I think the reason they keep trying to drip in keeps is because if the roles were reversed TEST would have internally collapsed at this point, they are incapable of getting their nose bloody. Watching vily on reddit smugpost about 2000 dead battleships and have sheer disbelief that we are able to rebuild is just totally indicative of their mindset. They think we are about to collapse at any moment, because if it were TEST, they would have already collapsed.

Like, 'what do you mean there isn't an immediate bridge to the fight? TWO GATES? Well. Ok, but I'm not happy about it.'

I find that by being in goons you get spoiled very quickly. I almost feel bad for the true newbee because you hear about the scope of this game and the size of ships, you are excited about titans, etc. then you join goonfleet and pod yourself to null and literally a titan and supercaps and rorquals and jump freighters and keepstars are THE FIRST things you see when you undock. And you will see them every day likely for the rest if your bull sec life.

The most storied or legendary things in this game instantly become some of the most ubiquitous, no big deal things, and it is kinda :smith: when I look back on my own experience since I have been playing since 07.

You seem to think that all of the 'bads' lining up against you are all on the same mindset. In reality, there are about 20 random alliances in Querious now. The only thing bringing them together is a loose aim of removing Imperium from Delve. That is it. PAPI leadership are all on the same comms but that is it. There is no more unified structure than that.

We all know that Imperium isn't just going to implode. We can all work out how many ravens can be built in a 24hr period. Stop having a hard on for everything Vily says and brushing whatever mindset he has in the entire group against you.

hurrdurr why don't they just drop 20 keepstars at the same time - I don't think this will work. It is easy for a couple of bombers or 3 dreads to pause a keepstar timer. So it doesn't succeed in splitting Imperium forces up. If PAPI did this and got one online then it would be more down to pure luck than anything else.


To give you all a break, I will only post again when PAPI drop a keepstar.
EDIT: drop a keepstar in Delve and get it online.

According to the extensive Eve Online lore the Eden Common Defense Initiative, or EDENCOM for short, was formed specifically to fight against the very recent Trig invasion. So it would make sense to me that they designed their ships to counter the trig resist type

I thought by lore the T2 Trig ships are not designed by the trig, they are stolen technology and designed for capsuleers.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
This war seemed interesting and yet at cross purposes. Our goal seems to be to preserve Delve and keep hostile keepstars out and their goal seems to be to pad killsheets.

Since these are not mutually exclusive nor in opposition, why doesn’t this war just go on forever?

Every now and then papi tries to anchor a keepstar. We throw ships into the meat grinder until we kill it. They get their killmails and we keep Delve. Since everyone is getting what they want there is no reason to change anything ever.



I’ve been debating coming back, since a fleet doctrine of ravens would allow me to put caldari BS V to use as well as my several trillion SP in missile skills, but with an A name my survivability rate hovers at zero.

But what really appeals to me is my memory of snugging my Hulk and hauler alt up against a rock and sucking crok for about 45 minutes. Is there room for a bad nullsec player with a penchant for losing hulks every now and then?
