nope if you're blue to us that's probably the best place to have all your assets. Step 2 is to bust them all down to parts, ship them to jita to sell, then use the cash from that to buy updated doctrine ships

~TL;DR~

The largest coalition in the game decided to take a poke at the numerically inferior Low Sec alliances. Instead of crumbling as expected to the superpower, they banded together and pushed them back out of their area of space, taking all of the big coalition's income in the area as they did.

Once people saw it was possible to beat this super-coalition, most of the player groups in the game decided to band together, with encouragement from the enormously rich I Want Isk (IWI) gambling organisation who have grievances with the super-coalitions's component alliances.

Today marked a major victory in taking the strategically important staging system of one of the super-coalition's player groups which caused that group to flip sides to the attackers.

:laffo:

The best part of this is them saying that IWI is "encouraging" the groups to come at us. That's a kind way of putting it.

Realtalk, I would be legit saddened if EVE finally did shut down. For better or worse, there really is nothing else like it out there, and the future seems to hold yet an endless stream of attempted WoW clones with the interesting ones being canned (EQ Next) and the rest turning into lovely pay 2 win cash grabs.

Seriously people the guy asks how to make money and you say "ratting," he has probably rage quit this thread altogether. :kingsley:

Ratting is easily the highest isk/effort because it can be done largely afk in a drone boat, but if you want some tears with your isk you can recruitment scam or try out highsec ganking (either solo Vexor+looter or running support roles for an organized group). I made my first (and second and third) billion by finding a PLEX-filled freighter and passing on the info to a CODE./Miniluv gank fleet.

Vexor ganking is a great way to make money, but it's prone to being hosed with (people steal your loot), and requires a bit of start up (1-2 Vexor pilots, 1 scanner, 1 DST pilot) and money (1b +/- for vexors, the scanner ships and the DST).

If you're eligible to join MiniLuv, scanning pays out 50m + 5% of scooped loot (capped at 500m) for every freighter you scout. I know some guys making upwards for 5-6b a month, and in our biggest month we paid out some 15b isk in bounties. Join MiniLuv Today! We also have a scam contract program if you're motivated enough for that, which pays out relatively well.

When he was playing he was known as Raivi and was, at the time, a big part of PL's AT team. If I recall, he also was one of the active programmers on The Sphere program we still use pretty regularly when in war mode. That said, I can't confirm nor deny what you're saying about how he made the entire new sov system to benefit PL since we're at war and all. Maybe when it's over I talk you through it, but you seem to be drawing your own conclusions at the moment which is OK.

Well I don't know much about Fozzie's game experience other than what I've heard about him being in PL at some point in time. I think it's at least somewhat suspicious or funny because of his history.

I have no idea what The Sphere is, but from what I could tell from a few quick google searches it's a fitting tool?

Assuming we survive the onslaught and can outlast the tenuous shitler alliance arrayed against us, I think we need to coax Warr Akini out of retirement and burn every major trade hub in New Eden to the ground and salt the ashes. For at least a solid month.

I don't know how EVE is played nor what half the stuff in the second post is about, but I am always enthralled with goonswarm news in gaming blogs and reading that second post was like the opening segment of a Star Wars movie.

If you're suspicious of Fozzie's past in playing with PL and then being hired by CCP, then you should be equally suspicious of the ex-members of Goons ending up doing the same thing. You should also be incredibly suspicious of the TEST guy CCP hired to manage the CSM since he could have lied to them to benefit TEST in-game :tinfoil:
