Give it a week because they'll have to extract to safety to figure out what the gently caress is going on with the new changes to caps. However there is a chance the cap changes will be delayed to allow the continuation of the supercapital hit parade. Really can't decide whether CCP values Fanfest momentum over Warld Wor Three Bee hype.

But yeah don't log in right now because the next two weeks are the death knell of PL and they're throwing a hissy fit and shooting our POSes and poo poo.

Pretty sure they'll figure out that the only way to keep their kill:death ratios is to limit themselves to driveby doomsdays on undocks in lowsec.

Large amounts of jump freighters are evacuating Deklein - I haven't seen any announcement of it, but it sounds like the line members are giving up holding nullsec space?

they're scared stupid and can't figure out what the capital changes mean to begin with. That paper-thin plan of hey we're going to use lots of supers and follow one angry nerd is about to fall apart.

I think you are completely misreading the likely impact of the capital changes. They are becoming a lot more powerful on the whole, and the limitation that you can no longer do capital RR outside of triage is almost completely irrelevant in a situation where you have crushing subcap numerical superiority.

I've moved my assets out of Nullsec a while ago, except for like 1 billion ISK in doctrine ships for strat ops/fleets and 1 Ratting Ishtar.

I kinda regret not moving my poo poo earlier. I don't have much in YA0 but I don't want it stuck in station. My biggest regret is a tengu that I've been planning to turn into a doctrine ship eventually. I guess that won't happen for a while.

I spent 2 hours reading through them yesterday and the only things I learned are that suas ate a 7 day ban, everyone's getting paid mad isk from IWI and gsf is getting its rear end kicked by a someone who writes like a 12 year old. There isn't really anything damaging in the mess if your name isn't boson dubstep. Maybe there's more to come? That poo poo makes my eyes hurt so good luck to anyone who wants to go through all of it.

I have doctrine ships at staging and a couple ishtars in dek, I try to keep most of my capital liquid and I'm lazy so usually just fund myself through plex, not worried about losing a couple rating ships. My indy character with his bpo's is still in dek too so I'll evac him if poo poo really hits the fan. Otherwise my main can really function anywhere we go as long as I can get ships on contract so I'm not worried.

Rich guy? Apparently he lives in a trailer. Can you imagine living in a trailer and blowing the equivalent of what seems to be thousands of dollars on paying mmo mercenaries to do mmo things?

The best thing you can do right now, is just remain calm, hop in some fleets and make reservations for your many corpses in space valhalla (if you're into that). Whatever this coalition is, it isn't a permanent thing- once we've planted our flags and finished this conquest the MBC will split up and there will no doubt be some agreements drawn and whatnot, but I don't see any of these alliances holding the North for any extreme length of time (certainly not 5+ years)- if you can get whatever you have out, do it. If not- well it's not the end of the world.

As far as I can tell, the Imperium strategy thus far is to bore us to death on some weird promise of future retribution. I'm just excited for this conquest to be over, and to ruthlessly feast on the small groups of players trying to stake their claim in the North, it should be ~content~ and ~good fights~ for the forseeable future.

Wait for dek to fall and poo poo to blow over, and jumpclone and firesale your poo poo, but yeah Dek is chopped up like firewood and stacked waiting for the match to set it all ablaze.

Odds are 6 months from now we'll have Deklein back again as long as the cycle continues, and the composite alliances of the MBC set upon each other like the idiots they are, and we will just move back in and sweep them off.

Replacing the infrastructure in Deklein is going to be a bitch though, but that damage is already done, every single tower in Dek has been defanged.

How come? Isn't he already trading large volumes of Isk to people apropos of nothing to "attack CFC"?

Seems it would be trivial to say "Oh yeah here's a 1T mercenary contract to Shitfuckers United to attack Wankers Incorporated" *IRL Shitfuckers United owner wired him $800, CCP can't check cause they're a game company in Iceland*

RMTing large sums of ISK is pretty hard, especially when you consider that Tranquility has less active players than any given medium pop WoW server.

I mean, I get your point- just selling a trillion isk or even 300b would be pretty hard.

Don't store your entire life in a conquerable/destroyable station? This has been a thing for as long as conquerable nullsec has existed. Also, when your citadels are blown up in K-space, your poo poo goes into the aether and does not drop as loot, you can redeem it for a fee of a % of its value iirc. The worst regions to live in will be the Drones, because they have 0 permanent stations for you to keep your poo poo safe in.

Several years later, following my sex change operation and starting in 2012 I began following mittens around to his public appearances as a groupie and one night I got backstage. Long story short I wake up in a bed at the Marriott and mittens is laying next to me, having a cigarette and room service. He turned his face to exhale the Newport smoke and kept staring out the window instead of looking back. Out of what I can only assume is shame he didn't make eye contact while he said, "get a forums account."

He didn't say exactly what forum but deep in my heart I knew.

Something about the thin imitation gold chain against his pale white hairless chest told me I was about to enter the world of a low-rent space mafia, but I'm a sucker for these things so here I am.
