Is it still possible to disband an alliance and cause a ton of systems and stations to become unclaimed?

Yeah but all the Keepstars would still be there so it wouldn't really make any difference as far as making it easier to conquer.

No they're not, you can fish out the entire region in less than a day and then they'll either dock up until you're clear of their intel channel, or hate gently caress you into oblivion with stealth bombers.

No way. How did I not notice? What happened?


I mean I'm not lacking for reasons but what reason specifically?

I don't have anything official I can cite however I can say from my own being around when it happened it could be any combination of the following or my own wishful thinking:

Sitting in hostile staging trying to talk his way into docking rights during multiple major deployments as a form of "psychological warfare" instead of you know, deploying
Being inactive as hell
Not being engaged with the corp at large in any of the numerous ways to even low effort connect with anyone
Being a poo poo tier representative of corp values
Ditching the Goon Dinner in Vegas to instead hang out with Horde at their dinner. Raving about the meat there. Still didn't get docking rights with this gambit.

I can actually think of one other thing that was serious enough to make me advocate for his punting but it's OpSec enough that I can't say what it was. Long story short: Anything for those docking rights.

The thing I find most funny is that even months later he hasn't just loving joined them for the rights so he can get his container of carbon or whatever out of the stupid KS.

I joined during the war in summer 2018 and that conflict was active and fun. Over the following year got skilled into caps for the next deployment and brought an assortment of faxes and a super and all kinds of subcaps to sit around for a while and then get dickshot by Nonconsensual PvE. It's now almost a year after that and I have my obligatory 2 titans in my hangar waiting for the next war but Imma be honest here, I don't really see that happening unless we finally do the needful and evict Test for being the Casino War violators they are.

The terms are interchangeable, but by using one or the other you clearly define also which side you are on. I'd like to think most people argue the semantics of it for a little light hearted chest thumping for their alliance. There is also definitely a nonzero amount of troll-y bullshit people about it though.

I never did get the people who use the "you won't get content????" line when referring to our blue list. Isn't that a good thing for you guys? Us not getting content means that all of the ~good honest God-fearing PVPers~ will flee, causing us to succumb to internal rot. Maybe that's not an acceptable failure scenario or something?

Yeah I'm not really blaming Goonfleet or whatever since it is just a generic Eve alliance these days. There isn't an economic incentive in this game anymore for people to fight each other beyond just 'wanna PvP' stuff.

delay local, double rat bounties, delete half of all nullsec systems randomly (and if some areas are cut off forever so be it) remove aoe DDs, roll back fighter changes, remove logi except t2 cruiser and fax logi, remove shield timer from all citadels, low power = no armor timer ie no timers, remove asset safety, mandatory girlfriend requirement in order to PvE and botters will be gulaged irl

pre 2012

also back then it was far easier to evict alliances and hurt them, now you will literally burn out your own members faster than you'll have people in your opposing alliance quit their group because of your in game actions even when seriously outnumbering them.

the only viable pvp tactic in nullsec is the metagame
