On the bright side, Goons have been asking for supers to be needed for a long time, and at this rate super ratting will be the next carrier ratting, so...

he pays for all of my gankers every month, and in turn he just gets all the loot from the poo poo we kill, because I really only care for ganking. We think it might be CCP flagging him for RMT, but i'm not banned so it can't be that.

he was banned for 30 days several months ago, and during that time his accounts ghost trained for like 20+ days, but no one else I know that ghost trained got banned yet, so we don't think it's that either.

we really have no idea

Yeah then that's even more confusing.

Here's a whole AT team boundary violating in their match they were winning to cheer that dude up.

Idk if he plays anymore but I don't miss him enough to come back to EVE, because I am not spergy enough to find ways to grind out 1.5 billion isks per month just to pay a sub, and the game isn't worth 15 bucks a month to me.

This is actually kind of scary. According to this extractors have gone up ~80-100m. I wonder if that's because not enough people are buying them with realbux, or if people are just happy to suck pointless poo poo they don't use out of their heads for a quick buck.

AT is double-elimination so if we get poo poo on in the first round proper we could still pull ourselves out through the hell bracket.

With the coming mining nerfs and fighter nerfs, I've been looking into shifting my rorqual over to a ratting ship,

10% per level drone damage, Indy core 2 doubles drone damage and 30% velocity, DDA's and you can still utilize your drone speed rigs without destroying your mining yield ones.

The rough math I've seen is about the same as Heavy drone ratting in a carrier from 2014, I've not had the time to test it thoroughly yet as I am squeezing every last drop out of my carrier while I can.

Is this the brave and bold new direction for rorquals now that fighters are getting poo poo on? can we go back to afk ratting in capital ships?

Or is this a more expensive than a VNI option for about the same time and ticks :shrug:

I mean, yeah- if you forget about those try hard teams that lose intentionally before a tough match to preserve their god comp secret so they can dominate bad players with the same setup straight to the finals, yeah- never stop believing though.

Part of me wants Goons to win just so I can witness the sheer autistic rage r/eve would throw for at least 2 weeks. The other part of me knows it will never happen, and you should have held on to that 'oh lord, that stupid, irrelevant attempt at making EVE into an eSport? Yeah, we want nothing to do with that' card.

no

the moment you siege in an anom, the rats decide that your heavy drones are worse than a hypothetical offspring between hitler and cruella de vil and target them exclusively

this is because your mass is multiplied by 10, and rats prefer targets close to their own mass to shoot, meaning that the heavy drones are way closer to their mass than you are in that moment

fits with remote reps don't work either -- large remote reps only have a 40km range, and you can't fit 5 capital remote reps to even a naked hull without going over on grid
