So according to the sovmap you've made little to no progress and had little success holding systems- except for a handful of systems in Fade and dumpster space in Pure Blind.

Okay. Thanks for the update!

It is far easier to Jack stuff with lower ADMs. Grid holding has very little to do with it. Pitched battles rarely happen, as usually when MBC defends it's with overwhelming numbers.

Also with lower ADMs, the more likely you can ninja a system.

But please, go on about how ADMs have no impact on sov. :allears:

An impressive ability to miss the point, but I'm struggling to state it in simpler terms: the imperium won't recover its sov when it gets ADMs low enough that it can sneakily set a few timers. It'll retake its sov - assuming that happens, which I do - when the balance of forces is sufficient that it doesn't matter if there are a few more minutes to hang around on grid, because they'll kill whatever comes along to try and disrupt enotosing. At that point, as happened in the first part of the war in the other direction, they'll contest a couple of timers then the opposition will gently caress off and the rest will be a dawdle.

Edit: as deadtear said, what I was saying about swordfleets is that they're about keeping people logging in. Not logging in is habit forming.

What Endie and Globby and all the D names + Ordo Garr here are saying is they would like you to form up 500 or 1,000 dudes and present yourselves to be mowed down by 3,000 nerds so they dont have to fruitlessly watch IRC for something to do

What Dan Brown level of reading-between-the-lines conspiracy theorising do you have to employ to get "inty fleets are about keeping people active until the opposition tide recedes and boat will very possibly save you again by doing so" to mean "please fight pitched battles"?

phone autocorrect will generally value words that are the same length as the word you printed and whose letter substitutions are adjacent to one another, like "e" and "r"

I missed those (I was taking an eve break at the time). I really like that idea in the abstract; I'd go nuts trying to practice with it. Especially given how bad PL is at fitting ships ;)

Season 2 is getting announced soon, so if you can find 4 more people go hog wild. I really like the Fight Club format on paper, and seeing it in play worked out.

I'm working on the re-uploads since EVE_NT moved all their stuff to a new channel on both Twitch and YouTube. :negative:

This is the playlist for Fight Club Season 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXobZH4KI6A The first two weeks are being re-uploaded at the moment.

I thought the 3 min timer was already in. Did that not make it with the Citadel patch? Or are you referring to even more changes?

No, it was quoted as 'late summer'. The change wont kill ganking, but will turn it into something vastly unfun for both the gank fleet and the bumper. And I, for one, cannot wait for the cries of the pubbie masses that say there's no counter to 30 something bombers landing on gate right as you decloak. I don't know if I'll be there for it, but I'll wake up one night with a smug sense of self satisfaction knowing that Fozzie was wrong and that the original was much preferred to the alternative.
