I don't understand how anyone makes money hauling stuff at the rates they do in GoonFleet, but they must because lots of people keep doing it.

Also, to echo someone else above, I understand that it's not all peachy keen for Horde, we're doing our best to make life miserable for them after all, but how can you say they have it worse than GF right now? We had 600 v 1800 last night in Saranen, and thats not counting the groups that were out blowing our other stuff up.

Don't get me wrong I'm having a blast still, but you're on the blobbing side, which is generally the MORE fun side to be on.

Because horde is thousands of newbies making a living in Fade. Ratting in Catalysts, mining in ventures. The experienced people spend most of their time tending to them, handing out ships, working on the infrastructure. Building something, a home. On top of that the horde isn't very rich so every cent has to be spent carefully.

It's not ship spinning while looking at the calendar for the date when all the bad people will go away.

The key to making the big money was that there was a non insignificant amount of export traffic from deklein. Sure each way the traffic might be pretty cheap compared to something like black frog, but most of the routes are established with cynos in place and having traffic both ways almost triples the profit. Shipping right now is pretty lovely though.

FCON is fidelas constans, an alliance that lived up in branch that most people made fun of for having some weird honor code involving not suicide ganking and stuff. Generally a disliked ally who also refused to stop shooting holesquad people who were on coalition fleets because :byodood: NBSI

Fidelas Constans, an erstwhile ally of Goonswarm Federation. They were unusual in that they were a democracy -- most powerful null security alliances are dictatorships or autocracies. They were a poor cultural match to Goonswarm Federation, to put it diplomatically.

I think most people can get the newbie part, but a lot of this contains blatant lies. Let's examine them.

This is a lie thanks to IWI. But let's suppose it's the truth. If PH is stupid enough to somehow not have managed to feed at the trillions of ISK trough that IWI provided, then you really are hopeless.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the exact same narrative that GSF often trots out? Experienced bitter vets tending newbies, handing out ships, and working on the infrastructure while the newbies made a living in Fade Deklein by ratting and mining? GSF built a home in Deklein and were basically building another home in Pure Blind. Like, this isn't unique to PH and GSF can and will have the same experience again.

Zephyrine posted:

And if you read a single post by Dalael, you'd realize that GSF's cup runneth over in content. They're not ship spinning waiting for the bad people to go away - they're going out there and killing them.

Look, just post the truth. Even if it's as simple as 'I wanted to win so I jumped ship'.

Oh my god you are so appallingly dumb. :psyduck:

There are fleets from Saranen every day. Multiple. Of varying doctrines and FCs. An entire thread and SIG devoted to solo sov hacking even exists if you really are the "undocking go-getter" that you seem to be posturing yourself as. There are currently more targets to shoot and more fleets to go on than ever before.

We are outnumbered to gently caress. Fozziesov favors attackers. Our pubbie ratlord allies abandoned us within weeks of this war starting. IWI is dumping trillions of ISK a week into the coffers of our enemies. What on earth did you think would happen in this scenario and how would you have done it differently? The only reason PH is "building a home" (lol) at all is because big daddy super dick PL props up their flailing softbodies.

Quit with this Kevin Costner noble savage Dances With Wolves bullshit. If you have an issue with a personality, try talking privately with them! You know, instead of running away from all your problems whilst making a big dumb babby post about it that manages to say fuckall despite its unholy word-count.

GSF has a lot of space to recover, so it should take them a bit of time to take it back. Especially when some of the renters moving in are moving up some ADMs every day. I'd be surprised if the vcbees program doesn't return.

And no, there wasn't an alarm to evac stuff from Dek. But I sure did help a lot of people get their stuff out. 'Your super should be safe in ya0' a few weeks before we lost it, as I saw one person say.

I'd say this depends on what you quantify as 'Rich'.

The IWI thing is directly funded by metrics in the warzone, it's not and never has been 'here have a couple hundred billion isk'.

Horde and karmafleet are almost mirror images of one another.

There's your problem right there.

As for genuine progress in the war. GSF is not making any. The main strategy at the moment is to try and wait out the MBC. To bore them until their member participation in the north drops below GSF numbers. Then to roll the north and take it back.

LuiCypher posted:

Look, just post the truth. Even if it's as simple as 'I wanted to win so I jumped ship'.

I don't care how the war goes. What I do care about is what direction the group I am in is going. GSF and the Imperium at the moment exists for one single purpose. To gather page viewers, stream viewers and ad clickers for TMC. That is the first priority. Internet spaceships is secondary. And because Mittens literally lives on this Alliance, his stake in it has become so serious that no means. Inside or outside the game are spared to advance it. And all that makes me sick to my stomach. Which is why I left.

When I joined Horde the conflict had started to turn. O1Y was bubbled most of the day and swordfleets often held the station grid. I expected Horde to be ousted from Fade within the month.

I believe in total I lost about 4.5 billion isk on ITL from start to finish.

On the management part.

On pure shipping I made around 150 million isk per hour in profit while having 11 accounts dedicated to the task. (5 jump freighter accounts, 6 cyno accounts)

If I wanted to make isk. I would have put a Carrier on each accounts or even just an Ishtar and ratted in Deklein instead.
