nessin posted:I'm sort of the other way around. I'm sort of waiting through it while training to see how the market settles out but right now it's way too much effort to make money to feel comfortable doing the actual fun stuff for a phone game, if I wanted to put in that much effort I'd rather be playing Eve Online. On top of that while Echoes smooths out a significant chunk of the problem with EO, it just doesn't have the same level of satisfaction when things actually work out, but then again that may change once I can afford to fly and lose a decent ship on a regular basis. Just get a free Coercer II and blow things up and take people's stuff (or run missions) until you can buy a bigger ship. The whole point of MEAN's existence is to get goons into ships.

Squashing Machine posted:Commiefleet sounds like a really tedious way to run something that already seemed to be working pretty well, but what do I know, I'm just a space chud Based on how long the wall of text was when it was first suggested, it really sounded like people who wanted to play more casually for shorter sessions weren't having fun because they weren't playing long enough to get their missions run. Commiefleet seems like a perfectly good way to make sure people don't feel like they're "wasting their time" if their book doesn't get run.

If you see a pubbie trying to run high-sec anoms, you really should destroy the base they're camping, to help keep prices good for Goons. Relatedly, if you see a pubbie in low-sec, you really should destroy their ship to help keep blueprint prices up.

We've been having pretty decent luck on drops from killing people in M-OEE8, which also happens to be where our miners like to go to eat rocks, since it's only 1 jump from Taisy and has spod (spod is good because it turns into trit and pyerite, which we need a ton of for making ships). It's the #standing-fleet channel in discord. Check out the scrollback and if it looks like something you'd enjoy, you are highly encouraged to grab a few friends whenever you feel like it and kick some unauthorized miners out of our belts. Also, the miners will love you for it.

HIS HONKER WAS BROKE or Perhaps the Real Scam was the Friends We Made Along the Way    So, while in a ratting fleet that was farming for deadspace spawns in one of the dead-end systems off the horseshoe, I sold a pubbie a mining permit for 10 million isk, with the idea being that he could buy a mining permit for himself and his corp could buy more mining permits for more isk to, I dunno, get a security detail around so they don’t get murdered while being dumb unprotected miners in nullsec or something. He sounded really interested in it and was even genuinely grateful that we were too busy farming anomalies to bother hunting around a bunch of belts looking for a single boring miner to kill. But his corp leader was a little bit less naive than he was and didn’t want to just contract over 50 million isk to some random rear end in a top hat one of his corp members met in local, which, fair enough. I wouldn’t do that either. But why settle for 10 million when a little more effort can get a bigger fish on the hook for 50 million? So I posted in the discord a 2.5 million bounty for the first 3 people to bump into him accidentally and spare his mining life while saying something that acknowledged he purchased a mining permit, as a "please let me scam his corp" bribe. It turns out, Rytheric was already known to us as being pretty chatty and friendly, and ten million when you’re doing deadspace ops is… not even a lot. Alligator Tower here was very prescient, guess that’s why he’s head of diplo and on the leadership council:  As part of this gimmick, I also told Rytheric to honk in local if he saw us, so that we would know not to murder him. And honk in local he did:   He even congratulated us when Jazz finally made the alliance for us (third time’s the charm).  And all of that was working. The honking was funny and it was successfully convincing the flock, “this funny-looking thing must be a gosling, maybe I shouldn’t murder it”. The mining permit? Still fake. The safety? Well… that was looking pretty real, and a Venture II’s worth more than 10 million. That’s what people say, anyways. I wouldn’t know because I don’t pay for ships. This fake mining permit, or possibly real protection racket, was delivering so much safety, in fact, that when Rytheric’s friend Airbrat got himself killing in a mining operation, Rytheric asked around and got referred back to me so that he could buy Airbrat a fake mining permit too.   Of course, as part of this he also had to teach Airbrat how to honk in local.  Unfortunately, tragedy struck. Airbrat disconnected after an angry goose honked at him in system and was unable to honk back in time to show that he was a cute gosling and not an unauthorized miner.    HIS HONKER WAS BROKE I was busy but other goons (thanks Blessed Blake, thanks Ch4ot1cEv17, thanks thezanke except for the part where you killed him but also that was funny too) quickly did damage control once they realized that someone had squished a maybe-gosling.     After that, I didn’t have the heart to keep the ruse going. I told him what was up and sent him the info for our diplo team. I also gave him some advice on how not to get scammed again and encouragement to keep honking for mercy and maybe offer tribute to particularly bloodthirsty geese. He took it quite well. Honestly, it sounded like the part that made him the most sad was that all this being a scam meant his corp wasn’t going to have security on a mining op they were hoping to do later.    And even after all that, he was cool and chill in our local.  As the Catgirl Trade Consortium says: There’s plenty of targets to gank even with one cute naive corp blued.  I have handed them off to (real) diplo hands now. And maybe one day...

Their FC didn't even sort by name or properly call any targets. This was so funny. I'm so glad they streamed themselves.

When getting ready for a fleet, leadership will post what ship to use and what fittings to use on it. This is referred to as a fleet doctrine. If you don't have the ship or fittings, acquire them -- currently, we have ships but not modules easily available, so you'll need to buy the fittings yourself (or get them contracted from another goon) and go pick them up and put them on your ship. To join a fleet, be in the staging station (usually Taisy) during form-up time. Usually the announcement will say when we leave, so be ready and in the staging location several minutes before then. You can save your fittings (top-left corner of the fittings screen) to make it easier to refit a new copy of it in the event that you get blown up. Red means bad. Green means good. If the gate is red, do not jump through the gate. If you get targeted (the enemies on your overview screen will have a yellow box around them), warp away and then come back. Don't bring anything you can't afford to lose. Don't be sad when you get blown up.

Banana Factory posted:None of this was a problem for any of the many iterations of these drama filled corps until you or whoever took over and suddenly it is. Anyways, I would be in the alliance right now also if you accepted the regular SA auth that I did with the bot, but I clearly did not pass the additional goon culture purity tests. Looks like you kicked one of the previous CEOs last night too, and you probably didn't even know who he was either. It's because we spend a lot of ingame resources on providing free things to people, and giving them to people who don't play with us and don't hang out with us is expensive. I need those minerals saved so that when I welp my maller by falling asleep during a story mission, the corp can give me another one for free  .No one cares about Second Galaxy and no one cares about the CEOs in that game. 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.

I’m p sure the mission running channel is not opsec and is meant to be shared with friendlies (and SonBanana’s EO Goonswarm Guild members are blue to us), so you can definitely keep running missions with people if you don’t show your rear end so much that you get yourself banned or whatever.
