Ullerm did you see what EVE_NT guys are doing on top of EVE_NT Collides?

I'm sorta happy they're picking up the void that SCL left and actually making it more interesting/entertaining. I really like the rules for the Collides matches.
The Eve_NT format is pretty good and a nice change of pace from the AT so I certainly hope this works out well, but it seems like it's going to require a lot of time investment from CCP to police matches unless they build an automated tool for checking for implants/drugs and legal modules, and hand over a modded client with all the tournament tools to the people running the show.

I do know like only two CCPers who like doing tournaments help out for Collides matches so maybe it won't require a bunch of work since they have that support somewhat? They only do Collides once a month which is a tragedy to me since weekly matches would own so hard but then you're in the realm of turning EVE into a game like StarCraft or whatever which is a point of contention.

Honestly if someone took the complex fitting/builds of EVE and made an arena PVP game I think a ton of people would have fun with it. I know moba's exist but none of them are spaceship mobas :smith:

Edit - Fractured Space is sort of what I'm thinking, but less grindy for the actual modules you can use.

If you think about it, we indirectly have the people of r/eve by the balls. They can't go a single day without at least a couple of "Grr Goons" posts it seems. Manipulating their hatred to our benefit would not be an infeasible task.

you bet your rear end that people would be interested in this weird rear end space game if there were weekly pro style tournaments. all i could think about watching worlds collide was that this is a thing that needs more exposure plus the gimmick of 'its actually a sandbox and these are just dudes slugging it out with their own poo poo' is probably enough to get some people interested

The opposite is also quite true; this threand and r/eve are a metaphorical battered womens shelter- outsiders are still trying to figure out who's the victim though.

Billy Merc wanted to gently caress goons over with the VFK stunt. The only people that got hosed over was the ISRAD camp in VFK who was now counter camped by 1k people 24/7 and the unfortunate souls who had to listen to DBRB ramble on for days. Mission success, goons hosed.

That headshot attempt was the last time I had actual fun in Eve. Shame it turned out to be such a poorly planned damp squib. I remember scouting out the PL staging towers and wondering why the hell half of them were completely unarmed :downs:

Staging towers are temporary, they either get blown up or taken down and redeployed elsewhere, having to unanchor guns or any POS mods for that matter is the most awful thing in EVE (with Corp Roles and the Reaction Interface as close seconds).

The real reason behind that is most of PL was expecting to go into a quiet cycle. PL runs in bursts where it will chimp out and have 200 timers on the board getting poo poo done in the fastest means possible. By the time VFK occurred we had literally just done a circuit of EVE. We started by deploying from Curse and killed almost everything from Scalding Pass down to Paragon Soul. After that, we moved over to Delve for a truncated quiet time then deployed to destroy the North under contract from the DRF to kill the Northern Coalition. When VFK rolls around all the belligerents were leaving. NC. Raiden and DRF were all leaving for other opportunity and this left PL alone to grind down Dekelin and the rest of the North.

Bmerc expected to just take VFK and all the pubbies that comprise the bulk of Goonswarm would just loving evac instantly under the assumption that it would just be more of the same poo poo that went down against the NC. The problem with this line of thinking was that Goonswarm had done this after karttoon blew the Alliance up. While in Syndicate under DJ Goonswarm had essentially gnawed off every gangrenous limb it had. Anyone that under preformed (Battlestars) or were too independent and unwilling to toe the company line (Phreeze and ISRAD) were ejected from the Alliance. A bunch of inactive directors got replaced with people who were active and the Alliance was on a pretty decent rebound.

So when PL jumped in we were pretty worn down from constant fighting and Goonswarm was tanned and rested. One of the chatlogs from the forum dump leaked to reddit recently basically confirming that there was no real plan beyond blow VFK up and ??? profit.

The only people to really get inconvenienced in the PL group was ISRAD, we deployed to VFK the entire NC campaign an had our entire corp in system along with a few Sniggwaffe and PL dudes. When all the supers got camped we got camped in as well.

So in response we just logged off the entire Alliance for a week and played Bad Company 2 and you lot had to listen to DBRB ramble on voice comms.
