Haha Yeah our name will spread slowly but surely. I can't wait to see how the upcoming content affects recruitment.

[Mr.Bishop]

that. idea. is. GENIUS!

but who?

We could issue challenges or shoot a few notes over to other sites that we're planning this - ask them to develop corps of their own. I mean if we play the long game we can establish that this is a 'thing' and I'm sure at least a few others would bite.

Alright you convinced me empire it is, im in .

The whole idea of a massive PSU empire is just such beauty. We have the talent, we have the support... there is no reason we can't do this. Mark my words, you have support directly from the top on this so we can do whatever is necessary to make this happen.

How would one go about joining such a prestigious corporation of fine gentlemen (and women)? just request it through dust's corp search function?

Do you think our corp name should be shortened? The end of our name gets cut off on the leaderboards and what-not.

Perhaps 'PSU Covert Ghost Corp'?

Yeah its too long as of now. Ghost said that he wanted it to have 'derailment' in it to tie into the podcast derailed thing

[Ghost-Rhayne]

I'm open to a name change! Now that we are sizeable in number I think this is something we can look at. Here is the main consideration in my mind: Do we keep PSU or go for something that makes us more identifiable? 'PlayStation Universe Corp' (or Corporation) for example. Derailment was added to try and give PSU corp at least a little corporate identity by borrowing from our podcast but it doesn't need to be so.Voice you ideas and comments mercs, it is OUR banner so let's make it something we can be proud of.

[Kuro]

First game I play and I win lol
I did pretty crappy though 6/7

PSU should definitely come first. its all in caps and stands out in the leaderboards

i like it as its is tbh, though if others find in distracting im fine with a change...so long as PSU stays paramount

Eve Online: when 3000 players collide

By Robert Purchese Published Monday, 28 January 2013

"Ooh we've got multiplayer battles for 64 people versus 64." Shut up. In Eve Online, one does it by the thousands.
The latest mega-battle, The Battle of Asakai, involved more than 3000 players. Try deciphering some of the screenshots; the battle resembled some great universe-spanning spider web with, um, metal flies.
The Battle of Asakai also involved multiple Titan and Supercarrier kills, which, I'm informed, is almost unheard of in Eve.

The reason for the battle? Two of the game's biggest Coalitions (groups of Eve Alliances, themselves groups of Eve Corporations) - the ClusterF*** Coalition and the HoneyBadger Coalition - finally came to blows.
Time for a bit of history. The ClusterF*** Coalition is led by the Goonswarm Federation Alliance and its leader The Mittani - and you've heard his name before. The Goons, as they're affectionately known, originated from the Something Awful forums.

The HoneyBadger Coalition is led by Test Alliance and their leader Montolio. Test was born out of Reddit.
Test was once a part of the ClusterF*** Coalition; they were friends. But in 2012, Test wanted out of the shadows and into its own limelight, and so the HoneyBadger Coalition was formed in a different part of Eve's universe.

The HoneyBadger Coalition was very successful and soon joined the ClusterF*** Coalition as one of the biggest entities in Eve. Both apparently count more than roughly 10,000 players.

Perhaps inevitably, tension between the game's two superpowers began to rise. Montolio and The Mittani fell out personally, and Montlio responded by wanting all out war, but was talked down by Shadoo, leader of Pandemic - the main PVP Alliance within the HoneyBadger Coalition (do keep up). Montolio then stood down/went on holiday.
"I concede," wrote Montolio at the time.

"Shadoo has talked me off of the ledge, I have released the hostage and dropped my knife. After discussing this with other HBC leaders a reset and expanded NIP / OTEC agreement is the best path forward. It isn't what I want, but it is what you want.
"I want war. I want gigantic f***ing battles. I want to crash nodes because people are so f***ing interested in this sh**ty game."

The two main Alliances - Test and Goonswarm - within the two hulking Coalitions - ClusterF*** and HoneyBadger - reset their standings with each other, making them neutral rather than friendly and effectively putting them on the precipice of war.

What triggered the war was a mistake, a human error. A man in charge of a Titan, Eve's biggest class of ship and rarely ever used in direct combat, accidentally jumped/warped to a system it was supposed to be bridging - warping other ships - to.

The eyes of the locals in that system popped at the sight of an undefended Titan. They bat-phoned Pandemic Legion, a major PVP Alliance within the HoneyBadger Coalition, to destroy the Titan.

The Titan was owned by Goonswarm Fleet Commander Dabigredboat. He called in backup from Goonswarm and the Clusterf*** Coalition. Then Test and the rest of the HoneyBadger Coalition got involved.
Then the bat phone rang off the hook, with both Coalitions calling all members to log in to the game and bloody well help.

When the anti-matter settled, ClusterF*** Coalition had lost 44 Dreadnoughts, 29 Carriers, five Supercarriers and three Titans. The HoneyBadger Coalition lost six Dreadnoughts, 11 Carriers and one Supercarrier.
In ISK terms - the game's currency - Clusterf*** Coalition lost 650 billion ISK, and HoneyBadger Coalition 67 billion ISK.

It was, in HoneyBadger Coalition's favour - and as The Mittani himself admitted - "a complete rout".
There were 262 Alliances involved, 715 Corporations and 3161 players, according to Eve-Kill

thought you might find this interesting. More to do with EVE than Dust but still, it's a good read

[Ghost-Rhayne]

LOL Thanks BBK! I'm a pilot in EVE but I'm just a rookie leveling my base skills. It's super interesting to read about these huge battles. One day there could be thousands of mercs joining such epic battles.

I agree, I also like it, but it is perhaps a bit too long. Let's see what others have to say.

I feel we should go with something more 'official' sounding.

'PSU Industries'
'PSU Corporation'
'PSU Federation'
'PlayStation Universe Corp'

Or simply...

'PlayStation Universe'
'PSU'
'P.S.U.'

[Lasombra]

I love the Syndicate games so it seemed to fit with the whole 'corporatization' of the game.

[Ixion]

I think PSU Ghost Corp sounds the best

Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either.
