I'm an old-rear end goon who hasn't been in the corp since uh, 2006 or something, and I don't have an account on goonfleet.com because I guess it wasn't around then. How do I rejoin? Should I just go through the newbie process?

If you are absolutely 100% certain you do not have a goonfleet.com account because you literally pre-date that, then yes, apply as a new applicant.

To say that suas was kicked is a bit of a misnomer. BOS fell into decline because suas (the main driving force) went inactive. BOS was then kicked for low participation. After which suas came back to call foul. With him back the activity in BOS went up and now they are used as an example of an active corp that was kicked unfairly from GSF.

Did I miss anything?

While their participation wasn't great I was under the impression they were kicked because lakz leaked illum, but yeah, suas wasn't active at the time. I wasn't in bos at the time, I came back to waffe after I failed to convince suas & fellow bos directors that the sv dream was better lived outside the cfc, and I decided that if they were staying in gsf I wanted to hang with them, but not as a bos line member. At the time the only real difference between being waffe in sv and being in bos was being told to go on strat ops. Their activity definitely picked up after they left GSF but SUAS didn't come back until 4-5 months later, at which point it picked up even more.

So if there's one boat to get in on the action soon, what would it be? I keep seeing pings for swords and bombers but the only thing I was able to get into was a cormorant fleet that I guess I skilled my character to do 4 years ago when I played last. And that ended prematurely when the servers went down :v:.

Caracal fleets are used reasonably often if you can fly them and have missiles trained.

Start training towards interceptors if you've just come back to the game, irrespective of sword fleet. Interceptors are broken thanks to bubble immunity. CCP ignored it while they were used as uncatchable taxis, but may well intervene now that we're using them as a primary combat doctrine. Get in on it before it's gone.

How the hell can someone even claim "They are DDOSing are servers! :bahgawd:" ? Like, unless any of the guys on reddit are on CCP's NOC team, there's no way to know.

It's unsubstantiated hurf from square one, and too many people are upvoting that schlock story.

Pretty much everything sells for extracted sp prices now since there's no reason to sell for less. Super pilots have probably gone down because there's no reason to pay a premium on focused characters now that you can just inject and make your own. Extractor prices are 800 isk/sp but you can't extract the last 5 mil sp on the character (but that's just about enough for cyno5 bomber + travel inty)

800 isk/sp if you're extracting, extractors are 240 mil. If you're injecting it depends on how much sp the character you're putting them into has, but injectors are currently 640 mil.

I would be looking to inject more sp into my character if I decide to resub. I think I'm at 25mil skill points. Do injectors have a cap in how much sp they can hold? I'm trying to figure out how much sp a Plex would get me.

injectors hold 500k, but there's diminishing returns based on how much sp the character you're injecting has:

< 5 million total skillpoints = 500,000 skillpoints per injector
5 million – 50 million total skillpoints = 400,000 skillpoints per injector
50 million – 80 million total skillpoints = 300,000 skillpoints per injector
> 80 million skillpoints = 150k skillpoints per injector

This character doesn't have standings, but I might still have a few Gallente standings alts from my level 5 days. Do you own the 'Pointy' Loyale twins? I can't imagine anyone else would have bought them.

e: Looks like they're still on my inactive third account. Want to buy some standings characters? Are you even still doing Gallente missions or did you switch to something else?

So if Plex is worth 1bil isk you get 425k sp from one if the character is under 5 mil sp? Is that correct?
