Pretty much any mandatory default chat channel where the member list is populated, including corp and alliance chat. CCP started waking up to the perfect intel of watchlists and I like to think it's because someone started playing and got owned by it.

Maybe give something a 5-15 second window when it cynos in where it isn't safe? Nothing too large but windows of vulnerability while travelling are important

I mean i gave up on CCP caring about the last design decision when interceptors didn't change for the past 2.5 years, but the KM on this page just proves that I'm not doing it right by not using a smartbombing super.

This is almost as satisfying as hearing about TEST FCs going full turbosperg.

Certified 17-year old shitposter progod mcnobody is down here welping fleets, meanwhile the quality FCs in the MBC are off prepping for the upcoming AT.

I guess coaching the equivalent of a Special-Olympics team leaves you with a lot of free time to roam around Delve and poo poo.

Or did TEST get hosed in the random drawing like GSF? I can't be bothered to actually verify my poo poo talking.

Fozzie Sov is about small groups taking sov and balkanizing nullsec, sov will be more fluid so no more blue donuts. You see goonie, it will be better for the game overall because the CFC was bHEY WHY IS PL ENTOSISING OUR STUFF I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL FOR GUDFITES NOW

Just call him Progod, he's only a legend in his own mind. Much like TEST he's only ever managed to do things in eve with a ton of NC./PL handholding.

Oh and he's good at building gimmick doctrines that work once then promptly fall apart once someone goes "Hm yes, bring more antisupport which is fun to fly anyways."

TBH Lumpy is getting a great deal out of this. They never really used any of their space and they get to farm what's going to be the most active ratting region in nullsec in short order. In short: Living in NPC delve is going to be fun as hell for any group that isn't goons.

Honestly anyone willing to take retards out and do things deserve a shiny medal. People take for granted just the ability to prioritize targets and call them out quickly and efficiently. Until you've seen the utter chaos of a relatively inexperienced FC get overloaded just on target selection (Or done it yourself) it's best not to be super judgemental.

EDIT: With that in mind however PGL is an unlikable shitbird who crows on and on about talent he only has in negatives, so gently caress him anyways.

This. Even well regulated slow ball gank fleets can be kind of crazy (especially when sitting on grid for more than 10s means dead fleet). I'm a pretty experienced highsec elite pvp FC, but last time I tried to FC in null, holy poo poo was it bad.

Yeah, I'll also second this, though my area of expertise is microgang gatecamps, w-space ganks, and some smaller gang action. I ended up leading one or two 40-man fleets, and while I'm pretty proud they weren't a complete clusterfuck, they were a lot of work and far from easy dunk. I was pretty worn out after 10-15 minutes of fighting.

That said, I really don't think there are a lot of excuses for being a lovely person on comms to your members. I mean, I'll forgive poo poo said in the heat of the moment, but continual toxic attitude isn't good for anyone. Lyris really wins awards for being friendly and chill endlessly, regardless of anything else.

Yeah I never lead a gang above the 30-40 man mark, and I'd say my comfort zone never really gets above 20. To be fair though it was always 20 really expensive ships :v:. Despite a lot of people getting worried that I'd yell at them, I really only did it a grand total of maybe three times, and all of those times were for the crime of being unchill in coms when poo poo was going down. I.E. starting a bitchy slapfight with someone while we were mid fight with a small BC gang or something stupid. There's always some "I need the last word" fuckhead who can't shut the gently caress up when things are actually happening because his desire to be proven right or wrong overrules all common sense. I shut that garbage down viciously to the point of kicking people out of coms and blowing their ship up. Because it's disruptive as gently caress, and it can turn an entire night sour if it's left to run.
