BingoBoingo: Most of the boxe's power ended up simply being a sort of "fleet in being" reserve.

asciilifeform: 'fleet in being'(tm)(r)

mircea_popescu: Mocky yes, actually. both as current "checkpoint" mechanism and otherwise. but you gotta also familiarize self with "fleet in being" concept, discussed in logs pluriously.

asciilifeform: sorta ugly, and not released, kept 'fleet in being' in case we gotta jump off fleanode ahead of schedule ( there isn't imho esp. much use for it outside of this )

asciilifeform: one gotcha is that the immediate practical ( vs 'fleet in being' ) value of such a thing is ~0.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-17#1685436 << life-as-neverending-wrestling-match is a very expensive thing, that afaik was not lived out in practice by anybody at all -- samurai included. in practice everybody does some combination of actually squaring off and 'fleet in being'. which eventually converges to britain. ☝︎

asciilifeform: '50k bullets', if useful at all, are only so as 'fleet in being' -- 'damocle's sword could Smite You Any Day Of The Week' etc

asciilifeform: solely as 'fleet in being' effect

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 'fleet in being'

asciilifeform: !#s fleet in being

asciilifeform: trb miner is mircea_popescu's 'fleet in being'

asciilifeform: would also have a secondary 'fleet in being' effect

mod6: "In naval warfare, a "fleet in being" is a naval force that extends a controlling influence without ever leaving port."

mircea_popescu: mod6 you understand what i mean by "fleet in being" ?

mircea_popescu: in this sense, a good iB in back pocket as you say plays the strategic role of "fleet in being", in that it protects the old shit from too violent a crisis.

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i suppose should prolly call it fleet in being for historical reasons, but anywya. << gotcha

mircea_popescu: "A Sansha super carrier called a Revenant is worth approx. 300bil ISK due to being rare in the game. Probably worth more now due to the recent loss from Grath in Pandemic Legion. 1st person to lose one. Seems to be a setup, where Black Legion had a massive fleet waiting to counter drop them."
