Took a Scalpel out with a fleet that ended up missing a Hel but dunked a shitfit Rorq, missed the message to fit AB instead of MWD and had to constantly manually manage my orbit, repped exactly one dude who got shot by rats on a gate b/c no one ever aggressed us. 8/10, would space priest again

To be fair, that spy deserves a medal for what he or she did. Well played sir, well played. I was irritated and not understanding the plan (because there was a lack of communication) and I don't think it was going to work assuming 400 goons knowing what they were supposed to do with 2 minutes of instructions while were were in warp to the target, but finding out afterwards what we were attempting was somewhat impressive. I didn't die, though got targeted and just moon walked out with a bit of shield damage. There's reports of a LOT of supercapital's jumping in. (Ominous music plays, as we end of this episode of Eve Online: The TV series). Comstar fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Oct 1, 2020 |

if anyone needs a tutorial on ACL's I can give it. Source: I catch jf's using ACL pulls and permissions.

I was quite confused the whole time. I mean, pardon me for asking, but what good are starfighters going to be going up against that?iospace posted:What happened? Imagine if the Dambusters were told to fly to the dam, and on the way on their bomb run, they get told what they are supposed to do, and how to drop their bouncing bomb to hit the target. While flak guns are firing at you. But to do that, the FC has to give out bookmarks on your IP point and exit point to warp out to. To the entire fleet. And to a spy who notices he can delete them bomb run bookmarks. Uh oh. I think the only way the plan was going to work is if we had a space wizard with us who could target a 2 meter square target and make the bomb make a 90 degree turn and push through the exhaust of a reactor that can power a small moon. Go watch this and it'll tell you how likely it was going to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agcRwGDKulw. Looking at it now, I do think attempting to re-create the battle of Yavin is awesome and we must do this again. Just don't give everyone in fleet admin access to the ACL. And please play John Williams through fleet comms as we do it. Comstar fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Oct 1, 2020 |

Though it was more like the Death Star plans get deleted by a spy a minute before the rebel's get their hands on it. Instead of the (So the entire episode is built up like it's going to be the attack on the death star, and instead our expectations are subverted like this episode was directed by Ryan Johnston and not George Lucas).

ok well now i have to figure out what to do with the day since i'm awake at this unholy hour and too stimmed up to sleep  for the at-work crew, we tried some hijinks and they didn't work and they didn't work very quickly, back to the drawing board  quote:(7:50:17 AM) directorbot: Well this one is a bummer. We had a bunch of bookmarks made by me over the last night and because I don't really know how the new ACL system works the access list let everyone who had access not only use them but also delete them. We had a spy in fleet who realized that and deleted all the bookmarks from everyone. Fair play to him/her, I would have done the same thing too. also we have 16,000 electron bombs and several thousand bomber hulls we're gonna find something to do with heh

Dalael posted:pm me your character name. I'll give you some money to get you started regardless of where you end up in the end. Just keep in mind that when you do missions in highsec, your first few days will not be rewarding. Lack of sp often means you can't kill stuff fast enough and end up with a repair bill. That will change shortly. Thanks. I'll wait until I'm a proper member and safe in goonspace, then I'll come back here and beg for scraps. I'm going to do the career missions first, they actually give you a decent chunk of ISK. I almost skipped them entirely. e: they actually have pretty good support, this 'GM Star Lord' messaged me out of the blue to give me tips and even some gifts

Rewards are ok and you can run it in a pretty simple ship like a catalyst.

It’s not the end of the world if Phlegmish runs a few hisec missions. If nothing else, he’ll understand how good we’ve got it when he comes down to Delve.

I plan to send you 50M isk, and I'd bet I'm probably going to be the person that gives you the least. If you're wanting to do it to check out the game then fair enough, but don't bother for the rewards.

Perhaps it wouldn't be cost efficient nor work at all because they would kill themselves, but imagine 2000 battleships just lighting smartbombs continuously all over the structure.

A keepstar model size would surely be big enough to space out so that you don't smartbomb your freinds to death. Keeping the defenders from killing you would be the challenge

Your isk stays with you when you die. I believe there is a 10k cloning fee or something? As for jumping to delve, you'll set your home clone at our main keepstar in delve and then will explode your pod. A few seconds later you will be in delve. It is the easiest and fastest way to get here.

Sure, if you want to travel 40+ jumps through space of varying degrees of hostility and probably die to a gatecamp along the way because everything surrounding Delve is an active warzone. It would probably be fun to do in some kind of shitfrig/elite PVP ship designed for this, but I don't think it is something you want to seriously attempt as a newbie.

Maybe a dumb question but wouldn't the Keepstar's damage cap prevent the bombing runs from being very effective? The amount of coordination required to bomb continuously for 15min or whatever seems pretty tough.
