It would be great if they made supers and higher more impactful in PvE. It used to be my favorite aspect of the game, but now it has lost its spark. Killed so much gameplay attached to that.

Dirac Fourier posted:Yea, my brother and I have been living in a C4 for most of the year. Except for a praxis I lost while I was drunk and a venture I lost while I was asleep, nobody has messed with me. I just moved into a C4 5/4 by myself after a five-year hiatus, I kept thinking to myself c4 ratting can't be as bad as people were saying, and boy was I wrong.

Pff posted:New 6 hour down the rabbit hole video on Eve. I fell off when he started detailing ship slot levels. I assume he's constructed some kind of comprehensive video tutorial. Photos of the 90s and stories of epic crunch were neat though. I didn't know anything about EVE except the occasional news story about people losing a bunch of money in a big battle, but I've been watching this video and I'm about halfway through. I didn't know goons loomed so large in the game's history! That's cool. It sounds like the goons have splintered into multiple alliances; is that right? If so, I'd be curious how many different ones exist and how they're distinct from one another. Seems like the original goon alliance was united for a lot longer than most other major groups, at least.

Das Butterbrot posted:umm yeah, about that... BRAVE has put recruitment on hold until our move south is finished afaik. B3 is dissolving/joining the Imperium. By Brave do you mean Brave or B3? Can people stop referring to B3 as Brave? it's very confusing, yes I know everyone does the same for goons but still. Booshway posted:I just moved into a C4 5/4 by myself after a five-year hiatus, I kept thinking to myself c4 ratting can't be as bad as people were saying, and boy was I wrong. it's not that bad, is it? if you were expecting C5 income then that's your fault, but it's better than c3, the ranges do suck though. Just get an MJD paladin and Dirac Fourier posted:Not sure, I only started living in wormholes this year after playing EVE for many years. Hopefully someone else will answer your question. I would like to know as well. It has really always been like that, the amount of wormhole systems (2604) is very large compared to the number of players living there. It has been better, but always was and always will be very empty. and that's the way we like it.

Basically, the goon groups are as follows: Goonswarm Federation: (also known as Goonswarm, Goonwaffe, or GoonFleet) is the most well-known one, and the one you would've seen in the video. 99% of the people in it now are pubbies. Clockwork Pineapple: is/was a goon group, and is now thoroughly dead. Goosefleet: is a newish goon group (circa 2022,) and does a bunch of different stuff with most of the games goon population. They're cool (I'm in them currently.) There are also goons in different non-goon-focused groups.

BRAVE is BRAVE because B3 doesn't exist as of Saturday. Besides, B3 was a coalition and coalitions don't tend to do recruiting. You see GSF recruiting, but not The Imperium as a collective entity

I'll never forget the day when I was solo ratting in a passive Rattlesnake in a C4 Pulsar and a Proteus decloaked...then his friends didn't show up until after I'd cleared the last wave of rats while chatting with him in local. They tried. I didn't die. Eventually we exchanged pleasantries and they left.

finally managed to use a cap for something other than rolling a hole (evacing stuff from a disused station) and managed to do just about everything wrong except getting caught. I remember starting playing in 2013 and seeing all the big giant ships and thinking "oh boy i can wait until i can fly one of those awesome ships " and now the thought of buying one is a solid "lol, lmao"

I've got a nid, mino & rev navy full to the brim with ships, mods, moon goo and god knows what else, a freighter and jump freighter full to the brim with BPOs, cap parts, gas and even more stuff, multiple epithals filled with decent PI I can sell *and* I'm still going to send 1m m3 into asset safety until I can pick it up later

I just tried a railgun Kronos for the first time this morning on three frontier barracks in a C4. Cleared each site in 10 minutes and didn't need to use my MJD. C4 is a pretty good fit for me because they get ignored and I am ok with the PVE content there.

Did Brave give a reason why they finally feel comfortable throwing their lot in with the Imperium, rather than repeating their history of "going their own way" and immediately shacking up with the worst personalities this game has to offer?

The Rohk is actually good now. I like the MJDs. You can plink at folks from 200+km away while a buddy scrams/paints em with an uncatchable inty and drones and it's just funny. This game is good. I like it. I died tho, doesn't matter.

Maybe blasters will be ok on frontier barracks because the spawns weren’t too far away. Idk about frontier command posts. My brother was telling the spawns are further out on that one so maybe stuck with rails there. Rails performed pretty well for me though. I would be ok to keep using rails.

I think it's fair to say that Groomswarm was bad, but a lot of the galaxy was abundantly worse, and the contrast let them skate by how are things going these days? not just with "we finally deposed the sex pest" but with the casual transphobia and other general insecure chuddism
