict in the North, WinterCo took a defensive stance by attempting to control X47L-Q. On Monday 23rd January we reinforced the ihub in X47L-Q, and on Wednesday 25th January, The Imperium showed upâŚ
2023-01-25 - X47L-Q Ihub
Battle Report Tool
Local scan, 1209 pilots in system
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/477808927573147648/1067983303317147759/image.png
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1061925175181971487/1067948996678647808/image.pngWe used the momentum of beating B2 at several CTAâs and the turn of the Lunar New Year to contest an iHub from V0LTA in Pure Blind.
The first engagement happened in X47 off the KQK gate; 3 nodes spawned in the system behind, so hostiles made an attempt to prevent our two Eagle fleets from getting past them. A CN Nightmare fleet bridged directly into the system with the most nodes and pushed all the hostile node runners off, and started claming those for themselves; then bridged directly into the fight to give more support. With some cheeky maneuvering to seperate the two fleets, this 1.5h engagement saw us win the first 3 nodes.
As they were losing, B2 summed The Imperium to come help; with Goonswarm bringing 150 Cormorants and INIT bringing 100 Kikimoras. The only way to secure nodes at this stage was to use Entosis FAX and keep the B2 fleets entertained - which became much easier after escalating dreads onto their FAX.
After FI.RE were evicted from the South-East by Pandemic Horde and The Imperium, they took refuge in a V0LTA keepstar to rebuild. They were not allowed to anchor any structures or claim any sovreignty of their own; if they want sov, they have to take Branch.
Over the next few weeks, FI.RE made a couple of attempts to mass-entosis against us (Denied: Battle Report Tool), but the rest has mostly been a tug of war as both sides were evenly matched and unable to make progress against their respective enemies, but some notable fights broke out:
2023-02-05 10:00 - Fade Fortizars
B2 had been calling daily Strat Ops / CTAs to reinforce our Fortizars in Fade. We accidentlaly let this one get into hull due to arriving late under cyno jammers - so decided to brawl it out on the final.
2023-02-06 02:00 - Tribute Brawl
The daily roams from FI.RE hit a pinnacle here, as they tried to bait us into engaging their Nightmares with an Eagle fleet on standby. We knew what was coming and got them to engage too soon, giving us the opportunity to swing back and fight them.
2023-02-06 14:00 - More Fade Fortizar Defence
We formed to save a Fortizar, but hostiles tried to flee as soon as we entered system. Disappointed; we camped their staging keepstar for an hour and reinforced their ansiblexes while they watched on.
2023-02-16 10:00 - F-NMX6 Fortizar, ft The Imperium
We turkey-shoot their fleet while they busy grinding down the structure, 3 hostile fleets mwding around the fortizar with only one target in mind. After downtime CN internet patching in pretty slowly so we couldnât take the fight again.
Eventually it takes another goon fleet to help them, kudos to their dedication.
However in order to get rid of my structure spam in their home space, they need to keep trying.
Rip our old fort, we immediately anchored another as Goonswarm left grid.
2023-02-23 17:00 - AHACs vs Eagles
We formed for a Banderlogs Astrahus in DP-1YE - with the chance of using AHACs + FAX. We knew the Astra was Neut + Anti-Cap so we wanted to pull the fight as far off as possible, so when hostiles cynoâd in 2,000km beneath the structure - we made a very quick decision to take the fight at that range.
Our fleets warped across to their in cyno and we scrammed each of their anchors. Hostiles were supposed to buy a little bit of time for their allies to arrive - but our allies arrived sooner with a Nightmare fleet too. Ultimately, we ended up fighting 300 vs 150, then 300 vs 150 by splitting them on grid, then returning to kill the Astrahus.
As they were unable to extract, 100+ pilots safe-logged inside the Astrahus to wait for us to leave. We capitalized on this by attempting to follow up on other timers across Fade, giving them max fatigue before we went home. Gf all!
We had one final important strategic objective to achieve; control the final ihub in the X47L-Q constellation. Previously, The Imperium attended our offensive ihub timers with casual Cormorants and Kikimoras. This time, they showed a much bigger interestâŚ
2023-03-01 19:00 - O-BY0Y IHUB
3,200 pilots attended this 3-hour fight, but by jamming the majority of the constellation, setting up good ansiblex routes and committing caps, we managed to secure the objective.
This was the last opportunity we would get before The Imperium made their formal move.
But we tracked the following numbers on their CTA in EUTZ:
DO6H-Q: Local scan, 1760 pilots in system (1760)
C4C-Z4: Local scan, 464 pilots in system (464)A few days prior to this, I had the honour of joining Pandoâs FC chat alongside Securitas Protector of BFL: Twitch
Nautrally, we moved our deathclone stager to UMI-KK as well:
The next few weeks would show B2 finding the courage to hit our 9-month old Fortizars in Fade, and the Keepstars in NPC Pure Blind, plus the one dropped by a solo PvPer in F-NMX6. But thereâs two big notable things happening:
Our keepstar got reinforced 12 times in total:
2023-03-10 20:29
2023-03-13 20:37
2023-03-15 20:33
2023-03-17 18:32
2023-03-20 18:57
2023-03-22 19:00

2023-03-27 19:32
2023-03-29 19:24
2023-04-01 17:34
2023-04-03 18:42
2023-04-05 18:38
Mostly the armor timers went uncontested, however 1T isk of Imperium Losses later, it eventually died:
2023-03-12 - X47 Armor Timer Slam-Dunk - 85b Lost vs 355b Killed
This landslide victory saw us saving the Keepstar timer by 10:25 EVE Time, but with rage-logins after downtime. Hostiles had put themselves in extremely bad positions, so by the time pilots were trying to log back in, we were able to siege-green with capitals and essentially free-fire on slow moving Battleships. Screenshot from the gunners PoV:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1081976339688603728/1084421825896927363/image.pngHostile fleet commanders had so little control on the grid, they made the call to âlog offâ, and instead, tried to ping extraction fleets over the next 48 hours. This resulted in people getting bored & frustrated logging in early, and we were able to comfortably kill more hostiles around the clock.
2023-03-26 - FLASHFORM X47L-Q iHub Entosis:
Around 14:00, hostile spotted we left system of X47L unjammed; so rageformed Battleship, Caps + FAX and tried to entosis our iHub, We flash-formed and outformed our hostiles by quite a bit, and our Harpy fleet was killing all their bubblers so we had a clear warp-in towards them. They decided to extract and left their entosis Fax to die.
Around 18:30, we pinged Harpies to finish off a couple of Athanors we reinforced earlier in the week.
At 19:15, we formed for the ihub in Querious; but hostiles already had 240 people in system compared to our 100. I felt it would be rude not to show up at all with such an audience; so we switched into Harpies and just kited around and tried to get some kills.
At 00:20, we formed Harpies to kill another Imperium Athanor.
At 01:20, we re-formed Harpies to kill the final Athanor of the night, but we saw B3 + Goons forming to create some shield timers against us. We switched to AHACs and dropped/killed the isolated Goonswarm fleet, then reshipped to Harpies and pushed B3 off our ansiblexes and out of Branch - and Horde finished off another Athanor.
2023-04-07 - X47 Final Armor Timer - 479b Lost vs 546b Killed
What a majestic ending of our keepstar. We were always going to lose this X47 keepstar because the amount of hostiles swore to grind it down, however I could not ask for a better finale fight than today. We were butchering through them so fast but the system was still stuck at heavy tidi. In the end it was on who can call for more reinforcements. With nearly 12 hours fight plus another 12 hours of preplanning, I can see our fleet efficiency wonât increase over time anymore so I decided to call it. Itâs amazing we didnât hand it over, we defended well but they simply had too many.
glad we had this slugfest together, would do again.
Structures can be redeployed.
Ships can be replaced.
Our capsuleers time is invaluable; and finding something to do will always be our priority.
I was transparent from the start that there will be fights we can and cannot take. Fortunately, there are so many people shooting at us now (Goonswarm, INIT, Dracarys, XIX, BRAVE, IGC, Sigma, Synergy, SHADO, Banderlogs) that we have SUCH a target rich environment. Now, BL0B + SOME BRAVE structures are covered by living in range of The Imperium. And XIX donât actually own anything, so I guess theyâre exempt from this strategy. But SIGMA, SHADO, DRACARYS and IGC (and even Goonswarm corp-rented structures) are all in the crosshairs whilst their deathclones are up here in Fade.
Just like when we fought the âFreemen of the Northâ for this space before, our objective is to split the hostiles into smaller groups and punish their income stream individually.
We have divided our pilots into several mini deployment-zones and are taking great pleasure steamrolling particular areas:
BR: 2023-03-24 01:00 - Battle Report Tool
AARs - 2023-03-27Whilst B3 + Imperium created initial timers against our keepstars again, we killed 7 GSF Structures (including one in Delve!!) and created even more timers against them - and Pandemic Horde landed a PIPEBOMB WITH BLOPS BATTLESHIPS :PogChamp:
The next few weeks will be interesting for WinterCo.
Will we see more action in Branch, or Pure Blind?
CNTZ will be playing Defensive
EUTZ will be playing Offensive
USTZ will be playing both - this has been a true tug-of-war.
Goonswarm created 3x Keepstar Armor Defense timers against us for 15th April, but neither they or B2 turned up to defend them. So, using the asymetric warfare I promised the team, we took a trip to Goonswarm space and returned the favour, killing two of their structures, one of their fleets, after a brief detour to kill a B2 Retribution Fleet.
We reinforced 2x GTC Ansiblex during the day, and they responded with a Retribution Fleet (which we annihilated) and The Imperium responded with a 100-pilot Hurricane Fleet (who we could only kill stragglers)
We travelled to Khanid via Drifter WH and killed a GSF Astrahus
We went to Delve to contest one of their Athanors; they responded with a Ferox fleet. We started by killing stragglers then trying to kite. Unfortunately they had Tracking Computers fitted, so we werenât able to maintain the regular Harpy range without getting hit pretty hard. So instead, we let them chase us and killed those left behind.
We went back to Delve to contest another Athanor; this time they responded with Cormorants. It was an absolute slaughter. They had 60 Cormorants vs our 30 Harpies, so we had to thin them out first by trapping them on gates and kiting at the EDGE of our range, warping in and killing 2-3 each time. Once we thinned them out enough, we committed close range and wiped them out, then killed the Athanor, then killed their second fleet. (edited)
(165) WinterCo + NC vs B2 (232)
Based on recent aggressive patterns, we figured that The Imperium would attempt to reinforce our two Keepstars in Venal whilst B2 tried a parallel attack on our Branch Keepstar.
Myself, Hanzo Viper and Mystical Might prepared a fleet to stop B2.
We bridged Muninns onto a Fortzar on grid with our keepstar so our cyno would live for as long as possible. We warped across to the Keepstar at a large range of the enemy fleet, but they were much faster as they had links whilst we did not want to de-tether yet.
Using structure mechanics; we pulled the hostile fleet behind our physical structure so we could dock & undock, giving us the range advantage and bumping the hostiles out of position. For the next 30 minutes, we outmaneuvered them and pull their fire away from the keepstar allowing it to repair twice, before ultimately getting reinforced by The Imperium.
On Monday 26th June 2023, xDECOYx left Fraternity. This has been an incredible opportunity to grow our corporation; but I believe our ambition and skillset has pushed the boundaries of what WinterCo can offer.
At the beginning of this thread, I linked a battlereport with ~50 pilots turning up to a CTA to take space. (Battle Report Tool)
Since then, there have been several fleets where WCEN has required an overflow fleet: (Battle Report Tool + Battle Report Tool)
xDECOYx is now in its own alliance, DECOY. We are consolidating in Curse, then pushing outwards to take sovreignty.
Fly safe WinterCo; hope you enjoyed the adventures and I wish you all the best.
Proud Moment - Featuring in the Scope video:
In our first 2 months, we have made a comfortable nest in a mission-running pocket of Curse where weâve been able to harvest enough local resources to equip ourselves against the former inhabitants:
We now have the following:
We have done a good job so far establishing ourselves brawling up against the locals. However, as of Saturday 19th August 2023, we will begin taking sovereignty for ourselves which will inevitably antagonise everybody already fighting over Scalding Pass.
can you please stop shooting the one or two POCOs my corp left behind in G-0? (joking ;))
fly unsafe and have fun!
Wyk
Vanishing Point
Init
Heehee, sorry 
Hope youâre doing good bud!
Looking forward to seeing how things go striking out on your own, looks like a blast so far, hope youâre all enjoying it, that mach brawl looked like a hoot
Iâve noticed you guys around curse while Iâve been trying to fix standings on my alts. Really cool to see an alliance flying around in frigates. I wish more groups flew smaller hulls.
I do feel like I need a change.
@BJK How selective are you guys in getting more people?
