I asked about this earlier. Stationary weapon platform dedicated to killing subcaps seems questionable because any concerted effort would just be countered by subcaps leaving the field.

Needing two sets of really expensive guns doesn't help either.

I haven't been paying a lot of attention to politics lately, but I've noticed a lot of random people in game ranting about Fawlty7 being a goon fucker. Is this just a delayed reaction to him taking a chunk of the AUTZ guys to Delve 7 months ago or something new ?

People are being dumb, but I believe I heard that Fawlty is siding with the delve residents so maybe that's why people are complaining

Fawlty's a good guy, IMO. And last I heard, he wasn't particularly grrgoon either. It's simple -- Delve's his home, and he'll try to defend it (or, at least, help LUMPY with defending their space), and it's no big deal -- you can shoot people without hating them. I understand that is a foreign concept to many goons, but it's true.

(I wish he'd stop poaching AUTZ goons tho. :( I'm one of those ultra-late-night-west-coast-USTZ guys, and I'm steadily having fewer people to make bogan jokes with.)

I think the reason haw dreads aren't popular is that the doctrines you would use them against also use triage so youmight as well just use a regular dread and kill their reps. I could see it working well in concert with armor t3s that fit scrams though

Interesting, I tried to do a character move (after not playing for about 2 years) using the "Stuck Character" feature and they said none of my characters were eligible. I wonder what criteria they use.

I guess it's no big deal, I can just sell everything on the cheap.

the Capital Emergency GBS Unit is a skillshot, which makes it not as reliable as just straight up taking a DD on the chin
I feel that to call something a skillshot when its effect lasts for 20 seconds and you get several seconds' advance warning when you need to activate it is pretty much a semantic warcrime.

:agreed: -- although, to be fair, one thing that DOES catch a lot of people by surprise is that you need a fairly healthy chunk of capacitor to activate it. If you're on a cap-hungry dread (or have been running an active tank for a while, or both), you may not have enough to start it. And at 10,000 cap, that's more than you can get in a single injection, even with the new injectors.

(Plus, Goons aren't exactly good at spotting when a DD's going off. :colbert:)

HAW dreads suck because of the siege timer; if you could use HAWs unsieged then dreads with triage would be a cool, serious comp

if there were long-range HAWs or w/e those could also be cool; imo dreads should have a better time blapping subcaps (i am a dread owner)

I made this post when PL announced their charity citadel "for the kids" and it brought everyone from horde line members to top tier PL cronies out to discredit me. They talk about Mittens spin, but they belong to the same gym.

https://zkillboard.com/kill/55295483/

They're unapologetic and flaunting what they have done, right in front of your faces.

How can you stand for this New Eden?

PL did not eradicate goons. They eradicated Mitten's meta, and they took the members who make up goons, into their ranks, ostensibly handing Goons the final win in the culture war .

There is a special place in Hades for people who use the guise of "helping children", and "charity", for personal gains.

You did not listen to me.

You did not listen when I predicted the fall of Deklein and the real intent of PL last winter. I was mocked, ridiculed, threatened.

You did not listen when I warned you about PL's Citadel plans. Again, I was mocked, ridiculed, and threatened.

Will you heed my warning now brothers?

The time is nigh. Prepare your war chests. We're going to give PANFAM a failcascade for Christmas. If you are tired of being complacent, tired of the game's entire meta being changed over the actions of <10% of the playerbase. Now is your time to rise up. Follow me brothers, and I will lead you unto the glory that the destruction of Deklein failed to provide you.
