we probably won't take back deklein, they changed the game so that you want as many systems inside a single 6LY radius as possible and deklein is like the absolute worst for that poo poo

We got close, there is a Keepstar only a few jumps away. But I think people got bored, or we are being merciful or something so the war is over.

What kind of money do you get out of one of those? Is it consistent, or are you hoping for a few super rare blueprints drops?

On a level 4, if it's a bad run, usually around 40m in 15 minutes, so 160m/hour if you're really going hard, depending on spawns. If you get lucky with a really good drop that you apply to a module, 1b or more is possible in one site. (I got a rep power mutaplasmid for a x-large shield booster that buffed it by like 28%, got 950m in jita for instance)

Hi everyone that remembers this old robot, I think I just rejoined for no good reason.

I will probably keep up enough energy to get through auth and services and setup and check out EVEMon/pyfa/jEVEAssets or whatever and catastrophically flame out again.

Colonel Rhombus is sitting in some Queef Company Warehouse in lowsec somewhere, I sent all my isk to someone to help new guys when I left. I honestly can't remember what my guys were training towards or can fly at this point. I feel like alts were working towards ratting Ishtar and maybe an Archon or JF or something.

Or, in my case, I just noticed my Moros in DO6H and two ships I had in VFK are being moved ~gratis~ to my old cache of "stuff" in Villasen. :krad:

I just have to wait ~18d for the free "slow boat" service. I'm convinced while that Moros lives, Goons in EVE will never die. It's been blessed with the spirit of Old Ironsides and been bathed in the blood of hundreds of BoB Deathstars.

is there any benefit to rerolling on my account from when i was a cringy teenager in 2006 or should i just start totally fresh

my original character was an amarr guy that could fly battlecruisers so idk if it's useful enough to justify resuming

if not, what does goonfleet need the most right now?

There is no reason to make a fresh character. If you dont like what your Eve guy can do, you can suck skills out of your head and sell them while you train up something else. Reinject them at a bit of a loss, or just train new stuff and leave your other skills alone for when they later become good.

Thanks. I flew out there tonight. An NPC or something shot me out of my shuttle at the gate in Q-HESZ on the way and I went the rest of the way in my pod. Which was probably dumb because IIRC I'll need to fly back to join GoonWaffe at a lowsec station when the invite comes through. But I didn't have anything else to do anyway.

Then at least suck out all the skills you can and use them on your new character or sell them or some combination of the two.

ok, i've managed to log onto my old account but it had 3 characters so i have to wait 10 hours before i can delete mine

how do i go about sucking out my old guys skills and transferring it to the new one whenever i do that? also i have like 35m isk on it but i don't know if that's worth anything now or if it'd help with the new character

CainFortea
Oct 15, 2004


35m is peanuts, but to suck out skill goo you need skill extractors which you can buy with real money or eve money. They cost more than you have in eve money so if you go that route see if someone will toss you one. Right now Extractors are about 350m in jita. You can use them remotely so you only need a Jita alt to buy and sell on the market, if your other characters will skill points are elsewhere that's fine.

Once you extract your skills, you can sell them for about 700m isk in jita. They remove 500k skill points down to a minimum of 5m. So if you have 6m SP you can use two extractors.

So if you got the skill points, all you need is 350m to start and with selling one injector you can pay that person back and still buy another extractor to keep going.

It says I have 8m skill points, so if I'm right I'd need two extractors? I'll see if anyone can toss me one once I get the goonfleet auth set up and my new character ready

thanks for the help :)

oh right, now I see how it works, thanks :)

I sent off an email like the OP said to but I wanted to make sure I did it right - I was originally registered on the goonfleet forums under an account in 2007 which isn't on the current site, but one I registered in 2013 to play MWO with goons is. Should I have done process B or process C? I assumed B because I'm applying with the EVE character I originally used in Goonfleet.

How long does it take to get a response?

If you havent played in a while and your pod has no valuable implants, don't bother flying. Wait until your application comes through. once you're in the corp, you can set your clone station remotely (We can still do that, can we?) to 1DQ1-A and then just self-destruct. It will be faster & safer.

If you can't do that, then I suggest you fly in with a Taxi Interceptor. Just buy an Ares or some other interceptor, fit it with hyperspacial velocity rig or whatever they're called, a few inertial stabilizers and as much tank as you can. Keep it's align time under 2s and it will be almost impossible to catch you.

That's bad advice if you're dealing with stupid people (ie me). A friend once gave me a character of his and I sucked out all I could without paying attention to what i was sucking out and in which order.

It's now left with 5m skillpoint but can't fly anything or use pretty much anything. Probably worth deleting rather than trying to fix to be honest
