So I'm currently in a corp that's just me and a couple friends. If I want to join Goonwaffe, can I drop to an NPC corp and then join, or do you still need to do the prepare to leave corp -> wait 24 hours -> get invite thing?

just bop up in a taxi and buy a ship in staging. contracts get regularly stocked, eagles are kinda expensive but that's because half of goonswarm has bought one.

definitely don't bother spending all the fuel to jump a cap all the way up on your own. any fights in this war are with subcaps, and I think it's 50/50 whether NCPL even brings a fight again. they got their win to brag about for the next 6 months.

Yeah good call. I didn't have anything much bigger than a Megathron to bring up there so I'll grab myself an Ares or something and hope I don't get caught in a bubble and fragged on the way up.

The parable of boiling a frog by slowly heating the water is also false. A frog that finds itself in water that is too hot to live in will go jump out long before it gets cooked.

The hardest of core EVE players have complained about PvE being carebear bullshit since the game launched and I gotta admit it's funny as hell to see that nearly 15 years later what we have is rats undocking en masse for bashes more often than half of the nullsec alliances do.

Mysteriously overnight NPCs got their poo poo together and started bashing structures and firing doomsdays and poo poo all over New Eden. At first it was thought to be a bug but CCP informed the community that it wasn't. They're enough of a potential problem that we'd literally be wasting less time playing this new and innovative form of emergency PvE than waging uncontested holy war in the North. TEST and Pandemic Horde have already lost minor structures to them.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time figuring how this will make things difficult for us. I mean, I don't know how we'd set up an out of game support system to replace local, but I also figure that there are more krabs than hunters and they can't possibly stop all of us, so... we just overwhelm them with fat goon corpses?

With the advent of upwell lossmail generators and standing fleets to bridge to them at a moment's notice, this is likely going to do very little unless you're ratting in a cruiser or something.

Ratting supers is more cost effective, but titans are a lot less effort, so you rat in a super and eventually get a titan and then rat in it because may as well use it and also not further strain your RSI

Eventually someone will write a bot that can listen to your FC in mumble and perfectly* respond to their orders, and then we'll never have to worry about RSI or playing EVE ever again!

(*the nature of machine learning~ will occasionally result in "switch target, primary is flaccid mccumpants" being interpreted as "align to logi anchor and fire bomb". this will still be an improvement over a number of players.)

The difference is enabling a real, documented form of psychological addiction AND tying it to microtransactions vs. people being loving stupid and losing internet pixels for it.\

Isn't that being overly dismissive of scamming though? It could also be described as a "real, documented form of predatory psychological manipulation" In fact, gently caress it- scams, tricks be damned this game encourages straight-up robbery of assets. I don't see how these raffles are anywhere near to being a new low standard for the ethics of Eve.

Players scamming players is an interpersonal badness. CCP enabling gambling addiction is an omnipresent higher power encouraging the proletariat to shank each other for a chance at a nice juicy mealworm.

I think globby's point is that the mortality rate for meltlung is something like 0.2% for anyone under 40 and only reaches whole percents at the 50-59 bracket so fanfest would be a pretty low risk event being that it's mostly people in the 0.2% mortality group. that's only twice the mortality rate of good ol' influenza.

intentionally attempting to traffic in infectious diseases is irresponsible, immoral, and probably illegal, and it's generally a good idea to avoid large gatherings when there's a new spanish flu on the loose; that being said, if you're gonna do it, do the whole world a favour and instead of infecting eve players, go sneeze at maga chud gatherings.

If by "jabber and mumble" you mean "not discord," it's because discord is third party. You can't control the servers, and the counterintel aspect of eve simply can't be done there. Also, it's relatively simple for a poorly-socialized, undershowered individual to get a discord server shut down by flagrantly abusing the ToS, then reporting the server.

Don't expect GSF to move to discord ever.

I recall that TEST moved to Discord a couple years ago and I wonder how that's going for them. One of my coworkers used to be their logistics director and I think he's still in their Discord regularly.

half-joke answer: don't do it you have so much to live for
less joke answer: hell yeah brother, everyone is pretty chill and there's always poo poo going on. goonwaffe has double repayment on lost poo poo so as long as you buy whatever fit a doctrine calls for on a stratop (really easy as you can almost always buy one pre-built on contract in 1DQ) the corp basically pays you to get killed (implants notwithstanding). let the fully automated luxury gay space communism into your heart
