The game changes quite often, so even fittings from 2-3 months ago might not work or be particularly relevant. Nobody is going to complain if you ask in here for some up-to-date fittings for a particular ship or play style, or a critique on a fitting you created. e: is the Goonfleet wiki completely toast at this point? Is it not maintained because nobody reads it, or because there's nobody to maintain it?

Generally, if it's a ship that's used in a mainfleet doctrine, it stays somewhat up to date. Everything else gets left to rot. Pretty much everyone that was interested in curating our wiki got burned out during our attempt at Confluence.

CashEnsign posted:Was this something to do with LODRA? Solo got the hook-up with a free license to some Atlassian products. Confluence has much more robust user access controls than mediawiki, which we hacked some very primitive security into via checking the forums login cookie (aka completely insecure to anyone that knows what they're doing). So the switch would make our wiki use the ESA login system, nice and easy. Confluence also was proclaimed to be much easier to use because it has WYSIWIG editing and better file upload capabilities etc etc. Of course, none of that poo poo worked. The ESA login was full of problems. It was rejecting people based on groups, by spaces in their name, or some random poo poo that nobody had the time to fully troubleshoot. So some percentage of people could just never get in. The WYSIWYG editor sucked a massive pile of dicks to use, whether because of the java backend or lovely browser code I don't know. Editing any big long article, which the goonwiki is full of, made me want to blow my brains out. I think at least file upload worked, but can't I remember. So the old wiki -- which was already out of date after surviving the moribund Delve year and then the chaotic Syndicate months -- was sitting unused because it was gonna get deleted when Confluence took over. But Confluence was aids to work with and the big switch kept getting put off due to the unsolved login problems. Mittani finally declared the whole thing a failure so that people would use the old wiki that actually worked, but by then most of the goons who Cared About Wikis had completely burned out. Thus the wiki's current state which is full of great stuff from 2008 and random FA publords ratting fits. The moral of the story is that Enterprise Software is poo poo that people will tolerate when being paid to work with it. Otherwise it needs to

Ullerrm even if your fits are a couple of months out of date they'd still be a step up from all the fits that predate dominion.

Better to have something simple that people will actually use, than something complex and powerful that everyone goes For non-doctrine stuff, nobody cares enough to steal them anyway. Goonfleet's wiki was the best source of good fittings and fitting philosophy for like 5 years, and despite being riddled with spies, only one little group (the terrible blackops-wannabes that came from the alliance we kicked out of Scalding Pass in 2006) ever copied our stuff-- and even then they only copied it once, and never updated their fits as the metagame completely changed around them.

Or the repair tool, although recently that's taken to deleting your eve install so you have to reinstall. Although realistically none of these will work, you should be playing in windows mode anyway for easier access to better games.

I thought the fixed window mode was pretty cool for being full-screen-but-still-a-window, but it's not worth loving with over the title bar up top on the normal window mode. Speaking of , is there an archived thread in the goonfleet forums for the whole delete boot.ini debacle? I'm pretty sure it'd be funny as gently caress.

I had a similar problem and chalked it up to eve "binding" itself to a certain monitor. Yeah retarded, but honestly you probably want to play in Windowed mode given how much this game relies on outside programs, utilities and also how boring it is.

Set eve to windowed mode, put it on the screen you want it to be on 2. Quit, restart. 3. Problem will hopefully be fixed. 4. If not, try changing back and forth with the display adapter dropdown.

Part of it might have been related to seemingly half of our allies/alliance not being able to access it most of the time, so most pages had to be maintained on both the wiki and confluence just to make sure everyone who needed to see it could see it. At that point, what's the point in confluence if everyone can already use the wiki?
