Agreed but knocking them over gives us a chance to build something stronger.

As much as I'm enjoying the fighting, I'm looking forward to the rebuilding phase. It'll be interesting to see how GSF changes as a result of this current conflict.

This makes me think... By that point during the fountain war, TEST's directorship had stolen pretty much everything of valued and hosed off to PL and other places.
I'm proud and actually kind of surprised this hasn't happened to us yet. I know nothing about GSf's finance or how they're handled, so I'm wondering if there's any precautions taken to insure no one leaves with everything not nailed down.

gsf's finances are handled by people who are richer individually than the alliance

it's a pretty good way to safeguard yourself against theft

That's pretty neat on both the change itself, and how long it was held onto by GSF.

Could be fun to do whilst MBC are concentrated on Dek and not watching the other regions (like what's happening in Vale as you pointed out).

that works, but the most important thing is to have an alt in pandemic horde to do the hacking (don't hack PH's stuff on your PH alt obviously)

Good morning thread, I trust we are doing fine today. I read a lot of posts about losing territory this morning.

Does that mean when goon guys own sectors of space that it is seen as you are the law and can just zap people who come into the sector and not worry? Is that what the fighting is about? Who has most of the no security areas?

Tonight I am going to start the industry missions! Rock and I are going to level ourselves up!

Also I am delighted to see other people chilling and mining too! :D

No. This fighting goes on in a section of space known as nullsec, in which anybody can shoot anybody else without in game mechanical consequences (though there can be political consequences if you shoot the wrong person at the wrong time!). The reasons for trying to hold this territory have traditionally been for financial and strategic reasons, though this has become less true over time. Many argue (rightly or wrongly) that the only reason to actually hold space now is to be able to dickwave and have your name on this map.

In no security (nullsec) space anyone can zap anyone and there are no NPCs to straighten things out, its just purely PvP.

This map gets updated each day, but the newest one i linked below shows what we are losing. We are top left in yellow (The Imperium) and the white "neutral states" around us and the red blob in the middle are areas we are losing, though it is a lot worse than that map currently shows.



the black sections in the middle comprise low and high security space. if you open up your star map you would able to cross reference where you are versus this map; likely you are still in hisec at this point

edit: the map linked in the post above mine is the alliance version of this same map, but most alliances have agreements to work with other alliances, giving rise to "coalitions". these arent represented in game anywhere but are based off mutually agreed standings, so pilots in game can tell whether the boss says they hate the other guy or not

There are three kinds of space: high security space, where you are now, which is policed by NPCs that will automatically kill you if you attack someone else outside of certain very specific circumstances; null security space, which is completely lawless; and low security space, which is a sort of halfway house - you can attack people freely, but you will be flagged as a criminal for doing so and NPC sentries will shoot you if you do it near a station or a gate. Up until very recently, goons had the largest and most powerful empire in null security space and controlled several hundred star systems; at this point, they've lost most of it including their main home system and all their allies' home systems.

Space that you can conquer is default lawless -- there's no CONCORD protection there, and things like area-of-effect bombs and warp disruption bubbles that can prevent you from warping in an area or pull you away from the thing you warped to are allowed. Conquerable territory can be upgraded for PVE stuff and security, and have some other fringe benefits. When we're being kicked out of space, we lose access to the stations there and can't dock, and the PVE benefits go away. We also lose the flag on the map that says "this territory is ours."

Somehow a lot of players don't like the goons for some reason.
So they mobilized everyone to kill us.

Someone give DJ the Goonswarm Alliance corp and see a proper civil war with the Empire vs the (rebel) Alliance. The Imperliam still works as a meme for it, which seemed to be the end goal of the whole thing.Though I suppose being the rebels vs an empire that dosn't actually hold any territory isn't as interesting as it would be otherwise.
