Multiple leadership changes, lowsec and nullsec are the wild loving west, memes everywhere, the game being played both inside and outside of the actual client, seriously: this really has it all and is the complete EVE experience on the toilet. Even with the questions about travel interdiction, missiles, bad corporation UI, server issues, it's just unreal how much Netease and CCP got right in this implementation. I'm really looking forward to a lot of the EVE stuff that still has ships in the client being implemented (full ewar, exploration, etc) because I'm so curious as to just how big this thing can really get.

And just to point out: the pew remains incredibly good.  That's the CEO of a corp whose defense/ratting fleet we had mauled a couple hours prior getting his 130m+ Thorax popped when he came back into a Scout deadspace he had previously evidently failed to clear and ran right into the Big McHuge/Master42/Lucca D. Woodchipper Going Brrrr. This was just the capstone to an evening of dozens of ships getting popped for literally no goon losses at all. I think Big would have the fullest accounting of everything we killed on that one roam (and he was responsible for a lot of it). Get in, go honk. This game is stupidly fun for a mobile title.

Radio Free Kobold posted:i could tell you that, but i would be lying. I've gotten something like ten times more kills nervously playing this while slammed with work over the past three weeks than I got in fifteen years of playing Online. It's complete anarchy out there and [HONK] is quickly assembling the resources to let you, the common honker, blow terribly fit people up. Absolutely get in here.

orange juche posted:Are bomb launchers and bombs actually in EE? if so, we could get up to some real fun poo poo. Decloaking 10 SBs off of a belt full of mining ventures and just exploding all of them at once Bombs are not in yet, but the "lower tier" bomber now has a bonus to medium torpedoes (basically HAMs) and they absolutely rip up anything bigger than a frigate.

The Shortest Path posted:I think there's a really good point to be made that travel should be safe in toilet eve, but holy moly these meltdowns over it are something else. Yeah, I mean, stealth makes a good point but I also did kind of like how safe it was even in null. But holy moly the people losing their minds over it are something else again. And it's not like lowsec isn't incredibly safe on gates and stations still.

Rynder posted:Saw a cringy reddit post about EO where some guy is furious that he got that goondor Mittani email and he's gonna resub just to fight against them. And the rest of the comments are invoking GDPR... all the while it was an automated email from the forums that they got a PM? Jesus people are dumb. Actually, I give EO Goons pretty good odds of at least driving away the pubs after an even bigger Titan welp than the previous ones (which will hopefully clean some of the drat things out of the game for a bit). They have some serious loving infrastructure in place in Delve's core systems, especially 1DH, and taking sov from them is going to take literally forever. And then there's the fact that some of the pubs are already getting bored and not really bothering to show up to structure bash (TEST is especially bad about this). Mittens is mostly trying to get as many folks in as possible to have some insurance, but even the existing EO crew can probably handle things and pull out a big W and oceans of opposition tears. Still, this is the EE thread, not the EO one.

Yeah, like, I'm absolutely down with the lowsec guns being hilariously lethal. Lowsec gate camps were always the actual boring nonsense of Online for everyone involved. It always felt weird that lowsec was "null, but with a few annoying guns and number go down if you're a baddie" rather than "yeah you can kind of hide in lowsec and do poo poo off the beaten path, but if you just walk up to The Man you're going to get your cloaca remodeled". I'm not even entirely unsympathetic to some of the autopilot stuff (and it's made me a lot more careful about taking my Maller into null) but it's really a necessary step if they want the nullsec territory game to be A Thing in Echoes. It is what it is and we'll adapt. Now, the real question you might want to ask is why it took four weeks into launch to change it after the problem was evidently reported on extensively in the beta phases...

Rynder posted:I don't know about the newest autopilot change were it waits for you to load in. Everything is so much slower now. It's rather discouraging in that it is addressing the entirely wrong problem. People didn't want to "wait for load", they wanted to never be camped ever. They were dying before load because they were idiots.

And yeah, tonight was...quite special. It was the first time we truly deployed with the full force of geese for the purposes of shooting people. We ended up not being able to because the opposition was so incompetent that our allies were more or less fine on their own, but we both got some practice in during the mining op defense beforehand and hunting down a few stragglers. The gooseflock fully deployed as a thing of majesty.  And then, later on, we got to put a few thru the uprights as we helped the citadel through its shield repair timer. All in all I was real happy to see so many geese turn out tonight; I'm glad I had a chance to make it myself. I wish we'd had more to shoot but it was still a great time and we got a ton of folks in highly replaceable ships. And our allies in VVV clearly appreciated us showing up and our honks.  Echoes has been a great time so far and I can't wait to see what we get up to next.

esto es malo posted:red/gs was way different than this, they brought out a ton of trainers with for quick insurance reimbursements and we had a fleet of omens, both viable and cool and good. its not like we were all in rifters and they had dreads The "using trainers and can-yues because we uniquely have a space station in this system and can thus instantaneously reimburse lost hulls and re-equip in seconds to get back out there and bury our opponent in ships" strat was brilliant, as a side note. That's some seriously great strategy for this stage of the game and would've made that Astrahaus assault even more of a meat grinder for the attackers than it was to start with. Anyone who wants to take out VVV's home sweet home is going to have to bring an extremely dedicated fleet, with backup available, to do it. But yeah VVV and us are definitely on equal footing. We ourselves would plop down a space groverhaus but Taisy is just too ridiculously convenient to basically all of Tribute to even bother right now.

bee tee doubles: if you join right now, you'll still get the 200k bonus for the end-of-first-month celebration. when you combine this with the 500k you get in the "join a corp" quest, this is enough to immediately take you to Tech 5. So right now is a pretty good time to sign up.

Maybe if you're big in the Second Galaxy community and that's important to you, you should go play with people who care about that.  The writing is on the wall and Second Galaxy is going almost certainly close service, or at least conclude English service, within the next twelve months so everyone is looking for a different spacegame

Meanwhile, I know a lot of people don't want them in toilet EVE, but... I kind of do want capitals to get introduced, because I really like the visual design of the Amarrian capitals and I want to fly them.  Let me rock around in my Rev or my Archon or even my Aeon. We can leave the Avatar, tho.
