"I can't help but view all those pretentious historical quotes in the OP through the lens of our own historical disdain for people that overused quotes from people in history." - Sun Tzu But yes, come play eve with us. As a goon you are basically the a space trust fund baby, enjoying all of the trappings of a high class lifestyle while having to do virtually none of the work to own it. Doing that work however is encouraged and rewarding (Some of the most fun I had was in late 2012, shepherding a small gang group into success). The reason we run this space empire is so that goons are virtually free of obligation to chase down whatever path they wish in the game. We are virtually unique in the galaxy (Save for those alliances that built on our own model) of not having things like red pen CTAs, and alarm clock ops which are bullshit and unfun.

Now if someone's just combating the gurristas menace during 100% of their playtime in Eve, I'd agree with you. But scouts, logistics, blackops and reavers are all probably looking at you like you are dumb right now.

ChickenWing posted:Laudable, but also the reason topgoon is in its current state, because that's what -everyone- in topgoon wants (including the leadership sometimes The issue with topgoon is the current USTZ leadership consists of Kincaid (Never logs in to do stuff with topgoon), Chickenwing (Never logs in to do stuff with topgoon), Guuldan (Probably dead), and that guy who thought pipeclogging meant hotdropping on gates next to enemy staging systems (I.e. he dumb). This leaves you with Soth as the only active leader, he's in EU TZ, and he thinks the Cynabal is on par with or better than the Orthrus/Gila (So basically another idiot). Just nix the squad already or merge it with SV and be done with it, provided you get along with Koshka (He's easy to get along with) and don't let Johnny Rah in, it should be a smashing success.

AAPsel posted:You aren't going to make a meaningful contribution as a line member in a fleet of over 20. 80 man fleets have the added bonus of pubbies making GBS threads up coms constantly. Space violence and Topgoon both offer engaging, small scale fights and they are accessible. Holesquad and Blackops are cool too but those require more effort on your part. Join one or all and never look back. To expand on this: SV and Topgoon are both fairly small gang, blackops would be more what people describe as "Microgang" with fleets usually not topping 10 characters (And half of those being neutral scouting alts). Because of this blackops tends to be very picky about what ships you bring. Currently blops is camping MOA into stations which sounds about as engaging as watching wallpaper dry. Hopefully fozziesov will net us more interesting things to do.

CommonShore posted:Yeah the new topgoon plan is not just where to learn to PVP, it's where to learn to FC:. The idea is that they want to maintain a small group of experienced but low-ego pilots so that a new skirmish commander can figure out how poo poo works with people around to back him up, and so that new players can find an instant action button. Staging would just be main fleet staging, and assignments like "pipe cleaning" would often be performed by Topgoon fleets. Soth is in leadership gridlock, he just became aware that discussing things does not make things happen. I'm forwarding useful people to him before he asks me to be responsible for anything.

Dr. Pangloss posted:Based on what they do to commercial bacon, that premium is worth it. You can then take the belly and lovingly coax it into being the proper form of bacon or pancetta or whatever goodness you choose. Yeah butcher shop style bacon beats the living poo poo out of anything you'll find in the supermarket. Fortunately for me I work right next to a local pig farms shop, so I can get fresh butchered pig product year round, and it's all quality cut as opposed to the dregs which I assume are sold to the supermarkets. I mean I never really liked pork chops till we bought some from this place.

Xolve posted:There's less than 5 people worth dealing with in BL, the rest are hand-held ex-TEST shitlers riding on in game history and achievements they had nothing to do with. See 'Against All Authorities 2014' for more information. BL hasn't been worth a poo poo since a certain corp left. And -A- 2014 is hilarious. Literally made up of their old SCDOT cast offs including the dregs of battlestars. Topgoon alone with no more than 16 pilots had them bottled up in their space terrified to leave their staging system (BL was hired to buck them up and proved highly ineffective) until PL came along and finished them off. I still remember when PL had a fleet on one side of one of their jump bridge and we were on the other bombing the hell out of reinforcements trying to jump in/then trapping and bombing the leftovers of their fleet when they tried to run home (Because they couldn't get reinforcements).
