She didn't have any space rank to pull, which is why I sent her packing. That was always her problem, she overreached her position constantly.

I have a rift, it's a non existent market really. I'd regret the purchase if I didn't get it at a really discounted price.

people don't like asset safety because it reduces the pain of choosing not to fight

the wider player base is still sore about us refusing to fight in the casino war, and as such they're very sensitive of anything that could possibly make the choice not to fight easier (like asset safety)

the problem with their belief is that without asset safety, structures would simply not get used in k-space over the perfect safety of NPC stations, and thus nearly all the targets left in space to actually contest would vanish

Pretty much this. Nullsec would become a wasteland and this poo poo game would finally loving die.

I've found it a lot safer than anywhere else

Goon posts about how he's getting in cool fights, second goon posts "Oh hey join the swarm you can totally coddle up". Compared to the past where we'd say things like "Yeah jump into the deep end with us and you'll be a better player and maybe kill people too."

I don't understand this new swarm at all.

Welp that's my shitpost from a salty veteran post for the day, someone poke me when we are in a war that doesn't look like two autism babies crying in opposite corners from eachother while screeching about how much they mined today. Thanks and godbless.

A strong economy is the foundation of a strong army.

Literally every time we've made some smarmy "but we're so rich" doctrine we got jobbed by retards. Offensive sov war and the logistics of the same against a moderately prepared enemy is a skillset that can atrophy. Getting fat and farming isk in Delve just puts you on the slow burn to last years war Mk. 2. Granted the nullsec landscame re: citadels makes thinks kinda lovely, but we've stomped through grindy shitwars before for some pretty stupid loving regions (Halloween War) that largely ended up having no real impact on the map but had a HUGE impact in teaching us our capabilities and what we can do when we want to stab someone really hard.

But that wasn't really the gist of my post. The gist of my post is when trying to entice a newbie tell them about the cool aviator sunglasses dangerous poo poo we get up to. Don't start off with "It's just like being a renter without rent!"

I quit the game for a bit and went blops full time when I came back, and the next most qualified person to lead it who actually still played eve was Sothrasil.

yeah basically topgoon leadership was decent when it started out, peaked with me (leader #2) and has been downhill since

Topgoon peaked in early 2012 late 2013 when you had already flamed out. It peaked when Treph took over and I was there to act as a brake on him being stupid.

The lowest point is probably either when Sothrasil took over or maybe that short point where we were desperately trying to get a director to stop giving realism our squad money just so he could put together pointless contests where surprise he was the winner!

the stratios is definitely the best stealth gank boat but do not overestimate its capabilities since its armor bonus p much just a balancing factor so you have less low slots for you to dump damage mods into rather than actually making for any sort of beefy tank and everyone will shoot you immediately the second you decloak because they know you aren't cyno bait

I mean it's been two years since I fit one, but back in the day if you were going a-gankin in hostile nullsec the way to go was shield. A shield strat can fit to almost 35k EHP a faction point, and about 900 dps with good skills, that will melt most ratters and give you the agility to actually move around/run camps if needed. Armor was best for goofy AAR setups and combat drops where logi theoretically exists (And then with a big enough gang T3's are better).

As far as I know my old hotdrop fit is still the gold standard for doing drops.

Yes and goons were the only folks with a coherent jumpbridge network covering half of EVE. We could take a 256 man fleet from VFK to the border of Catch in about 40 minutes. The eye of terror was OP as gently caress, but also essential for having holdings that large.

I remember when you could have two JB's in each system and just bounce bridge to bridge all the way down without ever seeing a gate.

people with no infrastructure cried hard about how it made travel too safe

Which is stupid because you could cloak a dictor 350 km off the jb pos in line with the other jb and murder nerds all day long, and aside from initial scanning and setup it was actually easier than gates.
