Just reactivated my accounts, have not played for 2-3 years. Thought with my summer holidays coming up I might lock myself in a darkened room with internet spaceships again. So all my stuff is in the middle of 0.0 from a deployment with CFC years ago and I am just packing up things and trying to catch up on game changes. I caught that CCP will not move your jump-able crap out of 0.0 anymore so I am going to have to move it myself. Currently packing up my stuff into an Archon, Anshar and a Moros but not undocking anything to move before I am sure i'm not getting a surprise so have some questions if you guys don't mind. The changes to jump mechanics had just come in/were coming in before I left with respect to fatigue so I can work that out, but there have been significant changes to carrier and dreads since. Is there anything I really need to know about before I plan a route and move my crap.

Max range is 5ly now (  )Fighters are an entirely different gameplay experience.

It sounds like a group of ships we could move through a capital wormhole very simply. It would only involve a lot of waiting for the right one to show up, either in your system or within one jump of your system. If you are in alliance and on goonfleet services I will explain the lurking process and get you moved. rain6637@goonfleet.com on jabber

Now I know my accounts are sorted and I have stock of where I am i'll get on with sorting comms and my application. I thought it would be a case of log in/pack up/ move Cyno alts and get to lowsec.

ullerrm posted:Eh, I think I'd have to respectfully disagree. I believe that what we're really talking about is: What is required to recruit and retain good PvPers? Some things I've noticed: Yeah, you're right. There is no need to differentiate between people who exclusively pvp and those who do both. I've only dealt with recruitment in wormholes where people who don't spend a decent amount of time pvping are detrimental to the group and all members are expected to help out with chores if they are able. This does lead to dumb things like people ratting only on alts to pretend they are 100% hardcore pvpers. I've also seen someone come by with 10 year old characters, the full set of cap + supercap bpos, several jump freighters, experience in fcing (mining ops), corp leadership (of a mining corp) and literally no experience in pvp as the aggressor. He was not considered. The things I looked for on killboards were like 100 lifetime kills to show a desire to pvp and no recent bouts of inactivity. Being able to keep yourself entertained by doing solo pvp (no matter how bad), or being a hunter (identifiable as being the interceptor or sabre on a 2-10 man kill in null) were a plus. Multiple expensive ratting losses in low and hisec, where you can only lose them due to your own stupidity, were bad. Bought mains and corp hoppers were red flags for obvious reasons This was all assuming they didn't have a vouch. Even going over people's killboards, apis, the character bazaar and doing an interview plenty turn out to be useless 1 week after being accepted. I've also seen people who look like you're average karmafleet alt turn into really good assets before they reach 10m sp. Pubbie recruitment is hard. Trials might be the way to go but I personally never like the idea of treating people on your team as second class citizens.

killboards are dumb metrics that don't take into account logi, scouting, pvp, pve, or solo. battlereports are cool and let you know if you traded losses, owned, or won but don't factor into whether you won the strategic objective and if that was worth it killboards are great for seeing if someone is an actual retard like screamingllama or bovril

frozenpussy posted:hole squad requires MSPaints? Yes. It started as an idea from our Groon members as a neat way to bump the recruitment thread and test people's basic literacy skills of the recruitment OP and to filter out those who apply to every squad without actually finding out what hole squad is (and who don't actually want to be in the squad anyway). Unofficially, its also a very small hurdle to jump to measure effort. An MS paint doesn't have to be artistically good or anything, but actually bothering to do it at all and maybe putting 30 seconds of thought into it to try to make it funny or clever might indicate you'd be an ok fit for the squad. Effort is necessary to survival in a small wormhole corp. A bit of effort beyond what years of GSF members have gotten used to. That, and posting. Slightly higher than average effort and posting are the core of the squad. That and if you spend all your time turbo krabbing and not helping out with scanning or hauling or other hole chores and we don't see you on jabber or comms or in fleet then you gunna get canned.

I swear it must be confirmation bias after the fact, but the consistency is uncanny. Yes. If I ever have to deal with recruitment again I will certainly do that. In return you can have a story about the dumbest person I've ever been blue to. After losing his poo poo in Futre Methods (garr khan's scam corp) he needed another wormhole corp to rat in. Not interested in using advanced techniques such as d-scan or scout alts, his plan was to simply spend enough hours ratting to replace his losses. This lead to things such as him following my anathema in a snake to rat in a new hole before I scanned all the sigs. Of course his replacemnt ships had to be flown in and that wasn't that easy. It started out with a billion isk tengu in Rancer. No matter what we told him he was convinced it would have been perfectly safe if not for the rats. On our advice he somewhat attempted to make a travel fit for his next ratting ship, but that one too died before generating a single isk. Two weeks later he had already forgotten that lesson and lost another no prop ratting snake in lowsec. He eventually just gave up on farming sleepers for money and decided ninja ratting in nullsec anoms was a better idea. One day our static had a nullsec exit to the absolute worst eve alliance: MATOU. Three times we went out that hole and tackled a ratting carrier. Three times we dpsed it down with 10 dudes while the 30 MATOU in local did gently caress all. The entire time our wunderkind was ratting in his snake in the system next door. He had found a bugged anom that had given him 19 waves and refused to leave it behind. That snake died within a week as well. At that point he started selling doctrine ships and begging in corp chat to cover his ratting losses. A director then told him to rebuy his doctrine ships or get kicked, which led to the obligatory 600m t1 industrial in hisec loss. Followed shortly after by another 600m bestower. That one is extra special, because instead of flying a cloaky stratios in directly, he put it in a slow, paper thin ship then died to a solo HAC without so much as a bubble around. My favorite loss was when he shouted on coms that he had tackled a Sin and needed help killing it. That was followed 10 seconds later by: "I'm dead." It turned out he used those 600m stratioses to do lowsec relic sites and got dropped on. The story ends when he lost another stratios trying to fight a 6 man frigate and destroyer gang contesting his relic site. He managed to kill a single t1 destroyer and then quit the game. All together this lasted less than 2 months.

I was booted later because dod knew I'd never even gotten into the hole.
