So get the Emperor to give a speech to rally the troops. Write him a piece where he compares high-sec dwellers to furries and how the decrepit Quafe addicts have now slipped into null-sec through Providence. Only the Imperium can stand against the pubbie plague and safeguard our way of life. Honestly though I'm pretty excited for Providence. I haven't shot at CVA since I was in UK.

mpaarating posted:So Mittani took some time to explain to my ~slowbrain~ why I was headshot. All of my edgy shitposting and true goon comedy was totally indicative of someone ready to go fuckgoons. From that perspective, I can totally see it and frankly do not blame them at all for doing it. In my little posting world, I had just been seeing stuff as isolated posts where as the directorate was seeing the story of JOKINE: REVENGE OF ORDO GARR. Jokine gazed up at the enormous face. Forty hours it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the ginger soul patch. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved The Mittani.

Right now they've transformed mostly into a shitload of ISK I plan to multiply by buying Genolution-implants and slowly selling them as soon as their price hits something like 2-3 billion ISK. (Because after a certain point, CCP will just throw out more of them, so they're somewhat volatile if held on to for too long.) The SKINs itself, at least the permanent ones, are worth their money because even if they're expensive, they can not be lost like ever. I made sure to use SKINs I liked instead of selling them, so now my FW-alt can explode in blue Punishers all day long and if I want to, my main can go out to die in black Thoraxes and white Stabbers, too!  Just by selling the multiples of those skins and some I had lying around and forgotten about, I got 2,3 billion ISK at the end, which together with the extra-profit I made by building a couple dozen Confessors with pre-patch material requirements, gives me enough money to stockpile a dozen implants and still have enough left to do whatever I want. So yeah, regardless how you look at it, skins are worth it both if you have a lot of them and want to make mad money, and just to make your ships prettier.

I'm split between saving the implants for a Leviathan or to sell them later on. I do have 11 accounts at the moment so I should have a lot of them. The issue I have with buying a Titan is that if I miss the move op I'll be stranded in some backwater system until some Titan hunter gets me. The only reason I got my Carrier out of Sakht was that someone else moved it for me during one of the two Saturday evening windows. Had it been a Titan then I would have been out of luck.

NyxBiker posted:Are they worth it using them and occupying their slots in PvP/PvE? The Genolution implants are basically eight almost-5% Hardwirings in four slots that you cannot otherwise put ship enhancing implants in without splashing down the cash for Pirate implants. Those bonuses are also pretty generalized - it's PG, CPU, Agility, Velocity, Armor HP, Shield HP, Cap size and cap recharge - so you're not confined to a single ship (or type of ship, anyway) like you are with pirate implants. They also open up some otherwise impossible fits , such as a Harbinger with T2 Heavy Pulses, a 1600mm plate and an MWD. 6% CPU over and 5% grid, and since CPU and grid hardwirings are the same slot you couldn't do it. Plug in Genolutions and swap the DC II out for an IFFA, though, and it fits. Namamai's Slicer friend up there could, with an additional CPU implant, up-gun to T2 Small Focused Beam Lasers and fit a neut for good measure if he wanted. No idea if that'd be good, but Namamai himself could upgrade his Atrons to use Neutron Blasters instead of Ion Blasters (not to mention run one of the tackle mods as Tech II for a little extra capability). Just a few examples, I'm sure there are more, because being able to get an extra 5% CPU *and* grid breaks a lot of fitting rules.

If we're at the "Holy poo poo we really shouldn't put too much pressure on any one place because our combined mass would probably kill that part of the game forever" stage can I suggest a highsec incursion interdiction? I'm pretty sure that would result in the loudest squealing of pubbies in years.

Numismancer posted:Regarding the H1Z1 stuff, we're going multiplatform because we need to do so to recruit and survive, it's kind of like when we first rammed through the 'alien and ungoony' reimbursement program. Future attacks on other games will be a lot more casual and less new/scary because it's now just a Thing We Do. That's why you saw all the posts from every coalition leader in the Imperium loudly supporting it. I'm pretty excited about this because I would like to play other games with the same space friends when I need to take a break from EVE.

They're tough, but not impossible, to catch and have the potential for resulting in fleets wiping. I want to murder them for a couple of months. Persistently. Murder the boosters, kill a couple of whatever is shiniest in the fleet and then steal the mothership kill. I know it would be a net loss in terms of cost to actually achieve it (and would take a huge amount of people since you'd need to alpha stuff off the field), but I really don't like the way those fleets can earn those levels of income in highsec with almost 100% immunity from any consequences once they are all on the same grid. edit: I really wish that attempt to smartbomb that incursion fleet had worked.

In particular as other people said the dual cpu/grid boost is broken good. There are other implant sets that can be better, like a full high-grade pirate set with a ship built to take advantage of it. But those can easily cost a billion or two and they're specialized. The genos set is good for pretty much anything.

That's exactly what we're doing, except that we're bulking up our valued allies instead of resetting them -- because they're allies, not pets or renters. -Troika- posted:I was a little interested in this H1Z1 thing until I saw that people are expected to let DBRB run poo poo. gently caress that, he's annoying enough for just one game. He's the head of a single server; you're welcome to do other servers. Rydis is skymarshaling this, so ask her, and she'll tell you where to go.  Reagalan is generally a good time, when he's not getting our entire base blown up. (DBRB is kinda fun in H1Z1, though, because it's not like you lose a ton of poo poo if you die, and you're not really stranded if you log off in the middle of nowhere. He's good for "hay guys I've got five IEDs build, let's go raid some pubbie base and steal their poo poo.")

Numismancer posted:Your first paragraph is spot on. Also, we've found that corps who have people who play other games together as a group of friends have superior retention, participation, and loyalty to the community, so we want to not only recruit from other games - we want to get our guys used to playing other games together in an organized way. Stronger identity and group bonding is the only thing defending the Space Empire (tm) when there's a VFK Invasion situation. Thank you.

I only wish they had a kill board, so the pubbies could be worried about it. I chased two guys through two sections of the map completely naked shouting at them that I was friendly and they needed to wait up for me. Finally they turned around and I let loose with Thunder and Lightning while they shot at me with terrible aim telling me that I was ruining the game. I died of course and got tea bagged, but those are the sacrifices one makes in a game like H1Z1 (now with goons!).

Honestly, and this sounds dumb as gently caress, it's just raw curiosity about emergence in complex adaptive systems. People's reasons to maintain coalitions seem varied and fluid, and it's interesting to see how they change along with revisions to the game's mechanics. I think that the evolution of the Northern Coalition (no dot) has been totally fascinating, and I'm curious to see how a unipolar nullsec plays out in Fozziesov. I think that talking about the greater political scene in eve is interesting, but we can go back to discussing the merits of sauce and hilariously situational genolution fits.

It's particularly interesting from the perspective of CCP meddling in it -- i.e. how the Grayscale anomaly nerfs set the stage for rental alliances. I repeat my previous assertion that sauce vin blanc is the best of the French classic sauces. Genolutions make it possible to build a six-link off grid Tengu booster. Lie down. Try not to cry. Cry a lot.
