DBRB's pretty cool in my book

In the age of semi-competent directors he's a maverick but for those who remember the old times he's a dark reminder of ages past.

I unironically enjoyed all of dbrb's fleet i joined. I also like watching his stream when he play games.

Were I to meet him somewhere, I'd definitely buy him a few beers as thanks for the fun he provides.

The fleets we had logged-in, both super and sub-cap, were a long way from that zone. I mean, the imperium were never going to jump in supers when outnumbered almost 3:1 in subcaps alone.

I don't know the truth and it will likely remain obscured for some time, but I think it more likely the 300-super blob was a nuclear deterrent to keep us from trying anything sneaky with our own caps, and also to show the Serbian man with the small penis that he was backing the right horse

Against my better judgement I just re-subbed. I haven't played this game in a while though...when I log in am I going to be drifting in space with a target on me or will I still be docked safely in VFK?

You will still be in vfk, probably, but whether we still own it or not may depend on which day of the week you log in :v:

Mostly it's motivated by a desire to do something for the alliance, but maybe I'm just speaking for myself. Having said that, high performers for various tasks (GSOL, reimbursement, etc) do get PLEX as a thank you for their efforts. That's not exactly advertised though as that really isn't the point of volunteering for those kinds of jobs.

I was TNT's reimbursement director for about 2 years and did it because I was out of work and it made me feel useful. I even got my team paid and never was paid any isk other than what the rest of the guys would get if they processed kill mails. That said, most larger, well funded alliances provide isk or plex to useful people. I just chose to give most of our budget to the people doing the grindy work because I didn't need it.

Also, running just enough successful bombing runs to be put in command of a battleship fleet, losing it horribly, and being busted back down to bombers - ad nauseum.

He was all the way up to supers at one point

Pretty sure it's just because he has an undying eagerness do to tedious poo poo nobody else wants to do.

You don't fire an executive assistant who makes good coffee, you just don't listen when s/he talks.

I've never heard it called 'making good coffee' but it's otherwise a solid analogy

DBRB also has a habit of getting unexpected capital kills. It's kind of random, though: he'll say he wants to do a short roam and you end up bumping a carrier out of some POS in the middle of nowhere, or you'll be told of green fields full of hull-tanked dreads with no subcap support only to find yourself shooting POS mods.

DBRB puts (put? i hear he isn't the same trufflepig these days :smithfrog:

) the effort into finding the big juicy kills. He's the only FC that I know of to regularly infiltrate enemy organizations looking for targets. I remember back in the day, he would arrange to purchase a supercap with spy alts to draw them out.

1. Doing what DBRB does is soul crushing work, and he's done it consistently for like half a decade now.

2. He's not quite as awful as the memes about him indicate. His voice can be pretty grating though.

no it isnt he revels in the attention you dummy

yes he is

I asked this on S-GBS but might get more traction here. If reactivating and at 58m SP is it worthwhile for me to buy 10-15 extractors to re-inject in order to accelerate getting into Logi and toward T2 Triage even at the 200k SP loss per extractor? I heard that there's often a logi deficit ATM?

Is there a way to check wallet/holdings on a character that hasn't logged on in like a year? Wanna see which one of my dudes had my stuff on it to plex

You should be able to get the assets by using EVEMon and a proper API key. I've done it before.

If you have spare SP you not going to use, money and expect to lose some of the extracted SP because of diminishing returns after 50+m SP it's not that bad idea. But if you space rich and you're not completely sure about that skills you lose, just buy injectors.
