I spent way too much time playing this game and would recommend it to no one, but if you do play this game then definitely play in GoonWaffe so your niche expertise and autistic poopsocking can be exploited rewarded to maximum benefit!

STO space combat is super fun. I actually really like how that game plays, but I've read horror stories on what the end-game ship collection scheme is like. Apparently it's all ultra-low-chance lootbox bullshit to get special snowflake ship designs and the game even goes the extra gently caress you mile and includes "good luck protection" in its lootbox algorithm? I'd hate to put a bunch of time into that game only to hit that brick wall at the end of it all. :(

If you bought the lifetime subscription back in the day, you get a monthly allowance of freemium money that has always basically amounted to enough to buy whatever the newest thing is every few years when I give the game another look. If you didn't buy the lifetime subscription back in the day, then you do not have the all-important emote and I pity you.

in the context used above, grog is almost synonymous with poopsock(er), one who is willing to devote ridiculous amounts of time to stupid endeavours so much that they are unwilling to leave their posting station long enough to poop and so must relieve their bowels in a sock

The name "baltec fleet" comes from baltec1, a guy who used to bring a megathron on every fleet, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not. We still call it that even though the actual dude baltec1 joined the half of Bat Country that ended up leaving for Pandemic Legion.

i remember it being (i guess temporarily) given some other name in the immediate aftermath of the corp leaving for pl, cannot remember what

Baltecfleet, unless it has changed since I played, relies on a mix of Megathrons (and in some iterations also Apocalypses) supported by a handful of smartbombing geddons, some snowflakes who insist on bringing their techfleet TFIs, armour logi, and some armour ewar like point proteus (tech-3 brick tanked gallente cruiser), web loki (tech-3 brick tanked minmatar cruiser), and no less than a dozen assholes flying cynabals who refuses to get in a useful ship

Yeah, especially in a meta that appears to be preferring HACs like muninns, who have a small sig and an MWD bloom reduction bonus. I don't actually know if muninns are any good nowadays, but it seems like they are all that hostiles fly.

:member: when elo knight came on goonfleet comms that one time and somehow messed up his local bind so that instead of broadcasting to parent it broadcast to the entire server so everyone got to listen to a one-sided conversation of him regaling mittens with tales of his muninn adventures

Hey guys, so here is my situation, played a lot of eve betwen 2013-2015 in WH space had RL issues stopped playing, the group I played with all left the game as well, started playing again like 3 weeks ago doing lvl4 missions on alpha, Just wanna have a chill place to krab and post memes and talk poo poo, not really into the blob fights. Is this type of player profile wanted here with the goons? Your land is pretty safe and I'd like to krab and chill with you guys and eventually do some roams

Its not a waste of time. Your t1 frigate might seem useless, but it isnt. You can tackle, scout ahead, provide warp-ins, etc etc

Dont stop yourself from joining fleets and having fun because you think you have the wrong ship.

To expand on this a little bit, I'll tell you from personal experience I played in goonfleet for a couple years without ever flying anything more than a Rifter. Only after I got it in my head I wanted to be an FC did I start actually flying bigger ships. Back then, we gave out Rifters for free; I think Slashers are the thing nowadays. Being in something small and fast is a lot of fun. You don't care if you die, because you're in something that's literally free. And unless you're actually doing your job as a suicidal tackler, no one is even trying to kill you when you're on a battle grid in a t1 frigate. Being zippy and all over the place gives you some great visuals if you care about that sort of thing, and if some real life emergency comes up, or you just get bored with the fleet, being in something small and cheap also means you don't have to listen to the self-important man drunkenly slurring orders at you: just peel off and either burn home, or drop fleet, park in a safe spot, log off, and burn home later. Plenty of folks exclusively fly Interceptors, the t2 tackle frigates, specifically so they can be selfish assholes and do exactly this with a somewhat better chance of making it home blind (interceptors are immune to bubbles). If you want to actually feel useful, then being the first point on someone in a gate camp or in a fleet is tremendously beneficial since bigger, more specialized tackle ships (like a point proteus) take longer to lock targets; your tackle might be the reason your gang gets a kill, versus watching the enemy just warp away. And while you're not quite as good as an Interceptor at burning perches and providing warp-ins, you're still infinitely better at it in a t1 frigate than anything else besides an interceptor so you can still be useful at doing tactical big picture stuff. And if you get blown up, who cares? We hand out frigates literally for free, and even if we didn't they cost pennies compared to the price of line ships.
