Put PL and the RUS in the same timezone and they'd have been gone long ago. Their only saving grace is the fact they're in such a godawful time zone. Just look at the astonishing numbers put forth for the Fade timers by Horde+PL vs Goonswarm. Something trivially small; 150 total when both sides added together. People don't fight the Russians because the timers always come out in a lovely timezone you'll never ever get decent numbers in. They need to make a means to displace the timer like you could do with POS. After a certain HP threshold you can't change the stront value so people would just continuously keep it in that range for 8 hours to shift the reinforcement timer.

YouTuber posted:I've been recommending this to the thread for the better part of two weeks. I've been running a group over in Horde called ISBAD to teach newbeans who have hit the T2 cruiser skill range to play this style of play properly. Drop the neuts though, we fit them like this because the ratters have a huge explosive resistance hole. I've been thinking about trying this fit for the last few days now, but I find the cost very prohibitive. Is that for Solo or small gang? I already lost 3 astero so far and its hurting the wallet. I'm not too keen on losing a Stratios due to the price. I tend to take too long before disengaging or attacking things which in retrospect, was clearly bait. Making these kind of mistakes with a 500m ship is going to make me poor very fast.

You can drop most ships within 30-45 seconds with this fit. Neuts are only worthwhile for endurance fights, you're looking to get in and out quickly.

Youtuber's advice regarding neuts is poo poo and you shouldn't listen to him

It depends on what you're hunting, and where. When Goons lived in Dek and were being hunted, the go-to ship was a Tengu with deadspace small shield boosters and maximum firepower (counting on the ship's massive natural T/K resists to do most of the tanking vs Guristas damage types) -- capping out the ship to shut off its local tank was more efficient than taking guns to eke out higher DPS. If you live in an area where buffer-tanked targets are more frequent, then sure, the ACs might make sense. Personally, I'd rather have the neuts.

If you can make a compelling argument, that explains in details how it can actually help us take back our space, then I promise to use all the influence I actually don't have, to convince Mittens that we should indeed, go out and lose fleets after fleets. I just don't see how losing battleship fleets and using up what's left of the SRP will actually help us. If more people decide to leave because waiting 6 months is too much for them, then good bye to them and I hope they find a place where they can enjoy the game. I wish them well. The rest of us will keep undocking in swordfleets, siege fleets or solo boats and keep having fun. Not everyone needs a ping from a FC in order to undock.

I'd rather lose ships than sit in a station and laugh at people in local about how they're not getting content. It's one thing to try and bore your enemy, but it's another thing to bore yourself out where you end up looking for different options or quit altogether. There was simply nothing fun about swordfleets and siege fleets. Some people may not need a ping to undock, but I'd say quite a large majority do and that's why inaction leads to apathy.

Even buffer retardation fits like this: https://zkillboard.com/kill/53954917/ can be neuted out by a curse in < 1 minute at which point you've hosed em because they can't run any of their hardeners. The real question is, what's the smallest/cheapest possible ship you can use to effectively kill ratters, and I haven't worked that out yet. A shield Svipul comes close.

RhoA posted:stuff I largely agree with this but I also think this is why the solo ronin poo poo was introduced. I think this is a period of throwing stuff at a wall sort of and seeing what sticks -- what makes the line happy and feeling engaged and less apathetic. I also think we'll get there but we're going to have to maybe kiss some frogs first and siegefleet and swordfleet are the beginning of that transition into who the alliance is going to be able to do from a pvp standpoint. I think the doctrines will get better and things will look up for those who need pings to undock, I really do. Aren't goons the ones who always failed and kept at it until they didn't? Tenacity. Perhaps the true "reconquista" is one of our own identity  I prefer to look at it more as a renaissance myself but whatever it is will be, in the long run, good for us no matter what.

Proving that the groon PVP juggernot is alive and well, we went to solitude to dunk on some nerds. It went ok. We were waiting to drop on a lowsec citadel and kinda went all in when we saw the fax machine and weren't thinking about having dreads on standby, so as people died, they reshipped into triage and dreads, then burned them across syndicate unscouted to get into jump range. Because gently caress you, try and stop us.

I'm late to the party but re casual racism, I was in theta six months ago and at that time, jew-anything didn't seem at all frowned upon. People jewed, were jewing etc, you get the picture. I didn't care about it much then and I don't care now, but I do find it funny that there are people who will claim there's no such thing going on, then admit that it actually does when people come forward, grudgingly so because everyone else is doing it too! Not to mention, according to Vyst at least, rooting it out takes effort and who can spare some? I get it, it's a thing in all of eve so the least you can do is own up to it. You can even be smug about it, like say, we're trying to get rid of it, what about your lovely alliance?

I have about 70 million SP in basically every frigate/destroyer/cruiser/command destroyer/hac hull and missile/gun/drone weapon system and feel like spending some time settling down in/near some mission hub anyplace. I recommend Ministry of War and Quafe. You have Quafe stations everywhere in new Eden therefore have mission agents no matter where you are. I don't know about their LP rewards tho.

The whole point of GSF is to play space ships with goons, do some fun carefree poo poo for a while then come back. 6 months is a long time to wait for a video game you pay a monthly fee for, especially with summer right around the corner. That is more than enough time for people to just find other stuff to do that isnt a bad game. If sword fleet is fun for you, enjoy it I guess, because its most of the menu for a while apparently. Denying the enemy fights to bore them out of the conflict is a viable strategy but it comes with the risks of doing the exact same thing to your guys. It is starting to tip in that direction IMO. Most people dont get to take part in the ~metagame~ in a meaningful way, and to a line member weaponized boredom for 6 months is not much different than boredom in general. Like a good chunk of us are adults with jobs and responsibilities, meaning there is limited video game time so...

The whole point of GSF is to play space ships with goons, do some fun carefree poo poo for a while then come back. Think about it... We're now surrounded by enemies. We can literally undock and find a fight. PVP has never been so easy to find. I've had small gang fights, solo fights, large fleet fights. I've been part of interceptor fleets, sieges fleets, hurricane fleets.. What is so wrong with our current locations other than the fact that some people feel like they can't rat to make isk? 1 year ago, people were complaining that they couldn't find PVP unless they traveled 30 gates. Now people are complaining because there's pvp right on the undock? Or because they can't rat to their hearts content? Or people are complaining we're not undocking BS? Cuz I too love spending 30 seconds waiting for my ship to align everywhere. I too like aligning to a planet during fleet fights and then doing nothing else but mashing F1 until the FC warps the fleet away. Its so much fun than interceptors which allows each player autonomy. Oh god do I hate being able to just log off wherever I am once I get bored or have to go. I miss having to fetch an alt the next day so that I could scout my way home or risk losing something that wouldn't be reimbursed. Poor us. How will we ever survive?
