Fighterbomber's can hit a Large POS stick, so unless that particular super pilot is really, really dumb, they'll never be within 9km.

They also recall very, very quickly.

They orbit targeted capitals at 5-7k, unless that's changed since I checked it last week. Also, do smartbombs affect their torpedo salvo ability?

I don't know this poo poo could sit well with anyone. Favor is a fickle mistress, and while this particular incident might just negatively impact GSF, if the playerbase lets this slide then who knows what other actions they'll feel comfortable taking in future wars depending on who they like better at the time.

Fitting a T2 smartbomb in dread's utility highs should actually give them fairly decent defense against fighterbombers, assuming the dread blob is densely packed enough.

It's been said before but it seems like the only real counter to a mass of caps/super caps, aside from n+1, will be an even greater mass of suicide ships.

I wasn't even aware until the other day that if you lose a tech 3 ship you lose a corresponding skill. I don't understand why they don't apply the same mechanic to capitals and super caps.

because t3cs have like 5 skills for you to lose, and they are all at an x1 multiplier

caps dont have 5 skill bonuses and their skills are like 12x multipliers

They're half alike. Eve rmt bans are only temporary if you aren't a goon. If you're a goon, they're permanent and you can never make another account again.

Don't get me wrong though I think it's a dumb move on CCP's part, but the whole "it's blatant favoritism" after CCP just played favorites on the avatar background change (among other things) is sort of a silly argument. Should CCP have done it? No. Is it a smoking gun that CCP are out to destroy GSF? No. Since they proved they can easily change it, my guess is once they see people calling them out on it they'll reverse the decision.

Also the notion that any Goon caught RMTing is permabanned but any non-goon caught doing the same is given a temp ban is equally stupid. That's disingenuous and provably false with various examples over the years. From what I can gather nobody came in and said IWI bankers had to be unbanned, just that CCP Bugatarist, if he had his own way, would've permabanned them. That could mean a bunch of different things so unless someone can prove that CCP's upper management stepped in then it's just you being a dumb baby. Most likely, CCP's Security Team are going to keep a tighter leash on those guys and IWI as a result.

I want to think CCP did all those things to DJ to spite the current GSF leadership and as someone who doesn't care about the name either way, I find that hilarious.

I mean it's not like CCP has ever tried to shown favoritism to anyone else, giving someone not one but a SECOND completely unique portrait background when the first one just wasn't good enough.

I wonder if Manifest was "bending the knee" at his computer when he changed the name for DJ.

The hurt posting over this is just loving hilarious given the retarded way mittens has been dealing with CCP lately, and the GoonSwarm name change is loving perfect because no one outside of GSF is going to give a poo poo.
