For Smiling Dog Crews part in Hutton and Maausk, we do what we do, we associate and fly with Code but we aren't roleplay pirates, SDC are a small group of serious internet spaceship combat pilots who are interested in PvP space combat, CMDRS Sundae Skramz and myself have killed many people with and without warning and have no need to try to make RP excuses or seek forgiveness for what we do. We use any tactics we see fit to subdue our adversaries and thats how we play the game. We might associate with Code and fly with them but certainly don't answer to them neither should anyone consider the actions of SDC as representative of the Code or their pilots, we are merely "consultants" who help Code when things get hot and visa versa. SDC aren't some off the handle Code wing made up to take the blame for stuff as has been suggested on Reddit, we are our own group and will continue to maintain our autonomy whoever we fly with.
<snip>They are a bunch of very cool and fun guys, no-one is trying to ruin anyones fun or anyones day but we are a bunch of guys who shoot stuff up, this is an established fact so when we blow your ship up, don't cry and post on forums saying you weren't warned, NPC's don't warn you, game mechanics work against everyonein some way, we lose alot of money in ships doing what we do. Also as an Eve player I see the future of this game and player powerblocks are going to be a reality of this sandbox, like it or not.
Part of making a powerblock is to suppress the gains of any potential adversary, part of this is identifying who it is that can take you on. The best place for us to find serious opposition is at CG's. <sinp> Many thanks to those brave souls who have come and fought, killed and died, <snip>
