Not much, really. That’s the idea. It’s best to minimize decision-making and creativity for your subcap dps pilots. This, combined with broadcasts and fleet movement and other cool stuff, lets FCs take on pretty much every phase of decision-making up to actually firing guns. Which some people have problems figuring out.

So there is essentially no disparity in skill between the line members of different groups?

like 90% of the outcome of a fight comes down the preparedness and the FC skill rather than the line members. even more advanced doctrines like stukas or ishtars come down to having like one or two extra buttons to press and being more disciplined about listening to the fc

Ya'all say that, but go fly in a reaver fleet then fly a main fleet. There is a bell curve of skill between any group of players. You'd think "Follow broadcasts, keep at range on FC, don't jump unless told" is something 90% of the fleet can manage. And you'd sometimes be wrong.

And you'd sometimes be wrong. Bolded the important bits. The difference between "main fleet" and whatever sig du jour has the best fc comes down to not only whether someone really skilled is leading it but also whether the people following will actually do as they are instructed. Probably the ur-example of this in goonswarm was eg fleets with vee where you would have 100m sp dudes flying vigils or whatever specific thing was requested, rather than a dozen or more people clogging up the fleet with functionally useless travelceptors. Tighter fleet composition and fleet discipline tend to follow the better fcs, who get their own cult following of people and once that is achieved you start being able to do complex stuff that does not work with "main fleet" as well. This makes the fc in question even better, since he can then do things other fcs cannot even try to do.

 Which department would I need to contact, in order to find out information, on how to facilitate the destruction of a wormhole corp via a goon attack?I am a vactioned member  that has recently joined a boring wormhole corp. I thought it would be fun, unfortunately I realise that at my core I am a kamikaze, frigate pilot, that likes to tackle things. I recall there being a goon structure in place for events like this. I cannot remember where exactly. I remember there being a goon specific forum with this information, but I could be wrong.

So, I am a crossroads and don’t know what to do with myself. I have been back to the game for 3 weeks. In another 3 days I will be able to climb in to my capital ships that, when I had left, I had near perfect skills for when I left. Then I don’t know what to train. Before I left I had a plan of just polishing my sub-cap skills like weapons specs V, drone specs V, etc. Now there is all this new poo poo I could train and have no idea if I should train. go for a stroll posted:Hey can all you people who just discovered station trading please stick to outbidding in .01 isk increments? Doing more than that accomplishes nothing except make it so I can't adjust my orders via scroll wheel. This is exactly why I do it, because when you cannot do it by scroll will you sometimes make a mistake still leaving me with the highest buy price/lower sell price. Then you cannot change the order for 5 minutes, and depending on the volume you trade you might forget it. I am also the rear end in a top hat who sometimes puts up what you’ve been selling for 25% below current market so that you buy them to maximize your margins and I profit quickly from something that might take a month to sell while constantly having to modify my market orders.

GSF is not your personal army and the one group in the coalition that ever really did WH evictions for strategic/tactical reasons ceased to do them shortly after Citadels became a thing. They're also dead because of a shitpost taken both too far and too seriously. Unless it's a WH corp actively associated with a group we want to poo poo on, and making GBS threads on it meets current strategic needs, you're better off trying to hire Lazerhawks or something. E: Also if you want to be a dumb kamikaze tackle pilot, rejoin GSF or something. We can always make use of suicide tackle.

Goons, I just realized I have over 2,000,000 LP for Republic Fleet across all my characters. Assuming, which is true, that my personal hangar is already overflowing with faction and dead space poo poo (meaning I don’t need anything the LP store offers), what is currently going to be the best bang buck LP wise?

iirc drone bandwidth was added to stop people from flying 5 heavy drone ishkurs in like, 2006. bandwidth wasn't the limiting factor on drones in carriers either, you were capped at a theoretical 15
