Hi! My name is CainFortea and I'd like to take a moment in this thread made by Good Poster Endie to tell you about when I joined Goonswarm. I joined back in 2006, when it was just Goonfleet. Since then I've noticed that my hair is thicker, I got a promotion at work, and I'm more able to satisfy my partner. You may think this isn't a game for you, but you would be surprised at how easy it is to try it out! Thank you for your time.

darth cookie posted:Not really since it hasn't actually been implemented yet and we don't know how it's going to play out. Nobody is really sure if it's going to revitalize the space-game of thrones or if its going to be some hilariously bad whack-a-mole type situation. Safe bet will be option two. Which is good for us, politically. Until and unless CCP starts increasing Nullsec income or decreasing the higher highsec incomes, there's still no reason to live in 90% of the space that we don't own.

Man, Fozzie is really reaching some Grayscale levels of cognizant dissonance. "This goal would be broken if certain types of forces could somehow just ignore enemies (for instance, through overwhelming remote repair or through evasion)" followed immediately with... "The Entosis Link itself should have the minimum possible effect on what ships and tactics players can choose." How someone can claim both those goals and not see how they're not compatible with each other I don't know. It's like that "7 red lines" video about demands on engineers.

ChickenWing posted:"minimum possible" does not mean "none". There have to be restrictions in place to ensure fun gameplay. What fozzie was getting at is that he doesn't want to put arbitrary restrictions in so that underused ship classes come back into vogue. That's not the way it seemed from context of his blog. He claims to not want to fiddle with the meta. But when most of the smaller group fleet meta involves flying poo poo that can't be caught if even halfway aware of your surroundings, that doesn't really mesh well with the rest of his points.

ChickenWing posted:~doublepost~ How exactly is making trollceptors not work not artificially effecting meta? It's the same thing as making he module only fit on certain classes of ships. Or just adding role penalties to making it not fit on ships. As far as "artificially creating meta" they're the same. The impression I get from every one of his blog posts seems that he really does want the hit and run gameplay. He thinks that entosis ~wulfpax~ are what is going to generate the most content.

Without the wrecking ball though how much punch does PL really have? They took their good fleet fighting stuff out behind the shed and shot it in the head with a shotgun years ago and replaced it with super superiority.

Back when Sam Handwhich was around it was pretty easy to shoot blues. He was so stoned all the time that you could claim he okayed something if poo poo hit the fan and everyone pretty much went "don't do that again".

I just orbited a thing in game in a travelfit ceptor with MWD on at 20km and my speed was only about 100m/s slower than full speed straight ahead. So even if you add half again the mass I think you're right.

Fix Lag posted:Unless there are significant changes to the economics regarding income and player density in sovereign nullsec coming wulith Fozziesov, it'll be another stick with no carrot like jump fatigue and Phoebe. You can't make a system require an average population of, say, 30 people for a good portion of the day without adding income streams to support them. Well, don't you worry. They have promised, pinkie swore, that they're going to take a look at nulsec income and Do Something.

CCP Wooden Tankard. Extremely pleasant, and reasonably competent, man. Oh, that giant dude. I still say it's a good thing I didn't remember his name though, since I tend to remember the horrible CCP employees. And if I don't remember their name, then they're probably good folk.

If you can't handle prioritizing big lists quickly in the heat of battle you don't fly logistics.
