Hello. Yep, I still think Atlantis is Bolivia, yep, I'm still a giant idiot, yep, I'm still a huge racist. Some things never change!
The whole point is moot. Those who want to defend it will do so, those who don't won't.

We're big enough that not everyone has to show up for it.

Guys, you know you're all loving up when im the voice of reason.

The TTT is probably a good chunk of how we didn’t run out of money yet so getting all weird about defending it from trolls who only wardec’d it to prove where the real blue donut is (I.e. ignoring the current war) is the definition of myopic

Like ok cool you don’t wanna fleet with the shitheads trying to destroy us, I empathise and agree, but we wouldn’t be in delve still if not for it and M2 probably wouldn’t have happened.

All these e-honor space Bushido reasons for not teaming up with people with common interests to shoot some dummies is the kind of thing that gets made fun of constantly in this thread so it's wild seeing it here.

All the hot takes like "TTT doesn't benefit me personally in an obvious way so I hate it" flies in the face of every goon group in any game ever. I'm crying a single sticky cheetos tear SMDH.

imo one sure way to lose Delve is to browbeat your casual player, who came back after years of not playing just to defend your space, to do insanely unfun highsec publord poo poo

Hey guys we're issuing 21T worth of war bonds because we're in a liquidity crunch

OK now go fleet up with the assholes who've been screaming about goon genocide and burning down our space for 8 months, the same ones we've been telling you are poor/broke, to save our shared income stream

don't get weird on me now, guys

If you dont want to defend it, dont. Nothing's changed within the imperium. You join the fleets you want to.

I don’t care either way re: ttt and lol if you think vily of all people is some kind of existential threat to goons. I mean sure it’s fine and funny if you are using his statements to troll forums and or as an excuse to poo poo on test, but the only existential threat to goons are goons.

See: every other time goons have been kicked out of space.

Honestly if it's a time I can make it, I will, I intend to be nice to them in the fleet and on coms and hopefully a few more of their line members think we aren't as bad as Vily said.

That said I'm talking for myself, I don't expect anyone else to do it for my reasons.

Really struggling to see why we wouldn't defend TTT at this point and why people are against it, its one of our few remaining sources of income. If we don't we'd be kicked out so Panfam/TEST would just be taking in more money each, or give our share to FRAT and any of them could easily defend against SNUFF. Its not even required for you to go if you don't want to do. And if we wanted to contest the TTT keepstar after being kicked out oh man if you think going out to highsec to defend it is annoying it'd be 10x worse trying to repeatedly attack it (and probably failing)

You missed the part where the dumbest loving posters in this thread tried to have multiple Mel Gibson moments. But they missed the Braveheart mark, and wound up in the arrest video instead ("hurr go gently caress yerselfs").

Otherwise you're right, if we don't want to defend it we won't. It doesn't make you not a goon patriot to skip one fleet out of hundreds for reasons of personal conviction or laziness.

Berating people for having an opinion on a volunteer op and choosing not to go, on the other hand, is definitely a symptom of over-exposure to pubbie bullshit and these parties should be monitored closely for other un-goonly activities.

This. Goons have never done "ermagerhd red pen op, show up or get kicked" poo poo. Nobody's pinged for this (thus far), nobody's forcing anyone to show up -- and frankly, nobody has to, because Snuff's unlikely to RF it.

(:ullerrm: time)

Snuff has ~250 active characters on ZKB, and that's not taking multiboxers into account. When Snuff bashed down the TTC Keepstar, they had ~100 people on field in supers and caps; everything else was random people who showed up to whore on the killmail in stealth bombers or destroyers. The TTC Sotiyo had about 70 Snuff caps/supers on it.

So! Let's assume for the moment that Snuff did an absolute max hurf, bought clone soldier tags to get everyone's sec status up, and got a full fleet to shoot the Perimeter TTT in subcaps. If they built 200 Baltecs and sat on the KS in CNAM range completely uncontested, they'd _barely_ reach the DPS cap; if they're at any kind of range, or if they're taking cruisers or BCs, they'll barely be tickling it. All that's needed to turn an attack into a miserable hours-long TiDi slog with no guarantee of success, is a minimal subcap response fleet and someone to man the KS's launchers/tackle. Take your pick -- a disposable Ferox fleet, torp bombers, even just a bunch of VCBee alts in Griffins would make it loving miserable and potentially defeat the attack entirely.

The Perimeter KS structures are not invincible, but they will need a lot more than Snuff to take them down. As an org, we need to commit to defending it for metagame purposes (and because it generates some serious isk that helps pay for your SRP), but in all honesty, I would be impressed if Snuff even bothers to do a shield RF, much less armor RF. And if they do, hey, we can worry about hurfing then.

TLDR: Quit your bitchin until we actually have to do something, and even if that happens, we don't actually have to do much

Why complain about going to highsec to defend the TTT, when you could go to highsec to "defend" the TTT and instead just shoot TEST idiots that came to defend their only income generation?

it's a bad plan because they wouldn't come to highsec :v:

We'll uphold our end of the bargain in letter and spirit, to the best of our ability.

Does it feel gross and icky to fly alongside TEST and PH in order to shoot SNUFF? Hell yeah it does.

So if you don't want to go help defend the TTT Keepstar, be on hand in Delve to shoot at the all-but-inevitable breakout attempt; Vily and piggles know they're not getting the rest of those supers out unless we're distracted or bored.
