Were gamer words being exchanged? How can a forum probation not solve this problem? I am not trying to overly simplify a problem, just weird how a small problem can escalate to this kind of huge mess.

If you gently caress around with SRP rules, it means you are loving around with Atrum. I know Atrum can probate people from using the SRP app if they make a mess and double down too much but since it escalated to an air lock, I assume the guy was really pushing the buttons hard and often.

This is correct.

The falcon thing started as an AAD (ask a director) thread that threadnaughted (for AAD) to like 5 or 6 pages. Everyone generally had a good time there and no one was angry.

Then there was some shitposting in TWR and I think some logs got sent (jabber or discord I don�t remember) where once mittens read through them his schismatic antenna started twitching and he airlocked that guy.

Then, instead of just, like, quietly moving the guy�s stuff out for him, a bunch of big brains in hole squid leadership dropped a citadel for banned dude and added him to the ACL in like direct violation of several coalition policies.

So they got airlocked too, mostly for being loving dipshits and not using their brains instead of like schismatic poo poo.

We refer to it as falcon SRP because it�s generally just funnier that way instead of outlining everything else above.

See, this is the good stuff.

So skynetting was fine as long as they did it to destroy structures, but as soon as we turn it into a defensive tactic it's an exploit.

Oic, you are not a noob like me! I have been messing around with imports. I tried to import some helium isotopes but they dipped like less than a day after I got my stuff to 1dq. Apparently it's price controlled, rip me.

I know mittens posted about how its important to airlock certain folks or whatever, but I have a feeling it was used far more often than what was needed.

The folks who got airlocked from this little kerfuffle didn't really need to be airlocked. At least, not in my opinion. They weren't "schismatics" or dangerous to the culture of the Imperium - in all honestly, Hole Squad at the time was much more like Delta Sqad of today than anything else. A bunch of dumb goons having fun by boiling out of a clown car and beating up pubbies.

andromache posted:

Yeah I forgot about the citadel drop leading to everyone involved in that bit of idiocy getting air locked.

It was a cavalcade of dumbassery from the directorate on down.

This is generally accurate, though.

Madcows. Which meant that during the time we had ElitistOps back in Goonswarm Federation, he got back into The Imperium while the people who covered for him were still airlocked.

I'm convinced the Icelandic method for determining the legality of anything in EVE is like the Margaritaville episode of South Park. They cut the head off a fish and let it flop around on a decision board while playing an Langspil.

Drone assist was nerfed heavily.

Skynetting (at least how we're using it) involves having Carriers/Supers tethered on a keepstar or other friendly structure, with their fighters orbiting a nearby stargate.

If the carriers are ever in any danger, they can disconnect from their fighters and be re-tethered again within 60 seconds (when the combat timer expires)

I kind of understand what tethering is from the context, but maybe not exactly. I assume this is something that was introduced when the game brought in keepstars and citadels instead of the old stations/pos warfare?

The addition of tethering (the invulnerability beam that citadels cast on you if you haven't targeted or aggressed anything) and the fighter revamp (manual control, homeworld style, targetable to 1000km+, or longer than the exclusion zone of a citadel and a gate) happened at the same time.
