Not to interrupt the freighter vs ganker slapfight, but stuff is happening in Saranen currently - welpfleet ganked a FAX, which PL dropped a poo poo load of titans on, one of which bumped off and we're trying to kill it with bombers.

No sign of NC. currently, as masters don't often stick their necks out for slaves.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
Got to heal dudes for a couple hours today. Denying people killmails is more fun than getting them.

Couple days ago I asked if I should be approaching/sticking to the person in my fleet being shot and got no answer, today I tried it and the extra healing throughput saved a couple expensive ships that would've otherwise died. My ship was worth 1 mil so I didn't care if approaching their primary got me killed, and in the end it didn't anyway.

The more it costs the fewer forms of industry becomes viable in remote locations. What do I care if I make 400 million in a single trip. If that's the only trip I'm making this week?

I think our efficiency peaked when people were literally building T1 battlecruisers in north west Deklein and we could export them to Jita and they could be sold at a profit.

JF services would still be super valuable at prices way higher than they have been recently. Hell, in the past they were easily 5 or even 10 times the cost per m3 and we still shipped hulls by the hundreds (or entire JF loads of compressed minerals). It was just that it was all going in the other direction because all industry & mining was in highsec.


CCP clearly wants the game to be more localized. I even agree with that more or less. Shipping an entire market's worth of T1 battlecruisers is dumb, doesn't matter whether it's importing or exporting. I just think their game design for that goal has been poor, and the order in which they've implemented things wrong. One step for the eventual goal of local self-sufficient groups is gonna have to be a reduction in shipping.

It just has to be done in a clever and gradual way, rather than a dumb blunt instrument like jump fatigue.

avatarinwin posted:

okay, so since a 20-30 second spooling timer is absolutely unacceptable, and being able to jump only from border systems is out, what would you suggest giving to gankers to allow them to kill something other than a stupid/afk/dced/lazy JF? Or should the ability to kill people like you who spend the tiny amount of effort needed to make yourself unkillable be impossible?

e: or the ability to interrupt logistics at all? Currently nothing can stop jump freighters from resupplying an alliance of thousands with only a few pilots

Solution? Apply maximum :ccp: logic: T3 pirate capitals made of bling, with one possible configuration that lets them enter and launch nullification-canceling interdiction bubbles in highsec (but the ship itself is 'illegal' so faction police and station/gate guns shoot on sight, and activating any pirate modules gets you concorded no matter what)

Just a heads up i know a few people that have run a JF serice or ran with one and not die. I think you have to be incompetent to lose jfs I mean unless a blue Titan shoots one of your neutral jf alts in lowsec.

Mostly bored without "loving around" SRP. Barring weekends where I make time to be antisocial as gently caress, I rarely have even 1 continuous hour to do poo poo. Saranen standing going away was dissapointing too; I was finally getting to know some people.

If I could, my wish would be for something like a Little Mac (punchout inspired) fleet, 1 - 10 people and punch up in terms of killing dudes and small fleet actions. In and out in 30 minutes.

That said, this new carrier instalock fighter instablap just shits on it.

Fake Edit: I'm thinking of either: unfucking pyfa or making a .Net version of eve fitting. Anyone got any outstanding complaints about the tool?

Short version is that SMA pissed of some in game casino magnates who paid a lot of people to go shoot them. When we didn't smack the interlopers down with ruthless efficiency everyone we've ever dumpstered since the Great War decided to come along for the ride, and we decided to retreat from deklein and stage out of lowsec rather than burning all our assets along with our space. Also co2 backstabbed us, so we're at war with them too.
