Never heard of them. I really don't have much playing time or knowledge about the game to know anyone

They were a bunch of 0.0 pirates, used to be the biggest Corp in the game, and we clashed with BoB often. Even took down a couple titans

Band of Brothers used to be another big Corp, and a Titan is the biggest ship in the game

I've only been doing EVE Online since August of 2004.  I really have a lot to learn still.  Just over 110M skill points.

BoB used to be a super power corp in EVE but the Goonswarm manged to get ahold of the account to one of their high ranking officers. (Basically like the CO of a squad in AH.) They used this account to disband the alliance which threw the corp into chaos. It's pretty ingenious but also really dirty at the same time.

Bare in mind I didn't play at all when this happened but I read a lot about the aftermath of it. It's amazing how player choices and events can affect the entire game.

Very amazing. That is the appeal of the game imo.

I have found Eve Online is most enjoyable when you are flying with a group, or a corp. Going solo gets boring very fast, and is very tedious to be self sufficient. If you really want to have a lot of success with the game, you will want at least two accounts, one account to spend money on, like ships and weapons; and the other account to make money, like mining and trading. Running two accounts can be costly on your wallet if you don't have a good stable job like myself. I had two accounts, but decided I was just wasting real money on a game that does nothing in return for me. I would rather have a single subscription in Aces High, knowing that when I log on, I can have fun quickly and do different things. With Eve, you have to set aside a minimum of a few hours just to play and do whatever you want.

That's what made me quit the game for a long time and why when I returned to it I simply quit trying to make money. Its a ridiculous chore. Now I merely ran two money making missions or go rat-hunting in deep zero space for a little bit and I can afford to buy,equip and die in almost 50 little destroyers. But then the game became nothing but massive big-ship fights and their devs constantly made little ships useless so.. i left.

If the skill re-map had been complete I could've changed my character specializations... but since it is only training skills its not worth the bother.

I tried it, but was disappointed. You really have to get deep into it I guess. But the graphics and the idea, - very very nice ;)
But again, - AH is too much for some....unless you are a WW2 aero dweeb :D
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
