Adle’s Armada are delighted to be taking part in the Rise to Power. We hope what follows will be of use to all Cmdrs.


Who is in the Adle’s Armada Coalition?

We are proud to be joined in our wildcard bid by Earth Defence Fleet, Independent Pilots Consortium, Sovereign Justice Coalition & The Ancient Order.

What follows is written from the perspective of Adle’s Armada but our allies may of course speak for themselves also, o7

Why support the Adle’s Armada Coalition?

Roleplay: Because we are a powerful, positive force in the Galaxy, fighting terrorism, murder and piracy. We defend Eravate and ‘starter space’, new members of the Pilots Federation, traders, the peaceful, the law-abiding and the innocent anywhere in the Galaxy. We have demonstrated time and again that those who would plunge the Galaxy into murderous anarchy can and will be confronted and defeated.

Out of character: See above … no, seriously … we are the current undefeated Galactic PvP League Champions. That and some of the links/vids that follow will demonstrate our PvP credentials. However, we also have a track-record of dealing with the PvE elements of the game such as the Background Sim and working with other Cmdrs, both independent and from other groups, to do so. See the Eravate BGS thread here:

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=240468

We are a friendly, responsible, set of gamers with members in every timezone. Our Admins include well-known figures in the Galaxy such as (to name but a few):

S!lk: our Founder, US-based

Finegan: second-in-command, US-based, liked even by our RP enemies

Truesilver: UK 1984-er, weapons data librarian, author of the popular ‘Truesilver’s Tests’ series

Noobdelux: unflappable Scandinavian, plays ED every hour and knows (almost) everyone

Breakfastmelon: exuberant Irish duellist, his PvP friends list is almost as long as his list of 1v1 victories

Above all, we are a group with a proven track record of working with others to succeed. We have been active since launch and are bigger and stronger than ever – no mean feat for a group that was originally Open PvP only. Nowadays we welcome the support of every Cmdr, with every interest in the game. Many have joined us who enjoy playing the game in other modes and/or PvE only. We believe we can build a successful, inclusive and united Power.

Who is your proposed Powerplay character and what is your vision?

We propose to create a new RP character:

Mars Adle, son of Fer-de-Lance ace Minerva and grandson of AA’s RP founder, Tyllerius.

CZYety4.png



Mars is ‘vigilante executioner royalty’ in that he is part of a dynasty that has brought justice to otherwise corrupt and dangerous systems. However, he sees that one major faction, or one militia within it, can never be enough.

When Tyllerius brought Adle’s Armada out of the Federal Navy and into a clandestine paramilitary state, his brutal motto, ‘For every pirate a scaffold, for every terrorist a rail gun’ set out almost all AA had to say.

However, Mars understands that in 3302, in a Galaxy in which hyperspace travel allows a pilot to travel hundreds of light years in minutes, effecting change may take more than controlled aggression.

Mars believes that the Galaxy can only be saved from ‘kill or be killed’ anarchy by bringing together every pilot who wants to take a stand. Although his faction is Federal, he understands the need to work with the Empire, the Alliance and Independent Cmdrs.

The first question Mars would ask about someone is not, ‘Who are they’, or ‘Where are they from?’ but ‘What do they do?

Mars sees that the existing structures of governance have demonstrably failed to deliver a secure and peaceful Galaxy. A man or woman who seeks to feed their family by gathering exploration data, or trading, risks death at the hands of laughing psychopaths who can brag about their exploits in the next system, there supposedly ‘clean’, if they even bother to leave the scene of their crime. The Navies and Authorities are usually absent, the systems of justice corrupt or inadequate.

In these circumstances Mars sees the only solution as a coalition of the willing, members of the Pilots Federation who can put aside all other differences and fight against the violent criminals who the existing Governments and Powers have failed to curb.

Mars aims to succeed because the Galaxy deserves better.

A little more about The Armada


Adle’s Armada is the oldest, most powerful and most well established Federation aligned group in Elite Dangerous, based out of the legendary system of Eravate, the most attacked and well defended player group controlled system in the game. We have a need for both dedicated PvP and PvE players. Our RP would be considered that of law enforcement or “Judge Dredd” or “Space Batman.”

In 1.4 we were given control of Eravate and its controlling station, Ackerman Market. After a BGS struggle lasting through three in-game civil wars we secured our position by taking Cleve Hub (the station closest to the star and probably the busiest star port in the entire game). Since then our faction has expanded.

We still travel the Galaxy, however, aiding those who need us. We give any worthy call for aid the highest priority. As a recent example of what we try to achieve, we were contacted last week by United German Commanders, who were under PvP attack by multiple player groups. Inside 24 hours we deployed three full AA combat wings, arriving en masse 196 Ly from Eravate, to help secure UGC's home system amidst fierce fighting.


At the Heart of Galactic Events

We’ve been active since launch in December 2014 and have been a big part of almost every large engagement, part of in-game news and the official Frontier Development newsletters and on the official Frontier Developments Facebook/Twitter page.

We are at the heart of current events in the Galaxy. Our recent achievements including winning Season 1 of the Galactic PvP League undefeated, preventing terrorists from delivering an Unknown Artefact to an Eravate outpost in Frontier’s ‘Educating Ed’ Ep.14 and destroying 17 criminal ships that came to Eravate with the announced intention of killing new players for a livestream.

It should be said that we are happy to represent all players of any playtype that are interested in a fun, safe experience. We pride ourselves on helping new players and experienced ones do what they need to do by killing off any and all Commanders looking to stop them. We pride ourselves on being the bastion of positive PvP in Elite Dangerous and encourage all Commanders of all modes and creeds (Fed/Imp/Inde/Alliance) to join with us.

Player groups who would like to join our coalition will be handsomely rewarded a seat in our power's senate and their RP characters be supported in our lore. Single CMDRs will also be rewarded for their efforts by being named as top achievers in our CGs and given some awesome AA swag to commemorate their badassery. I'm at work and can't type a huge summary, but I'd be happy to answer any questions. :)

Our Ethos:


Adle's Armada is one of the oldest, most powerful and most well established Federation aligned (but not exclusive) group in Elite Dangerous. We were formed out of a deep need for a positive combat force in the game, therefor we go where we feel that there are injustices in the Galaxy. At our very core, we're dedicated to stopping piracy, terrorism and any other negative force that can harm innocent players. Adle's Armada is based out of the legendary system of Eravate, the most attacked and well defended player group controlled system in the game. We have a need for both dedicated PvP and PvE players. Our RP would be considered that of law enforcement or "Judge Dredd." Check out our Official INARA page on more information about us, our history and on how to join! We are a large, very well organized group of players. Our rank structure is very different from many other groups and that it is fluid.. Everyone from the bottom up has an equal say in operations and we do not force players to be on at certain times. Recently we have relaxed our stringent "PvP Federation ONLY" RP and have happily recruited PvE and new players into our ranks, as well as some non-Federal players that share our ideals of a positive play experience and showing players that there IS something they can do to change the galaxy for the better.

We've been active since launch in December 2014 and have been a big part of almost every large engagement, part of in-game news and the official Frontier Development newsletters and on the official Frontier Developments Facebook/Twitter page.

Our Powerplay character:

Mars Adle, age 28, son of Tyllerius Adle III.

Well known Fer-De-Lance ace in the Adle's Armada fleet. Since birth he has been molded to be a leader and expert combat pilot. Mars is ‘vigilante executioner royalty’ in that he is part of a dynasty that has brought justice to otherwise corrupt and dangerous systems. However, he sees that one major faction, or one militia within it, can never be enough. When Tyllerius brought Adle’s Armada out of the Federal Navy and into a clandestine paramilitary state, his brutal motto, ‘For every pirate a scaffold, for every terrorist a rail gun’ set out almost all AA had to say.

Mars believes that the Galaxy can only be saved from ‘kill or be killed’ anarchy by bringing together every pilot who wants to take a stand. Although his faction is Federal, he understands the need to work with the Empire, the Alliance and Independent Cmdrs.

The first question Mars would ask about someone is not, ‘Who are they’, or ‘Where are they from?’ but ‘What do they do?

He sees that the existing structures of governance have demonstrably failed to deliver a secure and peaceful Galaxy. A man or woman who seeks to feed their family by gathering exploration data, or trading, risks death at the hands of laughing psychopaths who can brag about their exploits in the next system, there supposedly ‘clean’, if they even bother to leave the scene of their crime.

Community built lore for Adle's Armada:

Tyllerius Adle III, born into the Federal dynasty, Adle's Armada originally founded in 2900 under the name "41st Securities Squadron" under Post Commander Tyllerius Adle by the Federal Navy to keep law and order in the lawless system of Ngaliba and surrounding systems, an area of space once a haven for pirates and criminals. In 3200, due to the 41st Securities Squadron's proximity to the Liaedin system they were specifically chosen to take part in a top secret operation with Imperial security forces to face a yet to be unclassified threat to humanity. In 3256 Tyllerius Adle II broke his combat force off of this top secret inter-factional alliance for an unknown reason, a clash of morality between Adle and his Imperial counterparts was heavily speculated, but never confirmed. Due to this split and the Federal Navy's backlash, the 41st SS was disassembled and renamed Adle's Armada by its remaining members and moved their HQ to Eravate where they work to ensure all commanders can fly in relative safety. In 3301 with the death of his father, Tyllerius Adle III was put in place as chairman of Adle's Armada of Eravate and began building back up his elite combat force to provide defense to those who need defending. With Eravate and surrounding systems safely under the Armada's control, Tyllerius Adle III has sent his son, Mars to create a galactic senate of like minded governments and personalities from across human inhabited space to stop the spread of terrorism and to break up large crime syndicates, not matter if the affected system is Federal, Imperial, Independent or Alliance, Adle's Armada and their coalition of like minded personalities will pledge to stomp out the evil so CMDRs of the Pilot's Federation can live their lives in safety.

i think you guys have the biggest shot at becoming an power... i might even back you guys :p

Why thank you, Cmdr Conch.

Speaking personally, as someone with no experience of online gaming, when I bought this game well over a year ago the one thing I absolutely would not have predicted was that I would become a member of a player group.

Of course that type of participation won't be for everyone, but I would certainly encourage anyone interested to support AA, whether by becoming a full member, or voting for our wild card entry, or (if ultimately successful) pledging to our Power.

See you in the black,

Truesilver
 
Just for clarity, if you were to win and Mars became a Power Play power, you would be a Federation power?

Yes, Mars and his faction are Federation and would be so for PP purposes.

However, the character concept is 'more hawkish on crime than Hudson or ALD, more of a dove on legitimate foreign relations than Winters'.

So Federal but outside of Fed Government and with a different take on Galactic affairs.

Yes we would, HOWEVER our power will be made up of many different groups of various creeds and backgrounds so we wont solely be an anti imperial/alliance/independent power. That's not exactly our RP. :)
 
I've flown with an AA pilot or two before, and I can honestly say that I have only good things to report. Friendly, capable, and willing to take the time to help other players out. I've been flying with one of them fairly regularly recently, and he has gone out of his way to teach me more about the game and give me PvP tips. He even duels me to help me practice and test loadouts, and hunts with me as well.

I will be throwing my support behind AA. I hope to meet even more of their outstanding pilots in the future.

Yes finally! Way to go Silk!! Best wishes from the IPC. Reasons to support the AA coalition:

1. We play in Open.

2. We hunt Murderers, Trolls, Griefers, and (occasionally) Pirates

3. You don't have to change your RP to join: we are a diverse coalition, and you DON'T give up your sovereignty to join.

4. Every member group gets a voice and a chance to influence our power

5. You don't have to do anything you don't want to: between CGs, powerplay, PvP etc. there will always be lots to do and your group can contribute how you choose.

6. Our coalition has many of the best bounty hunters and most feared PvPers in the game. AA is one the oldest player groups in the game (existing since the beta), and their focus has been on PvP from the beginning. They are joined by other established PvP groups like the IPC and ToC.

Check out some of the cool stuff the IPC and AA have done together in the past!

[video=youtube_share;1UOGm7zusnM]https://youtu.be/1UOGm7zusnM?t=6m40s[/video]

So if you like the idea of keeping your group's Independence but still getting a seat at the table, if you like the idea of being able to contribute to the Power how you wish, and if you like the idea of flying with many of the best known pilots in the galaxy...then you should support the AA coalition. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
 
Is this self-proclaimed member of AA actually an AA member?

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=246789

He claims to be one, but that doesn't seem to match up with his wish of "going down to this Jaques CG and blowing up every single trader I see"? I wouldn't think that AA would tolerate a member that admits not only to piracy but also to doing it under a false flag by claiming to be doing it for the sake of the Federation ("I give them the option of dumping all their cargo or being blown up under the guise of a Federal blockade, lol"). After all, AA is all about defending the helpless, but that doesn't square at all with calling the Fuel Rats and the traders who support them "sissies" and pirating or destroying them just for fun. I was honestly shocked that no one called him out for associating such disgraceful positions with the heroes of Eravate.

Ive played many mmo's and have been in many clans and player groups.
I tend to play in the background and stay to myself.
I joined AA about 2 months ago and have been in and out of their teamspeak.
I must say, this group of guys are some of the nicest and knowledgable in the game.
All topics are covered in chat...and never a dull moment.
The character of AA pilots show ingame and in chat....they are truly the guys that wear the white hats.
Positive energy and fun times in this group.
There is someone willing to help no matter what the task....and happy about it.
heck, just last night, we had a member helping out the fuel rats with his anaconda that was not set up as an explorer.
Ive seen countless of good deeds in the last 2 months I have been with this group.
I can honestly say, this is one of the best and active clans in the game....and I do not regret joining these guys for one minute.

I suggest if you want to join a helpful group of guys/gals that love this game, pull the trigger and sign up.
Its easy and something you wont regret.

If you do not wish to join, support and a vote would be most welcome as mentioned by OP.
Take a half a minute and support a group that deserves it.

That's the complete opposite experience I've had with them.

We [Cosmic State] were the ones helping them out back at Lugh and shortly after vs. CODE. They repaid us with underhanded BGS tanking in the name of a personal vendetta and out of game harassment. We have since moved out of Elite, but given the intolerable nature of such behavior in a video game (speaking to the out of game harassment) I'll be sure to do my best to educate anyone that cares to listen about S!lk's gaming behavior, delusion, and abhorrent narcissism. FDev's reply was that it wasn't done in game so it's out of their jurisdiction.

Cue the tirade of "You're just jealous of our success", "You don't even play anymore so just leave", "Nice try troll", "S!lk's a meanie argument again?"

Evidence (copious) can be provided at request, but doesn't need to clutter this thread.

As for tawittle's "4. Every member group gets a voice and chance to influence our power" if you really want that to be the case, your liaison to FDev better not be someone from the hierarchy of AA. Their negotiations have been mostly "Say whatever it takes to get people to agree and then do what we want anyway."

To be clear, mindless murder isn't piracy.

To be fair the guy that voiced the "border" guys video is so manly, it impregnates women several star-systems away.
