you can, but that requires enough bomber pilots for multiple waves, plus enough pilots doing something that keeps the enemy engaged and on the grid long enough for you to line up the other run(s). i get the sense from elukka's post that they're running a relatively small operation with a few folks havin fun as opposed to having bloc-level fleet numbers at their disposal
Yeah I was thinking of like a few people and a few times more people dropping in our bubble and whether they'd be worth bombing. Like 1-2 bombers and 1-2 other ships. Doesn't seem like the numbers work out and we'd be better off with just regular ships.

May I suggest smart bomb apocs/rokhs w bulkheads in the bubble.

A pair of them would be substantial alpha. We used to use typhoons to smartbomb fleets of mackinaws in hisec

Any ship with the Bioresponder/whatever the gently caress the skins are from the current Project Discovery and the BARVE logo looks cool

What the gently caress was going on there. The combat report is bizarre.

A tackle rorq, 8 dead blops... just what the gently caress was going on?

Who wouldn't want to commit twice the people only to get dunked on for twice the losses? You at least hope to loot the field right?

In addition to corp emblems they should add corp effects. Like the emergency responder effect with whatever skin you want, so it’s easier to identity friendly ships if the all have the same flair.

wyvern was running a CRAB beacon. gon dropped the tackle rorq to uh... tackle it, then dropped a cyno inhib to stop the majority of the well-organized phorde standing fleet from dropping on them. phorde used tanked, uncloaked armor blops (a common bloc-level defense fleet nowadays) to jump in under the cyno inhib because covert cynos can still be lit and fed a bunch before killing the gon cyno beacon and getting in some apostles at which point gon left

just like goons used to do in delve, the idea of having an umbrella is that you respond to every threat with overwhelming force so people are disincentivized to roam your space

I love my dumb XLASB Gnosis. I once again bubbled a gate in Frat staging. First this guy who lost a Jackdaw to me came back in a Cerberus with a buddy in a bomber. I just killed the Cerb and drove the bomber away. A bit later they decide I need to go I guess and a Praxis drops into my bubble, which is obvious bait for whatever comes next but I take it in case something dumb happens. As soon as I do, four Coraxes show in at 40 to lob missiles at me and a Svipul comes in to tackle me. I'm running out of tank, I think I'm dying, but the Praxis pops. The destroyers are dropping me deep into armor, but this has taken long enough that one of my XLASB reloads comes in clutch. From there I'm able to kill the Svipul and given I can't really touch the Coraxes, just leave.

Then I realize I should go back in case there's any good loot, find the Coraxes looting the field along with a t1 logi, and drive those off before they get anything. :v:

lol that’s awesome. I’m usually on the other side of “getting scrammed, webbed, then neuted and killed,” so it’s nice to read about things I don’t have the irl skillz to do. I’ve gotten good at running/dodging gatecamps with perches and/or cloak/mwd trickses, but if I get caught I panic and start button mashing like a Mortal Kombat reject. If you ever record some of these, I’d love a link to watch and maybe pick up a pointer or three!

I only really started doing pvp stuff properly a few months back. It's been fun to learn but I'm definitely not amazing at it. All of these fights are like, wait, huh, that's how that goes? I actually should have a clip of that one, I'll see about uploading it somewhere. This camp wasn't a surprise for any of them since they came to fight me anyway.

If you ever wanna join in on some small scale stuff lemme know. Doesn't matter what corp you're in or whatever (though I guess if half the universe is blue to you we gotta watch who we shoot), and we go from Jita.

Unless they’ve changed it super recently then in GSF you’re not allowed to go on NPSI fleets (which are fleets where people from tonnes of different groups come together to shoot poo poo and have fun, if that’s what you’re actually asking) at all, whether they end up in friendly space or not.

You should really really look at the rules post on the forums

Kaysette posted:

Yeah, it does, but they create a tonne of work that atrum and his slaves don’t want to deal with, so it’s easier just to ban them outright than deal with the “oh but I didn’t shoot anything” and “oh but I had left fleet by then.”

Pro gamer tip: if you want to awox and get away with it just join bomber fleets and aim for the blue stuff :devil:

Tbqh, I was simply asking what a NPSI fleet was. I hate seeing acronyms I can’t parse, especially in games I play. Seems kinda weird, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t appeal to me. And then the whole “don’t piss off the diplos” just adds to that.
