STATE OF THE GOONION
FRIDAY 17:00 EVE
~BE THERE~



At last: we have backstabbers to eviscerate, shitlords smugging about our 'imminent demise', and a whole galaxy of wretches who somehow think that this time will be different and Goonswarm will surely go down in flames. They didn't plan for us to be here after their M-O supercap trap failed; we're supposed to be broken and quitting in shame, rather than fueled once more by the return of our favorite emotions: hate and vengeance. The hard fact is that Eve hasn't had a grudgefuck war in years, and that's because we murderzoned the very people who provoked us so badly they were erased. The Great War ended, time moved on, the galaxy forgot and came to think of GSF as being kinder and gentler than before - now they think it's safe to howl 'there are no goons'.

That worked out so well for them last time.

:siren: Be ready in Saranen with Yachts/Speedboats/Caracals/FYF as early as 16:30, we've got poo poo to do and skulls to collect. :siren:

Dear traitors and bads, we're terribly sorry about the failure of your grand backstab: we're going to spend the next few years tearing each and every one of you to shreds in memory of this bout of hubris. But first, we're going to take your momentum away, your fun away, your pride away, and remind you why inevitably you always fail against us - because we are the meanest, most vicious motherfuckers in the history of this internet spaceship sandbox, and we're only getting nastier with age.

Jay Amazingness seems to be the only person who "gets it". I was on a swordfleet op with him for 3 hours, and we popped 6 entosis mallers and jammed 4 archons. Over the same time period boat lost 3 entire fleets because he thought dogfighting scram equipped, close range interceptors with Sa Matra Specials was a good idea.

You can fight interceptors with Sword Fleet if you want, but the proper way to do so is to align out, headshot progod, and throw the deuces (and/or the skink). Thus far, I'm 2-0 for headshotting peggles in fleets where I've encountered him this war. But to be fair, I've also managed to welp 2 fleets to bombs, so my entire existence might just be a statistical anomaly. :shrug:

That's not really what I was trying to say at all- more that people in non-SRP'd fleets actually do things like pay attention, follow simple instruction, etc. and often shy away from things like... overheating your MWD Scimitar directly into the enemy for SRP payouts.

I wouldn't call this competency, I'd call it 'focus' (I guess?)

So what is the alternative in your mind?

Oh geeze guys I really need to go right now because my dog is pissing directly on the child I've been neglecting all day to play this spaceship game but I dare not just walk away from the computer and let this spaceship die because REIMBURSEMENT IS NOT A THING and the knowledge of that keeps me shackled to this desk and pissing into an overflowing cheetos bag.

I'm actually kind of curious how other Alliances (non-Imperium) work? My total experience with Eve revolves around years of skill queue online in high sec doing missions and mining before joining Goonswarm and I used an alt to have a brief stint with Brave when they were just getting big and tried out a FW corp. I know there are some things which are just universal, like Jump Freighter service of some sort. But how much of life in Deklien similar to life in other 0.0 areas? Are jump bridge networks common? Is it common to find high Industrial/Combat levels? Do other regions get hit with roamers or solo hunters on a multiple times a day basis? I have to imagine a third party VOIP option is common, but what about assembling fleets or announcements? Is an IM service common or is it more common to see things done in-game? Does anything like the FC system in the Imperium exist elsewhere?

Man I could go on and on. I should probably just find some completely neutral parties and try one out.

Edit:
Actually I think what I'm curious about most is how it affects the quality of the player. I'm pretty sure I'm a super poo poo Eve player and if I tried to fly in anything under a 50-man "gang" I'd be worse than useless, but then again I'm a perfectly happy cog in the machine type of person.

Back when I first picked up this game in like 2008 or something I did a brief stint in a lowsec ~pirate~ corp that was also enrolled in faction warfare. The corp was small, and basically the CEO was our FC is ever we got together in a fleet together. There was no comms, just typed names in fleet chat to shoot. This was a gang of like 5 people at the most, and we were in small poo poo like t1 cruisers. It was pretty much the same in the 20-50 man fw fleets that I would sometimes join: it was just sort of assumed that everyone did whatever the purpose of their ship was, while at the time I really wanted to whore on killmails so I flew a griffin with a small smartbomb and jammed every enemy while shooting every friendly and either no one noticed or no one cared and in either respect no one ever yelled at me about it because there was no comms.

A simpler time. :sun:

People can exist without SRP, sure. However, you'll lose out on a lot of the people who can't afford to be losing doctrine ships on the regular. Anyone with less time to play, smaller income streams, no desire to do things that aren't shooting space mans is eventually going to get shafted. PL doesn't have this problem because they're all stupid rich. Lowsec voltron doesn';t have this problem because they're rolling in the level 5 cash. Groups with large amounts of newbies or weekend warriors very much DO have this problem because when they lose their 300m doctrine whatever, they're going to have to go home and rat (meaning they're not in fleet), or just not play because they don't want to rat (meaning they're not in fleet). So to your hordes, braves, tests, goons, et cetera, SRP is a serious strategic advantage.

I am not the only unskilled workhorse whose contributions to the Imperium War Machine are implicitly contingent upon receiving the government dole. gently caress if I'm going to grind up 1.1b ISK per plex ratting while also sieging all day erryday and attending to my offline life. From line members to the mid-tier FCs and various other positions, lots of folks fit the vague description of someone useful enough to the continued existence of The Right-Honourable Goonswarm Federation of Space Planets (in Space) that it's worth paying out what amounts to a drop in the ocean to keep them showing up and marching in lockstep to keep the machine working.
