All appologies for being off topic, but I just saw the just announced 2016 Hugos Nominees and I now need a place to go vent.

As a relative SA newb and only having payed attention to the EVE forums this past year, I'm over due to exploring what else SA has to offer, anyway. Where should I go within SA to help relieve my frustration over the whats been going on with the Hugo's before I end up radicalizing and going all Sayyid Qutb on MRAs and related parties?

Fake Edit: Sure was a shock when I tried to post this and it kept failing because I had not realized the old thread was killed. Gosh, I hope this request isn't even more inappropriate in the new more neutral discussion!

It's pretty simple. I don't want to do eve spacework anymore. I don't play eve. Illum is boring now. I don't care about the meta. I only really cared about it for trolling purposes. Goonfleet.com forums are garbage, and it needs bleach-style moderation of which I'm too soft for.

Are we not talking about the Aeon we killed today?

Actually he has been ratting in it all day. He was too easy to spook so we nabbed a thanatos instead. Then he warped the aeon in to save the thanatos, and well.

Note this is all second hand. But so far in the last week we've killed about five carriers, one dread, now a super, and a crapload of rattlesnakes.

EDIT: I'm going to go ahead and say these paisti syndicate guys stupid as gently caress and are going to get murdered by the bakers dozen and Horde has a better chance of keeping Fade than these jackasses do dek.

Hey so I just shelled out the money to check out these forums mainly to get intel and figure out this whole goon thing. Rather than being smart and skulking quietly I just decided to blather some dumb stuff.

So after looking at these SA forums for a bit, like is there no complete forum or house of threads for Eve Online? Like all the Eve goon blather is going to be on the Goonswarm forums and all? Like not a lot of Eve crap actually happens here?

I finally decided to pay money and check out SA because Mittens is constantly saying that "our forums are so much better than /r/Eve" and all. But I am looking at the SA forums and I don't see any easily identifiable Eve goon place.

Oh, and does having this account make me a goon? I can't freaking stand Goonswarm.

Given the issues with this lovely thread (like, for instance, the lovely, tired and overworked "oh no your name begins with d" meme) someone splitting his responses up (but still posting content) is pretty low down the list of shame.

What kind of change would we have to see in the game for the "meta" of sorts to move away from fast shield tanked ships and back to the slow armor brawlers? Every battle report I read is full of shield tanking caldari and minm boats on both sides, variety is the spice of life!

The Fabian Strategy is based on the defender having a ton of advantages that you no longer have, and most importantly time is on their side, which it is most certainly not for GSF stuck in lowsec.


You were not outnumbered or outgunned at the start of the war, that's the whole point; you had nearly equal numbers and threw it away to fold faster than BRAVE did.

Nunes posted:

Sorry for not being clear before. I am talking in the frame of the similar type of activity. For example, If I were to look at a Wormhole PVP corp, they all pretty much say the same things, the only real difference I see is what time they are most active. I am also noticing similar things in FW corps (Minus the faction they represent) as well as Null corps (separating sov and non-sov null of course). I guess what I am really having trouble with is figuring out if I would fit into a group culturally or not. I don't want to waste people's time if I can figure out if I would be a fit or not before joining.

As far as what activity I am looking for, I want to get more into PVP things. I spent too much time doing PVE things and as a direct result. I am absolute garbage at PVP. Beyond that, I am not married to any other particular details. Every type of space presents a unique set of dangers and challenges that I can enjoy.

Really? You think that anyone in the western hemisphere thinks that Bush's "Mission Accomplished" can be used in any non-ironic fashion? Because if so, then they're maybe not the dummy here.


And yet apparently you do.

I mean ffs I used the same image in a war update when we left Delve early on whichever invasion that was (Delve 4? There were so many).

I imagine this is what dealing with FCON/FA for years felt like for Goons.

There are some donations yes but you can't build a future on some rich guys whimsies. You certainly can't become dependant on it. (see MOA and Gevlon)


Horde and karmafleet are almost mirror images of one another.


There's your problem right there.

As for genuine progress in the war. GSF is not making any. The main strategy at the moment is to try and wait out the MBC. To bore them until their member participation in the north drops below GSF numbers. Then to roll the north and take it back.


I don't care how the war goes. What I do care about is what direction the group I am in is going. GSF and the Imperium at the moment exists for one single purpose. To gather page viewers, stream viewers and ad clickers for TMC. That is the first priority. Internet spaceships is secondary. And because Mittens literally lives on this Alliance, his stake in it has become so serious that no means. Inside or outside the game are spared to advance it. And all that makes me sick to my stomach. Which is why I left.

When I joined Horde the conflict had started to turn. O1Y was bubbled most of the day and swordfleets often held the station grid. I expected Horde to be ousted from Fade within the month.

Rust Martialis posted:

The problem with that in mind, I have a bunch of other things that you can also use the same time frame. The pro-slavery Dred Scott court under Taney, and the Senate approves the first time in the world of you who don't know what you want. Xenuria the best way to get the latest news from you and the rest of your life and death.

OK never doing that again. Seeded Xenuria midpoint.

Endie posted:

I wonder if Xenuria might not be confusing "CCP don't even challenge me when I talk about my grand psychological theories of player behaviour such is my obvious expertise" with "CCP ignore me". This is, after all, the person whose grasp of human psychology is such that he had an unwitting conversation with a computer about whether it was really his friend after the human participant got bored and handed over the reins to a bot.

Squizz, the guy who makes Zkill, responded to a PM I shot him and made this PSA/thread a little bit ago to help clarify it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4m8jgm/zkillboard_does_not_automatically_get_all/


It wasn't a dodge but OK. PL's api isn't on zkill and that's something Squizz himself has commented on over the past few years in that not all PL killmails/lossmails are on the site.

I don't really get involved in the "zomg killboard stats " idiocy. Then again I'm not a tryhard who focuses on that stuff when it comes to a video game like you guys.
