To be fair we havent really had a real war since 2013 anyways, everyone just runs away or instantly collapses into a fetal position. PL is the only decent enemy left.

Without the wrecking ball though how much punch does PL really have? They took their good fleet fighting stuff out behind the shed and shot it in the head with a shotgun years ago and replaced it with super superiority.

He was hellpurged from Topgoon for the same reason that he was (allegedly) hellpurged from Space Violence. That's why I'm surprised he's still tolerated in any way.

Conversation has moved on but I've been thinking about posting a thread on the forums (if there isn't one) about playing other games with all you lovable people. I just got GTA V for PC and it is dragging me away from Eve. If any of you want to dick around you can add me on Steam, steam name is the same as here. I didn't want to come across as trying to take away from the H1Z1 stuff but it sounds like this actually fits into that idea. Come do some gay heists and gently caress with pubbies with me.

My understanding is that Goonwaffe exists to let Goons do whatever they want in Eve, and that the ~empire~ is, to some extent, a means to that end. Some Goons want to fart around in wormholes with other Goons. Holesquad provides them with that opportunity.

That being said, it's not like we aren't interested in helping out. I know a lot of my guys still have mainfleet alts, and I'm training one up myself (I'm a big fan of Harpies :3:).

Holesquad is the same thing, except I'd argue they aren't even GoonFleet since they are their own entire subculture.

Holesquad has been in its current iteration for what, 8 months now? And we still can't even get fcon or bastion to set us blue which makes it pretty tough to participate in anything. We're still getting killed by blues that we aren't shooting at. We have holes to various nullsec all the time and the only people who have ever asked us to come participate in things have been SV/groon and those times have been hilarious and successful. We're still GSF, we'd all be happy to come shoot men and be "complimentary" to mainfleet, but for one thing we need to be set blue to everyone and for another thing you need to ask so we know what you want.

And getting reimbursed for dying at mainfleet poo poo wouldnt hurt either but since we don't really use the same doctrines that's kind of whatever

To be fair to Are Valued Allies, we haven't had the auth/API tools in place to 100% guarantee security. Soon, though. Soon. Maybe we can revisit blueing once they're in place.

Until then, FCON will probably remain our most consistent killer. :\

Yeah i wasn't really attempting to come off like "gently caress you dad I'm not going on your stratop," I just don't really find the sort of content that has provided lately very interesting.

For what it's worth the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is fozziesov making that sort of strategic stuff on an alliance level actually interesting and fresh instead of how it is now.

I don't really get the SV hate, let's be honest for every 10 people who only troll around syndicate there are 100 who AFK rat in dek all day.

Slavery.

It sure felt like that and I got burned out of the game pretty quickly after joining Destructive Influence.

Fast forward half a decade, I am now in a scrub tier low sec alliance and it is much more chilled.
But low sec is turning nauseous too with that retard league power bloc struggle for moons and POCOs. It's always the same alliances fighting eachother in blinged fleets and the other small fish have to make some kind of coallitions to be able to keep up.
And by keep up I mean retaining enough ressources to pay for the SRP to defend said ressources :bang: .

Hail SS-18 Satan may he cleanse us with nuclear fire

PISS TAPE IS REAL

So, was the new Confessor fit basically to go with 10mn AB and beams for kiting, or am I misreading the old thread a bit? I was really digging the pulse fits, but I feel like getting in brawling range is going to be pretty dodgy in the meta right now. I'm bad at solo anyway, so I'd love some guidance if anyone has some for me for doing more to learn on my own through hilarious failures.

Went on a roam led by FCON last night, which was different but fun. I want to say the last fleet I went on before that was either a mainfleet or maybe lemba/boat. Seems like everyone is just waiting for new sov, but I'd love to go stomp around MOA areas again. That's always good for a laugh.

Already in theta, I missed the last one unfortunately. I tried to do my "goon f1 duty" a few times when I was new to the whole giant fleet thing, and goddamn was tidi a ball buster. I'll still do it, I'm just not all starry eyed about it now. On the other hand, watching people who should know better get :commissar: for bumping the titan is still grin-worthy and never gets old.

Either I completely misunderstand how to effectively fit a stratios, or that is hands down the worst stratios I have ever seen. Someone please tell me that there's some sort of hidden meaning that I'm just to dumb to see.
