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 CFC failed because we continue to make long term strategic mistakes under the mistaken assumption that our single direction "Bro Pact" will one day be reciprocated. Basically despite constantly talking about twisting the knife, every single time we get a knife into someone we immediately go all limp wristed, like we caught a spell of the vapors at seeing blood or something. Like B-R should have been deadzoned indefinitely, all of the super pos caged and we should have just squatted there for as long as it took. Playing H1Z1 in one window while the "Log on to finish this." button was available in the other. See what PL/NC. did to the russians for about 2 years straight if you need a refresher on just being vicious.

As far as fozzie sov goes: Suddenly small to medium gang pvp is really loving important to holding/taking space, we're going to have to take a crash course on that kind of thing because as a coalition we've largely shat on the concept of small "Punch above weight" pvp for ages now, and it turns out when 20 or 30 nodes are being hacked at once, you can't hurf 2000 dudes for each one.

This sov system is basically a small gang dudes wet dream.

Except, as we are discovering, the new one is also an escalation challenge. This is nothing to do with Fozziesov itself, so much as the fact that all PVP in Eve is, given enough resources, an escalation challenge, and if you can describe a full scale sov war between the MBC and the Imperium with two words they would be "enough resources".

For all that supercaps are penalised out of directly taking nodes, Fozziesov has been no exception to this rule, since the entire point is that it's about sustained grid control, and the side with supercap superiority can always keep the field clear of enemy heavy assets (even before they got the ability to directly clear that field back) and that superiority means they couldn't be dislodged since the only viable counter to "N supercaps" was "N+1 supercaps". We'll see if the nerfs to supercap durability change this and allow a large enough force of non-supercaps to dislodge them.

I took a 10day resub offer because it was about to expire, but couldn't decide where I wanted to be in game.

BOS has all my old friends, but GSF give me ISK to fly, meaning I don't need to worry about money.

And then there's Video Games' Corp, which looks chill as hell, and you know I love a bit of mining.

It is far easier to Jack stuff with lower ADMs. Grid holding has very little to do with it. Pitched battles rarely happen, as usually when MBC defends it's with overwhelming numbers.

Also with lower ADMs, the more likely you can ninja a system.

But please, go on about how ADMs have no impact on sov.

So we left Shadow Cartel, and we've been making GBS threads up Syndicate with camps and fleets and honestly, for some reason, the game feels more fun than it has in ages to me.

Glad to see populations kicking back up in a real way too.

hostiles 6 months ago "why don't you reduce the number of people in your coalition, it will be ~more fun~"

CFC 6 months ago "no, you're just mad that nobody likes you"

hostiles now "why are you reducing the number of people in your coalition, what about your friends"

CFC now "didn't want those allies anyways"

At fanfest CCP said Eve is in a way real, because its plex prices were directly associated to the fall in oil prices, crash of Russian Rubble currency, etc...at least they hired some new guy to figure all of that out. CCP also showed how Muricans are more efficient than Russians in making isk/hr.

Yeah, Sesfan calling them out and booting them mid-SotG was harsh and hilarious

e: how effective would it be for me to sit in the middle of Fade with a Falcon and just wait for entosis notifications and try to drive-by jam stuff? Is it a losing prospect, or would delaying an entosis attack by 20-30m help us actually respond to reinforcement attempts instead of just showing up to timers?
