Frat is Vale + Tribute. 14T vs 11T.

Good idea to have an idea of super basic geography before throwing shade about receipts. I guess you could add Querious and but that's 1) heavily Sib Squad and 2) a pretty tiny amount that doesn't change things noticeably.

The funny thing is production is not a big deal for Frat, most of their isk comes from other sources. They might be approaching an order of magnitude jump over Goons at this point.

Frat is:

#1 in Production
#1 in Mining (by a lot)
#1 in Ratting (by 2-3x over goons)
#1 in wormhole isk income vs Goons/Horde (who are close to 0, altho Init does some). A lot of c5/c6 krabbing is Frat these days.
#2 in Pochven isk (behind Horde, goons are irrelevant here)
#1 in Lvl 5 mission income over the other blocs (by a lot)

Now goons are off to go beat up on fire who are basically irrelevant while Frat looks to add 2-3 regions

if you love frat so much why don't you join them

the original thing you raised was "Imperium has decent production, 2nd only to Frat," you're backtracking here from that comparison (for obvious reasons). I would maintain that Delve+Fountain is a fair comparison to Vale+Tribute. I checked and literally every month YTD besides May, Delve+Fountain > Vale+Tribute in production. Mining and ratting are down in timeframes that correspond to the GEF deployment and mining in Vale+Tribute was only greater than Delve+Fountain in the month of May. You're making an error of comparing one month instead of a YTD comparison. Goons in eve though are definitely doomed because of Pochven or whatever.

You could try not being a mouth breathing retard.

Top 3 index systems in Querious:

1) V-LEKM (Sib Squad)
2) 49-U (Catch border)
3) 3-FKCZ (Sib Squad)

There doesn't appear to be any serious buildup yet in fake Querious. Hence the reason 1) I didn't mention it and 2) there is poo poo for production in querious currently.

Yes, 2 years ago there was noticeable production in fake querious but then you guys had everything get burned down.

Maybe you should ask one of your fellow goons to make a very simple picture with colors so you actually understand WTF fake querious is?

Yeah, if you are comparing Init + Goons to Frat, then Fountain should be included. I was comparing Goons to Frat, but feel free to adjust as needed.

I don't know that I'm a Frat fanboy, they are the people I shoot the most. Just creating some comparisons because it feels Mittens and by extension his alliance is stuck in 2019 style of thinking and eventually that will hurt. Goons got on top in part because they outkrabbed the rest of the universe by a significant amount in the Rorqual years and now a different group is taking that page from their playbook while Mittens hurfs about DBM rather than being flexible and taking on the state of the game as it is.

And this war just feels dumb. A fiery "we march to war for the first time since XYZ date!" speech to go invade.... Fire? Umm, okay. Shooting Horde's fort in Skarkon or Frat's fort in Nalvula is a hell of a lot more relevant to their interests than all the regions Fire inhabits.

"why won't the alliance fund our misadventures for lining our own personal pockets in a region the alliance can't project power in while engaged in a full deployment war" I screech, and then call all of the directors names when called out on my bullshit? "No, I won't check that every time this idea has been brought up it has been immediately shot down by the alliance" I yell before calling directors more names because I am obviously smarter than the directorate I chuckle

Hard to believe you are sub 10%. Are you accounting for the fact I *think* MER counts each step again? So 50B reacted into 55B reacted into 65B of production counts as 170B not 65B? I *think* I'm around 600B in monthly production and I feel like a small potato compared to what I remember you talking about on gs_isk or whatever it was :)

As for what to do, seems like there are lots of lucrative and/or interesting possibilities. Gobbins went loving mental when goons + stribog reffed his astra during WWBII, if his fort in Skarkon was seriously threatened he'd care a lot more than fire slowly retreating from some regions for a while. And Horde has been staging out of that for for ages, the drops would probably be insane.

Could try to assault the C6 donut that lazerknocks have put together and take over some C6 constellations w/ organized taxes/etc for isk generation and actually tap that income source instead of just complaining about it.

Deploy to next to Frat and gently caress with them, they actually give good fights frequently.

Anyway, maybe I'm totally off base and goons are super excited to go retake the same worthless regions from an alliance that poses no threat to them while Horde shows up to the fights they want to and otherwise just surrender territory they don't care about. Maybe thousands are logging on with excitement at the thought of a mostly pointless war over some of the least desired regions in Eve. That wouldn't be me, but I'm also not in the Imperium anymore so whatevs.

You aren't even the first person to misread "Goons" as "Imperium" and assume I forgot Fountain in this thread. Feel free to read up a couple posts?

Init has different leadership, different approach, etc and unlike the other english speaking alliances they still remain their own entity that likes to operate independent from goons when they can. I don't have any complaints about Init leadership, I think Dark Shines does a really good loving job. That includes him being open about the fact that he wishes they could be independent and didn't have to ally with Goons, but if you need to be part of a bloc the Goons are the lesser evil (and don't stab them in the back like NCDot did).

Taking a different look at Frat's industry setup, this time in Vale, from the lofty position of "haven't logged in in five years." Who the gently caress set this up? Do they have brain damage? Vale had so many outposts, and yet their top three manufacturing systems somehow managed to be in completely unbonused systems. Half of their top 20 industry systems have no index bonuses at all. I didn't test every single one of these in GTS, but the top N that I did all had one thing in common: A directly accessible lowsec mid. Many of them can be returned to from the Jita undock directly. Combined with their pathetic local markets and one thing is clear -- the greater majority of this industry is in high danger of being directly exported to Jita, the exact opposite of what you want as a state power.

Compare this to Delve, where 18 of the top 20 systems for makin' poo poo are in a system with at worst a 0.7 multiplier, most in a 0.6 or 0.5. (Whoever the gently caress is making stuff in 4K-TRB is getting their financial assholes widened on the reg by its unbonused nature.) Combine this with Delve's painful shipping costs, and you end up with a early 1900s Tulsa Greenwood district situation. An ISK made in Delve will, on average, be spent more reliably in Delve than sent to Wawa. I mean, Jita.
