Rape caging super towers is very nearly a complete waste of time, over the last 5-6 years and at least a good dozen rapecages I've seen exactly one super die in such a setup. GSF could cascade, you could blue up the rest of Eve for all time and spend the next several years popping Adderall for 48 hour hellcamp marathon vigils like the sad autists you are -- you're still not catching poo poo because people are either going to DT trick their poo poo out, clear bubbles and wait for you to snooze, or remain logged off until it's safe.

this is correct -- even though my super isn't in nullsec ATM, i've just let the account lapse and will re-up that account when it's safe

the new sov system makes super having 100% optional

How long you think you can tell people to stay loghed off before they just never log back in again?

you'd be surprised, staying unsubbed and logged off was how we had to operate with supers between 2010 and 2016 except for the period right after b-r and before CO2 ate poo poo

Suicide dreads have marginally more dps than they used to, but are made of tissue paper and broken dreams. If a few properly spaced titans with AoE doomsdays fire on a blob of suicide dreads, the dreads are going to vaporize.

do they not have plates or extenders where you live or something

Super EHP nerfs are made up for by plates and their roll bonuses to those plates. Also armor dreads will need to sacrifice damage modules in favor of plates just to break even. I don't really see this updating as making dread bombing any more effective - though at least it'll be cheaper to lose dozens of dreads for no reason.

meanwhile naglfars exist

Except, you don't need to rape cage the towers anymore, especially when your towers aren't there anymore and our towers are- you know, that whole thing where Supers and Titans can now be tackled by a POS now (thanks :ccp:).

are you planning on leaving enough shared accountstotally single-person-owned accounts around to gun the tower and focus down titans with enough scrams in the extremely likely scenario of a mass breakout

http://pos.gbs.io/#/tower/CIOyAxDLXxoGCJ2GARAy

each warp disruption battery inflicts 3 points so you need minimum 17 focused points to tackle a titan

so 4-5 people to gun per super per tower, and with a limit of 50 points per tower you are tackling at most 3 titans

scrams have easier fitting and double the points but only scram to 75km

and unless you're going to gun with your own supers you need to either have the shields down, which means your gunners are decloaked and shootable, or the shields up, in which case the bump will send the supers sailing quickly out of range of scrams and potentially even the points

so uh yeah this is a pretty stupid plan

e: it's actually 17 i forgot to round up

I ran the numbers pre-patch on suicide frauding dreads, and it def. wasn't worth it, unless it was already insured from a previous scrapped dreadbomb


Chruker has disruption at 3 points, scram at 6. Still you'd need a lot.

yeah, meant disruption battery

i mention scrams a little later

Since we've lost our SOV we don't want to push too hard and break them before we kill everything they have to rat with, so if the retaking of dek takes a long while I wont mind as long as there are ratters to kill. What's the minimum comp that can roam and gently caress ratters up? Do Sa Matra Specials work still?

there was that neut stratios that one guy flew a lot in deklein and killed some nerds, that probably still works on subcaps

How does this multiply isk? https://www.themittani.com/features/plex-wall-incident
I read over it twice and I still don't get how this does anything for him.

so it's twofold

part one: he used the crappy implementation of margin trading in eve to generate a nearly arbitrarily large number of buy orders by spending almost no isk, and did it before the patch so he paid the old lower tax rate

part two: he parked those buy orders at a price where it wouldn't be profitable for traders making new orders to pay due to the new higher taxes

so he was able to acquire plex at a superior margin

it's basically margin trading like normal, except abusing the tax changes and a Margin Trading skill trick to create a bunch of essentially unbacked buy orders

An impressive ability to miss the point, but I'm struggling to state it in simpler terms: the imperium won't recover its sov when it gets ADMs low enough that it can sneakily set a few timers. It'll retake its sov - assuming that happens, which I do - when the balance of forces is sufficient that it doesn't matter if there are a few more minutes to hang around on grid, because they'll kill whatever comes along to try and disrupt enotosing. At that point, as happened in the first part of the war in the other direction, they'll contest a couple of timers then the opposition will gently caress off and the rest will be a dawdle.

Edit: as deadtear said, what I was saying about swordfleets is that they're about keeping people logging in. Not logging in is habit forming.

or it'll do it right now, literally as i am typing this
