We have a new home in Orvolle, which is next to two different 0.0 regions; Pure Blind and Syndicate. Many folks are still moving ships and fittings, but soon we will be together in full force. Over the past three weeks, we've been practicing small gangs on the test server, going over tactics, and working on our setups. It's been quite some time since I've PVP'd on a daily basis, and to be completely honest, I've very excited about the next few months.
I've also upgraded my Ferox to a Nighhawk (finally). I have spent much of my time working on battleship skills, that I neglected my spaceship command training until very recently. I've retired the Hookbill, the Thorax, and the Ferox. My favorite ship is still the classic Mega.

So there has been a lot going on over the past couple of months. Smash had some severe problems internally a while back and the affects of certain incidents are still greatly felt in the NYIT Gangstaz corporation. People were accusing Peoke of stealing money from alliance donations and using the alliance funds to build his new Aeon mothership instead of putting them towards outpost upgrades.
At that point, NYIT pvp was as good as ever. We had corp pvp ops going at least every other day. We ran dozens of successful pvp ops in 87-, Geminate, and the surrounding regions. All was well at that time. Shortly after that, Rhetoricus (our corp fc at the time) left to form his own mercenary corp, thanks to the Peoke situation our members had partially started. Nearly every pvper in NYIT joined him and left us with about 170 carebears, spies, isk farmers, and a CEO that had gone AWOL for the next two months, only to log in and ask myself for a 200 million isk donation so he could purchase a new battleship.
I put in my two weeks notice a few days ago and will be out of corp before Friday, the 28th of December. The last six or seven attempts at planning a corp pvp op have gone south. It seems every time I look at corp chat, it's always about mining this; mining that. Whenever someone talks about combat, it's all talk and the odds of it actually being true are slim to none. Honestly, I'm no longer proud to be in NYIT and I've been looking at my employment options. It's rather funny because the moment I finalized my decision was Friday at 1601 GMT when our co-CEO thearrowofapollo didn't even show up for his own pvp op.
I also wanted to make clear that NYIT can keep the 2.3 billion isk I've donated over the past four months. It's time to move on. Take care guys. I hope you get your pvp up to par. If that happens, I might make a return in the future.
