* Nature of the Privateer Alliance

==== Nature of the Privateer Alliance ====

* Changes to wardec fees

The Privateer Alliance was founded in order to facilitate hisec PvP for its members. Wardec fees at the time scaled only with the number of simultaneous wars the defender had; this made it possible for Privateers to maintain a large number of simultaneous wardecs. In this period, they typically had 75 to 80 simultaneous wardecs -- which provided them with wide scope for shooting people. The wardec fees were sustainable because of the large size of the alliance, which spread the cost around. Privateers corporations were able to sustain themselves from the loot of their kills.

The Revelations 1.4.2 patch changed the calculation of wardec fees to factor in the number of wars the aggressor was maintaining, so that huge numbers of simultaneous wars were no longer practical. This created great difficulties for the Privateers.

Meanwhile, senior figures in the Privateers developed grudges against the Uni. Where previous Privateer wars had been intermittent and fairly calm, this round versus the Privateers lasted some two months without pause, and tempers were high on both sides.

* Forum wars

* Battleship Loans

====Battleship Loans====

Lack of DPS in Uni fleets has been a recurring problem throughout the Uni's history. After over a month of war with no break, a battleship loan program was started to get more battleship-capable pilots flying the big boats in war fleets.
