Core| Disbandment Notice

[Kauket]

APM were a big part of the faction - the faction has a 3.0 and is a Corp, direction it went towards even more over the last year. We had interactions with their transports on multiple factions from Gallia to Liberty.

And they never failed since I am here - the one you mention is 1.5 years old.

To pretend they weren't doing a lot better than a lot of existing OFs corpses on life support would just be ignorant. Compared to many other factions they go out on a high note, and could have kept it going for years.

@Emperor Tekagi my sentiment as well - it will be hard for anyone to make a serious faction that wouldn't be plain worse off than the point from which this one is disbanding.

In other words, Core had EVERYTHING to do while other factions are restricted and cannot expand on gameplay as they did. They have farming. Corp stuff, 4.2k usage. They can mine. They can hunt down their opposition (order) across the game. They have a load of target opportunities INCLUDING transports, even outside zoi (nom equip, allies etc.). They have an amazing tech cell (90 on all military house). They have Battleship access. They have law enforcement lines and a pretty generous zoi on top of these ID benefits. They are a military+mining ID in one.

That's not really impressive when factions with far far less had more interactions, and Core were still struggling and relying on powertrading near the end. Core went down hill in 2016 when all the OGs left. Nothing new ever came of them aside from some diplo that didnt go too far, and the Freeport 11 incident.

They should have pushed towards harassing Zoners more often. But short-sighted development (whacky omicron layouts) and (probably) admin inaction prob didnt permit them to do more.
