also, funny thing about fozziesov, literally everyone in f/pb/dek taking space right now, with the exception of phorde, is recruiting renters to grind ADMs for them :laugh:
Isn't that kind of good and also an explicitly intended outcome? Not necessarily the renting model, but making ratting/mining/general in-space activity important for holding space.

my entire roster of eve mans is pretty much built around operating in hostile territory and boy howdy

i haven't logged in this much since excavating all of the jewels out of test alliance's delve corpse

I'm still short of using all my accounts full-tilt. If we start using a double blops bridge oppression fleet up into the far tip of Deklein, then maybe.

Probing yourself a wormhole to highsec would likely be a safer plan than a Channel Dash through Pure Blind.

Don't have to worry about defending loving structures that can be sov-lazered by an industrial ship and focus on just shooting people.

So what you're saying is that losing sov is awesome because now Goonswarm can do ~wulfpax~? ;)

What I don't understand is why PL and Goons never decided to just merge and helicopter dick the entire game. Is it an ego thing amongst the top leadership? I would think that not even the rest of Eve being bankrolled by people like IWI and the other casinos could stand up to Goons + PL. Oh well I guess that after B-R there were probably too many bruised egos to make that happen.

We did that years ago, to the point where we had enough Titans in our group to AOE doomsday carriers to death. Oddly enough capitals were rebalanced a few months later.

Things have changed dramatically since those days however. Most (if not all) of the pro-Goons leadership in PL have either quit, taken a backseat or simply joined us. In the meantime PL have become best buds with the core of the anti-Goons brigade; EVOL, RKK, Finfleet, ISRAD and so on. The only relationship we can look forward to is being best of frenemies in Saranen forever more.

I don't think anyone really believes we're going to take AND hold all of our old space, the new mechanics would make it a nightmare of constant pings for defense ops and entosis ships. As someone who has personally gone through hundreds of units of Stront in the last couple of months, I can confidently say that everyone hates that mechanic and wants to avoid it as much as possible.

We've been pretty explicit that future holdings are based on proximity to Saranen and anything more than a couple of bridges or a couple of dozen stargates from there isn't realistic to conquer and keep under the current sov/jump fatigue mechanics.

e: which is not to say there's nothing that can be done to make life difficult for anyone else who does try to live in other parts of the galaxy :black101:

The landlords do have to live in their space, though - even if they're not the ones shooting rats and rocks, they have to be on hand to defend. Fozziesov and Phoebe jump mechanics mean that it's not really viable to be an absentee landlord holding many regions in the way it used to be.

Having the renters in the alliance doesn't obviate the need to have people on hand to fight off opportunistic sovhackers. If you leave renters unaided to fend off groups like Exodus who will wand systems to provoke fights, you're going to come back to find a dumpster fire where your rental empire used to be.

No, neither version scanned: he had one syllable too few and you had one too many.

Edit: I thought yours was "sov hackers", sorry. In that case the problem with the scansion is that line places the stress on the "bitch"/"ers" syllable and that sounds horrible with "hackERS".

Yea, no, ISRAD isn't actually anti goon, we just like to play eve our way, and it turned out DJ didn't like that back in the day. Yea we like shooting goons, just like we like to shoot anyone else we shoot. If anyone thinks we're frothing at the mouth to kill the g00nies they are highly misinformed.

yeah -- i'm not faulting that, just finding it amusing that the optimal path to getting this done is renting

not even casting aspersions towards it either -- we had renters to grind ADMs too, it's just how poo poo rolls in fozziesov
