Is there a recommended overview pack right now?

Oh Takashawa has one that is a continuation of Sarah's Overview pack. In-game go to the chat channel "Sarashawa-Overview" and follow the info in the MOTD. It's pretty well done and is regularly update each patch/expansion CCP put out.

You can also join his mailing list "OVERVIEW4" (no quotations) and get an automated evemail each time he updates it.

Re: the whole "Grath is entosising" being the smoking gun lobbied about, it'd make sense if you ignored that he's been entosising since they were put on the live server to get fights and, because he's a strange old man, enjoys it. He's also notorious for hating being in the main PL blob. I do like the attempt at a narrative using what Grath's ship was, that's pretty funny.

Not really surprising. I expect most of our back end support guys to be doing a lot of overtime to keep the war engine humming.

Do they get any benefits for doing that? Like ISK payments or w/e or is it all for fun to them?

Bell_ posted:

Are timezones as big a deal as they were before with the SOV mechanics having changed so much?

Sort of. You can set your "able to be reinforced" time period to any timezone you want, so most people try to put it during their peak time for optimum defense. You can also dick around with it to throw people off for a few hours like Horde did in Cloud Ring when they reset it from a late EU/early US time period to AUTZ, which meant the big invasion fleet that was formed up expecting the older timezone period to be active had to find something else to do til they could start reinforcing later into the night.

Is it true that Fozzie was in PL or have I just been spreading lies? And if true then what does that say about fozzie sov?

When he was playing he was known as Raivi and was, at the time, a big part of PL's AT team. If I recall, he also was one of the active programmers on The Sphere program we still use pretty regularly when in war mode. That said, I can't confirm nor deny what you're saying about how he made the entire new sov system to benefit PL since we're at war and all. Maybe when it's over I talk you through it, but you seem to be drawing your own conclusions at the moment which is OK.

Well I don't know much about Fozzie's game experience other than what I've heard about him being in PL at some point in time. I think it's at least somewhat suspicious or funny because of his history.

I have no idea what The Sphere is, but from what I could tell from a few quick google searches it's a fitting tool?

If you're suspicious of Fozzie's past in playing with PL and then being hired by CCP, then you should be equally suspicious of the ex-members of Goons ending up doing the same thing. You should also be incredibly suspicious of the TEST guy CCP hired to manage the CSM since he could have lied to them to benefit TEST in-game :tinfoil:

I believe the gist of it was: you didnt show up in local. This dude Monkeysphere was notorious for murdering tons of shitfit carebears and ratters and they developed a legend that he was using hacks or software called: The Sphere, PL has been stoking the fires and feeding that troll ever since.

The best part was when Hydra got caught cheating in the AT and used The Sphere troll, which they thought was real, as rationale for hacking the test server & matchfixing. Ultimately CCP found out, and decided that the two Hydra teams (who finished 1st & 2nd) would be given DQs and that gave PL 1st place in the tournament. The Sphere is real.

-Showed a picture of an Avatar with the Blood Raider skin.
-Capitals not "required" per se, but the content is designed with capitals in mind.

Also talked about a new "burner drifter" super ship that has new AI. Apparently when you fight it, it may decide to warp off unless you point it. If it escapes, it is not tied to the site you found it in like most NPC AI. It will actually sit in space and remain there for you to scan it down and re-engage. If you do not within an undetermined amount of time, it will recruit other sleeper forces to make the encounter harder. Eventually the sleeper force might even attempt to drop on players in the system.

It's an in-game thing CCP are doing with some real world science groups to help map/identify types of genomes or something along those lines. Basically it's Citizen Science made into a game, where you get Sisters of EVE Loyalty Points for it as well as a paltry amount of ISK doing so while being bored on a gate camp, sitting in a station or whatever.
