Embracing the purple

Let's start this intro by thanking every single one of EX-SA members for making all our achievements and shenanigans possible! It's thanks to you that people still huddle up on comms, join fleets and mingle over and over every week.

Our primary goals have now shifted to providing verified FCs / communities for a wide range of content, making sure everyone is chasing FUN-per-hour instead of grinding ISK-per-hour. This ensures no pressure on individuals and once again highlights the vast number of activities in EVE players can take part in, especially when they don't look at various game loops through the grindy glasses of ISK efficiency.

Furthermore, this year was marked with EX-SA swapping alliances and joining The Ancients - one of the largest NPSI groups and content creators in game. Our pilots have been a part of TA roams for a very long time, and it simply felt right to make this move as the next step of our EVE journey. We made and kept a lot of friends, and it's safe to say that all active PVPers fully embraced the purple of the NPSI fleets!

Another major milestone was our participation in this year's Alliance Tournament! It was a fantastic experience with loads of fun and pewpew, so we're very much looking forward to our next qualification round in 2022!

We've always been more about having fun and doing stupid shit than killboards, but everyone likes to see them green - With that said, let's dive straight into our activity stats for 2021!

Favourite ships

1. Raptor
Common doctrine: Shrinkwrapped
Welp count: 3277
Extremely nimble, fast and agile while still dealing quite a punch - These combat interceptors proved for the 2nd year in a row how flying cheap and agile ships leads to countless hours of pure fun and mayhem across any region the hungry fleet comes across...
Raptor
2. Scalpel
Common doctrine: Shrinkwrapped
Welp count: 930
You don't often see logi ships at the top of the killboard - however, thanks to Rynn and her perfected techniques of using the "Whorrior" drones - this T2 logi frigate not only sits as the 2nd most popular ship in corp, but also made Rynn the 2nd all time Scalpel pilot on zKill while pushing EX-SA to 3rd all-time corp for the same ship!
Scalpel
3. Thrasher
Common doctrine: Wedge
Welp count: 874
These dirt cheap T1 destroyers are a backbone of the Coalition Wedgefleet! Regardless of whether they're used for roaming or gate camping, the high alpha-damage of Thrashers makes them a perfect tool for loads of kills while making them extremely easy to replace...
Thrasher
4. Merlin
Common doctrine: GRIP
Welp count: 428
Newbro approved ship of choice! The fast-tackle fit used in coalition training roams serves as a great starting point for learning how to PVP. With solid tank and DPS, Merlins make a fantastic starting point for any PVP enthusiast in the making...
Merlin
5. Retribution
Common doctrine: Armor surprise / Hornets
Welp count: 266
Apart from the sleek-golden looks, Retris come with a benifit of assault-frigate traits making them extremely tough for a frigate class ship. Depending on the fleet setup, you will mostly find us flying these around lowsec (where their tankyness shines in mitigating gate-guns) or nullsec alongside Confessors and support for some fast-moving high-punching action!

We've been up to random shenanigans throughout the year, and listing them all here would make this single page even longer to scroll! Luckily, it's become a habbit for us to post small snippets of activities worth noting on our timeline so we can always go back and have a reminder of what we did.

Be it something worthy like a major milestone or something completely stupid to make fun of for years to come - our timeline serves as a testament of all things EX-SA related.
