If you are going to factor in dumb poo poo into the costs of losing a fully recoverable station, how would you monetize the brain damage suffered after reading the retarded poo poo you probably say during the fleets to take back the station?

Also I find it very amusing that people preach about the Imperium being evil because we don't ascribe to the same "gameplay" style as the rest of EVE and thus are not fun to fight when "make war not fun for our enemies" as been CFC/Imperium policy for years now.

If you mean whelping 15-20 man bomber gangs trying to kill unbombable T3 fleets yeah MOA seems to do okay for itself. That and the whole "we will ban you if your KB isn't green enough"

edit: MOA is literally the plat standard for retarded elite pvper's, as in they fly the most zero risk fleets and yet still find a way to lose.

Wasn't that "ban if kb isn't green" just one corp?

https://zkillboard.com/alliance/1301367357/

There's lots of red on their kb so I doubt it's an alliance wide thing. They lose lots of poorly fit ships but it seems they also regularly kill dumbos in nicer ships. Seems like a good relationship between the CFC and MoA tbh -- you trade frags and you are both happy to do so.

Almost all of MOA's actual kills are hunting ratters, which is about as fun and engaging as ratting itself but tbf it's funny as gently caress when MOA and others gangs get dunked by Theta and then the whining in local about blobbing starts.

To be effective they'd have to get used to blops/tg style "in space staging" because basing entirely out of a station simply encourages us to put a few logjams in place and say "gently caress it".

You'd be shocked at how many people are seriously uncomfortable logging out without a station or at bare minimum pos around them. Even Moa isn't particularly good at this. Meanwhile I've spent more time logged out at safespots than I have in stations. I'm pretty sure Smiling is still floating in a safe in delve.

Even Moa isn't very good at this, they disappear up their own rear end when camped into station. People have tried that to us a few times only to find out the only people actually IN the station are our carrier alts and we only have to go back to grab a new ship, ammo/jump fuel/all other caches are floating in a safespot somewhere in an anchored container.

Personally, I only log out at an inn.

They are a tiny alliance living in the shadows of the largest entity in the game. Do you expect them to square up for fleet fights? No, they will skirmish in cheap disposable doctrines and pick off dumbos, stragglers, ratters, and the like. That's what anyone in their position would do. You think what they do is boring but they probably think the same thing about the orbit+f1 nature of mega fleet fights that most CFC pilots enjoy.

Most Imperial fleet doctrines are a lot more dynamic than they used it be though (although anything is more dynamic than what we used to use) and we might have ~fashion~ doctrines soon. I mean I'm not making GBS threads on MOA for what they do, I just think they are retarded because they are terrible at it 99% of the time.

Blowing up internet spaceships is fun, no matter what kind they are or who they are flown by. Podding people with a thrasher in high sec, killing explorers in WHs with a stratios or dropping on carrier ratters with a bunch of bombers. They are all fun and they are all people that really have no chance of saving themselves if you do it right (carriers in Dek being one of the few exceptions and even then not really).

It's almost as if you believe that Theta should limit it to only a single carrier jumping to support a tackled ratter because "beating the poo poo out of people who can't fight back for extremely low effort to not be very engaging". The whole fun of Eve is that you can absolutely overwhelm your opponent. This isn't instanced combat. It's what I hate about WH society with the "5v5 t1 cruisers only, max 1 logi" arranged combat. There's nothing I want to do more than arrange that type of fight and then once engaged, bring 20 more people and smoke them. It's hilarious and fun to kill people like that.

I was. I don't remember any talk about BoB should disband to make the fights more interesting, or that MC shouldn't help BoB.

There was a lot of eye rolling whenever BoB claimed that they "hired" MC, or MC claimed to be a true mercenary corp.

Yeah, PL wants to give up their 1.5-2t a month worth of killing all over EVE to dedicate themselves to grinding their face off against 6 regions of space defended by 40k dudes. Groups like Snuff and SC want to give up their hundreds of billions in kills to go risk their HG Slave pods to fight fleets full of Tengus and Maluses.

No one wants to fight the CFC. They're getting entirely too much content NOT fighting the CFC. No one is invading your space. No one is really invading space anywhere. Your entire coalition prided itself on weaponizing boredom and you think anyone wants to fight that? My loving sides.

EDIT:

A quick stats comparison for the uninitiated.

SMA (2nd largest CFC alliance; 5,500 members): https://zkillboard.com/alliance/679584932/stats/
Snuffed Out (Largest Low Sec Alliance; 800 members): https://zkillboard.com/alliance/99004901/stats/
Pandemic Legion (Most prevalent 0.0 Nomadic PVP group, 2,500 members): https://zkillboard.com/alliance/386292982/stats/

For 2015 SMA has averaged 4,200 kills per month @ 545b killed per month.
For 2015 BBC has averaged 6,500 kills per month @ 726b killed per month.
For 2015 PL have averaged 9,400 kills per month @ 1.6t killed per month.

Why the gently caress would the low sec dudes or PL turn to null sec sov warfare for content? Here you have alliances with significantly less members than the 2nd largest CFC alliance, and they're involved in considerably more PVP content. I honestly don't think people like the Mittani understand that most people in EVE don't care about large bloc warfare in null sec. It's a poo poo source of PVP content.
