Once More into the Breach
So looks like the Jack Miton clan is homeless again :(
Unfortunately, Rolled Out is in the final stages of shutting down for good and I find myself once more with assets scattered across EVE and apps pending approval on all my toons to my alt corp.
Without getting long winded, the basic story with Rolled Out is that the US time zone guys were largely ex nullsec players and most of them decided to head back to nullsec a few weeks ago.
This lead to a sharp decline in our US time zone activities and we basically became an AU time zone only corp.
Honestly, the reduction in numbers was perfectly fine by me since I prefer flying in small gangs and doing things with low numbers. However, many of the remaining members were not interested in being a small WH corp and the bleed to other larger corps continued until the call was made to fully disband and move on.
I considered briefly leaving my assets in the Rolled Out hole and using it as my own personal base of operations but given it is a C5>C5 Magnetar, it is premium real estate and it would be highly likely someone would come and claim it so I moved out my cap fleet and dumped my assets wherever our chain opened in highsec.
The decision of where to go next is now needing to be answered and I basically have three options; stay solo for now, join a large corp, join a small corp.
Working solo is something I am fine doing but empty comms get lonely and having a few friends around to help out doesn't hurt so I'm setting that option aside for now.
So what about joining a large corp?
I'm well known, have good pilots, I'm sure I could find large corps that would have me which leaves the question, do I want to be in a large wormhole corp?
SKY/ROLO were my return to large corp life and while I did enjoy the company, had some great people in both corps, I must admit that the 'high end' WH life style no longer appeals to me like it once used to.
I don't like flying in blobby fleets at all and any 'Joint' op, which seems to be most of them in C5/6 space now, is an automatic pass for me these days.
So I fine that the answer here is no, I do not want to be in any large WH corp. Unfortunately C5/6 space has become the exact political playground that people used to flock to WHs from NS to avoid and I want no part in it. At least for now.
So that leaves me with a return to small corp life and when Bronya announced he was reforming SUSU, I couldn't be happier.
SUSU was one of the most fun groups I have ever flown with in my first stay there and if the second iteration is anything close to similar, I have high hopes for the times ahead.
I'll be re-joining SUSU once I finish sorting out my assets after the move out of ROLO and look forward to it.
I wish all the best to the ROLO guys and girls, they were a great bunch to fly with and I'm sure we'll meet again.
For now, I am rolling out.
Fly Fun,
JM
