Escaping R-AG7W

 So, Horde leadership has completely abandoned any attempt at mounting escape from the dying Keepstar, and Goons have relentlessly "hell-camped" the keep, which involves surrounding it with bubbles and caps like so:

The camp is so complete, that there is no way I can escape. I thought I could sneak my blockade runner next door to XU7 to grab my blueprints and escape to lowsec, but under these circumstances that's impossible.

So I only have 1 option, put all of my stuff in asset safety and then I can grab it from a lowsec station in 20 days for a fee of 15% of the value. In this case for my industry character everything comes to about 1Bn, so it'd be about 150mil.

For my other characters though I  will probably be hit with a bill of about 15Bn. Ouch.

I think what bothers me about this is the way that leadership has screwed up so much to the point of making escape impossible. I've done this sort of thing several times over the years and never been caught, with or without caps. I even escaped Catch when it was being beseiged by PL with a Thanatos before citadels, where I had to resort to safe spots and cloaks to get to lowsec. But this time the announcement was so sudden, so public, and there was absolutely no attempt to push goons off the undock that there is nothing I can do. Which annoys me. Your stuff is always at risk in EVE, but there is almost always counterplay. Almost.

Once I've got everything out I really don't think I'll stick with Horde. There doesn't seem to be a plan for the future, nevermind the next few days. There doesn't seem to be an excited successor to Gobbins, or anything to really get behind. This feels like the death of the Alliance in real time. I had grand plans to PANIC my Rorqual somewhere in tether to try and get a window to help a few people escape, but the capitulation has been so total that it's pointless. Which is really sad for an alliance of this size.

Anyway, I'll regroup my assets in lowsec, get my industry guy to highsec and look to the future. A future where I'm no longer in Pandemic Horde in any capacity.
