This really shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the forces arrayed against the CFC.
To quote powers:
"They are chasing the next good fight. Chasing killboard stats. Their leadership's decision making process and future planning revolves around the next 1-3 weeks, not the next 6-9 months. They don't care who they play with as long as they are getting dank kills."

This is kind of an exaggeration, the ADM's were nowhere near as bad as what Horde had left Fade with after their extensive cloaky camping.

This is a really strange thing to say, as supers are still retained as the ultimate counter to a blob of dreads or slowcats, which are not an illogical escalation to a grid full of BS, which was present.

Anyone who'd bothered to take part in the Entosis testing on SISI would know that triage carriers are the ulitmate entosis boat for a hot system, regardless of the higher spool-up time.

I think Grath would sooner hang himself than be another F1 part of the blob, when he could be running around in a Vaga or Vargur, bringing-solo-back.

Blood in the water and all that, what did you honestly expect from a hint of collapse for the CFC?

People go where the fight is; there is no over-arching command structure for the dozens of alliances involved in this, so how would one force them to not show up for frags?

See the above post about supers still being cap-counters, and why would it be risky when the Allies had complete subcap dominance?

Why would our super fleet be logged in and waiting if it was a trap? Why would you be stupid enough to jump supers into what you admitted was a total shitshow? Why in the world do you imagine PL would actually rely on C02 of all people to successfully execute a trap like that? Hell, you say that supers are useless for entosis fights, yet you insinuate that the CFC might have jumped in supers were it not an obvious trap?
You were definitely fortunate to evacuate your supers from Vale without incident (except that titan RIP), but why bother turning some good luck into, frankly, sheer paranoia?

The irony of this last bit, considering DJ is opposed to the CFC in it's current form, should not be lost.

Get into gas huffing! Train probe scanning/exploration skills, and then take your little venture buddy into wormholes and harvest from gas clouds! It seems to me like it's the apex version of all of the things you're enjoying about the game so far.

Pretty much this. James did a writeup at the time here, with quotes of some of the r/eve posting at the time, and it's mighty gross:

http://www.minerbumping.com/2013/06/too-hot-for-themittanicom-mintchip.html

Truth be told, I'm almost more bothered by "she wasn't a real gamer, she was just getting carried by pros" complaints than the usual "show me yr tits" poo poo. Nobody benefits from the existence of some kind of referee or scoreboard to determine who is and isn't a "real gamer." Do you log into Steam and play a video game and not act like an rear end while you do it? You're cool.

This was why I was a bit disturbed by the incident that led up to the glorious MRA trolling. I'm so pleased that it ended the way that it did.

I have no idea how FCON can complain about having stuff trapped in their space.

I ran a literal freighter armada through their space six times and picked up every single outstanding contract from every single station they had. Including two trips though Tenal.

The last freighter fleet that went through Branch returned half empty. And this was with three days notice.

And this is why "gently caress FCON" is more or less a meme.

Everything you're coalition is doing, literally every single loving thing is something the Imperium has chastised other groups for doing in previous wars.

You have years of Dek money in a war chest and you don't just want to go out and shoot mans? I don't understand. For all the blurf about 'the best doctrines, the best ships, the best FCs' how is any of that a reality if you have all these toys that you just won't use?

Are you really saying TEST had more of a commitment to their space than the Imperium, who held the galactic north for almost 6 years? I mean enjoy your ~wulfpax~ I guess, totally hating killing 200 bombers with 40 sleipnirs. Hating it.

What these posts boil down to is simply "the people I used to play with aren't doing stuff anymore, therefore there is nothing to do.".

You guys can move your goal posts all day long, but it all comes down to the fact there's plenty to do, and has been for quite a while.

Topgoon largely died not due to the FC thing but due to the fact that we weren't allowed to go and do what we were good at doing because every region had restrictions or nobody in it. There were things to do, but we weren't allowed to do them. I used to run shitloads of fleets but I stopped once we were told to stay out of Providence.

You're dudes don't fly without SRP, so regardless as to what you ' think you're losing money, at a staggering rate, anyway.

You're losing space and money moons at about the same rate.

If you don't know the long term effect of these two thing, consult you're TEST losing Delve campaign pamphlet.

See above.

The situation between getting pinched in a system, between a fleet we didn't care about and a fleet that would zonk us if the first fleet slowed us down- and waiting it out 8 whole minutes before 'weaponized boredom' said "gently caress this" and went home

and

"we're spending billions and billions of space sheckels reimbursing a completely ineffective doctrine while bleeding the very source of our income" are worlds apart.

How's that bit about reddit censorship from a few days ago?

Sorry you don't like the truth and things that are true.

This, but unironically.

What the gently caress are you talking about? You're literally the circle jerk in this thread. All that happens here is that interchangable fuckwads like you come in and say stupid poo poo and get shouted down.

Do these freighter services just stay neutral to everyone and hope no one blows them up when they jump into a lowsec/nulsec system? I also assume there is a minimum volume/value you have to order to make it worth their time to transport stuff for you?

There are safe methods involving alt pilots and jump freighters (as opposed to regular freighters). To catch a jump freighter really requires pilot error.

And the way it works is you just make your contract according to the pricing in the thread. Someone will ship a freighter full of contracts when enough contracts have accumulated to fill a cargo hold - a lot like real shipping!

And that setup depends on the JF pilot not noticing the trap and acting appropriately in time. If you keep an exit cyno ready to go, look at local before decloaking at the gate, and make sure that your cynos are well placed on stations, you should never die.

I was once accused of being a spy and thoroughly investigated (and exonerated) and I didn't find out about it until Kincaid told me a year later. Either counter intel's savagery is vastly overstated, or Digi buys the really expensive lube.

Regarding that mission blitzing guide, why does it recommend 9-10 different ships? Is each ship well suited for a particular mission? Starting out can I just use a Mach on everything (aside from burners of course) even if its less efficient?

Yeah all of the super specific and weird frigate fits are tailored to the individual missions. That no-prop cap-injected deadspace repping wolf? It's for fighting the blood raiders burner which loving zonks your cap every 10 seconds.
