I've been blitzing L5s for 3 years now, I wrote a guide and posted it to goonfleet dot com. I haven't had a chance to test how the carrier changes will affect L5 blitzing yet. I don't have access to gf.com any more but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have on here.

Alternatively you can ask batuka, who I believe is setting up to run missions in saranen's constellation. He learnt it from me while he was in BOS.

The phrase is "never stop posting". Call me a faithless whore but I also post on all sorts of other internet messaging boards. I know: what a traitor, eh? I'm plucking up my courage to post on a really bittervet alt history forum right now where everyone just shits on everything new ever posted with basically no exceptions.

that clown died in his carrier because he ended up spazzing out on the beacon. when I explained to him how to warp at range he told me that wasnt possible and there was nothing he couldve have done to prevent his dumb carrier death. what Im saying is you should ask batuka for tips

However, Pandemic Horde will kick you for loving up like that one roarqual pilot dbrb awoxed awhile back. Their idea of a 'newbie friendly' alliance is one that flips the gently caress out if you make their kill/death ratio look bad.

tl;dr they are the tryhard "elite" pubbie guild you know and hate from every mmo, come and kill some with us

I lurk and very occasionally post there and it's not so bad, but there's a thing with alt-history where the rules of the game aren't particularly clear to newcomers because everyone is following the conventions from some 25 year old FAQ they read on soc.history.what-if. So when some newbie shows up and is like " so guys what would have happened if Historical Figure/Institution XYZ acted massively out of character at one particular crucial moment in history and changed everything " they don't understand why they're getting piled by the grognards.

I hope as a starting point you've at least read http://www.philmasters.org.uk/SF/Sealion.htm and you either pretty much agree with the conclusions or understand that you won't make much progress there arguing against them.

We all know you will only give everything for Dekklein and only there.

Just stop acting like hypocrite by spilling excuse about been blueballs and stupid poo poo.

In fact, it suit you that your «allied» lost their spaces and evacuated in mass near of your homeland , so they can help boosting your own little sand castle. Meatshield, its all what they are for you, crawling under your feet in hope you will help them. Don't pretend you event care about their fates.

You're not like the Old Goons of the Great War era, the ones who truly care about their allies. I used to be a goon years ago and what you have become, its more like Band of Brother but with several more layer of arrogance and denial.

And Mittani keep telling you will win this...

I can't wait to enter in Dekklein with the MBC.

The Ex-Goon here can't wait, i can't wait to screw your motherfucking game.

Where did you pull any of that out from?

That Rorqual was the alt of a guy whose main had already left Horde for Spaceship Samurai on their own. The character ended up leaving Horde after sure but they weren't kicked for it, especially given they still fly and FC stuff with Horde. There's a pretty short list of people who have gotten kicked and it's mostly awoxers or a creepy fucks like the guy who stalked/harassed someone at Fanfest & Vegas.

For any newcomers reading this thread and want to get an idea of what the two sides fighting this war are like, here is some perspective.

Pandemic Legion, the linchpin of this mob coming after our poo poo, was briefly touted months ago by certain individuals as the flame of true gooniness. This couldn't be further from the truth. In order to get in PL proper you basically need a supercap or a personal vouch. In order to get a supercap in EVE you need billions upon billions of isk as well as a buttload of SP on your character, at least one cyno alt to get around so you'd better have at least 2 accounts, and the connections to purchase a supercap without getting scammed. In short, you need to be quite an established player. They recruit the guys decked out in t6 raid gear who know all the fights.

Now some of the PL guys will say 'we have Pandemic Horde, our newbie friendly alliance anyone can join!' and that is true. However, Pandemic Horde will kick you for loving up like that one roarqual pilot dbrb awoxed awhile back. Their idea of a 'newbie friendly' alliance is one that flips the gently caress out if you make their kill/death ratio look bad.

Here is a sample of their comms though if people want to know how important kill/death ratio poo poo is to Pandemic Legion.

Hey is this nonsciolist? I think I may have asked you about it in jabber one time. I guess it mostly makes sense to me now, I'm just a little fuzzy on the initial "where do I choose to set up shop?" constellation/faction picking part.

Obviously I want a good return on ISK for my LP so I check various sites and tools to confirm that. If I want to minimize the number of carriers I need, how would I go about doing that? What I'm fuzzy on is how missions spawn in a constellation. I thought it was just "L5's can only spawn in lowsec, so pick a L5 agent that lives in a constellation that is mostly highsec with just a few lowsec systems." But then some dude came along and was like "naw there's some mystical voodoo ~geography~ element to the mission spawning" and now I'm all confused again because my Googling on this turns up nothing. I wish people would just explain themselves the first time rather than leave me hanging like the latest TWD finale.

Confirming level Vs don't spawn in highsec as a rule, and missions will never send you out of the constellation.

There's more to it, like constellation geography and other things.

Yeah I've been lurking for a while and know better than to do a successful Sealion. Not that I ever would have done so in any case: Hitler having a Kriegsmarine that can do that without the British reacting with their own building program is up there with "Hitler has a liberation philosophy and co-opts Ukraine, Byelorussia and the Baltic States", "let's ignore the limitations of the German economy in 1933", and other similar red flags.

Is this stuff like any of the Harry Turtledove books etc.?

Helicon One posted:

Yes (no (yes)).

Much of Turtledove's stuff is what is commonly described in alt-history circles as 'Alien Space Bats' scenarios - alternate historical events occuring as a result of alien invasion, magic, time travel, etc. There's a soft divide in the genre between that extreme of "what if alien lizards invade Earth in 1942 with mid-late Cold War military capabilities?" and a more down to earth scenario of something like "what if the car that knocked over Winston Churchill in 1931 had killed him?"

Alt history is pretty cool stuff to examine how fragile is the reality we live in and how easily the right butterfly flapping its wings can make the difference, but its always a good idea to look out for where the boundaries of the genre lie since it can often devolve into wild nonsensical speculation or wish-fulfillment.

Siets posted:

Well then what the gently caress was that ~geography~ dude on about!?

Unfunny Poster posted:

OK. I've only really ever read Turtledove when it came to "alt-history" kind of stuff. I tried reading 1632 but I just couldn't get into it. I'll check some of that sort of stuff out.
