Well, I hate to not be playing when things are happening. I'm reading about a lot of groups and individuals leaving Imperium, and wars?

Question, I haven't really played since before the sov changes, let's say I was one of the many morons making isk with a semi-afk ishtar setup around ju-. Has my income source/stream been hosed with? For someone who has been playing on and off since 2012 I basically have the income stream of a typical goon at about 12 months in, because I am lazy as hell. If something's changed that makes that non viable, it's probably gonna put too much of a burden on me to really want to play again because I am fuuucking lazy, unless there is a new, amazing, equally effortless income stream to replace it.

The SV deployments to Syndicate and then the stealth bomber poo poo we did after back then was pretty drat sweet. My name in-game was Joba Korako, and after reading the new stuff going down I think I'm gonna roll up my sleeves and come back as well. The UI sure has been overhauled to some degree from what I last remembered, re-learning this game is gonna be a proper nightmare.

SV doesn't really exist in GSF as it once did. Mark Artreides took over the sig when suas/bos were kicked from gsf. EU TZ was pretty much all bos anyway, US TZ either joined bos or joined hole squad (and then went afk)

The thing to do it with is Chimeras now. Except I think they're changing that soon, so I 'unno. Rattlesnakes would be my guess.

Edit: the PVE guide says its still doable with Ishtars. :shrug:

I had and have no plans to get a capital setup going. I don't want to put th effort required to plex multiple accounts, and I don't want to pay $30 a month for this game. If ishtars are workable that's fine with me even if the isk/hr isnt as good.

Keep in mind anyone can assign contracts to your corporation (including hostiles). You should be clicking the issuer's name on the contract to verify the seller is blue. Not checking that is how those 100mm plated battleship/t3 losses happened.

I almost got caught today. We were in fleet earlier and the fc needed more logi. Some guy volunteered but had no ship. I decided to buy one on contract to loan him. Its a good thing I checked what was the contract and who was selling because instead of a Basilisk, it was a Basilisk BPC.

I went fuckgoons cause it was a funny thing to do and to get some laffs (I can't even really remember why - a few months later I moved to a new country so that's what I remember from that year), but that was like 4 years ago; time flies.

You'd have to really have your head in the sand to think that GSF is actually "goony" anymore. I don't want to get into the "true goon" bullshit, but the reality is that GSF is now majority pubbies; not that these are bad pubbie, many of these corps like MRCHI and the TCF guys have a really long and great bro history with goons stretching back 10 years, but they still aren't SA-sourced "goons." When I look on evemaps, which is cold, hard numbers, the biggest corp is now the reddit one, not goonwaffe, which has slightly over 3k characters in a 17k character alliance. Even if I give the benefit of the doubt to GSF and say that another 3000 of the characters are goon alts in altcorps, it still means that GSF is 2/3rds pubbies.

While I'm not going to try to find info on the GSF/GS goon/pubbie historical ratio, from a somewhat outside perspective it looks to me like GSF isn't really a goon alliance anymore, but rather just a big eve alliance which has a decent-sized goon component at it's center. To compare with this, TEST, which is another external community alliance, has Dreddit consisting of over 40% of it's membership (and even more - closer to 80% - if I use the same altcorp math I used for GSF).

The conclusion that I'd probably draw from this is that GSF likely traded the idea of being a true goon alliance (sourcing the majority of alliance members from SA) for nullsec longevity and power in EVE. Just looking through the GSF corps on evemaps one gets the idea that over the past 5 years GSF has hoovered up corps from various failed/broken allies in order to maintain a certain bulk and strength.

Hi friend,

J4G Dalael here. I feel for you dude, I really do. Us ~NotTrueGoons~ have definitely conquered the mighty goonswarm from the inside. Its something we've been working on for years and discuss every Thursday at 17:45 in our pretend AA meetings. We've done it right under Vyst's nose too. Poor guy, he never had a chance.

See, when too many ~TrueGoons~ like you got butthurt over minor details such as a name change, Mittani making a website or simply cuz it was 'funny' to go gently caress goons, they had no choice but let many waves of us in. You know, people who actually don't get mad because of space pixels or being called names. Pubbies who are not 12 years old kids who cry to the teacher.

What I'm trying to say in so many words, can be resumed with Deadtear's 3 favorite words: "Shut up idiot"

As mentioned, Goonswarm leadership knew about all of these issues long before the M-O betrayal. We showed up to defend CO2 time and time again these past few months despite these background issues because that’s who we are, we honor our word--we honor our commitments--even when it is difficult to do so. We have bled and will continue to bleed for our allies, minor and major problems aside, because they would do the same for us.

This is something Gigx, Da Winci, and TheJudge increasingly failed to understand. The Imperium isn’t held together by moons, by isk or by space. It’s held together with intangible bonds forged in blood and sweat, over beers in bars, and on the dance floor in clubs. A CO2 increasingly consumed with greed lost sight of that.

This is what makes me think we're going to win.

If you don't see the cultural shift that happened to an alliance that used the alliance leader panel to encourage it's members to grief a person until he kills himself to one that renamed its coalition to "Imperium" because the old name was not as marketable as it had profanity in it, I don't know what to tell you. But that's not a question of ~TrueGoons~ vs. pubbies because the change seems to be driven not be the unwashed masses demanding that Goons change, but by the Goon controlled leadership that changed their goals for what they want the alliance/coalition to be.

poo poo dude, you're right. I remember last time I decided to grief some guy, Dear Pubbie Leader The Mittani cane to my home and gave me a 2 hour sermon on how I was not nice. He used words like, "Your mother would be ashamed", "St-Peter won't let you through the perly gates", "Think of the children" and my personal favorite "What would Jesus do?".

He really made me see the errors of my ways.

Now I can feel Sion's watchful eyes through my screen whenever I'm about to be bad and I once caught Digi trying to put Bee stickers in my niece backpack, like he did Marlona Sky.
