EVE ONLINE IS MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY BECAUSE IM A FRIENDLESS SEMILITERATE LOSER WHO WILL PEDANTICALLY DEMAND PROOF FOR BASIC THINGS LIKE GRAVITY OR THE EXISTENCE OF SELF. ASK ME ABOUT CHEATING AT TARKOV BECAUSE, WELL, SEE ABOVE

Herein lies the problem. Old guard who we railed against as newbies. Gatekeeping new and old players on how they should play a "Sandbox" game. I'm perfectly happy shooting little red boxes while watching TV and not PVP.

i'm not gatekeeping, ur just feeding ships endlessly because yall don't know how to play.

in just about a month, members of goosefleet have lost nearly 50 billion ISK in ships, and killed about 10 billion

that's actually pretty incredible, you'd think a group of people who've played eve on average 8 years would know the basics of the game like, not hauling nearly 10b in an untanked ship in highsec

i will end this with the conclusion that the splinter was probably an exclusively good thing to happen to goonswarm- a bunch of dead weight was shunted off and we ended up with a harassment system that works beautifully, a better leader and higher average IQ

globby's playstyle is degenerate but who can resist riling up the most self serious gamers on the forum. it's actually not necessary to post :ironicat: and :nallears:, etc, in response to every post.

my sub just ran out so i think i'm done with eve for now. i hope ccp can turn things around but if not it will be an interesting post mortem. if they ever can make an eve universe shooter that more than 5 people get to play that could be fun though

anyway, eve online

it's fun sometimes. w-space is good and cool b/c ccp mostly doesn't mess with it. geese made some money last night and we'll probably use that to go wander around in nullsec loving with ESSes until we go asplode.

The thing about Eve Online is that it is a pretty bad game most of the time, and a terrible game the rest.

never would have guessed thanks. would have thought for sure concord would get to you first. tbh if i had 9bil and a blockade runner i would have undocked it

In high sec status hisec systems like jita, gankers usually use alpha ships to compensate for the faster concord response times. If you want to math ehp/risk, each 100mil tornado will threaten on average ~12k ehp and highroll ~36k ehp of damage. Blockade runners don't actually have that much ehp(A normal t2 highsec viator will be ~35k iirc) so it can be worth it for gankers to try for one.

There are two ways around this. Either undock from jita 4-4 or w/e trade hub in a ship tanked appropriately for the risk, redock in a station that isn't camped, pass off the cargo, and undock the BR from there OR use an instant undock bookmark and cloak in warp.

(You usually don't die to one tornado in a BR though. That crane's fit was bad. Usually you run passive resist mods on BRs because activating modules breaks the 30 sec location change timer of invulnerability you get from undocking from a station. As well, you can't run actives when cloaked, and you should be warping cloaked, so actives are useless vs smartbombs.)

Not to mention that BR just have great resists in general and are thus fantastic candidates for a fat zero-capacitor buffer tank
