The FALL Of The Biggest Trade Empire in Gaming History | EVE Online

If you enjoyed the Video please leave a like and sabscrkibe
EVE Online is home to many stories, but the Tranquility Trading Tower, or short TTT, seemed like a standing stone that wouldn't go away. But with 1 single change in their patch, this once mighty trade Empire has fallen and ended in a single night. Goonswarm Federation claims it is to allow smaller groups to open up their own independent trading station and end this "crime against EVE" once and for all. But is it all that is behind this? One thing is for certain: The Tranquility Trading Consortium seems to have fallen.

Init was not part of the TTT by itself but as a member of Imperium, also it was brought forth Test should be removed and B2/3 should be added in its place as they out form test and test isn’t and hasn’t been significant in some time. Several members of TTT said no so Imperium said time to kill rare one off kills for fun.

[@seankeen2865]

As a former test member it's dead

[@adnan4688]

​@@seankeen2865Funny thing how you wanted to kill us,and you died trying. Now I hunt whatever is left of you in lowsec FW plexes 😂

[@TheKauff]

So, there was an interesting real-world economic component to the TTT, as it was a tax haven similar to real-world tax havens just outside of major trade hubs like NYC. There was a video on this a few years back. Will there be another similar structure that compares in trade volume?

If TTC decides not to defend It, the hull timer might become one of the "biggest battles in eve history" while other side is not present. I want to be on the killmail and I think I am not the only one

[@The-Lovelace-Covenant]

get in a cheap destroyer and go criminal on the keepstar

[@porphyr]

and because of that I think it will live. All the people trying to get on the killmail might simply crash the server.

[@The-Lovelace-Covenant]

Looking at the active wars, the TTC is definitely being defended. Both Blackflag and SRS are defenders. And to my surprise PIRAT is back in the picture cuz they are also defending the Keepstar.

@@The-Lovelace-Covenant Well, It was both being defended and undefended today. Schrödinger Keepstar

[@The-Lovelace-Covenant]

@ If you look at each individual battle report, they are duking it out. I heard the TTC paid Blackflag handsomely for their services, so why wouldnt they defend it?

[@2SeamFastball]

Thanks for the video, I'm a relatively new player who doesn't know the history at all. This really helps.

Thank you a ton. I am kinda trying out different content types as I am trying to move away from just Guides. I kinda didn't make a guide in a while but I did finish most topics I wanted to touch, but maybe I should do some more in regards to pvp.

Goonswarm being both an enemy and a troll that likes helping out the economy is a thing that surprises me.

[@cmdrbrackson]

Hey Ho! Quick question out of curiosity: I can hear a slight accent in your voice. May I know from where in the world you are? To make a start: I'm from Germany. On and off playing EVE since 2017 (more off than on until maybe a year ago, then a bit more, but still consider myself a very bloody noob ^^). Edit: Quite forgot to tell you what a good video you made. I left a like and a sub for now. Until next time!

[@MrJernej33]

Love the victoria soundrack in the bacground

[@CMDR_Verm]

Personally I did not know this consortium was running/profiting from the TTT. If so, bloody good riddance. I'll take the tax loss and risk Jita's gankers until there is an alternative. Excellent video and thank you for the info, you've got a sub from me.

[@MateKillFeed]

I am missing the Goblin sounding like "ME!" in the Corp advert. :(

[@randaldavis8976]

Flying with Init and doing my part. Did he say jump ?

[@TrampyPulsar]

I think its more so a bigger play to move trade away from Jita and closer to Goon's home.

[@EliteShadowable]

After the nerfs, the amount of money the big alliances only split roughly 50bil a month (less so for smaller alliances). After they let the station get blown up, they're going to anchor smaller stations with similar revenue. The true winners of this decision is black flag. The large alliance attack dogs of highsec only require 30 ppl to efficiently take on 100's while also destroying smaller stations and "earning" a cut of the future stations to come.

[@caseylp7121]

Love the genshin music :)

[@zeehero7280]

To be fair having a lower tax alternate market hub right next to Jita made it very difficult for CCP to address pressing issues with the economic tools in the game.

[@Shiftry87]

No doubt some groups are gonna try and put up a new trade hub in the area but the ide of trading in Eve gonna split up its centralization from Jita its just not gonna happen. If a player run very established trade hub for years with pretty mutch 0% tax just 1 jump from Jita couldent make itself the main trade hub in the game, a few starter stations for sure isent gonna stand a chans. No doubt they could make it profitable, but taking even just a few % of its overall trade away from Jita isent gonna happen unless the devs remove the station themselfs. Its gonna be intresting as wars could be fought around these new stations in HS and while i dont think any1 would enjoy the potential server lag, it would present an oppertunity for HS players to maybe se war fleets getting around and trying there hand on some piracy/salvaging by looting high value destroyed ships if it happens.

@@kuroitenshi1632 Thats a wild story. just like this mythical Jita people keep going on about.

You should try coming down to the south where Amarr has all the best deals, the skies are like sunset and the women are freindlier.

[@porphyr]

wasn't Fraternity also a part of the consortium?

[@i-401_yt]

Later on I think but TEST obviously never got removed.

[@law7116]

I'd imagine a super fleet of vargurs and other marauders can break it easy.

[@emoment1088]

Unlikely after the marauder "rebalance" (nerf) 60s bastion, less local reps, and no more ewar resistances will probably stop that from happening

[@i-401_yt]

If I read it right you need 600k dps or so to pause it.

[@GVUEpi]

It does not matter which ships will be used... The amount of ppl shooting this Cita will be enough that even if they all fly stilettos most of the dmg will deflect.

[@interstellarvulpes7789]

Lol it's still impossible due to the Merc groups in HS.

[@Inspire-Meditate]

It's just going to be replaced by another similar consortium.

[@GVUEpi]

There is no other consortium. Of course there will be player owened markets. But the catch with the ttc was that the potential numbers they would put on grid to defend the ttt are much greater than every possible enemy.

[@berdstet1361]

If you have good caldari standing, you have a order tax of 1.05% or so on jita4. So not much of a loss for most traders.

[@sureno1833]

How do you get from 8 to 1%?

[@Shiftry87]

@@sureno1833 Mostly alot of trading skills and Caldari reputation also helps.

[@huntingfighteroramara]

Honestly this has been some time but the decision of goons on this is dumb, goons have no way to project a permanent threat to Perimeter due to the distance from it so they're basically just giving up a lot of ISK there while Horde and Fraternity both live within just 15 jumps from jita and can just build new forts up there and protect them to have the money for themselves without sharing with goons 😂
