neoliberal shithead
A redeemer with a maxed out pilot would be incredibly easy to extract anyway as long as you have fuel in the bay, just slap a covert cyno onto a nullified t3, burn to a convenient extraction point, undock the blops, and jump out. The likelihood that anybody will be camping or bubbling the undocks of random Dek stations at this stage of the war is virtually zero.

I dont post on reddit. So is GSF the reddit group???questionmark?

Probally the main difference is that GSF is much much larger and probally better organised. Even if we gladly accept newbies in TDB, if you are completly new it might be better to join GSF since they have a great wiki and are also very helpful.

But just check both out and see what you like. Some like the Mega Alliance and some like a smaller group.

Reddit isn't bad per se. r/eve is filled to the brim with smug TEST shitposters among other things. Sometimes it's okay, and I post on there every so often. I prefer SA. Not only is activity here required to get into Goonwaffe, which is my goal once I gain better experience and a better grasp of my goals in EVE. The Goon community is actually quite nice. Something Offal is my favorite part of the site, though I mainly just lurk for recipes.

poo poo posting seems to be endemic among EVE players.

I was just curious because I haven't played in a very long time, and even then I didn't have any idea what I was doing. I'm assuming Ten Dollar Bond is the one that cares about sov, and goonswarm is the one that doesn't care? I kind of got the vibe that ten dollar bond was the more relaxed corp however, and goonswarm was the more serious one though from reading through the threads.

Nobody did this. You just want to see if it's a good idea without taking responsibility for your idea if nobody shows interest.

Short version - Goonswarm Federation was the largest alliance of The Imperium, which ran most of the Northwest for a few years until the rest of Eve mustered their collective butthurt and forced us out. Hence "cares about sov but doesn't have any" which is more or less accurate (although I would say we care less than we did). TDB is probably more akin to Groon than GSF on the chill-serious axis, they have (had?) one or two systems somewhere but don't seem super serious about building up massive holdings.

TDB is pretty chill. We're starting out with a constellation in the Querious thunderdome.

I like that there's a small number of guys in jabber and I can recognise their names. It has a feel like Theta did. Where you can chat to people.
