I have only been in there for a dozen clicks.

I found it scary and weird.

Is it the trial I must pass before I can tackle for the swarm?

The last trail I undertook was recording myself saying a very lame verse not realising that it was a joke trail.

I'm a bit gullible me. A touch too trusting. I was once a rich eve man until I transferred 10bn isk in the hope of joining the greater goon.

This gets updated with every dinky structure we murder and every fleet, regardless if we win or lose.

How does a banned for j4g person get access to that?

I listen to a podcast called talking in stations and they had the dude who runs the north on this week.

Dude sounded broken, but he says that he is expecting the mother of all assaults on the day the truce comes to an end, which makes sense.

First, do the north have any chance of getting their poo poo together enough to bridge the resource gap and be able to fight on an equal footing?

Second, with the imperium planning on turtling up and putting down defences everywhere (is it realistic to think you can put keepstars everywhere a keepstar can be put) does that afford the north a chance to close the gap of which I spoke?

Third, who do you think would win in a fight between a baboon and a badger?

Rutibex posted:

It doesn't even do anything. The only reason to build a palpatine keepstar is if you desperately want to attract a fleet of everyone in EVE (trying to get on the killmail).

Maybe that is what goons should do.

Build one in the heart of their territory and tell the world "come and get it".

I've started watching Jin'taan's videos.

Are they considered honest and accurate?

If so I have a few questions about the current war.

1. In which of the 2 blocs are Test?
2. If you do get your poo poo pushed in, what happens? Will the other two go to war?

Could someone link a goon stream please.

notaspy
Mar 22, 2009

On stream there seems like there is a lot more reds/greys then blues.

Is that due to snek using carriers?

And what is the 15 min timer for? To anchor/have the core inserted?

notaspy
Mar 22, 2009

Gwyneth Palpate posted:

It's probably both the fact that they are using carriers and the simple fact that they outnumber us.

The current 15 minute timer is the final timer before the structure becomes fully operational and protected by shields. The rough lifecycle of a keepstar from deployment to fully operational is as follows:

Keepstar dropped. Vulnerable for 15 minutes. (happened yesterday)
Keepstar invulnerable for 24 hours.
Keepstar vulnerable, core not installed.
Core installed, keepstar vulnerable and onlining for 15 minutes. (we are currently here)
Keepstar fully online, all services operational, 3 reinforcement layers required for removal.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about the massive outnumbering thing.

The 80% seems to be going down at a steady rate, is is likely to slow down?

their tactics are to keep dropping Keepstars - they have either 16 or 1 left, more than likely the latter - and hope that we get bored of throwing subcaps into the meatgrinder of space we don't own. That's it. That's their plan

Ok I think that makes sense.
Just so I'm 100% clear:

1. Keepstar dropped. Vulnerable for 15 minutes. (happened yesterday) -- Attacking Structure
2. Keepstar invulnerable for 24 hours.
3. Keepstar vulnerable, core not installed.
4. Core installed, keepstar vulnerable and onlining for 15 minutes. (we are currently here) --Attacking Structure
5. Keepstar fully online, all services operational, 3 reinforcement layers required for removal. -- Attacking Shields, then Armor, then Structure

is that correct?

According to the stream Goons attacked during 3, and due to the foibles of the game, there wasn't a damage cap which has sped things up again.

Keep this up and you'll have to go on a diet.

But seriously, what would happen if the snek stopped for a month and pulled themselves together as a proper unified force with some half decent logistics behind them?

Would you guys be be able break out (if you wanted too) or would they be able to bottle you up?

Yes, i played years ago and vaguely remember the safety scale.

Considering it's not even reinforced, probably not. I imagine we probably just let that keepstar die if they attack it -- it's in period basis.

According to Dotlan, it hit level 3 four hours ago so they can jam it now regardless. Of course, we can still snap the hub any time we like

Ty for the replies.

I thought that if the ihubs on the D00m clock got to level 4 that meant that 1dq could be attacked by the snek superfleet which would be bad.

Imperium's blob continues to shrink on the map. How long till they destroy your capital system or whatever the victory condition is?

Imperium is executing a Battle of Thermopylae where they are shrinking down to a handful of extremely well defended systems, the first one being 1dq.

There they have built a grid that contains 20 odd stations including 5 keepstars.

For the pissbabies to win they need to break that.

It is unlikely they will be able to.

Longer term I think the plan is to break the will of the pissbabies and then push out and gain revenge, this is why PAPI have to keep this up. If they turn around now they will be harried all the way back to their home systems.

PAPI can't do a siege as goons have a massive bank and could probably turtle up for an age while attacking enemy back lines with alts.
