I'm actually worried about logging in, how do the logistics work? I'm downloading the client right now, but I don't remember which system I was in when I stopped playing. We had just done a move over to some new system in like Spring of 2014. If I log in and goons don't own the system any more, am I boned?

You can change your home station from the clone interface in a station so even if you do die on the way there you will respawn at your destination.

Venom Snake posted:If the leadership sucked the entire game wouldn't be teaming up to kill us. I think your leadership sort of sucks if they do things which cause the entire game (including your former close allies) to alienate you, switch sides against you, then with the right prodding rise up and attack your space for reasons ostentatiously beyond "good fights." Then, on top of this, mount what could be considered one of the most feeble defenses in modern EVE memory. Maybe you have something saved up for Fade or Deklein though, IDK. I've been playing for a long, long time, and this kind of vitriol is pretty unprecedented. I was in FIXX and I can still say that.

Nietzschean posted:I have every confidence that we will deliver the hellwar that has been promised. I do not think it has really begun yet. Whatever may have happened in the past few months fighting with this or that Imperium member entity, the coalition-wide call to arms has only been issued in the past few days and it takes time to stock doctrines. To my knowledge, we've not even had our good FCs showing up to lead and coordinate fights. The Imperium has been awakened, but we are large and slow to stir. So far we've not started rolling out multiple battleship fleets at a time and as many support fleets, and the Imperium today is bigger than the CFC in 2013. I am confident that within a couple of months you will begin to see the activity that you are asking for. If when that time comes the aggressors remain a unified coalition, then the war in the north will definitely be something to write about. But either way, what's more interesting to me is the hellwar to follow. I am far less interested in how GSF and the Imperium handles the next few months and much more interested in how the next couple of years will unfold. I don't believe either you or I were playing in the time of The Great War. Mittani was, and so were a lot of OG folks coming back for the promise of another. I've been playing since 2003, I was in FIXX for a lot of the BoB stuff and the goon performance (at least the second time around) was impressive. I feel like it doesn't take this long to get your doctrines and poo poo sorted when fighting on your own turf. LSV had no warning whatsoever about this war, so did a lot of the other alliances involved, yet we've had no problem getting our doctrines and ships and FCs going with a capacity to wage war that is arguably inferior to what the imperium has proven capable of doing. I think it's just a matter of motivation and the imperium so far has been found somewhat wanting in that regard. Unless you simply plan on retaking your space from lowsec or NPC null as opposed to defending what you currently have, which I suppose is a strategy. I think you threw everything you had available except for cap escalations into the M-O area fight, but I think that the fozziesov poo poo just doesn't favor defensive action in space without high ADMs which I haven't encountered thus far. I will 100% admit I have no perspective or knowledge of how the imperium plans to prosecute this war going forward or what their plan is, I just know we're running over a lot of space really quickly and haven't really been checked anywhere. Either you're holding out for something amazing or you're just gassed out. I also think because of a bevvy of rhetoric, a lot of line members in the imperium vastly underestimate both the capabilities and motivations of a lot of MBC members. Just my opinion though. I really want to just go back to beating up 100 man lowsec alliances for R64s though, the political and metagame intrigue of null is exhausting and seems really silly in perspective.

I think this is fine and good, I definitely like goonwaffe a lot more than most anyone in MBC with intentions of holding sov null. I'll go back to lowsec with LSV and just cherish the memories. I would rather enjoy it if, for instance, NCDOT retook Tribute and you guys took it right back. I think I posted a few pages ago about it, but I like the imperium a lot more by a wide margin than most of the people I'm currently blue with.

Well I guess that's it for your credibility, FIXX was pretty trash-tier (and got smacked around a lot). You're pretty dumb thinking that this will be anything near the end of GSF, and that although these fights now will matter, they're not critical. In 2010 Goons lost everything. Like I mean everything, the alliance was closed, the main corp was gone, everyone was kicked, alliance assets were taken; all that remained were the forums, jabber, and teamspeak. LODRA (the new alliance) then tried to invade CR and basically got nowhere, and there was internal drama and pubbie witchhunts. Participation sucked, nobody had any resources, and LODRA ended up on TCF's couch in Venal. Over the next 5 years GSF/the CFC became the biggest and best-organized coalition EVE has seen, and had basically five years of straight winning. This is the group that prettymuch won the nullsec game twice. Even though Mittani is a pseudointelligent, longwinded douchebag, he has prioritized building alliance infrastructure and securing long-term resources. Even though a bureaucratic leader might not be what GSF really needs right now, having such stable and committed leadership has meant that GSF has insane resources. I don't really know what the number of active supers is in GSF, but back when I got mine (which was early 2011) they were being pumped out at an obscene rate, and that was just when the alliance was starting to seriously prioritize them. Even if everything falls apart in the next few months, I can guarantee you that GSF will be back in some way, unless eve actually shuts down.

But I also think it's sort of silly to say these fights aren't critical when by anyone's definition they are, and if you were winning you would say they were. Thank you for the history lesson I was 100% present for though.

Kimsemus posted:I've been playing since 2003, I was in FIXX for a lot of the BoB stuff and the goon performance (at least the second time around) was impressive. I did not know you'd been around that long, so sorry about that. I'm sure you can find mirrors and screenshots of the goonfleet forums if you try, and so I'm equally sure you're aware of how our current doctrines are actually in flux. If not, then even just the comments made in this thread are a good enough indicator: we just a couple days ago announced a new battleship doctrine (what's old is new again), and the parallels to the ramp-up to Fountain 2013 are pretty striking: afk FCs and line members slowly trickling back to the game, a bloated empire that had been fielding faction battleships transitioning to more reliable and easily sourced alternatives, PL hanging a Sword of Damocles over the theatre while NCdot, TEST, et al crow about how great they are on Reddit, and so on. Why does it take so damned long for the Imperium to spool up for this? I dunno. I've not been space important enough to be privy to the details of our pre-war huddles, but apparently it's a thing. Perhaps it's part of the Fabian Strategy that Mittani mentioned in the CEO update. Your guess is as good as mine. But for whatever reason, a significant wind-up clearly does and has existed for the CFC/Imperium in the lead-up to concerted war efforts; and, those wars have generally been won over the course of the past six years that I've been playing with Goonswarm. Will this time be different? Perhaps. Regardless of the current conflict, the thing that strikes my interest is the promised New Great War, the grudgefuck hellwar against the various entities who have invaded us and challenged us to do something about it. I, at least, was not around for The Great War, but if we deliver on Mittani's promise, and I hope we do, then I'm looking forward to seeing this new iteration. And of course, I'll be there to lead Siege Fleet as we burn down every destructible asset we can find if so. If not? Then, well, I guess I'll come back a few months in the future and admit to having believed a lie. Until then, there's nothing to do but wait and see.
