WOULD someone please explain to me what has happened since the collapse of the CFC this past summer since I stopped caring but in a moment of selfish arrogance want to be clued in without the least bit of effort?

WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING.

CFC 1.0 (aka Imperium) moved south to Delve after being forced from their home in the North and with that the MBC was, in essence, dissolved as the goal for its forming had been met. What followed was a few weeks of resettling/dividing up the land with a lot of resetting of standings being made. In the CFC 1.0's place DARKNESS' coalition (Guardians of the Galaxy, GOTG) took residence in Deklein & Branch, Pandemic Horde and their rag tag band of misfit alliances took Fade & some of Cloud Ring (for a short while), TEST took Vale of the Silent & CO2 remained in Tribute. After a few weeks/short months, Pandemic Horde & NC. felt that Tribute would be nice to own and that CO2 had been getting a free ride for long enough (they barely contributed to WWB after they defected iirc). While this was happening the Alliance Tournament was also taking place so it was more or less quiet. TEST decided to team up with CO2 making TESCO as a coalition. They were able to at least hold some ground against Horde & NC. + whoever else was there up until PL decided their summer siesta was over (a fair amount of PL were dicking around in Amamake after the AT) and after about a week or two at most CO2 had been driven out and TEST announced they were abandoning Vale despite PL/NC/Horde never saying they wanted to take Vale.

With their Northern holdings abandoned, TESCO moved south to team up with TRI, FCON, & a few others to attack StainWagon who hold sway over most of Catch. This is where we're at now. StainWagon also were viewed as "the enemy" because they said they would help CFC/Imperium during WWB but other than announcing it I can't recall if they did anything of notable value.

Oh and now that TEST + CO2 + FCON are teaming up they decided to change their coalition name from TESCO to Casino Friends Coalition as a "neener neener" at GSF because for some reason certain Goons hate being called the CFC nowadays. The new CFC are also trying to call the southern war The Casino War because _____________________. That's about all you really need to know.

TL/DR - EVE autism happened.

Politics wise: PLNCH have continued to murder or absorb nearly every single alliance they were blue to this year, and Horde now has to roam multiple regions away to get content, which has produced lots of drama. Goons have rebuilt in Delve and are pretty much back to 2012 levels. CO2 and TEST have decided that it's a good idea to invade Stain Russians in the middle of winter, because PGL promises it'll totally work this time.

Marking the second time in three years TEST has abandoned an entirely viable region because someone next door looked at them hard. A vale invasion hadn't even been announced as far as I know, just like in 2013 when we ended up kramering into delve because the retards ran away from a region we weren't even invading.

Vale was never on the menu. Much like when PL were down in Catch during HERO's existance, TEST just got super worried about the possibility of fighting someone that could hit harder than them so they ran off blaming everything but their own fear.

I don't recall the third instance of this happening. Other than Vale & Catch in 2014 or so, what was the third time they did this?

Missed that part, my bad. Anyway, I'd argue that was a different circumstance versus Catch & Vale. In Fountain War they were being beaten on pretty hard and 6VDT was the whole "alamo" thing because their whole alliance was basically imploding with the thefts, defections, etc.

The remaining/new leaders deciding to remove the alliance from Null to rebuild made sense in that situation. Them abandoning Vale & Catch in the context in which they did though doesn't make much sense.

Edit: Wait, doesn't the rorq panic thing make ALL mining ships on grid immune for 5 minutes? So couldn't we goon cannon fleets of skiffs for immune fleets with lots of drones?

PANIC sets damage of all ships to zero (including drones).

CCP covered all the obviously methods of abuse, but neglected to consider that certain entities would absolutely throw away a 2b isk ship as a suicide tackler for hunting supers. And that's gonna be really hard to fix, beyond the obvious idea of making PANIC just remove targeting ability or whatever.

Personally I think the rorq should not have been built around capital mods. Like, it's an industrial ship so of course it has a gimped powergrid. Just like barges have barely more grid than a frigate, the rorq should be using BS gear. (For one thing, without capital tank mods a lot more of your tank depends on rigs, making the choice of drone mining rigs into an interesting one.)

Stratios for going out roaming. Rapier has been kinda fun too.

Vexor/Brutix/Domi/Raven for being around home.

I need to fly Stratios more often! It is so gorgeous how well it performs the hunting task and liks awesome while doing it. I tend to bling them quite a bit, so it's always a money drainer. I do like Hull Brutix, if you want to go full manmode and just brawl like a boss. Only thing you really have to worry about are kiters, so if you fit a MJD it should be fine. Never flown the raven actually, always thought that it does underperform against the other bs
