All our good FCs left, and Mittani has made too many enemies.

I'm predicting we are going to go to Faction Warfare soon, or Lowsec.

I don't see goons going lowsec... And hopefully never factionwarfare... Probably back to syndicate if anything. I hope.

This would put you roughly where I am. Interceptors (Ares, Raptor, Claw) and stealth bombers are probably the two most accessible doctrines. Be aware that you will need Weapon Upgrades 5/Advanced Weapon Upgrades for the Raptor, Claw, and Nemesis fits (I keep meaning to train that but keep pushing it back, most recently for Navigation 5).

Funny enough I now remember that I was working on interceptors when I left.

THE BLACK CRUSADE: Our enemies don't get to name our coalition any more than they get to choose the names of our wars. This grudgefuck will launch our Black Crusade, which is a hell of a lot catchier than a Great War, but if you've got a better idea for a war gimmick let's hear it in elysium@conference.goonfleet.com tia~

STATE OF THE GOONION
FRIDAY 17:00 EVE
~BE THERE~



At last: we have backstabbers to eviscerate, shitlords smugging about our 'imminent demise', and a whole galaxy of wretches who somehow think that this time will be different and Goonswarm will surely go down in flames. They didn't plan for us to be here after their M-O supercap trap failed; we're supposed to be broken and quitting in shame, rather than fueled once more by the return of our favorite emotions: hate and vengeance. The hard fact is that Eve hasn't had a grudgefuck war in years, and that's because we murderzoned the very people who provoked us so badly they were erased. The Great War ended, time moved on, the galaxy forgot and came to think of GSF as being kinder and gentler than before - now they think it's safe to howl 'there are no goons'.

That worked out so well for them last time.

:siren: Be ready in Saranen with Yachts/Speedboats/Caracals/FYF as early as 16:30, we've got poo poo to do and skulls to collect. :siren:

I'd 3rd party it with Chribba and turn it into isk, and sell it, even if to an enemy which is basically all of EVE except RUS. Take the isk, and turn it into more isk as the next patch hits.

Super capitals won't be as useful once the next patch hits, but lots of SCs haven't been lost recently.

Another option is just to wait out the war, then decide then.

Yo, that picture looks like Khârn the Betrayer standing atop a toppled (look at me making that work in a sentence) statue of the Imperium. This is all very bad brand management. Let's get on this.

And it's obviously post-Heresy, so if we're the Imperium, then Mittens is already dead and entombed in a yellow office chair or something.

Or if we're doing pre-Heresy, does that make Vily Horus and Sebastien Erebus and CO2 the Word Bearers and cocaine is the anathame? This is all getting extremely complicated.

Short of MAYBE the T1 Hurricane none of the bigger doctrine poo poo is even remotely accessible to a 6m SP newbee. Even the Caracal requires about 3 weeks of training for me due to AWU, T2 launchers, and MLO5 (for the T2 ammo).

And Swordfleet/Siegefleet pings still appear to be a thing so :shrug:

On the Caracals, downgrade to meta launchers and just run faction ammo. You probably won't get the strategic payout, but peacetime is 25M which should leave you maybe 5M short after insurance. Of course you get double payouts in Waffe so you'll make a profit by dying :sun:

It's post heresy and It's Darius Johnson in the golden throne as he was gravely wounded in the great war and entombed inside the golden throne. Mittens represents the Highlords of Terra and they enact Johnsons will across the Imperium.
