Talking in Stations

On December 10, 2018 at 02:00 EVE time, The Initiative continued their invasion of Hard Knocks’ home in Rage system. With Fort Knocks reinforced, the defending wormhole dwellers received support from other wormhole groups. Lazerhawks and other groups broke into Rage system and awaited opportunities to unlock the “doors” to the solar system from the inside. Ninety minutes before the armor timer was up, a significant attempt to break in over 100 additional wormhole pilots failed, and many of them destroyed in the effort. Pandemic Horde ships were among the wrecks. Would enemies of The Initiative help Hard Knocks defeat Init and avoid eviction?

HK did not contest the armor timer. Init Ravens pummeled the Fort Knocks while HK looked on. Next, the final timer; witch comes out Wednesday at 02:00. It all comes down to that hour – that fight.

Today we dive into the weird world of Abyssal space, guided by game developer, CCP Rise. We talk about the space, some of the design principals that went into it and the new ships and rewards. We also get slight hints on what CCP is up to, especially when it comes to a booster for skill injectors. We also review Initiatives attack on Hard Knocks – Fort Knocks. Best of all Elise Randolph joins the ranks of TIS regulars. We’ll see more of him! You might notice some sounds and music in the background – sound good? Let us know.

On December 8, 2018 at 16:00 EVE time, The Initiative lead a 900-man invasion of Hard Knocks home. The system known as Rage is a C5 class wormhole and contains 2 keepstars in it; one of them was the first Keepstar ever built.

Hard Knocks Alliance was caught off guard and The Initiative quickly went to work; they destroyed several HK towers and dropped their own. The initiative also dropped 35 structures to use as bases for the assault. They additionally reinforced the shields of both keepstars, setting up the next round of fights which will happen December 9th at 02:00.

Talking In Stations was aware of the invasion the moment it started and went live to bring EVE fans coverage as events unfolded. The following is a recording of the beginning of Initiatives invasion of the wormhole system known as Rage.
