The other day a noctis started tractoring a can being used by dreads as warp in and he was instantly blown up by ~100+ dreads. Op Success~

So what do you want to be called?

Uba Stij posted:

Are you talking about being in a POS only or using a station as your base of operations, with the Orca being your suitcase?

Regardless basically you find the fights/areas and ways to provoke a fight. For the corp I'm in we went and attacked CFC & RUS POS', which made them bring out more stuff. We also did camps where we shut down routes as best we could.

I can't recall when we lost any of our suitcases, mostly because we were super careful with them.

Mostly it was 1 or 2 of each doctrine ship and a bomber and sabre for good measure. PVP characters traveled in Interceptors which also were used. Jita runs were pretty regular using cyno alts and mids so anything not brought in initially were shipped in as needed.

Thanks for the info. Did you ever find yourself living in a POS for an extended period of time, or were you always staging in NPC stations?

Waffles use NPC stations so that's what I'm basing what I said off of. I'd assume living out of a POS would just be more of a strain logistics wise with not that many benefits to make it worth while.

As a lurker (oh god, is this really my first post? gently caress me..), prior CFC scrub, GoonFoot, and semi bittervet, any chance I can pile in to this NewbieDrive™?

My Corp decided to leave CFC while I was deployed(hurr) , so that happened. But it's cool, wanted to be a goon since a I started way back when.

Why use an Orca over a carrier if you're not in W-space? Seems like it'd be far more difficult to move safely. Do Orcas actually have larger SMAs than carriers, because I can't imagine what purpose the extra cargo bay space would serve when you can just stick a Hoarder full of probes+ammo in the carrier SMA and more than make up the difference in relevant capacity.

Can actually get into highsec to a trade hub to buy everything you need and transport it in one go. Also massively reduced skill and material requirements for movement.

I suppose, although it's a hell of a lot easier to move 1-2 travel-fit combat ships through highsec than it is to move an Orca with a 30s align around nullsec. The skill threshold is a valid reason, but it isn't as though you need JDC V to make a carrier far safer and more functional.

I've done the whole living-out-of-a-carrier thing (which worked fine with fairly minimal jump skills), and I can't imagine lugging something as slow as a Orca around instead. Do you actually have someone scout ahead and then web them into warp with your main, or do you just MWD pulse and hope nothing shows up in 20 seconds?

N3 breakout just failed miserably, they brought in TEST in Caracals, BNI in Thoraxes, NC. in Dominixes, and Nulli in Dominixes as well. Even with these 4-5 alliances involved, we rubbed the fact were here simply to cause them pain a little further in.

Confirming that inty fight in 0-W was awesome. Our FC was some 16 year old kid, too.

Ever flown with Lelob from Sniggerdly? Dude was like 14-15 tops when I flew with him. This was during the golden age of the hurricane and sniper HAC though so you could pretty much just understand the concept of aligning and get unlimited kills. Pretty much demolished all of Test.

In one week I went from not ever playing EVE before to doing something that matters and having enough ISK that stupid noob mistakes don't matter too much.

Join Goonwaffe.

Congrats on avoiding the terrible life of high sec; It drains your soul. It wont be long before you are an official bitter vet in Theta. Actually join Theta now for more free stuff and elite pee vee pee.

Vouches are meant for people who know a Goonwaffe member in real life. So your only option is to post more, and integrate, or just simply :getout:.

There is always Groon, and Syndicate is more fun than sov war bullshit anyways.

Mhm, so that was why TEST was blue all of a sudden and spent some time making GBS threads up local at BNI Central. And here people were wondering what that was all about... :ms:

As somebody said earlier (was it in the other thread?), there are quite a number of people in BRAVE who aren't "newbies" by any stretch of the imagination, neither SP-wise, money-wise nor in the game in general. So you get some people who have been FC'ing in other places before, and for other alliances, with BNI basically being a melting pot by now. That said, I had a very good one the other day. He was calm, collected, had good overview and gave good instruction (there are plenty of newbies, after all).
