Red Crown posted:The fiery, glorious war against BoB is essentially our superhero origin story movie that's so good you keep going back to it even though they made a sequel which was pretty good (Fountain) and a threequel which was mostly boring but had this one absolutely amazing scene (the Halloween war and B-R5). The war against BoB wasn't an origin story, goons literally won eve when they took delve/querious. BoB was the big, final boss, and after fighting for years goons managed to take all their nice stuff, which at the time was the best in eve. Besides the fountain war GSF also purged evZEROke from CR, smacked IT/Bob mk. II out of fountain/delve/querious (again), purged the north a while after the old NC had fallen, won the fountain war, and won the halloween war. GSF was non-stop wininng.

OAquinas posted:Well, to be fair after we beat the final boss we Rocky'd ourselves by letting Paulie handle the finances when we went to Russia and wound up broke and back on the streets of Syndicate. Then we built back up and started kicking rear end again, to finally knock out Big Bad mk II of IT. wasn't getting karttoon'd kind of a good thing? hadn't the leadership at that point let a lot of fundamental relationships atrophy, as well as not done anything for the better part of 6 months?

Magres posted:nah the problem is that i know eve just isnt the game for me - i love the high drama and the ruthlessness of the game, but the gameplay itself bores me to tears I think you kind of have to find your thing? I really was never that into fleet stuff (take fleetwarp and hit f1), but flying around in an interceptor and jumping people in lowsec was pretty killer

LemonDrizzle posted:Solo pvp is tremendously fun but has a pretty steep learning curve and can be very frustrating at times when things don't go your way; if you don't make the effort to get over the learning curve, the frustrations are almost guaranteed to overwhelm the positives. Combat can be very profitable if you choose your engagements carefully and minimise risk, although that tends to be a less fun way of playing the game in my opinion. Ratting is straight up dreadful but some other forms of pve can be mildly engaging. There are a lot of things you can potentially do, and since it's a sandbox game, you kind of have to define goals for yourself if you want to get much out of it. As a new player, your best bet will be to join a corporation that is geared towards newbies and can offer guidance and explain the game mechanics. Goonwaffe or Karmafleet would normally be a good choice, although they're in a sticky spot at the moment. Pandemic Horde, Eve University, Dreddit, and Brave Newbies are also good new player friendly corps, although if you join Horde or Dreddit you'll be at war with most goons who currently play. Solo pvp is about understanding a few game mechanics, but mostly about picking your fights. If you're good at choosing fights you'll win a lot more than you'll lose.

Tusen Takk posted:I'm going to kill this rifter with my BC this is one of the best battles I could choose yeah but in lowsec you generally have about 10 people per system max, and that's pushing it, if a few are from the same corp and are not docked up I'd suggest avoiding fights there are ok fights in FW plexes (usually some guys in t1 frigs farming them), and sometimes you'll get lucky and catch a cruiser belt ratting

Magres posted:is a cloaky blaster proteus still good for solo pvp and ganking people out in null? i always wanted to fly one when i played eve before, and the war has made me want to resub and accumulate sp in the hopes of one day having fun well kinda? It'll be less useful across the north where people tank against kin/therm for ratting, but if you want to afk cloak 23/7 you could probably end up with some kills probably not as effective as camping a pipe gate with a sabre

nessin posted:Is there a collected list of all the Citadel information that hasn't made it into a blog on the CCP side? Or has, but has been filtered down to actual information. Really curious, now that I've toyed with them on the test server, how much CCP expects them to cost and keep fueled (per service used) or what the final skill requirements look like. i think the different sizes have vastly different requirements and they're probably just like a wayyy better pos? if you're a smalltime alliance I could see you putting one up in NPC 0.0 or w/e and chilling

CommonShore posted:Making them regional would be the simplest solution. If each moon goo appeared only in a certain region, or 50% of a kind's supply came from one region and 50% in the entire rest of the galaxy, then it would be way more of a macro-conflict driver. this was kinda how it worked for the longest time? Delve/querious/pb had the best/most valuable moon balance in game for a long time (until 6 months after goons took delve, thanks ), and then technetium was heavily balanced around the north, which made certain entities super-rich

I have a focused carrier ratting alt I'm not using whatsoever currently and was highly considering just extracting to sell the goo; but in the interests of trying everything in eve once all this level 5 talk has got me interested you have a pretty high setup cost - 1 carrier per system usually, which is 3-7 carriers depending on where you are once you have that though, and standings of 7+, you're good to go; just watch out for the lowsec inhabitants who "own" these constellations and love probing out caps

you know for all this posturing about how great the cfc was, it leads me to think that it mustn't have been all that good if the change of 1 game mechanic (aegis sov) leads to the complete loss of the will to fight and the loss of most sov

Unfunny Poster posted:At the moment a majority of GoonSwarms former enemies (PL, NC., Darkness, etc.) have teamed up to attack the CFC/The Imperium (CFC's new name). They also brought along with them a bunch of Lowsec guys who also have an axe to grind, along with people like The OSS who are predominantly former GSF members from Black Omega Security. So far the CFC/Imperium have lost all but 1 region, Pure Blind, while staging out of Lowsec for the time being. There's been some tit for tat in Fade as the enemy of CFC/Imperium, called The Money Badger Coalition, has take all the regions previously held. That's the main war going on right now int he norther. Out in Drone Lands, Legion of Death have made peace with SOLAR Fleet and their two respective coalitions have teamed up to make the Drone Region Federation mostly making it so Drone Lands is a renter space. In the south & south east Stain Wagon have held sov for a little over a year now. The Southwest is a hodgepodge of stuff, Querious is a bit of a thunderdome but with the exception that everyone there has agreements not to attack sov structures of the other guys. Delve is sort of the same to a degree. Darius JOHNSON also returned, got the old GoonSwarm alliance back off Penif Smash and is doing his own thing with some Goons down in NPC Delve. In Fountain you have a bunch of Fountain Core guys who took sov and are doing their own thing mostly avoiding the war in the north. also an important thing is that eve is seeing a lot of returning/new people so all of space is now more active than it has been for the past 18months or so

Darium posted:Slicers can deff. be a pain if flown by someone with decent skills. PL guys still manage to lose 500mil+ garmurs to bubble camps and other dumb poo poo if you're smart enough to use dscan and sit inside a novice fw plex (t1 frig only) at about 25 off the warpin with a garmur you'll rack up kills like crazy though, unless someone shows up with a worm (or another garmur) at which point you just gently caress off IMO novice plexes are a great opportunity since the gating gives you enough time to get out, and the worst possible thing that will show up is a frig gang
