This is immensely appealing to me. Brb, training frigate skills.

Don't cloaks impose a delay before you can target again? Probably better to just show up with a warp scrambler so they don't have lots of advance notice.

There’s probably 300-400 goons playing spread throughout all the corps? Plenty of fun to be had with goons.

Stealth Bombers have a -100% modifier to this delay and can warp while cloaked with a covops cloak. And they also get a bonus to scan res, so there's even less time to react before you lock on.

Are bomb launchers and bombs actually in EE? if so, we could get up to some real fun poo poo. Decloaking 10 SBs off of a belt full of mining ventures and just exploding all of them at once :sickos:

Bombs are not in yet, but the "lower tier" bomber now has a bonus to medium torpedoes (basically HAMs) and they absolutely rip up anything bigger than a frigate.

Sweet. Last time I played EO (which, to be fair, was probably ten years ago), I only flew covops frigates. That sounds like an amazing trollboat.

Hello can anyone explain the various goon factions and which one I should join if I am a super casual space socialist?

I would like to join whichever faction has the best faux soviet recruitment posters.

Would it be easier if I got on Twitter and asked the Mittani which mobile goon corp I'm supposed to join?

You should *definitely* bug Mittani on twitter.

The active goon corps ATM are [HONK] goosefleet and [HAUS] Grover Haus. Just join the discord link in the OP. We're very casual.

You know, you're totally right. I had quit EO because it just felt like too much information, almost like a sensory overload. It's fun and probably still is, but hot drat EE is just that simple fun part of EO while maintaining all of the fun metagame poo poo

Sov is right at the very top of the list for things getting implemented in the first expando-patch in about two months and some change now. For some I imagine this is a point of :negative:.

THIS IS NOT A PROPER DIET FOR A HIPPO
I finally put a Coercer Navy Issue together and decided to take it out roaming in some tiny lowsec pocket near Amarr. After some harassing of miners and popping one that was AFK, I finally shot at a miner who ran and had had enough.



He had warped off, grabbed another ship, and was patiently waiting in the belt I shot him in for a few minutes. I wasn't planning on heading back, but calling me a coward? That's a step too far, buddy!


(yes this caracal is fit with all smalls, even a small NOS)

That made him really mad so I honked at him, and this made him madder?!? Even the other miners started doggin' on him.



Anyway game is fun as hell, come make powertripping dolts freak out and throw ships at you.

I am really not a fan of this push for "Commie" mission fleet running where everyone gets a share. I have run a bunch of the regular fleets and it runs much better. people can drop in and out and don't lose out on their mission money.

1. Holy loving poo poo who the hell wants to have to set up contracts after every mission? I do enough paperwork at actual work. I and others have run 10-12 missions in a row and it's already boring enough.

2. I am making less money if I do it.

3. It stops people from joining the fleets for the bounty ticks if they are space poor and don't have missions

4. If you join late you lose a lot of money. Why the heck would anyone show up and not make the full amount that their mission is worth?

Why over complicate things?

I'm sort of the other way around. I'm sort of waiting through it while training to see how the market settles out but right now it's way too much effort to make money to feel comfortable doing the actual fun stuff for a phone game, if I wanted to put in that much effort I'd rather be playing Eve Online. On top of that while Echoes smooths out a significant chunk of the problem with EO, it just doesn't have the same level of satisfaction when things actually work out, but then again that may change once I can afford to fly and lose a decent ship on a regular basis.

I dunno man. You can make good money doing t5&6 encounters in a trainer cruiser. If you accidentally get popped, no big deal because you have vouchers and mk3 & mk5 modules aren't very expensive.

Just get a free Coercer II and blow things up and take people's stuff (or run missions) until you can buy a bigger ship.

The whole point of MEAN's existence is to get goons into ships.
