Pretty good, I got a hearing implant mid last year and I've gotten to the point I can make out what people are saying on voice com's. Mostly. Some. It's not perfect but better than the nothing previously. Decided to try out some eve as I wanted to be in fleets with voice com's, see how I fare.

Been in a sword fleet with Jay as FC and it was a lot of fun. Took a little time to get used to it but a guy called Uncle Pilot assisted me with backup relays and broadcasts.

PL would have nothing to do with this whatsoever if it hadnt gained any traction, once there was a little blood in the water PL had to show up to claim the credit for the death of goonfleet.

The dudes who been doing the slow burn since December deserve all the credit, not all the nerds that dogpiled on.

I think there would be a pretty significant push to retake Deklein from both a symbolic standpoint, and a push by line members to hold null, if Deklein was lost. I'm hoping for a nullsec buff though, I think nullsec was in its prime post-Dominion, but before they tied anom spawning to truesec. Before that nerf, a couple well nurtured constellations could support many many active players.

I can say that there is no real way, unless something radically changes, that lowsec could ever support goonwaffe. A very small percentage of people would actually go through the considerable effort to set up for level 5s properly, and there are not enough complexes or mining to satisfy a very large group of people, and there are no ways to increase those spawns. I don't know how much effort was put into the invasion by the imperium, but LSV had little trouble defeating the imperium a few months ago when they invaded and tried to take assets, and I would argue goonwaffe would face far stiffer resistance and more hostility in lowsec than they would retaking Deklein or other regions in null. That's just my perspective as someone who's lived in low for a long time. That and you would be fighting many MBC members where they "live" as it were, and many of them have the doctrines, and experience in fighting a lowsec war. BUT there are also a lot of regions of lowsec held by relatively weak alliances away from the SC/SNUFF/TISSUE/DT blocks, so it's certainly possible if that is what you wanted.

I actually think CFC to one lowsec constellation would be a good choice. The mission should be enough to support 14,000 dudes, and I am sure theta/people would set up some kind of standing boost services to help everyone transition from ratting to missioning. The only concern are these mining dudes, but we can always fix that by staging in null sec entry lowsec system, where we have 1 constellation/region of sov that miners can mine, cap builders can build.

And there would be no one to(can) mess with 14,000 in lowsec stations, that would be 1 giant slap to CCP's face for loving up null rewards.


Not related to the quoted post, but why does people give Sion so much poo poo? I have never spoken to the guy apart from few messages, he seems a level-headed nice dude, granted he is not good as putting people together like Vile rat, but he tries and sacrifices his free time for space business. I am sure the guy will take the blame when we inevitably lose null sec holdings, every bad incident need a scrap-goat.

We're not, which is why that article is sort of silly/bad.

PL was mixed on it. Some had the same deal as Grath, good idea but the rewards/execution of it was hosed and wasn't really something we wanted to support. Others were just outright opposed to it regardless of the idea being a good one because ~The Mittani~.

It's pretty good, albeit buggy but its in alpha. It's pretty comparable to Arma mixed with Battlefield. You should check out the Squad thread in Games.

Yeah, when we were doing our services move back in December some of the IT nerds looked at Discord but there were so many issues with it not being compatible with what we needed, it was scrubbed pretty quick. For the thing Kimsemus & all is doing with it, it's a find choice though.

Though sword fleets would not be going into the meat grinder if FCs wouldn't keep trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. You can't put 20 interceptors on the field with 0 logi and expect to beat a cruiser gang that is fit out to kill frigates because that's what we're using as anti-entosis ships. Stand off at a distance and jam the entosis ship and gently caress off of the support gets close. Every FC I've seen flying them loses them because they tell people to suicidally tackle the support, die, and then wonder why they're losing whole fleets and not accomplishing the goal of stopping the entosis.

Most people who fc want to fight even when they should not, because fights are more fun than not fighting and you can't prove yourself capable of winning fights unless you take fights. That used to be me, and the alternative does not have instant rewards

yeah, conceptually the idea of something that replaces and merges gf.com/jabber/mumble in a cohesive way would be awesome and less cumbersome. i dunno if thats ever going to be Discord or not, but a lot of people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon.

Yeah but I can't imagine they've gotten much better than what they were 2 years ago. I mean with our size it's obvious that we have to rely on stable, older software until something good comes out, it's just a matter of when is it going to come out and how can we implement it.
