I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

This reminds me, POS-weapons still work, right? Didn't CCP plan to switch off everything they'd replaced with new structures? That's why invention, production, reactions and all that poo poo doesn't work on POS anymore. Shouldn't POS weapons and e-war have been deleted by now?

Have you ever Doomsday’d a pod? Why / why not?

Back in the olden days (like before I started playing Eve), doomsdays were an AOE and apparently you could shoot them through a cyno beacon. Or maybe that was the old geezers bullshitten me.

In a similar note, back when we were living in Deklein, someone put light missiles on a Phoenix and found out that siege mode didn't work for light missiles (yes, they were blapping a pod, it probably took 2-3 minutes to finish targeting it).

They'd probably break everything if they touch POS code any more than they have.

This was true, tho I think firing through the cyno was a bug.

Nope, entirely intentional. It was part of their plans when they first announced doomsdays. They were told this was hilariously bad idea but the senior designer who first cooked up player owned titans and superweapons was an idiot, Oveur is a name that rings a bell?.

Then Sir Molle got his on his alt Shrike (avatar) and picked a fight with goonswarm and the old NC (no dot). I remember many a time travelling through fountain in a battleship fleet only to see a lone BoB cruiser come through a stargate and drop a cyno. Then the screen would go white (or black) and you'd wake back up in your clone station. After a few full bs fleet welps to the tactic the old NC cooked up a battleship fit that could take a doomsday, but then OrangeSpecies got a Rag. So then it became two DDs through a cyno. Even if you knew where either of the titans were you couldn't do poo poo as they only needed to stick their nose out of a pos shield to fire.

Dumber times.

Because 95% of what IBM offers is aimed at people who are "stuck" with their tech for one reason or another and they haven't done anything right or good in 20 years beyond mega high end computing the likes of which very few customers need. Even azure makes a better cloud solution than IBM and MS are a pack of fuckups.

They used noobie ships, not cruisers, iirc. It was ridiculously dumb.

And then there was POS bowling, where you warped a titan into a POS that you didn't have the password for and it's knock ships out of the POS where you could shoot them. BoB did this for years. The very first time a goon titan did this, it was declared an exploit. Literally within an hour of it happening. :ccp:

I'm old, I remember! It scared the hell out of me when I came back and heard that hundreds of titans can show up to a fight, because I assumed doomsdays were still AOE. Once upon a time, we had a battleship doctrine whose big selling point was that it had a double-doomsday tank because driveby doomsdays were a very real problem.

A titan pilot in Brave purchased the 'Silver Ticket' - sold their titan to the alliance to escape the M2 hellcamp. Allegedly the pilot was a main, so I guess ~45 days of being unable to play got to the poor bastard.

Well, shoot! We ain't come this far just to dump this thing in the drink. What's the nearest target opportunity?
So, clearly jumping into a super loaded grid isn't BRAVE's fault, it's the game's fault.

Of all the hills to die on, is this really the one they've chosen?

Being ex-TEST or ex-Am0kdotte had never caused any concerns when I actively played the game, the only thing I ever ran into (and probably rightfully so) was being ex-PL.

"If Imperium wanted to be the nice guys they'd feel sorry for the for the players that have titan mains who can't play due to the trap, but ofc they have went straight back to the bully tactics known well within Delve and the Imperium and are continuing to camp them in."

So you followed a bonehead FC and jumped your titan into in a hellcamp. You don't have any other alts to play? No problem, we'll let you cyno out. The past six months of you and your pals trying to eliminate us from the game are just water under the bridge. Soz mate! o7
