IMHO, the best Curse fit is still the classic nanocurse, just updated for tiericide:

When you load it into PyFa, you'll see a ridiculous cap stability number and be tempted to remove the egress rigs. Trust me, you want them. You use the neuts 90% of the time; the nos are simply for targets of opportunity. The small neut is taken intentionally -- not only is it good for capping out frigs chasing after you, but it cycles twice as fast as the medium, so in a gank situation where you can safely close to 15-18km it's really good for keeping a primary empty. If you're gonna throw faction at this poo poo, upgrade the small neut first, then the shield extenders, then the med neuts.

Super handy, thank you. I guess I was undervaluing speed and mobility in my other fits. I suppose that's way more important in small gang fights.

Oh, there are counters.

Although it does put the lie to the constant crowing here about PH being cute newbies. Sure, PL and NC show up to PH's timers, and PH uses PL's forums and jabber, but they're totally different, for reasons such as

And ultimately a timer is a timer, not much isk (if any) is lost in creating it. What's more effective -- throwing a fleet into a meatgrinder to win a timer, or constant harassment that keeps PL and NC permanently leashed to the North for the next N years because they're unwilling or unable to let PH fend for themselves

I'm not sure this is a huge revelation, the entire point of PH is to have someone do the bitchwork so PL only has to login to drop a ton of doomsdays on things.

I'm not paraphrasing anyone. You said Interceptor fleets are boring. In fact the most boring thing you've ever done.
I think they're a lot more fun than BS fleets or even cruiser fleets in which all people do is align to a celestial and shoot until its time to warp off. I feel like with interceptor fleets, you have a lot more freedom to move around and try to do poo poo as an individual player while being part of part of a bigger fleet.

I might be wrong, but I think she means interceptor vs. interceptor is the most boring thing, not just interceptors in general (which are fun).

Interceptors can be a lot of fun when hunting other classes of ships or acting as tackle. But when you're just warping after other Interceptors it becomes tedious.

Like.... We've been warping after the same fleet for 45 minutes now but any minute now we will catch them.

The problem is, Querious pretty much only stays stable because everyone voltrons on an aggressor. Which has some really weird side effects. Take Rote, for example -- they own what's arguably the best or second-best ratting pocket in Querious. But they're a little tiny group; there is nothing they could do to stop PH, or Brave, from taking that pocket from them. The reason PH hasn't is because as soon as public opinion becomes "look at them picking on the little guys" then all of Querious forms up to put them back in their place, and they can't afford to fight two wars right now.

I'm generally of the opinion that this is an exceptionally poor move from Gobbins, though. Burning the ships (whether by abandoning your safe space, or by setting 100% tax rate, or w/e) typically doesn't get you more PvPers -- it just gets you a bunch of carebears in fleet who are now feeling bitter about being moved and running out of money for ships.

Oh, and that A2- buyback program is something else. Not only are they offering only 80% of Jita buy prices (i.e. Mad Max 2: Beyond Firesale), but notice that the person they're being instructed to contract their poo poo to... is not in PHorde. Namely, it's an alt of Suas.

Rote moved into that pocket because they bought it off the previous people who were renters to DARK. and we had no issue with them staying if they wanted to abide by the thunderdome rules. They were game for a while but left because of some reason or the other.

I'd say dual damps with targeting range scripts. That hits the Orthrus and other baddie-boats right in the nads.

You do realize that there were times I would cruise around with a friend for literally hours hunting some dude in lowsec just for a single kill? Sometimes it's not the destination, my friend, but the journey. If you're over-focusing on the destination, perhaps you chose the wrong one?
