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.
Anyone that powertrips over what ship someone brings is a fuckhead who should have commissar privileges taken away. People bring whatever ships they want, deal with it. So they were going through a wormhole chain, tell the guy who brought the BS that he's last to jump through the hole every time and if it collapses on him then tough poo poo.

Considering that it was a stupid pos-shoot anyways, the nightmare was a better ship than any number of useless things he could have brought.


(The moral of the story is when bringing a comedy ship to a fleet FCed by a pubbie with a stick up his rear end, don't ask for permission. Just wait until the fleet undocks and let him decide if he wants to make a fuss over it.)

Letting pubbies pull the triggers on goons because they let a little bit of SPACE POWER go to their heads seems pretty BoB like to me. I mean its not pulling the trigger on whole alliances because of "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!?!" but its a start. Also this is coming from the place that literally has a guy who brings a megathron to every op. Who has a fleet named after him even. Hopefully cooler heads prevail and do the right thing, reimbursing Pooki Bear and giving oxygen a stern talking to purging this pubstar from the fleet. There may not be DBRB's coming out of the woodwork to keep the bloated corpse of your gay RMT space empire going but it doesn't mean you have to resort to employing subpar sperglords who can't take a joke to grind that POS m8m8m8m8.

Also using tengus to grind pos is loving retarded. Shoulda used ishtars, no reloading required and much cheaper.

If someone shows me a nightmare fit that approximates a tengu's tank, speed, and damage application or fills some other useful role I don't give a gently caress if they bring it on my fleet.

That said, if after telling you to gently caress off for whatever reason, including me being a dumb baby, and giving you a clear statement about my intentions, you brought it anyways because you're too determined to be an autistic snowflake, I'd shoot it because:
1) I can
2) I told you I would
3) I've always wanted to kill a Nightmare
4) gently caress you

Nothing to do with killboards or fleet comps.

I'd be fully on pooki's side of the debate if oxygen didn't say anything first, but afaik he said 'I'm going to kill you if you bring that' and then it happened anyways. The difference lies in using reasonable discretion for when to pull out the commissar's pistol, I think.

I haven't been in a position to make a shootblues call for about 2 years, however, unless that nightmare was a strategic op liability, big-boy-undies skirmish FCs can't just shoot anyone for any reason. He doesn't need to save the nightmare if it's slow and gets tackled by some pursuit gang, because "hey, I said tangus/inties/dictors, not fat slow bling boats, dumbass." That's no excuse to fuckgoons and shootblues. Furthermore, he's licensed the 30+ people with him to shootblues for petty reasons, which (thankfully) means more drama to come, but (unfortunately) will lead to pissed off leadership who are going to have to deal with it. I'm looking directly at the SNOO dbags who shot the pod.

Anyways to distract from dumb FC drama, reddit just posted stat changes for modules from sisi. Afterburners and MWDs already got revealed on the forums, but surprise they did shield extenders and armor plates too.

RIP meta 4 stuff. Armor plates get slightly worse overall, MSEs & LSEs stay about the same, SSEs are no longer completely useless (but still mostly useless). The low-sig LSE could be pretty cool for cruisers?

Yeah, Fozzie announced back at Fanfest that shield extenders and plates would be coming Soon(TM). I've been sitting on a stockpile of them for months. :)

Speaking of CCP Prenerf, they just announced that they're getting rid of the ineffectual shield HP bonus on the Jackdaw and replacing it with something really interesting: 15% reduction in reload time per level. 2.5sec reloads/ammoswitches at Caldari Tactical Destroyer V.

Yeah faction plates got a big boost. Shield extenders less so (republic fleet, screwed again).

But I wouldn't worry about it too much, they're FW store items so the price is way more about the value of LP & tags than any real rarity. The spike will get smoothed over pretty fast.

For good return you need to be like :ullerrm: and be buying this stuff well before it's announced. With faction stuff from LP stores you need to be working with buy orders for good returns, not grabbing stock off the market. Your source for bargains are people who convert their LP and sell immediately for the cash. There are other faction items that will do the same thing whenever metacide gets around to them. Just look for faction gear that's not a clear improvement over T2, those are gonna get buffs.

This is really interesting, and definitely an unusual bonus. Jackdaw Javelin rockets can already hit out to 25km without much trouble, it would be really interesting to be able to swap between those and Rage as easily as it is to swap modes.

I realize you're being cheeky and all, but seriously, backing the dumb FC who shoots people that want to go on stratops to shoot a POS is a level beyond.

I'm less upset about pooki losing a nightmare, and more puzzled that the leadership seemed to lock shields around a dumb call by this skirmish FC.
