Jump Freighters having to gate into low sec and then jump out?

Eh... a pain in the butt to be sure and it would limit the cargo value quite a lot. But that just goes on top of the price so meh. I can work with that if it ever came to it.

I would probably pack the cargo into a triple bulkhead Charon and then move it to the last system. Then have the jump freighter take it expanded from the station to the outgate. That way if they bump me on the station I can just dock back up. The charon is tanky as hell and insures at 100% so the jump freighter would mostly be out of harms way.

I'm not really keeping up with the times. What was CO2's motivation for betraying the CFC anyways? When I played they were one of the allies that we legitimately liked.

When we abandoned Vale. Tribute became the new frontline and Co2's home became the buffer for Deklein. They also did the math and Goonswarm participation was something like 2% when based on total Alliance pilots as opposed to Co2s 11% which showed that we weren't serious about defending our allies.

Vyst set to work to scrape the badposting-rust off of the Goonfleet forums and reveal the stainless steel of goodposting below.

Little did he realise that under the rust was only more rust.

Is there a specific reason other than there are two eve thradz?

This is the thread for Eve politics where tryhards can argue over border disputes.

The other is the chill threads where people just relax and have talk about the fun they had.

There are then four other threads for four different goon groups in Eve who are all mostly at odds with one another. Except Groon. Groon are nice and good.

Common misconception when it comes to PL. Killmail is better. Killmail goes in your pocket. A titan has to be hauled back home and needs a sitter.

It would be like the time in Fountain someone ejected from a T3 we were about to kill and Vily spent 15 minutes screaming for no one to shoot it, everyone untarget it etc... so he could steal it. In the end we just killed it and had him rage about how dumb goons were for the rest of the op.

We had the same thing happen with a Scimitar in a POS once.

I tried h1z1 but apparently after the Eve goons had become bored and left. I read the guides and collected my fill of sticks and berries. Came to the Damm only to find it completely deserted.

I greatly overestimated bombers when I was a new player. I used to train and train with them. Move around asteroid belts with the tactical overview to stay cloak. Then align the bombing run so I would drop the bomb and then instantly warp out as I had a bookmark behind the target.

I practised on rats in belts at first and then started practising on fleets and gate camps. Turns out none of that had anything to do with bombing. Bombing was about hitting one target and then let the whole bomber wing die because they're cheap anyway. If someone makes it out then great but it was ultimately inconsequential.

Also I think if you left the grid before the bomb landed. It didn't explode at all.

Considering the call to evacuate Deklein has not been made yet then I suppose the current standing orders is to consolidate in the impregnable fortress Deklein and let the peasant hordes break themselves on the walls.

Most of the people in hole squad aren't any were close to being bittervets and a lot of us have characters we use to regularly do stuff in k-space with the rest of the Alliance. Although considering you bought into the dumb ivory tower bullshit meme I'm not entirely surprised you believe in other dumb ones.

I can't even parse the joining PH part because it just means nobody is ever going to forget you did that and it puts you and ever single one of your characters on a huge shitlist. I mean holy poo poo just leave on good terms to a neutral alliance THEN jump ship instead of flaming out and crashing in the biggest gaggle of morons this side of Delve. The only worse choice you could have picked was Test or CO2.

No doubt. I'll be fine.

My entire point is that the "grass is always greener" mentality people have about life outside the Imperium is honest to god kinda crazy sometimes. People are free to do whatever they want, doesn't mean they are immune from getting made fun of for doing it

I doubt the grass is greener. Rather with the war turning the lawn is probably brown and black from being constantly on fire and people putting it out with buckets of gasoline. But it will probably be an interesting experience.
