For those of you not aware, last night long time Spectre FC Ashurman passed away from cancer. He was one of the original FCs of our community and his contribution to its growth and success is something that cannot be understated. Every FC has their niche and Ash’s was fun. From new bros to vets giving Spectre a shot Ash would throw them a dirt cheap t1 frig then roam till they’d all whelped into a provi response gang, but not before taking more than their share with them. They’d all pod back to Amarr and do it all over again. Its fleets like his that grew the community and gave community to many just finding their start or a fresh start to those that were in search of something new. Ash’s toon can now be found in Doomheim, having stripped every one of his nearly 7yr toons for their SP that in turn was donated new players. That is the kind of person he was and one those fortunate enough to know him will miss dearly.
As is our Eve tradition we will remember him by the way he flew and go blow up as much as we can, then do it again till we’re out. This is currently my hanger in Jita with more on the way to keep things going for the night. So what you need to know if you want to join in:
