~TL;DR~

The largest coalition in the game decided to take a poke at the numerically inferior Low Sec alliances. Instead of crumbling as expected to the superpower, they banded together and pushed them back out of their area of space, taking all of the big coalition's income in the area as they did.

Once people saw it was possible to beat this super-coalition, most of the player groups in the game decided to band together, with encouragement from the enormously rich I Want Isk (IWI) gambling organisation who have grievances with the super-coalitions's component alliances.

Today marked a major victory in taking the strategically important staging system of one of the super-coalition's player groups which caused that group to flip sides to the attackers.

:laffo:

The best part of this is them saying that IWI is "encouraging" the groups to come at us. That's a kind way of putting it.

I hope all of this comes to pass, and I hope everyone has fun because of it. I guess that's the benefit of having no aspiration for space in null and no ill-will towards fellow goons, I'm just here for the fun with no emotional investment whatsoever. The only time I got fired up recently to fight goons was when the whole viceroy thing kicked in and the imperium threatened our moons in lowsec and I sort of need those for stuff.

Also I made an EVE chat channel on the SA discord if anyone is interested, you can find the link to the server info here if you need it: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3759565

I know goonwaffe has its own services but both people in and out of goons in EVE can chat there if you like.

Speaking from the opposing side of the conflict, I can tell you that a lot of what you said is what I have noticed as well. As far as doctrines go, we're just trying to find out what works best for the situation. Given that we're up against many different entities who are all flying their own separate doctrines, it's gotta be hard to plan for one thing that will do good against all of them. However our numbers are slowly improving. Yesterday evening I was surprised to see we actually filled a full T3 fleet that wasn't a posted OP to try and contest the CSAA in Tenal. Now of course that fact was moot considering there were 1200+ hostiles that showed up to oppose us, but it's a good start and I hope we can get that consistently. I was bummed that we flew all the way out there (30+ jumps from our staging with a long warp tunnel every stargate because of 250+ dudes in fleet) and were not able to fight, but you have to admit that taking that fight was a good decision (at least for us).

I think that as you guys start to get closer to established systems that have higher ADMs that you're going to slow down a lot. As a coalition our forces were really spread out and now that we're consolidated I think that is going to help with resistance as well. And if you get as far as Deklein you might hit a brick wall entirely since those ADMs are pretty good and there will be tons of angry Goons ready to take revenge and defend our homeland. And if we lose Deklein? So what? While I think that the chances of this happening are extremely low you can't rule it out as impossible. Would losing Deklein cause the Alliance or Coalition to collapse on itself? I don't think so. It's not the end of the world by any means.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to the next few weeks and it should be good fun either way no matter what happens. This is my first real war being with Goons for almost 2 years and so far I'm having a lot of fun participating and getting to shoot space mans. I joined in for other things such as the 2015 Fountain/Delve conflict and our GSF-only deployment to Immensea, but this is doesn't even compare. I hear a lot of people saying that the MBC is going to turn on each and break apart and people will get bored and go home and all that, so it seems like there is a lot of hope that will happen. Will it happen? Nobody knows. Will the Citadel expansion change things? Maybe. Time will tell, but I hope that we don't get complacent and put all our hopes solely on that happening. From what I have seen in previous conflicts, I can say that we have not even come close to reaching our full potential to wage war yet.

Anyways, that's just my opinion as a regular line member. Also, you're a chill dude and level-headed about the whole thing and I appreciate that. It is just a game after all. It's good to talk to rational people on the other side for once instead of the alternative poo poo-spewing, mouth-breathing, reddit-worshippers.

EvE is such a loving beautiful game

The above video has a neutral tone, so don't worry about getting Redditbrain watching it.

I liked the video. They always do a great job putting things like this together. The Clarion Calls are definitely some of my favorite EVE videos. And LM has the perfect voice for narrating. He could read the ingredients off a pickle jar and it would be mildly interesting to listen to.

When did command destroyers become a thing? I'm so happy that the corax hull is being used for something new, but are they super useful?

When done correctly yes. You can MJD a group of logi away from their fleet, or the DPS off the logi, etc. It's also used on station undocks to combat docking games and jumps people off their undocks to a quick death. Does not affects capital ships though.

Are any of those NPC Titans still around in High-sec? I remember reading about them but never saw them and heard people saying that they are no longer there. That would have been neat to see as a newbie. The Eve Gate and the Titanomachy monument in B-R5 (memorial to the largest Supercapital battle the game has ever seen) are excellent places to visit as well once you get more acclimated to the game.

Has anybody else tried out citadels on Sisi and found them hard to use or unintuitive? I could not dock at a single one that I found anchored in space, which was fairly annoying since there were so many cluttering my overview. I imagine this is just due to a bunch of people anchoring them for themselves without giving a poo poo about the docking/usage permissions since it is Sisi, but I am hoping that this isn't what to expect going forward on TQ.

There's citadels in 3V8 and JU- that are friendly that I know of offhand that you should be able to dock in if you're still messing around with that. Things have been borked on Sisi in general though recently with all of the activity. A week or two ago they had an issue with setting permissions on the Citadels so that nobody could dock in them at all. My client is frequently encountering a desync issue with the server where I can't dock anywhere in anything and my overview gets frozen so the game thinks I am off in a fixed point in space but on my screen I'm sitting at 0 on a friendly station trying to dock or attempting to jump a stargate and nothing happens. Sometimes relogging fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. :shrug:
