"Remove Jump Freighters, Introduce Force Freighters"

If at any given moment, N3 ping for all hands on dick supercarriers and capital ships, they will get more individual people in fleet than your entire coalition can combined on its very best day.

This isn't conjecture, this is something that has been proven again and again because your leaders like to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the game itself in favor of posting and posturing and writing tl;dr CEO updates about garbage that will never see the light of day (and if it does, the only place it will be is on the killboard of my alliance) instead of realizing that every capital and supercapital pilot with a pulse and a will to use their dread/super/titan/slowcat is gravitating towards one side because hey, guess what, that side actually DOES use their big toys on the regular and when push comes to shove as evidenced by the fight in DY- your alliance is literally impotent.

If a super 'fight' actually happens, it isn't going to be an actual fight, it is going to be a CFC gangrape hosted by Manny, Grath and Vince and you'll have no one to blame but your own leaders and FCs for being yes men faggots instead of growing a pair of balls and equipping some initiative.

The OP describes GSOL as “Truckers and construction workers in space,” which sort of suggests anyone can do it, but the reality (as I see it, not being in GSOL) is that it’s more like making the rounds with a set of master keys and doing tedious things with them.

If you are trading with a very small amount of money to start you can end up having not enough cash on hand to cover all of your outstanding orders (Margin Trading IV is the newbies friend). This means you have to sell off your stuff quickly, or you will bottom out and lose all of your orders.

I guess, but if you're really that desperate for liquidity, wouldn't it be a lot less work to just dump something on a buy order? Not all of the bid/ask spreads are that extreme, no?

Philonius posted:

Traders are not producing anything. They don't dump to buy orders, they are the buy orders.

That's the same logic as "I mined it, therefore it's free". If you put a value on your time, you're far better off selling to a buy than re-pricing every five minutes.

Philonius posted:

No, it's not.

If I have a 100 isk, and put up a buy order for that amount, and it gets filled, I now have that item and zero liquid isk.

I put up the item as a 150 isk sell order. That's how I plan to make money. Dumping to another 100ish isk buy order does nothing for me. That's the situation a newbie trader will be in. A bunch of buy orders, a bunch of sell orders, and very little liquid isk to move into more markets. So they 0.01 isk their stuff, in order to get a faster turnaround. If you're sitting on 100 billion of assets and orders, that's too much loving work.

You seem to think that you're disagreeing with me, but you're just restating my point. If your time has value, you don't reprice your order every five minutes.

Not to sound like a total loving newb (I mostly am because I stopped playing for 4 years); however, now that I am in Goonwaffe is there a loving primer for where I need to go and how I get my poo poo to null without it taking all week because of jump fatigue? I checked the goonwaffe forums/wiki but gently caress if I could find any information on this.


There's some decent info on the wiki at https://wiki.goonfleet.com/I%27ve_Just_Joined_Goonwaffe,_Now_What%3F (that page is probably more relevant for someone who's just installed the game, though)

Short version is that we live in Delve, the 1DQ Thetastar is the main market hub and AFK palace, and if your stuff is worth moving, there are jump freighter services advertised in the S-Mart section of the goonfleet forums.

Most of my stuff is worth moving, but I would probably leave a lot of it—I see no need to bring 40 bill in faction ships and fittings. My primary concern is moving multiple capitals out to delve.

I haven’t checked the jump distance yet, but I would love to be able to move my Thanatos and Moros in a single day, or over a couple of days. That said my Thanatos can probably handle all of the subcaps and fittings I would really need to set up, and I could buy the rest there.

Jump fatigue isn't as bad as it used to be, so this shouldn't be too painful. If you're moving stuff out of Deklein, the route isn't too bad since between GSF and INITdot we own a lot of stuff on the way. (We had a keepstar and a bunch of other structures in 6RCQ during the latest war up there, but I'm not sure if they're still around.)
