When did command destroyers become a thing? I'm so happy that the corax hull is being used for something new, but are they super useful?

Join blackops_pub in jabber and look for the mumble blops channels and join foreign legion 1. Now is a good time to learn since we are half new guys and half vets shaking the rust off.

When done correctly yes. You can MJD a group of logi away from their fleet, or the DPS off the logi, etc. It's also used on station undocks to combat docking games and jumps people off their undocks to a quick death. Does not affects capital ships though.

Feels good to not be on that list.

Finally saw a command destroyer in action today, and it was cool! Maelstrom tried to play docking games and was promptly taken out back and shot. Neat mechanic.

Did you know that now if you board a ship, leave it, and not use it for months it'll get rust/dust on it?

They are in fact very useful. Like it was said earlier, it's great for loving up the other fleets positioning or creating space for your group.

Here's me using my CD to snag a FCON guy off the Saranen undock. Just ignore how I missed grabbing the Iteron. :cripes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czKprt_2ujU

Anyway you can see the value in these things. The beauty of that clip is that I got the FCON dude to fire first, meaning he took station gun damage :black101:

That's unfortunate. I hope they were only angry for a little bit and calmed down and didn't actually unsub/quit the game. If not they actually did quit, I won't lie I'll be a little sad.

And by "what we do" you mean the whole "summer child" thing that CEO update went on about? I think overall a lot of our guys know fair fights etc. aren't really how EVE works etc. If this war teaches them anything hopefully its that and we can help them adapt to how it happens, which with stuff like Cloud Ring I think we did an OK job of. SMA were good for the sort of mutually friendly fights, but when Exodus or GSF came down and just out (insert whatever) Horde, not a lot of people got angry but I know some frustration was had by a few of the newer FCs used to the SMA fights. Then again we gained something like 2000 new members in the interim so that could also be a problem.

One of my Rheas was being camped into a station by an OSS sabre a few minutes ago. The sabre killed the cyno I had jumped to and the cynos pod was lingering on the undock. Then a Test command destroyer came to jump away the pod and he got the OSS sabre instead so the Rhea could undock and jump out :v:

Not unfair fights but literally providing nothing at all save an execution. Blackops game play is basically a case of superpredators in space.

The goal is to remove any real agency from one side and reduce them to the state of "Victim", not one side of a losing fight. It's psychological warfare that actually has a spaceship component.

It's mega effective when done well and has absolutely smashed big strong pvp groups in the past.

I tried to be generous with my space dollars, I gave a bunch of poo poo away in Dodixie and Amarr a few times (PLEX, Machariels, other stuff), randomly increased EVE-Radio contest pools, and sometimes legitimately doubled peoples isk. When I app'd to PL there was a pretty hilarious anti-me post on test forums because 2 TSK members were bitter I wouldn't give them 20b each days before they got kicked from GSF.

That's all.

I've been everywhere, at one point or another. TEST, Amokdotte, GoonWaffe, PL, Waffles, Fweddit, Noir., a bunch of lowsec groups, The 0rphanage (when that was a thing), RvB. I just like shooting spaceships, and don't really buy into all that 'You're in X alliance' so I have to hate you because space dad said so nonsense. I do enjoy stirring the pot from time to time, but that's mostly because there's little to no objective truth in EVE and people adamantly defend themselves against anything you might say in an light towards their in-game activities (i.e. telling Marmites highsec doesn't matter).

Not gonna find me claiming most of test isn't dumb as all hell. But +1 for emergent gameplay in any case, I'm really looking forward to all of the weird new mechanics that are going to keep trickling in.
