goons made some art and sigs on the website and called themselves goonrathi on the forums (which is what star citizen still is, forums and a store front), but then there was drama and space court because kim got removed from it due to offending carebears in another video game, it was very funny.

In 2013/2014 i think people still thought Star Citizen was a thing, and going to be an imminent thing. This whole fiasco was a good excuse for them to purge undesirables, but they also purged a guy named Lincoln in ArcheAge, who happened to be THEUNITEDSTATESOFAMERICA on Star Citizen/goonrathi, who happened to be the person who made 100% of their artwork, unbeknownst to them. I think he made a ton of EVE pixel art in GSF too, which was kind of his specialty.

whoops. :shrug:

I don't feel like digging into goonrathi forums history now but I'm pretty sure the guy who did the artwork is 3 not THEUSA. The plot thickens.

So I just had an idea - feel free to poo poo all over it: Black Ops Capitals

No, not supercaps that cloak for reasons other than safespotting, but rather slick-fit slightly-debuffed carriers, dreadnoughts, and FAX that can use a capital-sized black-ops cloak. Give the dreads reduced damage, but augment it with a phenomena-style 'debuff' for enemy ships on grid (which should scale in intensity with the size of the fleet), and give the carriers less fighters to play with.

But what I'd really like is the idea that these ships should be able to jump without a cyno beacon on the other side. It shouldn't be as precise as using a cyno, but the FC of the fleet these things are in should be able to aim at a constellation in the region they're targeting, and depending on the amount of ships in the fleet, the jump should be more accurate to a given system, to simulate being able to network the ships' navigational computers together for a more accurate blind jump. If you wanted to make it more 'black ops-ey,' make it so a scout needs to place a navigational beacon in the target system that will self-destruct after a given period, but will also show up on scan if you're dumb enough to drop one too close to a heavily-trafficked spot.

Obviously the targets for these things would be anomaly runners and poorly-defended moon mining POSes.

I'd buy one. I don't know if I would ever undock it, but I would definitely buy one.

The next exclusive one (for backers who are in at the "I mortgaged my house for this" level) will have a punch bowl spiked with rat poison, it will be the exclusive release party wherein they finally reveal that it's all been a scam. It will be all of them in a room and there will be a camera livestreaming croberts and co from Coke and Hooker Island as he reveals his trickery.

Thanks to whoever posted that market guide. I'm a lovely newbie with very little capital but have managed to climb from 1B ISK net worth to 2.5B ISK in a week, pretty happy with myself.

E: Best item I've managed to find so far is the one I've been able to flip at ~500x the purchase price.

The best profit margins I can find that aren't so competitive they require constant poopsocking and active enough that there's a reasonably quick return is about 10x purchase price. I've done pretty well, managed to nearly double 400m ISK from a week's worth of wheeling and dealing

What surprised me about simple arbitrage is how low the barrier of entry is. My market alt started with 100k and turned it into 2bn. (Not terribly fast, but fast enough that it was more than an academic exercise.)

I only posted that guide because I was coming up on a busy time of year and couldn't find the time to poop sock my orders for a while. I already cashed out all of my orders a week prior!

I was kind of curious what would happen to the market :twisted:
