Turns out that was just an imposter pretending to be DJ.


The real DJ perished during the great war. Unbeknownst to everyone. With the help of CCP BoB had built 40 Titans inside a wormhole. This fleet was unleashed near the end of the war. Poised for victory the fleet approached Goon battle lines by passing through a secret wormhole network. Darius was alerted to this. Knowing that the knowledge of such a force would demoralize the rest of Goonfleet, he took a small rifter fleet of his most trusted lieutenants and went into wormhole space to face the BoB Titans. The fighting was viscous and DJ was seen to destroy five Titans single-handedly before taking a glancing hit from a Doomsday weapon. Ejecting from his rifter, DJ used his pod to crash the exit wormhole. Making it go critical and trapping the remaining BoB Titans in wormhole space forever. His pod however exploded as the wormhole sealed. His frozen corpse was recovered and taken back home to be interned into the golden throne. Now the throne rests in the undercroft of VFK. Our enemies suspect this and they know that DJs frozen corpse is the key to recovering the lost Titan fleet that they need to win this war.

One of his last edicts before he crashed his pod was the formation of hole squad. To serve as the eternal guardians of goonkind. Their destined task was to search out and close wormholes that lead to the trapped BoB Titan fleet. Making sure that these Titans remain sealed inside wormhole space forever.

Look at this beautiful loving post. God drat you're alright for a RAZOR refugee.

As a poor newbie who struggled to make his first 100m ISK for several months back in 2007, I'd say you're doin pretty good! Money is very very relative to your skill points in this game. Right now, you only have the skills to use basic tech 1 modules and frigates. Those cost a pittance (most well under 1m ISK, fully fit) so you can basically go hog wild buying skill books for training, learning implants to speed up skill point learning, and splash the rest on whatever fleet ship you can fly according to the doctrine thread.

I think I've actually got like 5m in a couple of days under my own steam, but I can definitely see the advantage of having a lot in reserve.

Depends on what you wanna do. Big fleet rights can drag on for hours. Solution? Only bring small cheap stuff so you don't care about losing it or having to leave. If I'm not leading a fleet, I'm in an interceptor (relatively cheap, fast ship) always.

It's possible to login a couple times a week and have fun but it's rare to login for less than an hour and have fun. If you can commit 3 months, a couple days a week a couple hours at a time fun is possible.

Depends on what you want to do. You can spend multiple hours a day trading or fleeting up with special interest groups, but skill progress is mostly fixed rate. I've had fun when i had an hour a day tops and also when i was able to go on six hour ops. Be sure to join jabber and look for fun people since it'll make everything more memorable.

E: for instance a few weeks i logged in for an hour or so to gank high sec people with miniluv, we also baited people with brick fit battleships. It was a lot of fun. Still, after a few years it's the people that you remember not the game.
