So was your 5 billion isk dread worth it over a t1 fit?

Also I had a profitable afternoon warping an alt around as I was waiting for my armor reps to cycle (I was gonna boost but TNT left their rear end house that had my mindlink clone in it unfueled, so I was stuck in a guardian):

This is one of the things about Eve I love that other MMOs don't have: you get back in and immediately make a difference after a long break. No leveling to from 85 to 110 or some poo poo.

Also, if you were subbed but didn't have a queue, petition CCP to get your skillpoints back!

Yeah do this, I left my account subbed for a year after I quit grad school and when I came back in April I got all the SP.

Bhaalghorn could have been on grid for up to 9 hours before it popped. Shield supers came on grid maybe an hour before it popped? And the damage cap makes it hard to apply real DPS numbers.

I do wonder if DRF as a whole will join in against SW/CFC. That would make the whole thing a lot more interesting to be honest.

Over a T1 fit? Yes.
Over a T2 fit? No. (But very few people bother to train T2 capital guns, so its not available to many.)

I've had that hull for three years and it was long past time to welp it gloriously, and it was plat insured. And I didn't pay that much for it; its old enough that I got it back when Concord guns were 100M, instead of their ridiculous current price (because the BPCs now take a T2 module as input instead of a T1).

A practical "minimum competent" Nag fit comes out at 3.5B anyways -- the only thing that you should always pimp on them is the gyros. (Besides the huge bang for buck on the DPS, it frees up 30 cpu, allowing you to fit T2 shield extenders.)

Instead of spreading Tidi to other systems, an easier fix would be to add a spool up timer to jump into the system and any system one gate out. Like the regular traffic control only on steroids.

The short version is that they decided to go NBSI around September-ish, and CVA does not maintain blue standings to NBSI entities as a matter of principle. So, VOLT had a peaceful separation from Provibloc.

There's a whole lot of history and subtlety to the diplomacy that keeps Provi, Stainwagon, DRF, and the various associated entities like Tri/LUMPY/etc. from stepping on each other. I don't understand it, but I have some grudging respect for it.

It's a great improvement over the Halloween wars 3 bloc system (with provi barely counting)

Or the jarring 4 bloc system where brave was given sov by N3 so they would gather all the cute newbies in the jaws of N3/PL. "Once we were newbies and now we have sov!" (as if they conquered and held it on their own)

It looked like all of null minus Panfam was there, we were pretty badly outnumbered in subcaps I believe.
Test/Co2/FCON/TRI/MC/DRF/NC/LUMPY/DroneWalkers and im pretty sure im missing some more

So yea, TEST managed to recruit quite the blob already.

I read somewhere that DRF dislike Stain because of some inter-russian rivalry over russian players, they sendt a rather large fleet. So much so that they are blue to DroneWalkers who they had a spat with during the war in the north.

I don't remember any uniquely stupid Casino War welps off the top of my head (other than FCON's daily stupid solo evac losses) but I recall we quit flying the machs in particular and also grindrfleet because every time we undocked them they got dumpstered and it was drastically shortening the life of the SRP warchest.

The war almost turned isk positive the day CO2 flipped. They lost something like.... 4 Titans? early on because they dropped them without informing the coalition and so had no support

DRF fought against Stain & RMC when both were pushing east out near Insmother about a year to year and a half ago. There's always been bad blood between the SW Russians and the Drone Russians because of XIX and I think SOLAR being who they are and dumpstering them. Plus iirc a lot of Russians viewed SOLAR allying with XIX as a huge "gently caress you" to the rest of the Russian alliances.

Given the amount of people on the anti-SW side I am curious if PanFam will side with them or work to evict them. There's never really been any "good bros" vibe between SW and Horde back when Horde lived down there. Also Waffles just got done with a deployment down there and are probably on a Lowsec break for a bit.
