BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
The problem with GSF moving in to a wormhole is you'd still just have like 30 dudes who actually want to go fly space ships and 2000 dudes who want to rat or whatever.

It doesn't matter what you have for trufflepigs and content creators when that chain is just going to get rolled so clay haakari can rat the c3.

There's an intermediate option: Thera. GSF becomes the Astronomican.

Welp, after about a month of considering it I'm back in this poo poo game. Thankfully I was in Jita when I quit 5 years ago. I do have a fully fitted Domi in some station in Delve. Is there any way to sell that poo poo without having to enter the station?

The logistical problems of moving GSF into Thera would be immense, and alliance money would be problematic at best but holy poo poo it would be a new generation of The Eye of Terror.

It's totally unworkable though, cramming thousands of goons into a single system would be a god drat nightmare.

It's like the gank fleet could be literally anyone in injected, cloaked stealth bombers :confused:

You'd have to really be a big target for someone to bother doing this or be really dumb because it's a pretty expensive setup

No one that uses bombers isn't criminal sec status. The reasoning because if you're not criminal, just use talos for better damage instead. You also (I'm p. sure) cannot cloak if you're criminal sec status because you're "in combat" (FacPo is chasing you).

So the solution is, check local, check overview, check dscan. See too many people in system? Jump. See 3-4 throaway point cruisers? Jump. See a poo poo ton of cats/thrashers/brutix/talos/vexors/thoraxes/coercers/bombers OR you see a scan inhib? Jump. If they're further than 14 AU away, they can't reliably chain points to and keep you pinned down while the fleet warps 14.3+ AU in. And if you don't know how to jump before an instalock blackbird gets a point on you, lol, maybe you shouldn't be flying JFs?

Also, the game has never killed a freighter big enough to warrant spinning up enough fresh, clean, gank alts to kill a jump freighter. It's too much work, too much money.

JFs are retarded safe to travel in and are the cancer killing this game.

When there's a will there's a way guys. Everyone thinks they've got THE REASON why it wouldn't work, but does not even expend one iota of effort thinking "well hmm, how would we address the problem I am thinking of?" before posting.

It's all about subdivision and intelligence with wormholes. The more of wormhole space we conquer, the more we choke off from the pubbies that roam it, and the more our options grow in terms of transport chains. Too many dudes in system? Go find another C4 with a C3 static, set up a medium citadel, and assign ~30 active PVE-minded goons and be like "this is yours."

Those PVE dudes come under siege? Then you have one of the PVP-minded holes dispatch either a SwordFleet or NarcoSub fleet (which are loving perfect for wormholes by the way, since they hardly consume any of a wormhole's collapse mass.) The fleet zips down the chain to the PVE hole and lends a massive numbers advantage to any one that tries to gently caress with us.

On that note: just think about how loving brutal NarcoSubs in particular would be in wormhole space. Uncloaking and suddenly alpha'ing blingy pubbies' poo poo without local to warn them. The tear fountain would be an absolute deluge.

I don't know poo poo about wormholes, but I think it would be fun to give it a try. I've always been curious about wormholes but I've always heard it was :effort: which I'm pretty allergic too.

You'd probably have to set up some more "classes" for people like me who know little to nothing about wormholes but are eager to learn.

Yeah I mean my whole point is that with wormholes (just like nullsec), the more dudes/dudettes you have devoted to it, the easier it becomes by several orders of magnitude. Years ago it used to be tough, but there's so many fantastic wormhole mapping apps, ship options, citadels, etc. available nowadays. Beside learning how to scan, training a few scanning skills to 3 and 4, and reading a short wiki entry on how wormhole collapse/respawn mechanics work, that's basically all you need to get started. All of the PVE content in wormholes is extremely well documented these days as well.
