Hard enough that for the moment I'd say just chill with us in KF Standing on mumble. You can tag along and do whatever and once recruitment goes back to normal see about switching over.

You won't have access to some of the Corp perks but the important thing of not being alone and having questions answered will be enough for now.

Salvaging is fun. I made more money in like an hour in null sec than i was doing the missions in high sec. Also you see tons of goons all over which is neat. I'm in like a giant stupid super-shielded salvage tugboat destroyer lol

Tier 2 Salvaging is even better. Grab a ship with a big cargo hold and a Cambat Probe Launcher. With that you can scan down abandoned drones. People often leave their drones in space when they see reds and warp back to station, and then never bother to recover them. Goons are rich so you will mostly see T2 drones worth 1m isk+ each including valuable fighter drones and some times even Geckos!

You can make even more cash salvaging abandoned drones than wrecks

Geckos are worth like 100m now, you find them you scoop them, you rich in no time!

Wormholes are pretty scary places, I’ve been thinking of spending more time in them. But yeah good stuff keep it up.

How hard would it be to transfer over? Is it even worth it?

There is a group called friends of karmafleet or something like that apply to that so you can get pings for things they do if you want that.

24/7 cloaky camping with an army of alts being paid for by skillfarming seems pretty loving broken.

Also I think I might explore wormholes more in my spare time. It's been quite a while since I've been in them. I was doing some scanning for fun today and found one. I thought about getting in it, but it was unstable and about to collapse, so I didn't want to end up having to haul my rear end home from it.

Wormholes are very fun! The best ships to tool around in are Astero and Stratios. The top tier is a T3 Cruiser, but those are expensive and take a lot of training.

Having come back from a big ol' break - what would you say the best wormhole pve T3 cruiser is?

Further - the best generic PVP T3?

I like the Proteus best because you can fit it with drones and drones can do anything! Salvage drones are nice and you have enough space to hold some without impacting your combat ability. Same with a repair drone or something.

But I'm also an idiot so you shouldn't listen to me. I don't think the Proteus is very popular in the "meta"

Dude we play a spreadsheet simulator, we're all stupid...

I was leaning towards Proteus due to drones being a nice swiss army knife, or tengu due to damage application.

But tengus are BORING AS F.

I've made a fair amount of money randomly jumping around in a destroyer salvaging wrecks I've found at the gates near goon central. The only downside is that every third trip I get immediately warp disrupted as soon as I show up at the gate and am subsequently blown up in what feels like a single shot. It's still a money making proposition, but I am now on Tugboat VI and I'm starting to think this isn't a good use of my time

The question is not "is this a good use of my time", the question is "are you making good isk/hour doing this despite the risks?".

My character is a Caldari purist because the last time I played (2009) Caldari were great. Cerberus was THE HAC. However, right now I'm with some Triglavian outfit fighting for the Greater Good of the Abyss. Precursor ships are :fuckoff: expensive though and I can barely afford the frigate I bought.

In order to try helping out, a Jackdaw seems like the nicest EDENCOM frigate destroyer I can muster.

I can't find any hardcore Caldari role players anywhere :(

There's a war going, yeah. There's pretty much daily fights from it. Most of it doesn't feel on the scale of 2013 fountain war, which is my personal reference to big eve wars, but there are certainly fights going on and pings during big hours in any of the popular timezones.

So is there like any active social scene in goonwaffe at all these days? The newbee channel has occasional folks available to help, but Gooniversity Jabber is dead, GFGBS is dead. I get that these forums are kind of a tapped vein these days, should I just be looking at the broader alliance comms for things?

My application was accepted but I haven't joined in-game yet. After seeing an AUTZ video recently, I found out there's a pretty sizable and active group of Aussies living in NPC nullsec. I kinda don't want to be stuck doing things alone most of the time after work, and I'm thinking it might be better to play with same tz bogans.

What's goon activity like around AU TZ (+/- 3 hours around DT)? Are there any Aussies?

I know that New Zealand is only one hour from Hawaii (well, 23 hours), so 20 hours makes sense.

They've been dead for a long time. Hell, Grath is in GSF right now. (It's a dumb pseudo-eve-celebrity stunt, I think.) AFAIK most of PL went to NCdot or phorde.
