*sigh* sure. it's a weed joke

Deklein (former core of GSF space) fell to the Money Badger Coalition. For a few days all GSF & their allies had left from Deklein, Branch, Tenal, Tribute, Fade, Vale of the Silent & Pure Blind was Vale of the Silent & Pure Blind. However they've been able to take some pockets of space from Pandemic Horde, a new player focused alliance affiliated with Pandemic Legion. Right now Pure Blind is, for the most part, the largest swathe of land GSF owns, which makes sense since the GSF staging system of Saranen borders that region. Vale of the Silent hasn't really been touched by either side because, according to TEST Alliance Please Ignore's leaders, they were focusing on taking out Deklein & the other regions GSF owned.

so fade because its close. nice. does it offer any strategic advantages? can i sign up and rat in a carrier yet

so he wasn't full of poo poo when posting about the lead up to BAT leaving GSF? i'm genuinely curious

Endie & BAT left GSF in December 2015. The general consensus was that Endie & some of the other GSF directors had issues with one another that, ultimately, they were unable to be resolved. What specifically only Endie can speak on as he knows what he was unhappy with more than anyone. Added to that was BAT, in a general sense, were unhappy with the state of things in GSF. They decided to leave amicably, and they ended up joining Pandemic Legion since Endie has been fairly friendly with JEFFRAIDER, Grath Telkin, etc. and it wasn't really that big of a surprise. Both sides then decided to fling mud because nobody in this dumb game can handle things like this.

If you do damage to the armor & structure, the ship will show damage on it like in this picture.



It's also based on the positional damage that your ships hit the ship at (though you can't control that, that's just the game doing its thing).

Yeah, I know. I'm even running missions fully zoomed in to enjoy the new effects. Its amazing and adds some much needed immersion in what otherwise becomes a somewhat boring grind.

The Greater Goon: Retards Welcome

A Brief Orientation Video

Are you really stupid and also hate people telling you what to do all the time? Do you like picking on the smallest kid at the pool to compensate for the fact that your dad hates you and your girlfriend cheats on you? Do you like haunted houses?

Then follow the path of poverty to Syndicate, spiritual home of the mystic Groon, for whom the psychic auras of more than a dozen people in fleet at once are confusing and befuddling. The aforementioned video will tell you all of what you need to know. No sov bullshit, just fly around in small gangs, explode space ships and get high on teamspeak. No one expects more of you than that, because we all know deep down that you'd just disappoint us.

Yeah that was one thing said while Endie & BAT were halfway out the door iirc that soured things as well since most people agree Endie is a good dude regardless of affiliations and makes posts that, even if you disagree with the end argument, are at least reasonable. Unsurprisingly the people calling him mentally ill etc. are also the ones who got mad at DJ for starting his own EVE group on here so there's that.

Yeah it is Asher. Sorry to say that DBRB's fear over Eonwe getting the EVE thread shut down came true. Mostly because of there being multiple EVE threads and the last thread was poo poo all around.

I don't know if you knew this either, but if you sit in an assembled ship, then not use it for a while it collects rust & dirt.

Exactly. Endie was an insufferable attention whore in the end. OH NO OH NO MY SUPERCAP IS GONNA BE GANKED BECAUSE I SPOKE AGAINST THE KICKSTARTER. I AM SO AFRAID TO LOGIN.

Except it wasn't. There wasn't any retaliation. So when that piddled out he decided to leave anyway because that's how attention whores work.

When did they change the graphics for shield ships getting hit with stuff? I actually have a real shield around my spaceship that absorbs space lasers and missles and stuff AND ITS AWESOME, HOLY poo poo. Does the armor damage effect change as you run a repper, because if so HOLY poo poo THAT IS AWESOME TOO.

Yep, that was late in 2015. Your hull also now catches fire and smolders when you take armor damage, and the fires are slowly put out and clean up as you run an armor repper. When you take hull damage, the lights on your ship flicker and the engine exhaust plumes go out.



Other graphical things you might have missed in your absence:

* There are now kill marks on your hull -- you get a stamp on your hull for each final blow
* They redid visual effects for smartbombs, DDs, and some missile explosions
* Hulls collect dust and rust (there's a "Clean Ship" button in the fitting window if you don't like it)
* All nebulas/starfields redone
* TXAA enabled if your video card can do it

It may be a terrible game, but it's a good-looking terrible game.

Also, some of the skins look really good these days:
