The Darkness is Growing

The corp Dark-Rising has been changing a lot lately. I joined up Dark-Rising last June, 2012. Back then the Corp just came back to Lowsec to join the Gallante Militia fighting the Caldarians. When I joined we were based in the Nisuwa-system, at the heart of Black Rise. Later that year we moved to Nennamaila, captured Enaluri and set up base there. Anno 2013, we needed a change.

Under the new motto "Fearless!" we decided to step out of Black Rise and set foot in another region on the other side of the universe: Metropolis. The Taff-system, to be more exact. Check out my previous blog entry about DarkTV, I uploaded a Special video about a little fight we had the other day in our new home.
The reason for this fight is that we Wardec'd this other shite little corp in Taff and decided to shoot their POCO's (Player Owned Custom Office). The POCO's themselves aren't that interesting, but they give a reason to roll out a fleet. And a fleet got rolled out indeed: 
This little corp happened to be blue'd with the COA, or; Coalition of Anti-Pirates. Our lucky day, right :-) We started the fight rather outnumbered, but became even more interesting when a third party, Shadow Cartel decided to warp in on us. One of the best fights Dark has seen the last few months. 

Anyway - if you've read my first entries, you'll know that I started my trial to become a Director last August. This January I finally earned that title, and I'm rather pleased with it. Compared to the age of this corp, and the members in it, I've become a Director at an extreme early stage. Not complaining. :-)

The future of Dark-Rising looks promising. Recruitment is still going, new roles and plans are evolving, and all our experience is still expanding.
And although Dark has been in Metropolis before, this land is all new to me and I'm excited to explore more of it.

DarkTV and other Videos

Hiya, not updated in a while, but here I am!

Since November I've been working on this other little project called DarkTV.
DarkTV is a new video series about Dark-Rising that will feature short clips of events that happened in the Corp, such as PvP ops and alike. Every episode is 'hosted' and introduced by someone else; in example the FC of that particular fleet.
The videos are relative short, up to 3 minutes max. The reason for this is that it makes them easy to watch; if you want to see a 30 minute documentary how a fleet is doing you might as well just play the game yourself :-)


DarkTV aside, I've also been doing some other videos of course. I did a video about the Worm Guristas-frigate, using a highly unusual and entertaining fitting. Another video flying the Republic Fleet Firetail, and a video of a little Frig Brawling on a Corp roam. Have a look at that! :-)
