ohhhh. right.

Okay next question. Did that question assume the POS was anchored but not onlined, or were Fighter Bombers able to reach the stick through shields at some point.

Probably the former or you could assume by "bashing" it was meant defanging an onlined one

That's what it would seem to imply if it was a straightforward question, right? But the scenario is so dumb it makes me think it's not meant to be taken seriously or is otherwise jacked up. Is the applicant assumed to think POS shooting with a super is an acceptable idea?

You'd be amazed at what you can get away with in petitions. Many years ago there was some server instability and crashes going on in everquest 1. This was around the time the solteris raid was released. I was missing one piece of my epic weapon and the thing was a bitch to get because you needed a 54 person raid to get it.

So i thought what the hell i'll submit a petition saying i beat this raid for my epic weapon and looted the piece then the server crashed. They denied it the 1st, 2nd and 3rd time but i was persistent and one day a GM popped into the game and traded me the piece just so they could close my case.

there are long range fighter bombers that can shoot a tower now

also the correct answer is: I would have anchored a small tower before hand and shot the pos while I was aligned

And the question is what would you do in that situation, and not how would you have done it differently. So if you and your scrub buddy in your solo supers were tackled by 50 roleplayers, what would you do?

actually the correct answer is I dont give a gently caress enough to solo siege a pos as that money isn't going to me anyways

Honestly, I don't have a problem with this. The fighters have 10 missile salvos and then the carrier has to warp to the gate and recall the fighters then sit there for 30 seconds or more while they're refueled and stuff. The fighter MWD is only good for about 200km at 10km/s then they're slowboating for a minute+. People are just mad that a carrier can finally live up to its name.

e. name being Force Projection. Just like IRL carriers.

Oh, this is what IRL carriers do, irl

Money moons are held by individuals, whom pay a tax to the alliance.

This tax goes towards staging towers, citadels, cap fuel, drones, cap srp, etc.

The HABIT question of what would you do if you and a buddy were caught in your supers, bashing a pos? Is that the one with the roleplayers

Other than the comedy answer of "roleplay my way out of it" I would want to know why I've been placed in that situation without my personal subcap support gang and alongside another scrub with just a super logged in.

That question is like waking up drunk at the wheel with a highway patrolman knocking on your window.


If you're talking about the you and a buddy are bashing a POS in lowsec, and you get tackled by a N+1 gang- what do you do?

It's a trap.

Pre-citadel supers couldn't hit the POS Stick with FiBos, and post-Citadel, why the gently caress are you bashing a POS with 1 other dude in a super.

e: Nevermind, it's an offline small.

Thought so, in which case there is an incentive to bash the towers yourself with that model of tower ownership, think thats what grath was talking about in a podcast or something

People are willing to help in most cases, depends on how far away it is, fatigue and all that.

PL never really defends POS's, it's just not worth the :effort: when we can reinforce/kill whatever tower goes up in it's place in less than a siege cycle.

I guess when you have the biggest supercap umbrella it opens up a large amount of tactical options like that, will be interesting to see what :ccp: comes up with to replace moon mining though as they seem to like small corps having a chance off late

Until then, I cannot believe there was a derail about Atlantis. Good grief. That is not something I expected to see.


I did enjoy, thank you.

You'll notice a lot of derails in this thread. Some cool ones, some weird ones. Atlantis derail is unique to me and doesn't happen often.
My favorite derail has to be food related tho.

Some people have the wrong opinion that ribs can be boiled or that Tofu is food. Many of us have tried to make them see the light, unfortunately they remain blind and refuse to join civilization, preferring to remain unwashed barbarians.

I mean granted the proper thing to smother fries in if you are trying to fill those arteries is cheese, bacon, chives, and maybe some chili. But in a pinch I guess cheese curds and gravy will do.

You can also try to add cooked sausage to a poutine for added taste. The cheap kind will do, but I recommend bradwurst or the likes.
And Bacon too. But you know.. Bacon is good with everything. Never not add Bacon to stuff.
