I just saw the banner ad saying that Mittens was banned, Querns is space CEO (is he CEO within the forums / inner circle too? what happened to Aryth and Weas?), and that Delve is falling to the most predictable invasion ever.

Can someone link me to to posts discussing the situation in more substantial detail? Especially the leadership stuff? thanks, I got vacationed from goonfleet forum stuff at the API change

None of the stuff in the banner ads is true, hth

lol if you think im in charge of any of that. I also lost that bomber getting high on a gate :iiam:

I was genuinely surprised that withdrawing my fighters, then launching them to deceive the disrupt falcon and nearly blapping the solitary astero that they were using as tackle would work, but it did

They already have stealth bombers and attack BCs that do this.

The "problem" appears to be that nano gang idiots refuse to fly them because they pop easily and they don't want their shiny kill board getting messed up.


Judging by the stream of dead carriers and supers on zkillboard they die pretty often, just not to the same setups people use to gank VNIs.

I almost got ganked in my nid by a gang on Saturday that consisted of 12 bombers, a Falcon and an astero for tackle, and only got away because the falcon didn't notice that I'd relaunched my fighters after recalling them and blew the astero into structure so he warped off allowing me to warp off. They then came back a few hours later with more warp disruptors fitted and managed to snag a few carriers who were too lazy to call for help

Just to be clear, being randomly purged is not a slight inconvenience. I'm researching capital ship construction blueprints atm (in high sec thank god) so I can get into capital construction. If I was running capital ship construction jobs when my roles got pulled all of my industry jobs would be cancelled and I would lose billions of isk in materials. All of my market orders get hosed up too, and you have to pay tax upfront just to post market orders.

I think purging people to make them pay attention or whatever is a really dumb policy, and I can't risk having that happen again if I get into bigger production. So I'm going to see what I can do in NPC 0.0, where no one owns the stations.

all you had to do was install jabber or mumble and literally log in for one minute a month on both or either, and you felt that was such an inconvenience to you or frankly beneath you as a true goon that special discompensation should be made to you and you alone. gently caress off you entitled shitbird

This dude has forever been the most obvious troll. He went from sharing totally shitfit ratting and pvp domi fits and playing the “hurr durr how to eve” game, to talking authoritatively about supers and industry over the course of like 5 months. Throwing a fit about LeAvInG fOr GrEeNeR pAsTuReS after not logging into jabber for a year, yet still playing actively enough to post retarded poo poo in this thread daily, exemplifies this.

Don't forget, they also claimed to be in capswarm and yet never logged into jabber or mumble to actually receive a ping for a capswarm op

Rutibex log, Stardate 20190629:
Having been kicked out of the Imperium for being useless and generally annoying I have set out to make my own way in the void. No longer being a low level goon I have put on my traditional regalia. NPC corporations are gross, and everyone needs some nice tittles!


At first I tried to do some station trading in Jita, but I soon found that was impossible. Hundreds of extremely high level poop sockers live there, and have squeezed every cent of profit out of the entire idea. No only that, you have to update your orders every 5min or you get outbid immediately :argh: So instead I decided I would set up shop in an out of the way corner of NPC 0.0 space. Everyone always says that 0.0 is dead and empty, so I went out to see if that was true. Turns out it is! Using my trusty Proteus (and DOTLAN) I was able to scout around the galaxy and find the absolute most out of the way place imaginable. I settled on the region of Stain (where the Sanshas live!). There is no way to even fly to this region without going through 30 jumps of one sovereign alliance or another (Goons on one side Test on the other). I loaded up my Proteus with blueprint copies and made a run for it. There was one close call but I made it in alright. The region is dead as a door nail, I barely saw a half dozen people on my way in. I was able to find an out of the way area with clone service, reprocessing, and manufacturing and set up shop :D All I had with me was my Proteus, blueprints, and a few modules I could fit in the cargo hold (some Miner 2s and extra T2 drones). I didn't want to risk my expensive Proteus so I set out to do some mining in a newbie ship. I spawned an extra one and doubled up on the civilian mining laser :science: My hope was I could mine enough material to build a Venture and improve my yield. It was slow going at first:



Eventually I got frustrated with mining in a newbie ship so I decided to take a risk. I got my Proteus out and killed a bunch of the rats. I was able to reprocess their loot into the minerals I needed to make my Venture :D



Someone in the system was selling a Myrmidon hull, so I bought that. I don't have any fittings so I will have to make them myself. At least I have the hull! I have a Myrm blueprint but it would take me forever to mine enough minerals to make one in a Venture. Once I have the Myrm up and running I will be able to transition to ratting instead of mining! Ratting in a Myrmidon should net me enough to build a Dominix, and eventually a Thanatos.
There was only one structure in the system, a refinery owned by this powerful alliance:


this was better when Videogames made the same posts, but theirs were more endearing and 10000% less loving stupid

I don't think normal carriers are ever used in any fleets? I've never seen a call for them. I figure if the capital ships are coming out people will be jumping in their supers or dreadnoughts.

There's plenty of pings for carriers and dreads, I see them more often than I have super pings
