You lose any implants you plugged in. That's it.

if you had any implants in your brain, they are lost, but that is it, outside of some very special circumstances that won't apply to you

I wish there was an easy to access resource on the campaigns in the north from the range of "staying on TCF's couch" to "the fountain war". I had my largest streak of inactivity during the white noise/raiden/NC wars and VFK headshot, as well as TEST's rise and rebellion, so it's all kind of a blob to me - I hear references to MWD drakes and tracking titans, and logging supers with aggro at no risk - but never experienced it and don't know how to piece all the stories together into a timeline. Sadly the goonwiki doesn't cover these things in as much depth as the first great war.

I think somewhere in there is when we were supposedly switching to confluence so people stopped maintaining the wiki. I don't know when we finally admitted it wasn't happening but it was years after the move was announced.

Those are low level combat sites, some have interesting structures or scenery but thats about it. The lowest level ones appear as beacons like that on your overview. Higher level ones worth running and that pay good need to be scanned down and are in more dangerous space like nullsec and wormholes.

There might be some gurmistas in there that shoot you thats about it.

Mr. Vee was the first person I know of to successfully use bomberfleets. I'm sure there was some nobody though who launched two bombs at a pair of frigates and killed them both and will loudly dispute his claim to being the first person using mass bombs.

Yeah there was one bomb run in particular that Vee did, vs Atlas, that made Eve sit up and think "whoah there's something in this bomber thing after all." Although it was such a step-change in levels of death and viol;ence that the Atlas people were insistent that hax were involved.

This period was a mix of goons ascendant and supercaps online, and there are a lot of cool stories. Big events I can think of, in (the maybe correct) order:

1. Karttoon
2. CR (failure)
3. Crashing on TCFs couch in DKUK
4. MAX 2 (fails in H-W)
5. Heading down south (smacking Atlas pets around with some ex-TCF Section XIII)
6. Taking Dek over from TCF
7. Smacking ev0ke out of CR
8. Beating IT out of fountain, this leads to IT cascading and delve becoming a FFA
9. VFK by may (hint: not a good idea)
10. The north is now full of people who don't like GSF
11. GSF kinda hides for a few months
12. White Noise. loses branch to the CFC
13. The great reconquista; the CFC takes branch, tenal, tribute, and vale
14. poo poo starts to go down with Test
15. Fountain war

there are always a few small, highly elite groups that come up with an idea and are successful, but don't have the will/numbers to pull anything big off with it

I think AHACs were the same way, as well as sentry Gilas

HED-GP is probably the most camped 0.0 system? Maybe ec- as well? Although ec- has the side access through saranen/93pi
