if some director dipshit is acting like a dipshit because he is self-absorbed, then tell him such. There's no need to worry about backlash. If a bunch of pubbie shitters start white knighting because he's important, tell them to gently caress off too.

big shout out and thanks to the homies who have been showing up to my money printing fleets. ive been saving up that isk to buy us a roam fleet  psilocybin laden posted:if some director dipshit is acting like a dipshit because he is self-absorbed, then tell him such. There's no need to worry about backlash. diplos exist to smooth over blue shooting. honestly if youre not shooting blues then youre putting their jobs at risk for lack of work.

NPSI seems like... a drama creating engine. I guess this is what happens when you create a blue donut AND you hate your diplos.

It's not really. If the destination is your home, just drop out. If you shoot one of the many light blues you made, people just need to get over it. 1 bomber out of 30 being blue isn't the reason you lost your orca.

Had a bit of fun today in FW land today, setting off quite a chain of events For those that don't know FW, every few hours you get a plex spawn that pays up to 150000k LP per person and usually everyone rushes to do them. They always spawn after DT. Today an FC decided to ignore the DT spawns to plex a specific system, so off minmil went to collect easy LP. Meanwhile, we started running Listening Posts (mini krab beacons for FW) and eventually minmil spotted us on their way home from the battlefield they completed. They leeroyed their kitchen sink fleet into our kitchen sink fleet and everyone kinda died and went to reship. We spotted an open plex (any ship can enter) so decided to get some more firepower prepared. I had a battleship lying around and 2 alts in a guardian, so I figured I'd go be bait. Minmil decided to escalate and warp a Phoenix to the open (quite rare for FW) and we held it whilst we put a couple of dreads on ourselves... https://zkillboard.com/kill/112325473/ It promptly died and unbeknownst to us at that moment, seemed to set off a few intel channels... We correctly assumed minmil would reform into HACs, so we did the same. We had a bit further to travel so minmil got in the plex first. Oddly with many of their fleet left behind in staging so we sensed some kind of bait. Fortuitously, 5 Vargurs unrelated to FW took the bait and Minmil immediately responded with a Zirn escalation. We figured we needed to start moving ASAP and by the time we reached destination multiple BIGAB dreads were on grid. There seems to be a new era of FW in light of the pirate announcements where min and amarr mils would prefer to work together to keep pirates at bay We offered our help to minmatar and they politely declined, we decided to travel anyway as we can of course still shoot everyone and in the space of 1j minmil changed their tune and said come help! This led to a pretty fun engagement and we manged to kill a fax along with some dreads. https://br.evetools.org/br/652a985af2fe2705d565d67b During the fight, another group of pirates came to help, along with a streamer fleet who also decided to dunk on bigab. Granted, a BR of 150 vs 75 isn't the most impressive thing in the world but we had fun as we don't get to beat BIGAB often. Intact, following that fight one of the pirate groups invited us to help defend a few timers against bigab, I missed most of the fleet, but seems bigab avenged their earlier losses https://br.evetools.org/br/652b2adeda82cc06a1b8e1af That being said, all 3 timers were saved so that was good as well, at least, until on the last structure one of the pirates pressed jump instead of bridge https://zkillboard.com/kill/112338364/ Thanks for listening to my TED talk on the fun you can have in low sec

jutsu was trying to bridge some griffins or something to jam off our guys because the structure had very little time left. had they done nothing, we would have killed it, and it repaired because we were busy, yknow, shooting the titan

The tfis were sirekur, the titan was gukarla I knew the gukarla dread left it late and had to deal with the titan so was the non torp cycle in sirekur whilst you guys ate tfis?

In that specific BR the space hobos toons are all one person multiboxing all the toons. The main is LETUSDIG I think he was in Jutsu for a bit and previously in minmil so well connected if something is going down in the area.

Got another write up for us? Oh and anyone got advice for reinforcing athanors with 2 characters? Im thinking about using 2 marauders instead of a dread. Theyre kind of expensive these days. I have begun fueding with some russians and Id like to do some infrastructure trolling.

Elchimpster posted:Got another write up for us? Can't help with the athanors but I'll write up what I am aware of in Irnin. This is a story about high sec war deccers getting their comeuppance. If you don't know who SRS are, they are the the equivalent of groups like BLACK FLAG who camp the pipe to market hubs. In this instance, SRS operate around the Amarr trade hub. According to SRS themselves, they targeted us because we had a idiot... member who liked to run high sec missions from the amarr trade hub in this: https://zkillboard.com/kill/108751661/ Amusingly, this particular guy was on my hit list because he was never in fleets, discord, comms etc. (I thought he was a spy) The loss mail prompted me to DM him to ask him if he was able to engage with the corp, was finding everything ok and he elected to leave instead. I believe he was a really weird spy but I'll never know  Anyway, we would occasionally bait them and beat them up to try and get them to drop the war dec. https://zkillboard.com/kill/109277596/ but it just wasnt working. That's when I decided to go on their discord and find out whats up and they said 1. they spotted the Marshall and 2. One of our guys called them high sec losers when we were baiting them so they decided to retain the war dec. We are a pretty new bro friendly outfit and have people who go to Amarr on their mains (despite our hauling service, grr!) and I kinda wanted to get rid of this war dec for their sakes. Over time I have been invited into many anti pirate discords,but these usually turn out to be disgruntled people who cant really do anything. Eventually I get a DM from a member of DECOY who said they and Dead Terrorists are going to turn up with a thicc battleship fleet so if we can support that would be cool. I think this newly formed coalition planned to shoot MSF, who are some other local pirate war deccers, get rid of that war, then isolate SRS but they lost a fight to MSF (I thought we were never going to shake the war dec at this point!!) Eventually, I get a message that DECOY have managed to get phorde on board and an armor timer has been made on the SRS Fort. Due to the high sec mechanics, you can only logi your own alliance so we just went in Jackdaws, essentially to whore on kill mails Turned out to be quite a large grid, Horde came in tempests, goons/init came in vagabonds, FRT came in tornados. As far as I'm aware, I think Tempest did most of the Armor timer, but eventually lost the horrible tidi fight to goons and FRT, the good news was that Goons finished the timer off anyway. Here is the BR: https://br.evetools.org/br/652fb3a0f31f5d0abe50804a I would say the columns are 1. the pirates, 2. people who just showed up 3. People I was aware of coming with the intention to shoot pirates Overall, lots of ships died and a hull timer was made. SRS committed their Megas once Horde vs Goons vs FRT seemed to finish, but the DECOY/DT leshaks melted them and then they carried on finishing the job. Fast forward to yesterday, the hull timer comes straight out, a bit later than the armor one which was tricky for our primarily EU coalition. We had info that Horde were 50/50 as they had a null op to attend but eventually we got info that they had pinged for the high sec timer, great news! It wasnt quite as busy this time https://br.evetools.org/br/652f0d21483c230a390ce7d1 But critically, the job got done: https://zkillboard.com/kill/112417893/ If you've managed to keep up with my ramblings, then you might spot that the last BR is dominated by MSF, not SRS. Something that was a bit weird going through all this was that SRS kept moving war decs between backup alliances. Not sure if this was to perpetuate war decs after they lost the fort or a failed attempt to exploit the situation in some way. The other thing they did was move all their toons into MSF in order to logi each other through the fight I suppose the lesson for me is that we should offer a war assist on someone fighting MSF next time as we didnt have a lot to do other than shoot a few missiles at the fort But we were all pleased to see it die and we will see if we get a new war dec in a couple of weeks time I guess. angry armadillo fucked around with this message at 11:42 on Oct 18, 2023 |

That's the conclusion we came to also. We have 1 war Dec left which should expire in the next hour or 2. Hopefully we became enough of a bother and they ignore us

Libluini posted:Couldn't you get around this by staggering your bomber squads with some good timing? Send in a bombing run of 7x bombers first, and then send the second one in time to launch bombs, so the first wave is already safely exploded 1–2 seconds before the next wave hits, and so on. You get around this problem by putting your bomber wings at several different points on the grid with the people you are bombing in the center and setting up your warp ins so each wings bomb explosions overlap each other but the overlap doesn’t reach the other wings bombs thus exploding them. This is the Vee/Kcolor method and it all got watered down because y’all put boat in charge of bombers and he’s not got the patience for grid prep that his predecessors did so he went with waves instead (far less effective). But since the context is small gang my go to method for bombing a fleet with low resources was always to trick them into turning their MWDs on. Post up a in-line bubble like 15km from the gate where a fc may just go “gently caress it mwd on and burn to the gate” rather than bounce off a perch then aim my bombers between the gate and the bubble. I knocked out several TEST fleets this way in the 2013 fountain war. At the very least they are going to be wounded and you’ll have killed off a good chunk of their T1 and sub cruiser hulls. Back in the day we regularly nuked BC fleets doing this. Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Oct 19, 2023 |

I wanted to drive an alt in a DST into Frat staging for replacement ships at some point since I'm spending quite a lot of time there, but you can't share mobile depots, nor jettison them into space to be picked up, so there'd be no way to fit them.
