Did Oxygen's Tengufleet even achieve anything (besides shooting Pooki), or did it just turn around like all the other ones? After a 45+ minutes formup I just left.

no, as soon as they shot me they turned around and went home. The reasons oxygen gave for me not going were it wouldn't fit through the WH which was a lie and he didn't want my lossmail sullying his battlereport. So he killed me then went back to ya0

What does this box do?
Yeah, I don't doubt his skill and resistance to burnout (just as important), but I kinda stopped going on his fleets because the handful of times I did go he was kind of the stereotypical thin-skinned primadonna FC (plus racial slurs, which is a pet peeve of mine). I'd rather rat up some cash to save for a triage chimera or go scanning for wormholes.

We wasted a lot of Spike M and Navy Irridium failing to get a tower to reinforce so Reavers could allegedly "finish it off" later. To be fair, the fact the like a third of the fleet was intercetors and T1 frigates kind of hurt. It was a flashback to BRAVE. Karmafleet was mostly not even there so I dont know why no one could fly a Tengu. There was one dude in a Tengu with meta 4 guns.

The difference is, Surebet's app was rejected and he doesn't seem to have noticed. Unfortunately for him, he is not fine.

Weird thing is, I was rejected too. Took me a few days to notice since the only indication is the in-game alert. I reapplied in-game and got in within the hour. v:shobon:v

I agree. There might have been a lot of moaning but him as the FC still brought the Nightmare along. He can't just call foul later on and blow it up without accepting responsibility.

To my understanding he did kick it from fleet and the guy rejoined and then he asked permssion to commissar it. I wasnt privy to the conversation though.

Any reason you want to do solo things? I'd just join fleets and learn how to tackle and about fleet mechanics. If you really want to solo, you could shoot some red boxes in high sec or find yourself in low sec.

Understandable, but there's really no better way to get into PVP and learning about the game than joining them. This is assuming that you want to PVP, because if you want to mine, then I can't really help you there (don't mine).

People will teach you. There's virtually no downside to having an extra guy in a frigate who doesn't know what he's doing, and a whole lot of upside to having the same guy 3+ months later.

We sat docked waiting for numbers for 45 minutes. Pookie asked and was told "No" you cannot bring a loving nightmare.

Pookie did so anyway.

Pookie was told it might get blown up if he didn't bring something useful.

Pookie came anyway.

I don't really feel too bad.

I did feel a bit worse when my sabre bubbled his rear end. I was dual boxing a scimi and a sabre so to offset my karma, I kept shield repping.

Then, and here's the part I regret, I asked "what's the story on his pod?" and I got back "I don't care."

Hence:

Nightmare: https://zkillboard.com/kill/46723172/
Pod: https://zkillboard.com/kill/46723177/

Edit: Crap, I forgot to contract him the poo poo that dropped. I didn't pull the trigger quickly enough on the AB, but the t2 stuff I grabbed.

You've got a reimbursement of 1bil isk a month to chew through, so throw your frigates into the enemy. I don't know if GSF has actual classes for stuff like spiralling, slingshotting, traversal and effective scouting (might just be wiki pages?) but if you want solo or small gang stuff, look up Space Violence. If you want to experience awful pos grinding in the equivalent of the french foreign legion, join Reavers and take one of their frigate roles. And if you just want to self-improve, ship a bunch of those frigates to one of the Faction Warfare zones (Ullerrm recommended a good system in this thread) and start losing ships. Think about how to improve each time, and ask threads like this for assistance.

What faction's frigate skill have you got trained? and what weapon systems? Caldari frigate V is the most useful (harpyfleet, cawkfleet) but any of them work.

He recommended Osoggur, Heimatar. Not that it's easy to ship poo poo from YA0 to there, but it is two jumps out of Rens. Buy stuff in Rens and pay a pubbie a buck to drag it to Osoggur for you. That would be a good place to blow some of your :shobon: isk.

Not for tech i frigs, but who cares, they're basically free. The tormentors that I have been losing cost 6.5 million on sells. Reimbursement starts on faction and tech ii frigs.

Here's a legitimate question: Why were you so interested in bringing the battleship to the tengufleet op? It didn't turn out to be much of a stratop, but you were told repeatedly that it wasn't welcome. I won't want to fan the flames, I'm curious as to your rationale.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Not obeying or ignoring the FCs orders has traditionally been a perfect reason to commissar someone, but shooting someone for bringing a ship that doesn't fit your comp AFTER leaving the staging system when you could just dump him from your fleet to begin with is pretty dumb.

That said, goons have always been happier than a 3rd Reich German to shoot goons when given an order or green light.
