fcon and sma have been part of why gsf was so powerful for so many years, regardless of what you think of them, and part and parcel of doing what's best for gsf has been treating allies well and working in their interests as well

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I will do so! It would be good to have some helpful advice.



How do you look up systems? Is it a safe kind of system?

By pressing F10 and clicking on the relevant option, at least it works this way for me. Alternatively, use DOTLAN, a website with nice map-options.

And every system not having a real name is deeply unsafe. Except for some special snowflake systems who have names, but are still unsafe.

Is that too high? I don't even know what is right. I had it at 1% but I'm not really sure what to make it.

EDIT: I made it 0.5! :D

The tax rate is thus: when you and Rock get hassled by them Gurmistas in the asteroid belts and you shoot or your drones kill one- you get paid a bounty that magically appears in your wallet.

5, 10, 15% or whatever your corporation tax rate is set to magically gets deducted from that bounty and sent to your corporation wallet. For reference: the current tax rate for GoonWaffe which is the flagship corporation for Goonswarm Federation is 15% and has been since I started playing in 2011.

I think it's some combination of a few things:

1) Pearl clutching at CCP showing some form of favoritism, however significant or insignificant it might be.
2) CCP doing something which numerous people tried to do for years and said would never be done.
3) CCP not bothering to consider the ramifications and response of their actions.
4) CCP's weird relationship with the player base of the game.

E: I would tag my guys sec status up to fight for VideoGames SA and Rock Venture Mining Chill Corp.

Oh hey as an aside from the yelling, did Fallout 4 have any SA/GSF references?

I don't think so? New Vegas had SA references in it because the lead designer at Obsidian is a goon (rope kid) - and he used the best references (Zyborne Clock). To my knowledge, the Lead Designer of Fallout 4 at Bethesda is not a goon and as such would not know the references to place them in the game.

If I ever made a mod for Fallout: NV you can be sure that I'd put something dumb in the game like a living protectron at the top of a staircase while there's a random dead body at the bottom of said staircase.

With regards to THE NAME, CCP Falcon being the ultimate arbiter of who has the best 'claim' is kind of a crock of poo poo, though. Up until this point, they entertained approximately zero claims - it's not like they kept a running list of claims and tracked who is the One True Goon who would receive the name. In addition, it's not like they said "we are holding this name in perpetuity until the One True Goon by the name of DARIUS Johnson comes to claim it". This was basically a very poorly executed favor to DJ for being a CCP employee, not because he had the best 'claim'.

Systems with a jumble of letters and numbers for a name are always null security space (0.0), which is about as unsafe as it gets. The rats in the belts are much harder to kill than in highsec and other players are free to shoot you with no repercussions, in fact its highly encouraged! S-U8A4 in specific is system in syndicate (an NPC Nullsec region) that is notable for being the only place in syndicate that fancy ores will spawn and has a chance (as utterly insignificant as it is) of spawning an officer rat! Its also the ancestral home of all goons in EVE and therefore is significant for ~reasons~. :eng101:
Groon does still live in syndicate and has friends in the systems leading up to the system if you ever did want to visit it though. They might also just shoot you because... well its goons in spaceships, would it surprise you?

Back when I was a newbie and had a weird fascination with the Stabber hull, I named all my Stabbers "HEEERE'S FRANKIE!"

As for the Goonfleet hubbub, I'm a relatively recent Goon, so I don't really give a gently caress, but I understand why people give a gently caress. I think it's just another example of CCP devs wanting to be BFFs with their user base, thinking with their gut instead of their head, and briefly forgetting that nearly any action by one's gut will inevitably result in a bit of poop somewhere. It's a particularly common failure mode for CCP devs who were hired from the player base, too.

lol if goonfleet can be transferred to some guy who hasn't been in it for 6 years but The Conference Elite (code.

Hey also i'm not sure if anyone has noticed (this same problem happening to them) but I went through a bunch of my old petitions and GM Lelouch deleted the vast majority of responses from himself and other GMs. A lot of these things were me asking if a certain game mechanic was an exploit or not, so I'm wondering if I should re-petition these things or just let it slide?

He trolled both the Broadcast4Reps and Anti-Ganking channels ingame. He kept making fun of the eve player who committed a murder-suicide in front of the community the guy played with, and said anti-gankers are prone to murder-suicides because of that guy.

p hosed up imo, but i think he wanted to get banned so he just kept going deeper and deeper until he got what he wanted.

absolutely no chance in hell of a reversal at all. he is superpermabanned much harder than stunt flores. He was permabanned so hard one of his friends who had nothing to do with the ban reason was banned because of a 80b+ transfer of isk. He has received 0 response from CCP as well.
