Is this long enough ago that you were safe-logged in a POS or safe, or were you logged out in a Keepstar?

If the first, a lot has changed about fighters in the last decade, and supers with too many fighters in their bays are actually incapable of jumping. If that sounds like it might be a problem, try filing a GM ticket � they will likely move your logged off Aeon to a lowsec station for you so you can unfuck its fit and then undock and jump it somewhere.

Good luck, new thread.

Once things settle out I'll decide on a place for myself to go. I play very infrequently so the goonfleet retirement home was nice for not playing for 8 months and having a familiar place to resume in.

It might be helpful to include an overview of the different account types for old and new players, since that was another semi-recent change.

In typical "the first hit is always free" fashion, EVE now has two tiers of accounts:

Alpha - The free tier

Limited selection of ships, modules, and skills, but plenty of opportunities to cause mayhem

You gain skill points at a slower rate and can only train skills up to a certain level

Although you are not limited on how many accounts you can have, you can only be signed in on one Alpha account at a time

Omega - The paid tier

Faster skill training

No restrictions on ships, modules, and skills

You're able - and sometimes incentivized depending on play style - to run multiple Omega accounts at once

A good number of players do pay for Omega entirely in-game through income-generating activities like ratting, salvaging, industrial production, and even scamming other players.

CCP recently upped the Omega monthly subscription from $15 to $20, though they frequently run specials with steep discounts for longer subscription periods or multi-account discounts.

Accounts can go back and forth between Alpha and Omega status without penalty. Any Omega skills, ships, and modules you possess on your characters are simply locked out until you resubscribe.

Jesus this garbage game is $20/account/mo now?!?!

is it possible to enjoy wormholes with a single account? there were a lot of things i liked about eve but always hated the normalization of everyone having 3+ accounts. i quit playing after the last war and the price increased seemed like the final nail but i've never tried living in a wormhole.

I looked at the support page and it stated that they don't touch stuff with a jump drive but it has been logged out since like 2016 so was at a POS and probably can't jump etc... will raise a ticket and see. Thanks.

I did for years. You will need an eagle eye on D-scan and deep pockets to replace your inevitable losses, but it's doable.

if they're serious about change banning mittani is a start but that aint happening so "hey be aware of things and maybe dont join" is good advice

I hope the new CEO bans Mittani but the interim leadership doesn't seem interested, agreed. Their tenure is to be on the order of a week, so we'll see once the handoff is complete.

I'm willing to take what they say at face value for now. I don't like everything that has been announced (mostly that he isn't banned), but the people involved - theAdj, xttz, Atrum, etc. seem to be on-side and respected well enough?

Xenuria is banned, Innom is out, Mittens hasn't been on comms apparently in days. It's at least a minor improvement. Waiting for more evidence.

I mean you sort of vaguely know me, DT. Not always the smartest guy on comms, and I really think people can do better. But yeah, if new leadership doesn't ban Mittani for the whole Xenuria thing for starters... it's a failure to face facts imho..

He should already be banned by adj or merk or literally anyone with power, there's no excuse not to. gently caress "stability" its a dumb spaceship alliance that has weathered plenty of incredibly stupid poo poo before and it'll be fine or it won't, who fuckin cares. Anyone unwilling to ban him right now is either on his side or has their personal identity tied way too close to goonfleetswarm as an entity and is personally afraid.

Yeah, PLEXing an account also went up to 2 billion ISK/account around the same time. It was 600mil the first time I won EVE and around 1.2bil when I came back last year.

I'm incredibly thankful to past me for having the good sense to consolidate all my poo poo in 1dq so present me could dispose of it from there, rather than having to sub two accounts just to move my caps and JF to market.

The imperium is no longer connected to SA. People like Test and PL are not in the OP either. It�s nothing against the line members posting here that they got put on the poo poo list, but right now, today, for people jumping into game from SA, it�s a safety concern..

I think there's still merit in a group within GSF trying to influence things on the inside and helping it chart a new, better course away from the toxicity and harassment of the past. Nobody's asking you to add it to the OP, but I and others can tell you Am0k. is a bubble of safety and respect within the Imperium. Whoever said in the last thread that Am0k is a telegram-based group in the last thread isn't wrong lol.

Anyways, I'm just asking you to not tar Amok with the same brush that you're painting the rest of the alliance with, because we're not like that, but that's just my take as a regular ole line member.

People serious about effecting change would be raising merry hell until what deadtear posted gets done and should prob also be pushing for people yelling about cancel culture to follow Dear Leader out of the airlock. Can't say that seems to be happening but go ahead and prove me wrong?

The way for Amok not to be tarred with the same brush is to either take over so the island of good is the majority of the org, or leave and no longer be associated.

I mean it's not like SA of all places telling people not to join GSF is really going to have a measureable effect on recruitment to the alliance at this point.

It's a bit insulting to those SA posters who are still in CFC and who are apparently serious about effecting change. But until clear and convincing evidence is shown that a real seachange has happened, it's for the best, I suppose.

Edit: maybe don't recommend BRAVE so quickly from the feedback already either?

anyone still in gf who thinks that they can effect change is deluding themselves horribly
