According to the article we're moving towards our largest conflict in history. I'm sure there will be at least one metric to support that idea. Gate jumps and entosis life minutes wasted maybe.

What's the easiest way to save a super or titan that hasn't been subbed in a long time and is definitely not in friendly space? GM moving it appears to not be an option

https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en...c243cdd547c1117

I would keep bugging them about it while citing valid reasons that are in your way to becoming a returning player.

There are modules that will disallow warping let alone jumping, like too many fighters in your drone bay after fighter volume was increased. Maybe you have a module that breaks the current limit of slots (High, Mid, Low) or perhaps your fitting limits are exceeded (CPU, Powergrid).

Someone more familiar with the changes over the past few years would know more about what grounds you would have to ask for a capital move. You know, changes that would make you a sitting loving duck if you logged in.

There are hard and fast rules like that one in customer support but if they want you to play it's just a reasonable expectation that had you remained subbed you would have moved with your friends. And right now they're really open to the idea of resubscriptions.

What I've done is made a list of reasons to ask for what I wanted in my petition (in my case it was a Nightmare reimbursement after accidental PVP and Concord). They will try to deny you your petition but each time respond with a new reason from your list, and explain yourself.

Ask to be moved to Saranen initially, then give them hell until solving your problem causes them less of a headache than their dumb rules.

The category you want is "Stuck Character"

When they finally move you, don't log in until you get a hold of someone.

With reduced jump range changes, a whole poo poo ton of module and fitting fuckery, and simply being completely stranded in general after being away for so long, it's not unreasonable to expect a move. If you were currently playing and accidentally rolled yourself out of your wormhole in a carrier, then it makes sense for them to be hard-nosed about it.

edit: I don't know where our caps are, actually. It might not be Saranen.

loving words, gently caress

Try asking to be moved into a station with your super so that you can apply to a corporation. If said corporation is Goonwaffe that's an added bonus since they want you to die for publicity in this war.

It's not pretty and the ship model clips, but supers can be reimbursed to a station.

Ask them how you would go about applying to a corporation in your super right now, and it will bring up all the right questions when they try to help you.

edit: I'm dumb, that's probably not going to happen since putting a super inside a station would allow you to put it on market or contracts.

given publishing fees, cover art costs (the artist who does the cover art for one of my favorite author's books gets paid somewhere in the five figure range per book cover - good cover art is not cheap), paying the author, and taking care of backer rewards, 150k for a book isn't even close to unreasonable

the fact that someone did one for like 20k doesn't make the 150k unreasonable, it just means the person who did it for 20k did it as a side project to their actual life and more or less did it for free

let your favorite author know they can find some real gems among furry artists on deviantart who will do a fancy cover for five figures including two decimal places.

Update on our continuing invalidation of entosis ships using frigates: We're up to Archons now.

The only thing this leaves is supercapitals for entosis duty.

The single most notable characteristic of the Entosis module is isolation from remote assistance, and capitals incur a 5x penalty to entosis module cycle time. For T1 entosis cycles that means 25 minutes of isolation per cycle. For T2 it's 10 minutes.

As long as that's true, sov can be defended unironically with WOLFPAX that will snipe the entosis ship out from under the noses of fleet support. "Wolfpacks," by the way, are a propagandized symbol of an alliance's downfall, which originated in a list of fail cascade signs penned by the mittani. The joke is that they're effective now. So fuckit, okay we're using wolfpacks and torpedo submarine warfare (another item in the list of failcascade signs).

Because it works. We proved over the last couple days that subcaps would be gangraped by 150 interceptors. They upgraded to capitals and ate the 5x increase in cycle time because they had to, and now carriers are invalidated as well.

How does PL support itself? Are all of their members independently wealthy?

The capital changes are relevant to my answer to this question. The simple answer is no, not really. They fund their gameplay with PLEX and neutral alts running incursions in high sec, or wormhole escalation farms. They are mercenaries compared to the lumbering industrial machine that is the Imperium.

PL is comprised of players who are individually capable of purchasing a supercapital. Replacing those supercapitals as an organization is another matter. With the coming capital changes that make capital warfare very bloody, PL is losing another aspect of their way of life.

Prior to this, it was jump fatigue that reduced their power projection. It was enough to cause Black Legion, another mercenary group, to try acting like a sov holding entity. Sov gameplay proved so alien to Black Legion culture that they disbanded.

PL's culture is based on taking very few losses compared to what they kill. Current supercapital mechanics also allow them to form a nearly invincible ball of ships. This synergizes very well with their [in]ability to replace losses as an organization compared to an industrial war machine and sov holder such as the Imperium.

Pandemic Horde was their attempt at acting like a sov entity, an occupation force I guess, but that's only so effective at producing income and fleet members.

Ideally they will always have a contract fueling them. They may have enough gumption to stick it out longer than Black Legion, but if they continue as a mercenary organization, their rates will increase dramatically due to the losses they will incur after capital warfare becomes incredibly bloody.

If it wasn't for PL right now we could facefuck everyone in EVE at once. After the capital changes, we'll be able to fight a war of attrition with everyone in EVE including PL if necessary.

Thank you all so very much. Thank you to the Academy, thank you to all of you in this thread. I have to congratulate the other incredible posters this year for their unbelievable performances. "like it or not, PL is the best PVP group in EVE" was the product of the tireless efforts of an unbelievable list of j4Gs and true goons alike who I got to post with. First off, to my brother in this endeavor, Syndic Thrass. Syndic, your fierce dedication to making me look good by posting can only be surpassed by your attempts to make me look bad by posting. To FruitNYogurtParfait, as the EVE thread continues, you have forged your way into the top postcount list these past 2 iterations... thank you for creating a transcendent posting experience. Thank you to everybody at TMDC and Goonwaffe…my entire skype buddies list. I have to thank everyone from the very onset of my :10bux: career…to Vyst and Father Snuggles for accepting my corp applications to Aryth for not kicking me when I used jump bridges to bring up my multiboxed battleship fleet into Deklein. To my parents, none of this would be possible without you. And to my friends, I love you dearly, you know who you are.

It depends on whether the mechanics can be gamed to the attacker or the owner's advantage. Unlike sov where entosis burden was magically converted overnight, we get to pick.
