Not really. I read the chronicles for like basic lore explanations and that's cool, but I couldn't really commit the effort to reading the books. I am reading the History of EVE's Empires book which I find far more interesting than lore.

TBH I can't really get invested in whatever empress gayass shitlord of amar is doing. All the good eve stories are in nullsec, and are best told in the oral tradition. Some of my best times in eve were telling history stories to wide eyed newbies who had joined a topgoon fleet for the first time.

Pretty much.

Also broke 100k views on this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aJz4n21gD8 which is pretty neat for a non-PVP MLG style video to do for EVE.

Not to mention the amount of "excuse me this is actually wrong..." comments my April 1st vid has gotten out of people is also pretty great - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I70oEcmJgUQ

Here's the spin: We outfoxed the rest of eve today and publicly ruined them when they were at their most smug, and they deserve every bit of mockery that will be headed their way for the next three years as we prosecute the largest grudgefuck since July 2006 against anyone who's been dumb enough to come at us today.

It's not like brutal campaigns of vengeance against impossible odds are what we're infamous for or anything. I'm sure ya'll will be fine.

hi endie how's things in PL, I hear you're having fun and stuff



I miss your OPs, samahiel's wasn't as good :(

Thanks yeah its fun here but I hear we are being laid off in favour of our autz in this war so I guess we will have to make our own fun with small gang roams and blopsing and stuff if that happens.

On the samahiel OP I am going to admit I was really nervous before it came out in case it was amazing so I was selfishly relieved but I'm sure his next one will be a lot better.

The fiery, glorious war against BoB is essentially our superhero origin story movie that's so good you keep going back to it even though they made a sequel which was pretty good (Fountain) and a threequel which was mostly boring but had this one absolutely amazing scene (the Halloween war and B-R5).

The war against BoB wasn't an origin story, goons literally won eve when they took delve/querious. BoB was the big, final boss, and after fighting for years goons managed to take all their nice stuff, which at the time was the best in eve.

Besides the fountain war GSF also purged evZEROke from CR, smacked IT/Bob mk. II out of fountain/delve/querious (again), purged the north a while after the old NC had fallen, won the fountain war, and won the halloween war. GSF was non-stop wininng.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
Well, to be fair after we beat the final boss we Rocky'd ourselves by letting Paulie handle the finances when we went to Russia and wound up broke and back on the streets of Syndicate. Then we built back up and started kicking rear end again, to finally knock out Big Bad mk II of IT.

wasn't getting karttoon'd kind of a good thing? hadn't the leadership at that point let a lot of fundamental relationships atrophy, as well as not done anything for the better part of 6 months?

It ultimately worked out well for us in that we were forcibly moved into a position where we would be Tech overlords after the NC fell and we stomped all over white noisedot.
And we developed some drat good habits and practices from it.
That being said, wrt all of the internal stuff it could be argued that a simple change in top leadership would have been better than a full on implosion and gutting of our filthy lucre. Many of the mid-level leaders were the same post Delve; we just had a fraction of our resources. We were not doing very well before TCF rolled out the couch; had that not happened things could have played out very different. But now we're in alt-eve-history territory...

Part of me feels that you'd probably want a whole weapons-system that only targeted bombs, since the ability to firewall a bit with defenders then clear bombs then swap to anti-ship dps seems on the powerful side. But another way to counter bombers would be good, yeah.

I just have deep Caldari PVE roots and extensive missile skills, so it's just wishful thinking. Bomb defense would be a hell of a role and Newbie Caldari missile ships would be superstars.

I agree that it would be hella cool, and I, too, hanker for my days in ravens and drakes (and fly a wyvern). I think it would help with the current renaissance of the battleship, too, with the ability to defend them via some sort of flak. I just think it would be best as a specialised area-defence module option rather than using existing launchers.

I suppose smartbombs already do the same thing as a flak cannon would, and better. Area damage in a sphere.

No, I meant area-defence in its irl meaning, as opposed to point-defence: the ability to defend a fleet around you rather than just target things fired specifically at you.

Don't use point defense with missile doctrines.


Probably don't get frigates too close to it either.
