What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

For me, I'd have to say my alltime favorite squad was -DSA-, because of all the good times. We always flew together and were SOOOOOO formidable in pvp that the Quantar and Octavian monkeys had to form up together and make the EEA to defeat us.

We used to get irritated when Sol Navy would try to fly with us, because TTelephone had a bad reputation and we didn't want to be associated with that kind of dishonorable behavior.

I think my second favorite squad is a tie between OSP and Santa's Helpers. I wasn't in either of them, but the drama they inspired should never be forgotten.

p.s. Non-Octavian HG really don't have any business being in Oct space.

Re: What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

I don't know, I'm kind of stuck between two.

TDP because it was my first chance to pirate, and I REALLY enjoyed flying with DrKronic.

EoR because it was the best Quant squad, the people were awesome, and Tesrend was like a god to me.

Re: What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

Well, Id go with mine, StormRaiders, because it was my first big squad and it was always a blast and also because somebody (dont remember who was honestly, a quant PvPer LOL) once said... "cause we fought back".

OEC it was my baptism of fire. Karash always came up with excellent write ups and RP stories and such, and we look forward for what was next to come.

LL/KH during WOWs 3, 4 and 5 (6 gives me bad memories). It was a blast to fly with enemies and other PvPers and have a weekend friendship with people I normally wouldnt fly with. With LL it was awesome following Chubby around and I once did that Scout in a Nix thing, I loved it.

Re: What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

Obviously the best squad ever is M Engineering Company! Of course, we have to give a shout out to R.E.G.A.N. and OMC and New Dawn and DDZ and... and.. well... pretty much everyone.

Re: What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

Having been in the same squad my entire career, I gotta say Red Dwarfers. We were pretty big on EU and generally RP'd, even if the role was that of the mad drunk.

As for squads I was never in, I'd go for squads I've known for yonks (sorry for slipping into the vernacular, it means "a long time") such as OV and Fatal Shadows.

Used to love helping to stock GBS for TDP on EU as well! *Looks around to make sure no-one heard me say that then slopes off*

Re: What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

Pride of Soria was my favorite. TexMurphy was a fun guy to follow, and the crew we had was a good group of people.

Synergy was great in the very beginning, but lost it's luster for me when it started letting too many people in that had different ideas on piracy.

Lapis Lazuli was also a great squad, but we existed during a step decline in JumpGate, so we were kind of hampered by our environment.

And of course 3rd Battalion was great. But again, JumpGate was well past it's prime by that time, so it's full potential was never realized.

Re: What was your favorite Jumpgate squad & why?

I loved 3rd Battalion, but I think it would have worked better as a completely anonymous pure RP squad instead of a regular squad with strong RP background. I love anonymous RP squads -- they are a great way to take a break from your "base character" and do something different. The multi-character Jumpgate Evolution concept is very compellling to me for that reason.
