There's also the ~elite PVP~ tactic of dropping it on a harpy fleet, munnins, or basically anything that relies on speed. If you get both bubbles on one of those fleets, you get a turkey shoot.

Wubbles will be awesome for gatecamps, as long as you have one (or several) dictors to spam them when hostiles jump in.

On the downside, it's going to web everyone, but omelets, eggs, etc.

Let's get something straight. The term is not "wubble". The term is "wibla".

E.g. "iospace, go wibla those Muninns!"

Gate mechanics in this game are so weird and unintuitive in general. Web bubbles seem ok I guess but it would be cool if they rethought the whole dynamic of gate aggro/crashing/cloaking into something that felt better

oh hey no one mentioned the upgrade to combat interceptors

quote:

The update to Combat Interceptors will see role bonuses added to the Claw, Crusader, Taranis, and Raptor, including a 100% bonus to the benefits of overheating Afterburners and Microwarpdrives.

That's a very big upgrade, tackle ships able to easily go 10km/s is pretty cool

Let us shoot gates.

Webubbles are probably about fast ships speed tanking not gates. Specifically fast ships speed tanking by orbiting structures.

This is the most fun I've had in Eve for a while so not sure why they aren't enjoying it.

I’ve been in some fun loving fleets the past few days and haven’t experienced any salt. 🤔

Finally getting Jackdaws trained has added to more ways for me to inevitably land on grid and get primaried as an A-name-haver.

Up next, Munnin training, or maybe a slippery Pete.

And I got a medal for returning to the game. Thanks Goonfleet :3:

So I imagine you could webble your own battleship fleet to make everyone go to warp faster right?

Also you can still only fit one kind of bubble at a time, so dual dictor meta incoming?

Ok, now I know I'll probably get troutslapped pretty hard but I have one of those forbidden questions to ask and so I'll shoot it true and through: is it (even remotely) possible to make a new account on goonfleet, re-link all your associated alts to that new one and not get banned in the process? The character associated to my actual account should remain in waffe but I'll probably freeze it in a cryogenic tube of some sort. The goonfleet account could as well be deleted but anyway there is nothing to hide, quite simply I almost never used it.

I don't know exactly why but I remember reading it was one of those things that pisses off the forum admins, the counter-counter-anti-counter-intelligence secret services, the direkktorate and mittani too on a very personal level so I'd rather ask it here in plain sight before getting rutibexed.

Have you tried to log in to your old Goonfleet account and/or contacted the newbies email?

If you account was old enough, it's possible that it was deleted, so you'd need to make a new account anyway. If it wasn't, but you can't get in or are blacklisted or literally anything else...email newbies[at]goonfleet[dot]com and explain the situation.

Yeah I thought about writing to newbies but this is just a generic question. If it's possible in some cases or just not. My actual account is active and all, I'm in jabber and ESI verified with a bunch of alts. I'd just like to have a new account and freeze the one I'm using now, made in 2011 when I had no idea about the meaning of the universe and all the things.

did you name your character something that was cool in 2011 and embarassing as gently caress now? That's the only thing I can think of, like you named your character something dumb or vaguely racist and you're ashamed of it now.

No nothing like that, but it has to do with the name. It's the one I was using for "gaming" back in the days but it has nothing to do with eve and particularly with goons. Anyway, not answering to you in particular now, but I wasn't asking for you guys to figure out why I wanted to change it, just if it was possible. As I said, that account/name should fall silent for good and I'd like to have my account linked to the character I (will) use the most in waffe. As simple as that.
