SOTG TL;DR-

-Two big timers to fight over today. Helping allies first immediately, then later fighting for VFK.
-Stain + Elo Knight's mercs will be joining us.
-Switching mainline doctrine to megathrons and apocs.
-Fweddit back as well (yay chikunz.)

So basically, here we go Fountain 2.0. :hellyeah:

Like, I don't get why people in EvE ragged on Something Awful so hard. It's a really cool place.

Back in the day, the big king shits of the game tried to drive goons out. Goons told them to get hosed, created the most powerful military force the game has ever known, and proceeded to curb stomp everyone and everything repeatedly for about a decade. A large portion of the game that isn't made up of goons now consists of people that have gotten owned at one time or another by them.

it's actually quite the opposite

fozziesov things are harder to capture when the ADM (Activity Defense Multiplier) is higher

ihubs are what allow ADMs to accumulate in the first place, and blowing one up drops the ADM to the minimum

stations on the other hand are necessarily in nullsec, and thus terrible places to stage from, letting hostiles dock in them is nbd, their funeral

OK obviously there is a ton of politics and good-guy bad-guy stuff going on here, but what do I need to do if I just want to join as a nameless dude who can get in a ship and throw myself at some stuff? Barely remember how to play the game (last time I did anything was like 2007) - I have a character that's got like 65 million exp and some useful skills but not much $ or ships.

Don't post much on SA anymore, so i'm guessing i'm not eligible for any Goon corps... Just have a ton of time this weekend so maybe I could be of use to jump in a crappy ship and point me at something.
