Do you even kill anything with those things? The last time I saw them on grid they'd warp in, shoot something (that wouldn't die), a few dudes get tackled and die, and then repeat until Boat dies.

What a blast!

Yeah, we literally don't kill anything. This is only what ~I~ managed to get on. Considering I fly a blaster fit Taranis, there's a bunch of poo poo I didn't manage to get in range to shoot at. Most of those (xcept for the Moros) were done using that tactic you said. Warp, shoot, warp out until boat dies.
Yup... loving lame interceptor fleets.

I'm not mad or upset because other than her occasional bad posts, (which everyone makes, lets face it noone posts perfect all the time) she's been a stellar person both in the alliance and in this thread. I was just recommending Groon as a better alternative than Pandemic Horde because Pandemic Horde is a god drat awful choice, there really is no redeeming features of that group for an established player. Groon is extremely chill and relaxed, I've flown with groons quite a bit and they're great people (except Pavka who loses insane blingy poo poo in dumb ways).

Confirmed Groon are the chillest of chill-space-bros. The pineapple is the western space emperor we need. With a heart of pineapple and a fist of iron.

Though sometimes you have to drop everything and dive head first into the unknown and I can't think of a more different experience than PH.

Did the memorial fleet start entosising nodes or something? I thought they were just derping around in low sec, least that's what it looked like.

I've never extracted skills for the same reason. I've spent a hell of a lot on injectors though.

It wasn't an easy choice because of this very reason. I knew I'd unlikely ever use those skills again, but to lose them seemed to tug at my heart strings. In the end, the desire to turn an alt into a dread pilot won me over. In truth, I'd do it again. I'll always have the skill books injected to remind me where I started, the skill points have just gone onto a better purpose.

The alt in question received 300,000 SP per 500,000 I stripped out. While this meant I lost some SP I saved a bunch of money. I think it was 30+ bil for the injectors or 5 bil for the extractors. I'll never mine again, but I'll lose a load of Naglfars!
