The use of 'autism' in Eve has evolved to a point where it's just as dumb a term as 'content'. - blinging out a ship with expensive poo poo makes it an 'autism chariot'. - spending time doing a dumb, repetitive action is autistic - being proficient/knowledgeable in a game mechanic or aspect is autistic if you're on the other team and writing about it - being wrong about something you think you're proficient/knowledgeable in is autistic - being dumb is autistic - being a person who no longer can keep track of the meanings of 'autism' in Eve and making lists about it is autistic It's basically like that Starcraft sperglord streamer dude uses it, it's just this year's favorite placeholder word.

If anything, that makes it worse: you're taking a very real neurological condition that costs $$$ a year in specialist care and education and causes a shitload of woe for all involved and reducing it to a throwaway word. But then again, this is EVE we're discussing, a world where the moment someone finds out you're trans, you can expect to see exty billion hatemails everytime you log in (like what happened to a corpmate of mine). It's a cretin's paradise. Back to Aegis: everything I've seen so far is just bluster meant to cover up the fact that Goonfleet would rather camp freight corridors like Uedama and Niarja than actually work to keep their sov gains, and now that CCP has levelled the playing field for the pubbies there's been the proverbial wailing and gnashing of teeth from Fountain to Delve. You want to keep the sov trolls away from your precious POSes? Less camping, more consolidation. Pull your fleet assets inward, kiss goodbye what systems you can't or don't want to hold and put your fleet assets and outposts on alert until people get tired of trying to entosis your poo poo every five minutes. tl;dr learn to herd cats or lose at eve

Sort of like dank which I barely comprehend, and my personal new favorite triggered, which now gets used to mean offensive, versus something that recalls a traumatic event/experience. People get left out of using the cool new buzzword so its meaning expands until everyone can use it in some context but it has little meaning anymore.

Goonswarm is well known for being a family friendly group who makes every attempt to accomadate those who are offended by outrageous behaviour, in fact Vyst personally deals with every issue of offence. So if anything said by a GSF member could be deemed "offensive" or "triggers" you, be sure to pm him with all of the details so the offending party can be kicked.

It's possible, just not with the fit that appears in the fitting window…   Getting it to exactly 3.0 is the tricky part, and while that part really depends on the precision of the info window and it's usually more precise than just two significant digits.

I liked PushX. They were much more flexible than Red Frog in their provided services, but I guess this is what happens when you pick sides against the nullsec bloc with a dedicated highsec freighter ganking organisation. I'm gonna assume that "we can no longer offer insurance on your deliveries because we lose too many freighters" is probably the death rattle of a shipping company.ScreamingLlama posted:Back to Aegis: everything I've seen so far is just bluster meant to cover up the fact that Goonfleet would rather camp freight corridors like Uedama and Niarja than actually work to keep their sov gains, and now that CCP has levelled the playing field for the pubbies there's been the proverbial wailing and gnashing of teeth from Fountain to Delve.

Lower cost than RFF and offered great customer service. But they shouldn't have picked sides, thought about sov or ever gotten into cap building.

NÉE formed after the founder dude came back and the pilots from push that haven't quit eve have gone to NEE. Edit: I didn't actually answer the question. They are politically neutral, which is why they broke off from Pushx. They still do galactic east / south shipments, usually stopping at the nullsec jump out points (Rayl, Mendori, Zinkon, etc), but don't have any official relationships with any of these organizations that inhabit that space. They're doing pretty well. They get ganked every now and then, but we're not targeting them, not like we do with pushx or rff.
