someone brought a marauder to 1dq expecting to lose it and did, news at 11

They had a whole kitchen sink fleet there. It worked really well at first because goons can't help themselves and kept suiciding themselves at them, so we formed a corm fleet and they got massacred. It was fun!

Would depend on whether we'd lost our supers. If we had, then they'd probably stick around. If not? Yeah, right.

since this war began i'm just ever more torqued at test on the daily and i'd like to fast-forward to the bits where we scour them and drive them before us, if panfam wants an official gold star that says 'ok you forced us back to helms deep and did tons of damage to us, we agree' and it enables them declare victory and gently caress off so we get to kill test sooner rather than later, great

I think the big tall faction fort and the circle faction forts are the coolest. Maybe the one with all the little cranes in it too, that ones okay. The big brick one is dumb panfam can have all those.

The main problem with null is all the buildings look the same. Like who cares about another fortizar, it looks identical to the thousands of others. Why does each empire not have their own? All the NPC stations are different. You can’t even put skins on them. Pretty stupid if you ask me

I am truly surprised they never released skins for the various citadels. Feels like leaving money on the table.

Have some of their art nerds make skins for the major factions, plus a half dozen other random ones- people would surely spend money on that.

so how does it all work with that giant spam of forts in 1DQ on the same grid? other than providing dozens of safe spots for defenders at various angles, do they themselves provide substantial damage?

Citadels don't have overlapping fire, but any fighters going by would either have to pass by each one in turn (allowing for gunners to take shots at the fighters) or carefully weave between the gaps in the firing arcs (which would be "micro intensive" and make the fighters' journey take much longer.)

Many have said the same thing about player faction/corp/alliance logos on ships yet nothing.

Dudes we would love for more people to come to Lowsec. We had some great brawls when Gef deployed to Cloud Ring to fight us in Rakapas and Black Rise.

Just off the top of my head there’s Shadow Cartel (lol at their current iteration though), Dock Workers, 420 MLG whatever (baltroms crew), Rekking Krew (lmao help us kill their Camal keep please!) your favourite Snuff boys and the best poster, and others.

How good are keepstar weapons? Can they kill a significant amount of fighters and etc?

They're not too great. Keepstars have point defense systems (PDS), which lets them kill any short-range fighters easily, but you can counteract this by using long-range fighters. Their missiles can only target one flight at a time and using the doomsday on fighters is a waste. That being said, if hostiles are trying to Skynet their fighters in from 10,000km or more, any fortizar they don't explicitly fly their fighters around could potentially get zapped by the fort's PDS.
