The Mittani-is-banned ad got me to click, so good job.

Still not coming back to EVE, but good luck with the exterminationing, Goonfriends - hope you're all having fun

The last BPC I heard of selling went for 40b. The last one built I saw on contract was 65b. It has a corpse bay to store the corpses of the people I've failed to heal. The alt is named Sort Dagon

Oh, I didn't know there are pirate FAXs now, I just thought you had some bonkers fit on a random FAX that cost that much. That's nuts.

ccp finally killed highsec freighter ganking with the bumping nerf

end of an era, it got me trillions in scams

it's been a few years so i figured i would check in with this thread to see what's going on, and this is the post i read.

globby this saddens me to hear, i am sorry. but i look back on our times together with fondness and remembrance. you taught me a lot, mostly about mach bumping and how to be a better sociopath.

does this mean jita will no longer burn, ever again?

1001 Arabian dicks posted:

seeing as you can only bump a target for less than 3 minutes at a time, queueing up targets for a gank fleet is pretty much impossible. i'd be surprised if a burn jita even happened, and if it does the isk value destroyed is going to be very low relatively

likewise, the easiest way to get a mark on comms to bonus room was bumping freighters. gone are the 12 hour days of me emptying out this guy's 400b wallet, or taking a corporation with 7 sotiyos

truly the end of an era :(

I still remember my ICQ number even though my friends and I switched to AIM and then IRC in high school.

Can't remember someone's name half the time no matter how many times I silently yell at myself not to brain-fart it away, but an arbitrary number I haven't needed in 20 years is instant recall.

Boy this hit me hard. Still remember my 8 digits. I had to get that one after I lost the password for my 6 digit ICQ number, rip. Way back when, people were willing to shell out hundreds of dollar for a 6 digit one.

Hmm, apparently the trig invasion has hit Niarja which is a chokepoint between the two biggest high sec trading hubs of Jita and Amarr.

I'm guessing this will annoy a lot of people and probably kill a lot of bot traders.

Trigs just wanted to take over freighter ganking from CODE

(Amarr is 9 jumps from Jita. The shortest Highsec route that ignores Niarja is 45 jumps... I think a lot of freighters are going to take the Niarja gambit. Truly a Kobayashi Maru scenario)

Just joined back up on PC after playing the mobile version. Probably been asked before, but why is goonfleet still using jabber/mumble? It seems like you could transition over to discord and have it combine the two. With discord bots I'm sure it could be as secure as the current system?


Guessing it would probably be a big undertaking and why change something that isnt broke.

Wait, what are these “destroyer” ones ??

T2 destroyers that can fit links and can also micro-jump other ships in a small circle a few hundred km away from the rest of the fleet

edit: looks like links are no longer offgrid, sheesh is that awkward?

I had no issues getting my JU- stuff out of lowsec in a lovely T1 indy, nobody was on the undock and there were like 3 people in system.

At the risk of saying something incorrect... You should bring your Rifter to any and every fleet you see pinged.

I figure after 4 years it's time for me to lose Eve again, so I've reapplied (I think?)

So back when I quit I was beginning to train for Archon ratting, and for whatever reason (skill goo maybe?) already have JDC-V. Now that I'm back, it turns out I was a LOT closer to a Capswarm ready Revelation than I thought! Really excited to fly a Bhaalgorn as well when Baltec's get called. All that 2016 Nightmare training and Incursion isk really paid off!

It's 2020 and I'm excited to play EVE Online again, holy smokes.

Don’t get me wrong it isn’t the best name for a coalition of coalitions to be called. But I think it’s hilarious hence why I use it so much here.

From what I have seen far more imperium use it than actual members of legacy PanFam...etc.

I'm just shooting from the hip here, but I think goons are making fun of you for it and the members of legacy are embarrassed by it

Again, pure conjecture on my part.

I just want to get a little more into this, for the sake of creating an understanding. Goons traditionally make fun of silly things. People being made fun of for doing silly things are sometimes embarrassed by it.

I hope this provides some further clarity into my thought processes on this matter.

Well that's no good.

I'm rather asset heavy but ISK light at the moment, at least relative to what I can fly. Should I be looking to position stuff to jump down before taking the mark of the beast, or just expect to take the pod express and look to pick up the pieces down there?

I just came back to Goons and everyone above me is right - the 1DQ market is hilariously well stocked with modules and ships and for anything we use on fleets the prices are cheaper than Jita (and to a lesser extent, contracts - recommend using the "Auto Buy" option instead to save some money)

Freight costs using shipping services to 1DQ are higher now than in the past - really recommend ditching anything and tossing them in Jita/Perimeter.

Enjoyed dying for the swarm in my first fleet back, hell yeah I had fun in EVE tonight! https://zkillboard.com/kill/87328603/

Losing ships is literally the highest form of krabbing in GoonWaffe.

This is 100% confirmed and as always it is awesome.

With the changes to jump clones (and not having a 20-24 hour timer when switching from learning implants, easily my favorite change since I last played in 2016) I've been going on any little fleet I have time for, and actively making isk while padding my meaningless killboard.

Hoping to see some more action this week!

Be careful on recommending newbies training into interceptors. FC's apparently loath people who want to fly interceptors in fleets that dont know how or don't want to be a scout.

There are ares fleets though for specific objectives, but they form super fast, are often capped at like 20 people, and aren't exactly newbie friendly.

You probably better more mileage out of flying a harpy right now.

This. Ares is the mainline ship of Dramafleets for entosis fuckery, but I agree Assault Frigates are pretty spiffy and should be a pretty quick train.

I am getting insane amounts of money from goons now that I'm actually in. I feel kind of bad because I'll use it to buy expensive ships + equipment that will immediately get blown up.

On the other hand, we apparently have some sort of insurance fraud scheme going where getting blown up is actually good? Makes me feel a bit better about the whole thing.
