I would also wager those standing fleets are boring as gently caress.

If you aren't gating dreads or using rorqs on belt mining , what the gently caress are you doing with your life?

Lucky for them goons (pubbies in goon disguises) are very unwilling to see 2 sides of a story and realise that horde may actually do some things better, which is probably the real reason.

Yeah, I'd rather spin ships and watch the number go up than stare at an inactive gate, so you hit it on the nose.

I've got no idea what a standing fleet involves. I figured it'd be just hanging out docked while shooting the poo poo or whatever until something needs to be done.

If it's just a perpetual gate camp though, gently caress that.

eh, they are about as boring as most bloc fleet ops, but at times they can be super fun. i never really went in them that often. whether you like them or not they certainly are effective at getting people out of your space, plus yes, they do actually end up saving ratters fairly often.

When I was still in waffe and would join the standing fleet, it often suffered from obnoxious Karmafleet dorks making GBS threads up comms and making the experience insufferable. When things were chill a group of us would respond to people being tackled or chase neuts being reported in intel channels, ESS intrusions, etc and those would usually end with the neuts running away. Occasionally we'd get a fight out of it. But there were many days when I'd log in and see who was in the standing fleet comms and would just decide to do something else or play something else.

edit: dishonorable mention for Theta - whenever they were in comms or whenever there was some overlap between the worst of KF dorks and Theta in the same standing fleet it would truly be poo poo experience.

Small achievement: I had my first successful one vs. many fight. I was in a Gnosis, took a sorta obvious bait Retribution, and two more Retributions came in. Two died and one fled. I did a bunch of mistakes but they did more.

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

p.s there are a tonne of non goon wormhole groups that are great, each with varying levels of size, wh class, content types, and gayness. Look into phantom space (:love:,) wolves amongst strangers, exit strategy if pooptz by any chance, prismatic legion, etc they are all active and fun.

Although it can be a bit of a shock to leave goon groups and realise people actually care about killboards and sp and real skill

we've recently settled a c5 WR. we've started doing pve fleets to pump isk into our coffers and have plans to start doing pvp out of that hole too. the sov deffo does exist but goose leadership philosophy* is that the game is meant to be fun and their job is to offer fun things to do, not tell you what you have to do.

I think what goosefleet is doing is neat but there’s a big difference between a WH group and a group that has a hole with some people living in it.

Banks were very funny today. A Kronos and Vargur come in. This other guy brings in an Armageddon, dies, brings in a Navy Raven, dies, and finally brings in a Navy Vexor and dies. The Kronos and Vargur accomplish nothing. They finally bring in four more Vargurs and we leave.
https://zkillboard.com/related/30000653/202309281500/

Then we get a taste of the PH standing fleet. The report is a bit confused, I don't know why the Aeon and CRAB beacon are there.
https://zkillboard.com/related/30005160/202309281700/

This was so confusing. The battle report doesn't show nearly everything. They had a lot of people, but no coordination at all. We get the usual marauder and other stuff, but the cruisers and BCs that show pretty much all land, decide gently caress this, and try to leave. We had a Vedmak specifically to fight fast cruisers trying to push us, but they just... didn't. If they had they'd have easily forced us off. They weren't up to doing this, and also evidently didn't tell the next people coming in what they'd be facing. Eventually an Ishtar does the only clever thing here, drops a bunch of sentries and dips out, forcing me to warp off. At this point they're bringing in even more people including two Celestises so we'd have had to leave anyway.

e: They had 12 people in that second one, counting the ones that actually came in.
