So what's the likelyhood of an actual fight for vfk tomorrow?

Hard to say. They have the isk motivation to try. VFK is also a major moral target. If they brought full numbers then they could. But the trip would be a long one and there would be no options to reshipp or to switch doctrines for a hard counter.

I found the only interesting part



Talk about full circle.

Black Legion fought on the Imperiums side in the Halloween war. Then they got into a fight with CO2** Which was when the Imperium went back home for "couch cleaning" to save CO2 from black legion





** I had some acquaintances in Black Legion at the time. The way they explained it was that the Imperium and Black Legion were only blue during fights but otherwise neutral. At the same time they had agreements not to drop on one another (though skirmishes could still happen) The problem was that CO2 would regularly drop on Black Legion fleets. But when Black Legion retaliated they were then chastised by the coalition. This would in turn hurt their reputation and so it became a matter of e-honour to "push CO2s poo poo in" This was followed by a speech that while working with the Imperium was profitable; Black Legion would rather be poor and have fights.

From what I understand all of this is exasperated by Elo being unreliable. Granted Eve is a game full of bastards and people change sides a lot. But with entities like PL or the Russians you can make agreements. And at the very highest levels word is law. But Elo like Sort Dragon can't be relied upon on that level.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

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.

Stream ended. Here's a link to the full past broadcast: https://www.twitch.tv/ccp/v/57827045 New PvE content discussion begins around 57:20. Hilarious DBRB interview was the segment before that.


CCP are going to screw this up and then the node crashes after the system filled up with ten thousand drifters.

And it's obviously post-Heresy, so if we're the Imperium, then Mittens is already dead and entombed in a yellow office chair or something.

Can we please get a marketing guy on this.

It's post heresy and It's Darius Johnson in the golden throne as he was gravely wounded in the great war and entombed inside the golden throne. Mittens represents the Highlords of Terra and they enact Johnsons will across the Imperium.

Dadbuck posted:

DJ doesn't even like Mittani, and considering the loss of goon talent recently, I can see why.

The DJ clique never got along with the Mittani clique, and let's face it, Mittani tries to write himself into everything.

Turns out that was just an imposter pretending to be DJ.


The real DJ perished during the great war. Unbeknownst to everyone. With the help of CCP BoB had built 40 Titans inside a wormhole. This fleet was unleashed near the end of the war. Poised for victory the fleet approached Goon battle lines by passing through a secret wormhole network. Darius was alerted to this. Knowing that the knowledge of such a force would demoralize the rest of Goonfleet, he took a small rifter fleet of his most trusted lieutenants and went into wormhole space to face the BoB Titans. The fighting was viscous and DJ was seen to destroy five Titans single-handedly before taking a glancing hit from a Doomsday weapon. Ejecting from his rifter, DJ used his pod to crash the exit wormhole. Making it go critical and trapping the remaining BoB Titans in wormhole space forever. His pod however exploded as the wormhole sealed. His frozen corpse was recovered and taken back home to be interned into the golden throne. Now the throne rests in the undercroft of VFK. Our enemies suspect this and they know that DJs frozen corpse is the key to recovering the lost Titan fleet that they need to win this war.

One of his last edicts before he crashed his pod was the formation of hole squad. To serve as the eternal guardians of goonkind. Their destined task was to search out and close wormholes that lead to the trapped BoB Titan fleet. Making sure that these Titans remain sealed inside wormhole space forever.

Those are good odds.

Kind of a repost, throwing it out again: I have a carrier docked in a station in what was either LV or BoB space, way down at the SE corner of the map. I understand that jump drives are different now. Do I have any chance of getting it to current goonspace? I'm not asking for anything special or protected, no opsec, I'm just curious about general mechanics changes and the general distance involved.

PM me the location and I'll look at the maps.

why don't your armor supes fit for travel?

Because travel modules go in the low slot which is where armour ships have their tank.

So the shield ships can fit max tank and travel but armour ships have to choose. This means that the armour ships choose tank in case we get attacked.

As long as everyone is travel fit there is zero chance of anyone dying before you can turn around and save them. Honestly if you didn't move so slow because everyone is tank fit, maybe you'd have less supers getting bumped or tackled. :shrug:

Who knows. I'm not going to speculate on what ifs. Talk to Tib or Mostly if you have input. If the fleet is already going at tank fit pace then I am keeping the tank on as well.

you can also be in multiple guilds at once and choose which tag you wear, and there's a small goon guild with the same tag (WPAK) as one of the main furry guilds in gw2 and some of us switch to wearing that tag when we pull the bomb guys while people wearing tags for the main goon guilds scream in local about how those goddamned WPAK trolls are at it again
