Greetings CMDR.
This will be my last announcement.

It has all started almost 4 years ago, right here. I created the profile and left it sitting for 2 months, before a CMDR Kovax Votu motivated me to do something with it. So I did, and I searched for every single CMDR I could find on FA, to generate interest.
Only 5 months later, CMDR Nyxsis, the original owner of the Discord server, agreed on cooperating with us. From this day on we started to expand more and more, and soon became the great fleet that we are.
Now I could go on and dwell more on the history of this fleet. But most of you were involved with the rest of it anyway.

I put my heart and soul into creating and developing this fleet. I spend day and night on having all you guys satisfied, to be the best furry fleet that we ever could be.
And here is where I stepped into a conflict with myself. I just can't do it anymore.
I can't enjoy this game anymore. To me personally, it has gone wrong in so many ways where it should've been right. I can't hold it in a good light anymore.
It deeply saddens me it has come this way. If I can't enjoy the game any more, how would I be able to make it enjoyable to you? How can I be a leader of something, for which I don't feel any reason to involve myself with any more?
It's been a long time since I've been fighting with myself, most notably since the Gnosis Scandal 9 months ago. This is when I've finally tipped over and lost my faith. I think those who know well about my activity here, took good notice of it.

But that's not to deny we had good times, too. Some of the earliest members here know about the old good times we had. When all of this was all about fun, chat and banter. It has been a very personal journey for me. I have evolved in many ways during those past 3 years. Most notably I've become very confident in myself, started to believe into my achievements. And I wanted you all to believe in yourselves too.
I really loved being here, and taking care of all of this.
During the time of this fleet, I went through a physically tough job, which I hated, where my boss committed wage theft on me. I have been in the hospital about 5 times for surgeries and painful inspections. I have lost three of my family members just last year.
And yet, during all of this, I felt no effort being wasted on taking care of you guys. I loved doing this. I loved being here.
You made me feel appreciated.

Thank you, all of you, who believed into me. You, who wanted this fleet to succeed. You, who helped us push further. You, who gave me shit for wrong decisions. You, who made this fleet become as great as it ever could be.

I will now step down from my position.
Both  basekillerwolf and  jamesthefurryfox will receive the admin role.
Ownership of the discord server will be transfered to James.

It was a very tough decision to make, since I see both Base and James as very competent for the job. Both have solid ideas about their leadership and plans for the future. Though I felt like since James has been here since November 2017 with a steady activity, he gains the right over the server as a whole. It is just a pinch more right over the other, though a meaningful one.
They can both do and edit everything. Though James is now in posession of the nuke button. If Thargoids attack, blame him.

The KarnBlueEarring PG will not be deleted, though it will be unmoderated from now on, since I will deinstall the game.

James and Base both receive access to the Elite Dangerous FA Account, the Steam Group and every piece of documentation and spreadsheets I've did.
Once James joined the Squadron on Inara, he'll be made the Squadron Commander.
Base will be made the Deputy Squadron Commander.


I will remain a regular member from now on. So there's no goodbye.
But hopefully there is a new beginning for all of us.
