I do miss the sleips though. What did he call the last batch of ships he'd take out? It had an equally dumb name. Just call it rear end Tarts and embrace the pun

Yeah I liked boat fleets too, he just seems like a guy who is just having fun so it's hard for me to dislike him no matter how dumb he can be.

DisgracelandUSA posted:He's specifically talking about Space Violence, TopGoon, FreedomSquad, Reavers. MiniLuv is a SIG and operates 24/7, peacetime or war time (the killing is good when everyone is red); Reavers is mostly dead, or is on a deployment-only thing (only active when deployed). The only other current SIGs are Bomberwaffe and EG AFAIK (edit -- and BlackOps). The only currently active squads are Theta and Space Violence, and I think Space Violence is less differentiated from peace time Main Fleet at the moment, while Theta is far more social than anything else unless you're inspectah-deklein crew or whatever they call it now. What these posts boil down to is simply "the people I used to play with aren't doing stuff anymore, therefore there is nothing to do.". You guys can move your goal posts all day long, but it all comes down to the fact there's plenty to do, and has been for quite a while.

Boat may not be the guy you want leading super crazy expensive fleets, but he is a national treasure and the game would be worse without him. Asset to any group just for content generation.

Kalenn Istarion posted:
Mmm, I think SmilingVagrants point is that the coalition/alliance doesn't really cater to a lot of different types of play styles. Before I continue, I may be entirely wrong because I'm not in SV and I don't do nullsec play hardly ever (every three months or so), and I'm not trying to diss what Mark Atreides is doing at all. SV is still a thing, but as far as I understand it, it was (lol) essentially a home base patrol of Deklein. At least, that's how KF dudes in MiniLuv described it. At that point, the only functional difference between doing SV and going on all-all or gsf-all pings for homeland defense is the community it fosters and the doctrines they call for. Now, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with a squad like this existing, but the effective difference between doing what (I think) SV does and what general public pings to do run fleets with the same general purpose is small. Compare that to SV of yesteryear, which focused on small / microgang activity, living in NPC nullsec, far away from the gentle bosom of Goondom. I'm not gonna make a statement on whether old-SV was good for the alliance, strategic, non-strategic, a drain on resources, etc. But I will say that the existence of SV in that form added to the breadth of things you could do in GSF with the support/backing of an infrastructure and leadership that made it possible. Again, take this with a grain of salt, as I asked to be purged from all SIGs/Squads (minus Theta) once MiniLuv started getting crazy, so I don't know what SV actually does, but even if I'm wildly wrong on the purpose of SV fleets, I think the point still stands. Again, I'm a big loving spergy tryhard who could super sperg about SIGs, Squads, their problems and their benefits, and what, in my opinion, the alliance should do about them alllllll fuckinnggggg dayyyyyy so keep responding if you want me to keep sperging. Edit: CainFortea posted:What these posts boil down to is simply "the people I used to play with aren't doing stuff anymore, therefore there is nothing to do.". That's one interpretation, but also see above. Speaking from a 3 months ago perspective, if reavers weren't deployed, there wasn't much place to get in on organized fun that wasn't in the homeland and wasn't roaming all the way to black rise or cloud ring or something. TopGoon regularly deployed to hostile zones, and old-SV lived in NPC nullsec which is, by definition, hostile. DisgracelandUSA fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Apr 12, 2016 |

If you do stick around for another 30 days and you're interested, there are a sight-seeing spots across Eve and I bet you could get a small fleet together of people here to show them off to you. Most of them are fairly lore heavy and outside of high-sec though. Some of them are even built in response to player driven events, like the Amarr memorial (which I think is still there?) and B-R graveyard.

I have bookmarked it for future use and I have a mining upgrade skill working for me. It is a 4 day one that lets me use my mining laser upgrade 1 module. I think I might take a brief look at the missions before I have to log off for the evening, but yikes, it's been a long time since I had this kind of excitement about a game and I wish I could putter about all night again. I am so eager to travel about and discover things and mine some lonely asteroids!
