Step 1 - Move to Russia.
KIA are a group that played in beta and added their elite gamer tag Killed In Action to their names - some of the best early PvPers. They were part of Curse Alliance (alliance mechanics didn't exist in game at the time) who were widely regarded as The Best. They became the military wing of an industrial group (and had a short-lived merger where they became RONA-KIA) known as The Phoenix Alliance which went on to become the Northern Coalition. They kinda dropped a bit after this, but had a brief resurgence and joined MC to create Tortuga (a freeport led by mercenary alliances)
Mostly Harmless - Part of the Northern Coalition (not the alliance with the same name that exists now, but a group of alliances that dominated the early part of EVEs history). Their POS passwords, and trademark local call, was o0k. The alliance basically died when the DRF invaded the Northern forces, and the rest of the North kinda merged into the CFC (or moved to Delve to quietly die). One of their main FCs is still semi-active and the leader of Sniggwaffe.
Solar Feet - led by MACTEP, arguably one of the best FCs the game has ever seen (easily top 3), SOLAR were the military wing of the DRF and before that just Baddass Russians Who You Were Scared Of Because They Were Badass™. They had great success while allied with Legion of xDeathx, who were more industrial focused. Together they toppled the the Northern Coalition, a group deemed too dominant and too big to fall. They have hilarious interactions with other Russian groups, always good for drama.
Against ALL Authority, otherwise known as -A-, were widely regarded to be the best PvP force in EVE and lived in the South. Whenever people invaded them, they'd retreat to Stain (shoutout to LGK), wait for the invaders to leave, and come back stronger than ever. They played a major role politically in the game during Delve I & II, and were so dominant that the remained #1 on the killboards long after their alliance folded. Hilariously, they died to an unlikely pairing of allies TEST Alliance and Pandemic Legion (and others, of course, forming the HBC - Honey Badger Coalition) who forced them out and then lived in their space. HBC waged one of EVEs most devastating propaganda wars on -A-, including parody songs and the notion that -A- cared more about killboards than allies. The "killboards green" meme is a throwback to this.
Tribal Band - Uhhh...they lived in Period Basis and were part of the aforementioned HBC. Didn't really do anything noteworthy, at least in comparison to the other alliances.
Raiden - After BoB/Kenzoku finally died, a few member corps went on to form Raiden. Along with White Noise, SOLAR, XIX they formed the military backbone of the DRF and had (at the time) the largest supercap fleet the game had ever seen. After conquering the North, they took space and kinda fell apart. Killing the Northern Coalition was what a lot of those dudes lived for. Finfleet is probably the most notable one that's still around, they're in NC.
Atlas Alliance - another Old Guarde group run by one of EVE's most notorious early names: Bobby Atlas. Allied with BoB, they lived on the South/West of the map and were super dominant in their day. Kinda died out when Bobby Atlas eventually left the game. Their legacy kinda lives on in Elo Knight, who was in Atlas for a bit.
Nulli Secunda - Lived in the South, allies with -A- and the Southern Coalition and then after that died, became part of N3 and allied with Northern Coalition. and Pandemic Legion(ish). Some pretty huge names were in Nulli, including Killah Bee and Progodlegend. They kinda sorta died, but most of their members live on in other groups. Some are in NCdot, some in lowsec, and another big group are (hilariously) in the alliance that played a large role in defeating them previously - TEST.
Killed In Action
Killerz In Action ;)
There were a few people in KIA who used to go mental when I got this wrong and used Killed In Action to troll them :D
I asked Hillmar about cynos in response to this on Twitter
Edit: Hillmar liked my post asking him to delete cynos!
I'd love it if there was a spool up timer on jump drives so that it took longer to drop on people. 15-30 seconds would be good.
Oh also, no more supers in lowsec... and only covert cynos.
If people want to field regular caps in lowsec, make them use gates to move them around.
This is why I'm not a Game Designer ;)
To be fair, he's been getting fed BS intel for years.
One of the funniest looks of shock I've seen from him was a few years back at a Fanfest speech (long after the 'Summer of Rage', as I recall), and he asked the room if they should 'open the door'... There was a resounding 'yes', with maybe a dozen 'noes'. The look on that face was priceless. Clearly his intel had told him to expect the opposite.
(Personally, when it comes to WiS, I hold Torvi to blame for a lot of it - but CCP in general, for their hubris in thinking they could actually pull it off with their new tech, instead of settling for something lesser.)

Your "blame" is entirely misplaced.
Also, "blaming" people does nothing but form a culture where thinking outside the box never happens and progress is heavily stunted.
Accountability is everything and learning from mistakes is key, but blaming people and chastising them for trying something new is a decent way to kill a project.
IN SPACE, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fake, I'm way fatter.
It's a known fact that /u/ccp_falcon wants local deleted.
We love you Falcon <3
It's part of a long list of savage changes that I'd make to EVE if I could haha :D
if you haven't yet played them on ps4:
dark souls 3 (good combat/aesthetic)
the witcher 3 (good story/ roleplay)
ark survival evolved (survival with dinos)
red dead redemption 2 (be a cowboy outlaw)
helldivers (starship troopers, the book, the game)
overcooked (party game, make food)

Wait, what?!?! OMFG u/CCP_FALCON I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE!!!!!
Veto were the first group to kick my ass and also show me around..... ahhh nostalgia..... Milo Caman ran this great in game channel to help noobs called Mentors. Some of my first and best in game friends came from there.
I miss you lot a lot! <3
haha, I thought it was common knowledge who I used to be :)
Glad to hear you and fun and got some good mentoring from some of my dudes though, that makes me feel good! :D <3
Hey /u/ccp_falcon don't you have a wishlist that disproves this?
You wouldn't believe some of the shit that's on my wishlist for EVE...
...that said, I don't work in development! ;)
We love you too - thanks for becoming one of us <3
Hopefully we'll cross paths at some point and can exchange ammunition!
It would be nice, wouldn't it? :)
I already posted this over on the official forums, but thought I'd drop it in this thread too...
Just wanted to drop in here now I have a clearer picture of the situation and can speak with some knowledge on what happened here.
We completely understand community concerns around the selling of Skill Points for cash, and we know how strongly you guys feel about this.
A few changes are going to be made to this pack soon in order to square things away.
Just to clarify things, we’ve sold starter skillpoint packs to rookies in the past via steam, and of course SP rewards are a thing through the recruiment program too. This isn’t something new, and we’re always looking for ways to increase the chances of a rookie pilot becoming a seasoned veteran that sticks with EVE for many years.
The objective of this pack was to give rookies a little bit more leeway with their initial training and to give them a leg up when it came to branching out into their first few new ships. While it’ll have th...
Read moreYeah, we're already looking at this.
The recording will be up in the next week or so max - we recorded all the presentations that were hosted :)
/u/ccp_falcon I warned you they would figure it out.
Damn it!
I know it was an example but please don't go as low as 3 shared folders.
As a wormholer my corp has 12 folders and I know groups with more.
Each shared folder can then have subfolders, which will replace the current folders within corp bookmarks. Those subfolders don't need a low limit (and have no limit at all so far in the prototype). So you could have a single shared folder for your corp, which has 12 subfolders, and then use the other shared folders for other purposes.
