Was someone trying to gate a freighter down to staging without a cover fleet? wtf?

There was a cover fleet. It warped off without him.

It's all been taken care of now though.

too late for me. resubbed and applied to goonwaffe last night. coming back to a game at 33 that you played for a few months at 18 (syndicate days) is kinda wild. seems to still hold up well imo.

i've just been rackin up the isk in lowsec / wormholes around jita doing relic sites in a heron waiting for my email invite to come. i also picked up some old ships from an asset safety wrap from when i resubbed last time in 2013 ish?

I was talking to a random ex-text pandemic horde line member, and they were *going off* about how this is the line members chance to show leadership what they could have done at 1DQ and whatnot. I got the impression this person had inhaled a lot of caffeine at this point in the day, as have I to be fair.

What's the political context?

Test and Horde deployed to Feythabolis to help FI.RE and to harass Imperium blues in Esoteria that moved in after Army of Mangos laughably Failscaded. Init and a few Sigs deployed to D-P in Esoteria to join in on the fun. Horde had some successes and were hurfing blurfs, so we deployed the GEF. After some fun fights, we were able to anchor a Fortizar in TR07-S in Feythabolis, and relocate our staging. This gave us a foothold in Feyt, that we have been using to face stomp them. Many I-Hubs, TCU's and structures have been popped, with little to no resistance, and more on the way.

J-TPTA is a strategic system as it is within Jump range of TR07-S and most of central Feythabolis, and TEST Staging. We were able to pop the I-Hub there and in a few neighboring systems which degraded their jump bridge networks. Todays fight was over a X.I.X. Fortizar armor timer. While we got a bloody nose in a big fight we still won the objective. If that X.I.X. Fortizar goes pop, it will further degrade PAPI's ability to harass our staging, and puts us that much closer to theirs.

The political context is that PAPI started loving around in the no-no zone of Esoteria. PAPI was bringing better numbers than what a couple of Sigs could handle, so GEF was deployed so secure our south eastern front. Now PAPI is losing ground, not to the full might of the Imperium mind you, but a GEF deployment. With any luck it may kick off a full scale war.

Sorry for venting, and I did not mean to take over even a little bit, but I did think further explanation was needed to answer others’ posting. We’re all generally making do here, but I hope that explains some of my earlier comments about availability from the same post about “being mostly alone/solo but contributing to anything needed in a social game with goons.” During the day I might, for instance, be able to spin spaceships and intermittently chat, but not feel comfortable in a vital, full time needed role (tank/healer in WoW or EQ terms) even if Mom is here to patrol the doors & potties :argh:.

I only joined a couple of fleets for the last war, I mostly hung out around the hellcamp cloaked up in a dictor waiting to (And succesfully) plugging holes whenever bubbles got popped and someone tried to sneak out. I can't set aside six hours to gently caress around in a long fleet/long fight. I generally don't have two hours to game that I can stitch together unless I forgo sleep. Do what you can when you can. Nobody will give a poo poo that you aren't popping up for Mega CTA's.
