Nah not my style

15 days to go. A little PvC, as seen with a top view.

1 Galactic Events (6267) [45,22]  1014 5116796 23867

Noir, Gard, TCO
Certain things are simply unavoidable. Even in a hardcore galaxy, with the Galactic Events disabled, Galactic Events will eventually screw you over. You know it will happen, the question is just when. This was your ultimate chance to give those Tokaasi whatfor for stealing all those agents in the past, your chance to battle that magical disease, yes, your chance to finally stick it to those lazy traders on strike. You didnt. It'll come back to bite you in the lower back.

2 The Three Stooges (6268) [25,59]  621 2511189 14983

Ocho, Snailsex, Ekoe
These guys are doing surprisingly well ! They used a combination of good eco, sound strategy, diplomacy and the tendency of other fams to underestimate them, and turned it into a commanding 2nd place. Their only weak spot seems to be internal communication, but for now experience at this game has compensated for that. The question now remains : will they keep doing this well now that others will stop underestimating them?

3 WE BE EVIL~~ (6270) [40,59]  566 2146543 14460

Aname, Semizzle, Jarik
With a good p-count and acceptable NW, these boys are still in the game. Their main challenge lies in upgrading their below-average economy (compared to other top fams) while not falling behind in the race for planets. Will they pull off this precarious balancing act, or trip all over themselves and become a tempting target?

4 USS VOYAGER (6273) [9,60]  374 2725281 13812

WiWi, Gollum, TBO
They are quite behind on the p-count, but giving WiWi that big fleet might just have been the thing to do here. At least he knows how to use it. I'm expecting to see their planet count jump us fast in the upcoming days, but is it too little, too late, or can they step up to the plate and play with the big boys? Would have been doing a lot better if TBO had been a tenth as good as he thinks he is, though.
Contenders for survival. Pretenders, mostly TBO

5 the Elements (6271) [20,20]  298 1790539 13611

Paperclip, DaDevil, Humidity
These guys took a spot in the middle of the rankings, mixed in some survival skills, and kept on climbing the ranks by virtue of the fams above them dying. They should really step up their game if they dont want to become food for someone else. One has to wonder if they do have what it takes to go on the initiative themselves though.

6 Threesome is great!!! (6272) [54,37]  348 1577864 11976

Dixie, shaw115, MCFC
I had personally expected more from these guys. Yeah sure, they actually do have a decent planet count, but probably the worst nw-to-planet ratio of the fams that still matter. Pick up the slack in the eco department guys, coz you are fat fat fat !  And that spells target target target !

7 Close enough (6278) [52,57]  236 1391139 10515

Rchie,Shunshine,fast
Actually, no, not close enough. Not by far. Their resourcer is allready taking a holiday in the sun, and their attacker does not seem to be up to the task of keeping them safe. Expect their planets to be in someone else's hands soon.

8 The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! (6284) [8,43]  216 1023736 10509

Wornstrum, Poley, Barf Zeeblebrix
An honorary mention for 2 F-mods and a mod actually still surviving in a hardcore galaxy. They surprised everyone and their hamster by actually being active and doing things the right way. Well, within acceptable limits of course, exaggeration might get them a slap on the wrist from the mods union, obviously. Right now fending off 2 fams who made the mistake of thinking they would be easy pickings. It'll eventually get them killed, but they're putting up a good fight, and are actually restoring some of the lost faith in mods playing the game. Well done !

9 Team 22 ^_^ (6279) [40,49]  301 1491274 9617

Alundra, Songaila, Sunstorm
Probably the sexiest team still in the running (mostly thanks to James, obviously ... NOT ), they are actually the proverbial fox in the henhouse. While their economy is neither good nor bad, and their offensive power nothing to be scared of, they have a tendency to overdo it in the ops department, which can cripple even the biggest fams. This has assured them of survival thus far, but will it last now that some economies are getting so much stronger that op-defenses are becoming ever easier to acquire? Also a big congratulations on actually keeping James active, that in itself is allready a victory

Everyone else : dead, but still waiting on the coroner to declare them that. Special mention for Insane (75) for still being alive and actually doing a great job against the now non-existent 83.

hey wheres my fam? >_<

lol, much better ^_^, Thanks

"Success! The realm of RNDR ProjeX has been reduced to dust! Our forces are leaving the planet though, as it is scheduled for demolition to make way for a new hyperspace bypass."

TCO

I'm 100% sure with you2 suckers playing in my fam I woulda been dead long ago, you cannot imagine the amount of 3 man fams destroyed before I was actually killed.

And dont you think Venom cares a shit of what ya think, he killed me because he finally could, not because you told him to

Rchie
