Unfortunately, the directorate is convinced that it was a bug that caused the sov loss due to their failure to fully investigate the matter. Not that they can be blamed (for once), since Delve was on fire and there wasn't really much time to fully ponder exactly why we had lost sov. Now, under downtime, we may rest and gather information. I have done so for your benefit.
Here's what happened: all of the systems that were lost were the ones with TCUs that were seeded by CCP. Their sov bills all came in at once - today. So how did we lose our space? The same way xdeathx now confirms that he lost his sov. He, too, set auto bill pay up like we did. However, he fucked up and had the alliance's money in the wrong wallet division. Since the bills could not be paid, the TCUs all unanchored at the same time.
His TCUs all unanchored at the same time as ours. This isn't a coincidence. Since his TCUs and our TCUs were all seeded by CCP at the same time, they all unanchored at the same time as the bill became overdue. We had billions of isk in the wallet, but the autopay thing defaults to the master wallet. What probably happened is the corp's sov isk was placed in a wallet divison that would allow a few directors to have access without giving them the whole farm, but the bill pay system was set to the master wallet (by default). So it attempted to pay from the wrong division, failed, and unanchored our TCUs.
This can't be 100% confirmed until one of the few directors who have full access check (they're all on vacation). But we can probably assume that the same thing that happened to xdeathx happened to us. I don't think we're so special as to have our very own bug.
So, the bad news:
We lost NOL, F-T, I1Y, 1-s, and a few stations in querious. Also our JB system is dead and most of our important jammers are gone. Years of hard work literally ruined by a failure to check a box.
The good news:
(5:25:38 AM) dabigredboat: if this doesn't roll back ill be quiting
(5:25:41 AM) dabigredboat: 99% sure
(5:26:14 AM) dabigredboat: goons dont care about eve
(5:26:18 AM) dabigredboat: they care about themselves
(5:26:24 AM) dabigredboat: or making bad posts
Good night, and good luck.
Edit2: We've recovered 4 out of 15 stations that we lost sov in.
