CCP said they're aiming for it to be Free-to-play, and yeah it'll be hacked to poo poo but I still hold out hope that Grief Univeristy & that stuff will be revived.


The Vale bit I just repeated from what Vily & TEST leaders said publicly because, honestly, they know more about their own plans than anyone else.

Also fair point on the CO2 thing, I forgot to mention that.

I know people dislike Aegis sov, but I genuinely find it to be more entertaining for a few different reasons. See; FCON taking DARK.'s space out in Immensea etc. while DARK were busy taking FCONs space. That, to me, is kind of funny and neat.

I was in the first warbarge hijacking, when we screwed over I think it was e-uni? Because we had just figured out how to drag other people into queueing warbarges and it owned.

Yeah it was E-Unis DUST group, DUST Uni, which is where the name came from :sun:

Also it was great when Jenza tried to coin the name for awoxing in DUST after herself, and then we GU'd her corp :smuggo:

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Oh, while we're on the topic of people coming back to the game after a few months absent: CCP added a new set of faction frigates to the game based on the ewar frigs, and all of them are hilariously broken.

* The Griffin Navy Issue is like a Merlin and a Kitsune had a baby; you get a turret damage bonus (200dps with neutrons firing CNAM) and a jamming strength bonus, and drones. On the flip side, you get a jamming range penalty, limiting you to ~6km or so. Bring a mobile depot so you can swap out jam flavors for racials, and you'll win 99% of frigate fights; it's basically a win button once you get to scram range.

Again, this is all relatively news to me since I haven't really done much with Horde since end of February/mid March. I know that any awoxers etc. get purged from the corp (along with other people who cause issues not just via awoxing). The whole mentality of having to apply to be an FC etc. isn't how PL or Waffles ever operate so that's why Horde does that stuff. Is that ideal? Probably not, but the flip side of that coin is that outside of that sort of situation it allows a new guy who wants to FC to step up and FC without red tape and dumb stuff related to it that have turned off newbies from groups like E-Uni etc. in the past.

I can't speak as to how Horde compares to TEST since I never did anything with them, but I know the whole mentality in GSF where you had to do X or Y just to take a fleet out was sort of weird and dumb in my opinion.

My instincts tell me that you're basing this on your impression of GSF during the time that you were in TopGoon, and therefore you're working from your experiences with Trephination, Guuldaan, and Sothrasil. Those guys have a habit of trying to put themselves on a pedestal as FCs because they have aspirations of space important, so for them to be An FC (or a "TopGoon FC") means that they're super special and important and better than the regular plebes because they've been vetted and proven and all of this poo poo, and so if you're not An FC, you need to shut up and listen to them until you're An FC (which you never will be because you're, of course, not as good and important as them).

Jesus, if I had the insurance payouts from every time that those guys went and did something that I told them to not do on the grounds that they were Official FCs and they know better than me and they're going to do it anyway, I'd be Querns.

Soth was chill, but that and having space delusions of space grandeur aren't mutually exclusive. You should have been there for the conversations in which I was trying to set up a more effective Blops Drop system (involving staging in space rather than in a lowsec pos) and he was all :ohdear: because it would be too hard for his regulars to do it that way and they might stop showing up for fleets if it wasn't the type of spoonfeeding that he was typically offering and he needed to have good numbers because something something block FC.

In fact, now that I think about it, if anything he was too chill. He was so desperate to be putting up paplinks with big "impressive" numbers that he'd let any kind of drooling idiot into fleet, no matter how bad they were at EVE or at being a human being. That's how we ended up with people like Johnny Rah and Futility spewing diarrhea over comms all day and getting other people's ships killed and forcing all of the good people quit because they didn't want to be around them anymore, and Soth was too "chill" to kick anyone. And then TopGoon died.

That's what happened.

I loving love killing horde in my rapier. It's just not enough DPS to go after their cruisers. But ganking their destroyers and moonwalking when the fleet lands never gets old.

Also, if anyone wardecs Video game's Corp, the loving war would be put on hold to stomp them.

Ganglinks still are system wide and not grid?

What is the fighter change to supercarriers I've read about?

Doomsdays are still version 2 and not version 1?

Are falcons still great?

Why are rockets a thing? Do I need to EFT everything all over again from 2011?
