Throwback to corp chat. There's one good reason to join Goonwaffe, which I was reminded of the other day: it's the uncorp. Because there's no actual corp culture (beyond posting here), there's not really any corp activity, which means there isn't really any corp drama, there isn't any intra-corporation personality clash, and if you don't get along with the CEO, you probably don't enjoy being in GSF in the first place.

Solo hunting for soft targets isn't really as morale damaging as what an invigorated blops group can do. I don't know why he needed vast influxes of cash unless he was reimbursing a LOT of poorly flown expensive gimmick ships. The Hambulance posted:Stunt developed a taste for expensive ships and pods on GSF's dime. He pissed a lot of money away. Just look at his losses He certainly did, and I'd bet that part of why he hosed off was being told he'd have to start justifying his expenses instead of just getting slung some money to pimp out Asteros with.

He's also just one of those guys who stands out as weird against the background oddities of goons in general. How do you not break positive in pvp with our reimbursement program? Killing ratters is decent isk in and of itself. T2 loot has gone up a lot in recent years so most ships are gonna be like 50m just in fittings. Ship prices have gone down over recent years while the fitting cost of most fits have gone up. Like, t1 battlecruiser hulls aren't that much more expensive than hac fleets or other mid tier doctrines simply do that the cost of modules kinda blows the idea of cost efficient t1 doctrines out the water.

Like, t1 battlecruiser hulls aren't that much more expensive than hac fleets or other mid tier doctrines simply do that the cost of modules kinda blows the idea of cost efficient t1 doctrines out the water. We had literally zero, none, peacetime reimbursement during the period in which Stunt and vanity corp was in alliance. Full stop, none. Stunt's ship of choice for his squad's activities - yes, he got his own squad, go figure - was the Astero, which I don't believe was covered under strategic SRP at all, and unless I'm mistaken still is not. <insert montage of checking> It is not even covered under peacetime, so, there you have it. To be fair, the guy was teaching goons to solo ratters in Asteros, which entailed a fair bit of loss, and since there was no alliance SRP... I guess his need for ISK was reasonable, even if the amounts were a bit high for relatively low reward. The point where things fell down, in my opinion, was when Stunt returned from a long hiatus and was told he'd need to build and justify a budget for his rudderless, barely-active squad. I figure at that point he decided it was too much and Anime Masters was eventually shown the door.

So your position is that the incentive to undertake this rather considerable endeavor should be an arbitrary reward for the person who does the most free work, with a pat on the back for the runners up. Let's add a more instability to the entire alliance-level moon goo process, because there's no way that could go badly. Not in our favorite space-themed office-job simulator.

Calm down nerds. If you're concerned about people being on your Jabber server, anything that is not giving them access to your alliance services is more secure? Although laffo if you don't think every conversation had by every diplo in this game isn't copy/pasted to a hundred places. But no clearly I meant discord provides top-end computer security for all those top secret communiques... What do you think Michael Flynn's Discord username is?

Me and some other dude would like a channel on mumble for Germans. There are a few of us and same timezone and language is a good thing for efficiency. So I would like to request a channel on mumble. I hope someone able to do this reads this thread or someone can direct me to the right place for that request. Please give it a funny name like "German SS youth group".

So I played Eve for a while a few years ago but was lovely, I tried to play occasionally every few years but never stuck with it. So now with this alpha clone thing I've made a new character and I'm loving around doing the first few agents missions/tutorial things. Which ship should I be using for the military missions, a slasher or a rifter? Also I'm signing up for goonwaffe again cos I don't remember my old account and it probably doesn't exist. I can join a corp as an alpha clone right?

You absolutely can join as an alpha, however if you were part of goonwaffe before email newbies at goonfleet dot com to have them reactivate your old account rather than make a new one (this will get you in trouble if you do it)

I literally have no way to access the old account and don't remember the name or email or anything. EDIT: Well I applied on the website/forums and in game so I'll see how it goes. Hopefully I won't get into trouble.

Baculus posted:I thought that a lot of non-GSF people were allowed to access jabber... It makes sense for coordinating with allies and doing diplomatic bullshit. Discord certainly is easier to use and more ubiquitous than Jabber. However, it is decidedly NOT more secure - see other's previous points regarding logs being on a server not owned by those using it, etc. - and also has a problem with scale. Namely, the voice service would fall the gently caress over on any given fireside much less a big hurfed stratop or a SotG. There's also the old adage of ain't broke, don't fix. I'll admit that Discord has better community moderation tools with the addition of, say, Botwinder - I'd pay money for timed bans/mutes on Mumble - but overall Mumble/Jabber scale way better than Discord can possibly hope to. Discord is not designed to support a thousand dudes in text or or voice, Jabber and Mumble are.

Email newbies@goonfleet.com if you already have a goonfleet.com account, even if you don't remember the email.
