If it started with a Falcon being denied, then its about a falcon being denied.
Any further denial of this claim will be seen as further proof that the falcon denial started it all.

Like if I had the option to team up with PL to kill Horde or team up with Horde to kill PL, it would be a rather easy decision.

CainFortea posted:

Lets try a thought exercise.

If PL can't adjust to the meta of "you actually have to be in your space to make money off of it", perhaps you can name a group that was able to adjust to this meta and thus is in a better position than PL?

Just, you know, name someone that comes to mind...

Our propaganda machine is in danger of becoming bored because the North is doing all the work for us.

Like here I was all ready to spin losses and so on but we just keep on winning and at this point pretty much the only propaganda to be written is "uh yeah we are ... we're still just winning all the time."

Yay today is new ship day! Today I finally finished the training I needed to fly a Black Ops Battleship I squirreled a Sin away for this day that I managed to pick up cheap on the second hand market. I have got to say its quite a cool ship. I have honestly wanted to fly one of these for forever, but it never seemed practical. The hull is basically just a Dominix (slightly different in a few ways, but not much). It can fit a cloaking device and has bonuses to that, but I'm a bit disappointed it can't fit a Covert Ops cloak. Its the name of the ship for crying out loud! But more importantly it has a Jump Drive! I can already fly a carrier with a jump drive, but this little fella gives it to me in a battleship package. I can also carry this ship around in a carrier and have two jump drives at my disposal I suppose? It can also fit a "covert jump portal generator" which is like a Titan bridge, but I don't have the skills for that just yet.

I decided to fit it basically just like a Dominix. I went with a double shield and armor tank, because its feels a bit squishy after sitting in my Super Carrier. I didn't go for blaster or railgun, I thought energy neutralizers would do a better job (this is how I do my Dominix as well). For drones I am using Geckos and Ogre IIs. They are expensive, but I mean the ship is worth a billion anyway so why not live a little? Is this a good fit for a Black Ops? I don't have much in the way of reference, most sites don't give much advice for fittings. I think the ships are very situational.

and this is actually the only way to do it since you can't forcibly capture upwell structures, you can either explode them or convince the owner to give them to you (this is what is happening here)

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Amarr Navy, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Delve, and I have over 300 titan kills. I am trained in covops warfare and I'm the top bomber in the entire nullsec. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this galaxy, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over jabber? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across nullsec and your clones are being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the band of developers and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the galaxy, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

I am a vactioned member that has recently joined a boring wormhole corp. I thought it would be fun, unfortunately I realise that at my core I am a kamikaze, frigate pilot, that likes to tackle things.

I recall there being a goon structure in place for events like this. I cannot remember where exactly. I remember there being a goon specific forum with this information, but I could be wrong.

Good. gently caress Hard Knocks.

I've both fought them and flown with them a couple times in the past. They're a pile of entitled, lazy fat-cat elite PvP shitstains whose mere existence is one of the major causes of C5+ wormhole space becoming a loving wasteland of sexless krab renters and fuckheads who never fight without complete, overwhelming advantage.

It's about time someone shits in their Cheerios, and I couldn't be happier it's the biggest bully in the playground doing it. I only regret that I may not be able to put my name on the killmails.

gently caress Hard Knocks and their rentier sensibilities. gently caress their allies and pets. Burn them all.

It was implied that since I lived under a previous goon dictator i’m trying to ‘change’ goon culture,any further discussion of which usually leads down the rabbit hole of nugoon/trugoon arguments which have been flogged to death. Exchanging opinions on the gam’s changed dynamic is not the same as going on a ideological crusade to save goondom from the tyranny of cheap titans and massive space wealth.

I accept all things evolve, i’m simply trying to understand where I best fit in to the new meta - be it in GSF, init, test or PL.

Finally made it to Delve. Does someone know a source of good fits for a Thanatos--specifically if I am going to use it for killing rats? I am struggling with the notion of shooting at NPCs with no active tank on any ship, and all the fits on the goonfleet forums appear to be fleet doctrine fits.

I guess I can play around with PYFA and or the fitting tool, but I am terrible at fits and all of my old fits are 6+ years old and terribly out of date.

It seems like every day I play this game I run into Goonswarm members autistically screeching about how they are the best at the game, how everyone else sucks, etc. I could understand cockiness if the matchups in warfare were even or almost even in terms of power, fleet numbers, or other comparable statistics. Being able to win a fight would be a reflection of the skill of the fleet commanders and the people playing the game. This could not be further from the case though. Through actions, both legal and illegal, Goonswarm has been able to seize control of the game.

1) They have set up a botting empire. While I do realize that not every single Goonswarm member is a botter, it would be foolish to say that they do not welcome botters in with open arms. Of course, when it becomes obvious that a corp is populated by botters Goonswarm takes action (think TNT the other day). By harnessing the power of bots they have built their alliance to the point it is currently at (after all who can compete versus hundreds of rorquals mining 23 hours a day in terms of sheer economic output).

2) They have taken advantage of CSM privileges to push their agenda forward. While not technically against the rules, this is against the spirit of the game. Goonswarm and company account for around half of the members of the annual CSM group. As a member of this group they receive inside information about the future of the game that allows them to better position themselves and their alliance for future success.

3) Some members of Goonswarm use their positions as moderators on this subreddit to instantly silence any criticism of their alliance. Olmeca was not lying when he said that moderator abuse on behalf of Goonswarm is an issue. I have had countless posts be deleted with zero explanation for the mods. Coincidentally these posts all highlighted the issues with the rampant botting in Goonswarm among other things. In fact I'd be willing to bet 20 billion ISK that this post is pulled down within 30 minutes of posting.

4) They made way too big of an alliance. In almost any fight against Goonswarm you are going to be severely outnumbered. This is because they alone are an alliance with 35,000 members (according to DOTLAN). Out of the top 11 alliances by population, 6 are allied with Goonswarm. By adding up the numbers on DOTLAN you can see that between 2/3 to 3/4 of the Sov controlling alliance population belongs to Goonswarm. While this does include alts, you would be a fool to believe that anybody has the numbers to contend.

TLDR: Goon leadership supports botting, CSM privileges are abused by Goonswarm members, mods of this subreddit who are also in Goonswarm defend their practices, and they outnumber pretty much everyone else in the game combined in null. Not much to brag about now, is it?

You're almost certainly baiting but it does bring up an interesting point. The build time on all the components for a palpatine is massive. You couldn't do it with one person -- you'd have to get dozens, maybe hundreds of industrialists in on the action, and you'd have to hand each one hundreds of billions worth of poo poo. How do you prevent theft?

Proteus are the best. I can't stop collecting them. I've got over 2 dozen now and I don't even really do anything with them except fly around wormholes looking at stuff.

New players starting to carrier rat want the thanatos for the increased fighter bay size. Also, don't poo poo fit your rigs, max speed does nothing when you aren't doing max damage.

Lastly the diminished return on the 5th anything rarely justifies the cost. Hop in 7g comms on mumble we can get you sorted.
