I would consider actual inclusion to be leaving everyone the gently caress alone and letting them live the way they want to. This recent trend of "You disagree with X small thing means you're a bigot and we hate you" is just ludicrous.

Inclusion means the opposite of leaving people alone

You've missed my point like 5 times. The point is that "modern inclusion" seems to bring in topics that are well outside of what I would consider inclusion to be.

OK, I'm feeling a bit weird here, but I wanted to post about EVE, so I'm gonna ignore the dipshit posting drama going on.

Recently, I gave in to addiction and revived one of my old accounts again. I then spend an entire evening unfucking my awful overview and working on fits.

Can I say I love the Anathema? The little flying egg is the only covert-ops I could give some guns and tackle without compromising my exploration fits.

And needlejacks are the best. Sure, wormholes are great, too. But nothing beats the simplicity of taking your explorer and just beaming yourself to a random part of the map.

And then preparing a safe spot and logging out, because you spend all the free time of your day on overview settings. :lol:

I met a SPORK guy doing amarr plexes, after it finished i dmed him “wanna do the other novice now?” And then we spent the rest of the evening grinding plexes. It was fun, even if we didn’t talk much it did take the edge off of the grind.

Stopped playing not long after, but i think i friended him so maybe we shall see each other again someday.

A friend of mine who won eve a long time ago sponsored my SA account to get into goonfleet in like 2012. 120milsp main and 50milsp alt. Have plenty of assets and 1 super left. I came back for a year in 2019 when they did the blackout and lived in a c5. Any advice for returning player? Groons are not active in syndicate anymore and thats who I ran with the most.

Which area of space are you most interested in?

E: also where is your super, if its still in null you might wanna get that out by joining whichever group owns that space (if its safe in low ignore this part)

I have been interested in sov null but have never done it since 2009 right before drone wars

You can look into goonwaffe for big bloc or goosefleet for smaller stuff. They both have threads in PGS and are both good and pretty incomparable in terms of fun.

Another edit: hint hint if you wanna use your super you should probably join a bloc or a group that drops them a lot like anti krab coalition.

Yeah, you might have some trouble joining either with no posts, if you cant get into waffe you can join amok or karmafleet until you get some posts under your belt, then switch corps.

If you cant join goosefleet, then the only thing i can suggest is :justpost:

Those seem kind of interesting and desirable. Seems I could pop a filament in solitude and not have to worry about my astrahus being killed in a wormhole or probing every time I want to play

No, other than them being very hard they are polar opposites, primarily in that sleeper sites are the same every time, and the abyss is as random as possible.

Any advice for dealing with the interduction nullifier mod? How does a dictor pilot counter this? Or just accept it like on old cloaky tengus?

A bad pilot or someone not in a ceptor? Use a drag/stop bubble on the exit as well as a bubble directly on the entrance gate. A good pilot you will really struggle with, people who spend a lot of time on with expensive poo poo in nullified ceptors will be nearly impossible to catch in space theyre familiar with. Ie if youre trying to catch blazers, probably dont bother.

If youre more pve inclined i can confirm that Dragon. Are super chill and there is no bullshit allowed. They have very good rented space in cobalt edge with a great mining buyback system (especially for ice, which would be impossible to sell up there other wise) and you’re still an ESI member so you still get access to normal horde content with the best umbrella in the game.

ADM upkeep penalty when outside the timer window.

mmmmm… what do you mean? Like the adm goes down faster when its not in the ihubs time window? That doesnt address structure timers, unless you want to tie structure timers to ihubs, and even then i really couldn’t see that being a big deal for blocs who can easily rat up the adms anyways. That seems far more likely to harm small groups who may already struggle with them than anything.

Even if it somehow was significant enough to effect blocs and yet not kill off small groups (impossible) it wouldnt change timezone tanking in any way, because then youre just giving them even more power in their chosen time. Besides, it just makes it easier to attack the ihub, when most of the time spent is burning down structures.

I reckon doing something with the adm is a good start, but not whatever i think you meant.

One possibility could be a balance factor the game calculates based on number of pilots, combined total wealth (ships, modules, money, etc.), combined total skill points and a heavy modificator based on if they have people online or not, and make that balance factor adjust what the bigger group can do to the smaller group.

Like, if the bigger group is 10x+ stronger according to the BF, structures of the weaker group suddenly can't be destroyed, if it gets even more uneven, the weaker group doesn't take damage anymore, etc.

Would be a neat way to just discard all those weird timers everywhere.

Thats an interesting idea, but sounds like people would find a way around it or to abuse it. And if its giving complete or significant amounts of invulnerability at scale then people definitely will.

would just result in the bigger groups spreading out even more to lower how much each system gets used

Its… actually not the worst idea, surprisingly. Id say null blocs trying to actually take some space is better than them sitting in their fortresses and never moving, plus many alliances probably already have enough space to negate that. Also its effect on renting would be interesting, now i like renting, but it definitely would add another layer to it.

I hope there is some ccp community person with an sa account to see all our brilliant ideas
