This is a really good paragraph. Except Test has always had SRP.

During the end of the Fountain War I recall that TEST's alleged SRP program was massively back-logged and members weren't receiving payouts, accompanied by posts from other redditors making fun of those who were asking about why they weren't getting paid out.

There's a difference between saying you have an SRP program and actually having an SRP program. :)

lol no need to crucify anyone for the yacht fleet horny whiteboy lifestyle, that was a different time. Sure it was only two months ago but it was a different time.

The parallels to the pre-Fountain 2013 techfleet is pretty amazing. We get pretty bloated and stupid in the lulls between wars.

So after the cap changes, are ratting dreads and titans going to be a thing?
Dreads? Maybe, but the siege timer makes it awkward. Titans, almost certainly yes, and I'm looking forward to it. Ratters in obscure shitholes like the drone regions and esoteria will happily sit in their pimped titans banging out 150m+ ticks, creating all sorts of opportunities for amusing traps and ganks.

I don't expect many of you to agree with me on this- but honestly, flying in groups without SRP makes people gently caress up less and overall contributes to a better EVE experience.

That being said, groups have lived and thrived for years without it, so it's not like some big Achilles heel everyone tries to make it out to be.

I'm so glad you don't expect me to buy your weak rear end reasons why SRP isn't important.

Oh without a doubt we ran out of ISK at the end of that war, that's what happens when you get in brawls that you are losing every day for weeks. Test never had the financial warchest that Goons had, and it is something I envy about Goons to this day, you do finances really, really well.

I'm unironically considering resubbing for the capital changes just to see how they play out. I've only lost my dread once to a PL hotdrop and it was awesome.

I'm afraid to login though because I spent a lot of money on an embarrassing attempt to become a moon miner last time I resubbed and I don't have any loving clue where my stuff is now and I probably have no cash at all.

On the SRP thing, I don't care either way. I knew there was no SRP in Waffles and adjusted my playstyle to that and have done fine. Then again I also don't do PVE in EVE and get PLEX from making bad videos so that may not be the best example.

Yeah I'm hyped about those dread changes. I was training for a titan and titans sound cooler than ever with the buff, but I resigned myself to never owning a titan after my failed foray into moon mining/reaction farming. It was seriously embarrassing. I bought all the poo poo, I set up a tower and everything and then I never logged in again because lol I don't have the patience for any kind of money making in eve.

Oh god please don't. I actually used to like Siege Fleet and I'll fly an Interceptor as a support ship any of the day week, but 5 days into this war and I never want to see more than two of either of those things in one place.

I don't know if it's accurate, but there is a post on reddit saying we lost over 1300 interceptors over the past few days. That isn't good fun, it's a problem.

I know nothing about any of that. I also am personally not thrilled about flying anything larger than a capital. Too many subcaps are fun to fly.

That's because FCs keep trying to get fights with interceptors instead of doing hit and runs

drat. I was typing a post to ask you how PL will adjust to cap changes aimed squarely at tactics involving ships bunched up together. Or where you plan to get the droves of Force Auxes needed for the other way of using a super requiring piles of triage archon losses.

Pandemic Horde? Maybe if you had a section of space where they could develop a taste for carrier ratting. Since two years ago.

This is an open-ended thought, is there anything you have to say about the matter

Jay Amazingness seems to be the only person who "gets it". I was on a swordfleet op with him for 3 hours, and we popped 6 entosis mallers and jammed 4 archons. Over the same time period boat lost 3 entire fleets because he thought dogfighting scram equipped, close range interceptors with Sa Matra Specials was a good idea.

Why is "there is so much death holy poo poo" scraping the barrel?

There's an insane amount of sov turnover. I'm trying to think of a four-day period during which more sov was lost than (1) T2N dropping during the Fountain War and (2) The last four days.

Boat's not the only one who has done that over the weekend. I had an FC welp a fleet doing the same thing and blamed people who were bursting for the loss. Burst ECMs certainly didn't help but it was the dumb engage that killed us.
