How will people do super carrier hunting after Wednesday ?
Considering a super can turn a HIC into a wreck in seconds and has crazy long range neuts you will have to bring in the cavalry real quick to make sure it doesn't escape.
Funny that titan seems much more vulnerable.

Light fighters are pretty good at killing frigates.

Old supers with old fits and no fighter skills will be really hosed though.

Ah, forgot they split them between light and heavy fighters. Yeah I imagine hunting supers is going to be quite a bit harder after this next patch.

e: On the other hand though it seems like capitals will be pretty fun to fly.

Also re the deadtear vs others thing about "no you're having a meltdown no YOU are having a meltdown" thing: "meltdown" accusations are the "you mad" of this thread and with the exception of the one real one in this thread (sorry despera that was you) all the rest were spurious. Generally if someone in here throws the meltdown accusation around they mean "I don't think I want to argue with that".

That's very kind of you to say. I'd been going to do what you suggest, and then close the last thread: a bit of enticing drama about the big war that was going on, some stuff about all the places and ways you could play eve and all the ways it had improved since virtually everyone in the Games subforums had abandoned a trial in disgust after four hours, and a bunch of low blows for cheap internet laughs. Then post two would be a biggish thing about joining goonwaffe and a smaller bit about joining groon, but (even though it couldn't have been dryer and more unappetizing than the op they eventually came up with) I knew it would just cause huge drama so I just left it until they came up with their own one.

If Ben was more active they could have a few ISRAD lines and a link to an ISRAD post that he could update with their current situation. Or someone he picks to manage the ISRAD post.

Though I'm not sure if they are an elite pvp gooncorp or an elite pvp corp with several goons in it.

Is that far fetched? A general Eve thread and then posts from representatives of various gooncorps. These posts are then linked to in the OP and each post is handled by someone representing that corp on SA.

It sounds like a really good idea, but I suspect one group will be a bit negative about it.

Yeah I think Tokyo and Zephyrine were right that the OP should be a general eve sales pitch with either the 2nd post filled with recruitment stuff or links to the recruitment threads in the OP. I think Zephyrine's idea is probably a better one since it works with new groups popping up like DJ's one.

It might be less of an empty death zone if all the madposting got corralled into there.

We might actually be able to manage more than one non-drama-importing post per page or something

Right. It doesn't matter where a recruitment post is in the thread. As long as the creator manages it and it reamains linked early on page one. Maybe a corp switches representative. Then the new representative just makes a new post and that post can be linked to on page 1.
