I did consider that aspect, but couldn't see a neat way pithily to explain that.

Vis a vis the closing the other thread argument, this one with the whole relaxed, non-angry vibe is probably far less likely to put people off joining GSF so it might be a blessing.

But of course, close the other thread and the unrelaxed angry crowd from the other thread will come to this one

speaking of non sequiteurs



I got a gear VR last night. It's pretty cool and makes me want a Rift that much more. Gunjack is fun, but probably not worth $12. It's cool to shoot a Daredevil though.


Downsides: I only have a Galaxy s6 so there's some major screen door effect going on. The phone overheats occasionally, but apparently there's a way to fix that.

Range, frequency or making it super expensive (which they actually tried before fatigue by tweaking isotope prices) was always part of the discussion.

No I mean he wrote a blog on it and had an idea that was a pretty close analogue to jump fatigue itself.

It was a while ago though so my memory is fuzzy

I had the best of both worlds because I watched the stream all day at work then got to jump into it when they called for a Dominix fleet around midnight EST to neut out and finish the last 10 avatars.

I was in my dread but too far away to whore on Shrike. I was upset about it.

Regardless, it was incredibly cool to be part of that whole huge thing. It probably ranks among the coolest things I've ever done in EVE. Honestly, the whole Halloween war was just insanely friggin cool in retrospective. At the time it was boring as heck though :v:

Hopefully when TMDC does their next book kickstarter, the KS and book are successful enough that they can do a halloween war movie, because if -anything- deserves to be made into something for delivery to the masses, it's that.

when the finally switched to titans going for one that would obviously be supertanked

Actually that was a fuckup due to spy/server issues, rather than target picking. Sort Dragon had a sort of proto-DC iirc, where he thought he'd DC'ed (and so all of his hardeners etc would be off, making him by far the easiest target on the battlefield), but his session stayed alive, so all his modules stayed on, so he ate about a billion doomsdays while we picked up ~7-12 more titan kills.

I'm not Endie, but hey ChickenWing how are you? I am taking what I learnt in the right honorable Top Goon and teaching some of the interested Horde dudes about it. They love bombing runs and honestly I couldn't be happier they get a war to be a part of instead of reading. Also my dumb video explaining the war is at 25k views on YouTube, which is abnormal for my EVE videos.

Also Saturday marks the 1 year anniversary of Horde being founded so that should be fun.

Hi HendrUba TallarStij

You know what's funny? I don't think I ever actually launched a bomb while in topgoon. Glad you're having fun with it though, gotta teach those newbies how to accidentally pres butan and see who's not fast enough on the mwd off button.

Next teach them dictors and indirectly how to "accidentally" bubble their own fleets :sun:

The only thing i remember about Top Goon was that something went wrong during the Fountain War and TheAdj blamed us for it and demanded a complete overhaul of everything.

That's probably about the last important thing that ever happened to us, yep.

So from what I'm reading, goons lost their territory because they failed to adapt to mechanics changes, again. Not as funny as when they forgot to pay the power bill.

Are you reading reddit? Goons lost territory because holy god we have too much loving space, and every space personality with a rifter and a grudge has come to grind their way to Deklein.

Basically we just have to hold them until they realize how much they really hate each other, then they'll all splinter off into their respective factions again and we can surge back out to full turgidness.

Pretty much.

The blame they're putting on the lone dev who posted the new mechanics' dev blog is pretty funny though.

Here's the spin: We outfoxed the rest of eve today and publicly ruined them when they were at their most smug, and they deserve every bit of mockery that will be headed their way for the next three years as we prosecute the largest grudgefuck since July 2006 against anyone who's been dumb enough to come at us today.

It's not like brutal campaigns of vengeance against impossible odds are what we're infamous for or anything. I'm sure ya'll will be fine.

I suppose smartbombs already do the same thing as a flak cannon would, and better. Area damage in a sphere.

this but call it Point Defense and give it bitchin particle effects (like how autocannons look in CCP's trailers, but shooting EVERYWHERE).

Don't use point defense with missile doctrines.

scandoslav posted:

I dunno, could the servers handle every ship checking the target status of every ship within range every tick?* Could they handle every ship checking for bombs within range every tick? It'd be hella neat to be able to track a bomb over a couple of ticks to see if it's headed in the direction of you or yours, but I don't think it's possible at fleet/battle scale.

Maybe the new AOE mechanics could make it work? :shrug:


*e: if they could do that it could make for some really neat logi indicators (things flashing on watchlists or w/e)

the server technically already tracks this, it'd be a fairly trivial addition. Firewalls already pretty much accomplish the same thing, just at a smaller scale.
