An impressive ability to miss the point, but I'm struggling to state it in simpler terms: the imperium won't recover its sov when it gets ADMs low enough that it can sneakily set a few timers. It'll retake its sov - assuming that happens, which I do - when the balance of forces is sufficient that it doesn't matter if there are a few more minutes to hang around on grid, because they'll kill whatever comes along to try and disrupt enotosing. At that point, as happened in the first part of the war in the other direction, they'll contest a couple of timers then the opposition will gently caress off and the rest will be a dawdle.

Edit: as deadtear said, what I was saying about swordfleets is that they're about keeping people logging in. Not logging in is habit forming.

Agree

I've gone on a couple of Boat fleets recently and had a blast.
Was a bit wary at first since I'm an old fart that can't handle too much ADD and basically the only thing I remember from my first time playing in 2013 was a hyped up DBRB yelling in my ear before I warped and died.

Just fit the insta warp stuff, zone out with some music, follow his warps semi AFK and hit F1, the good life.

Got in on 50ish KMs yesterday which is about 40% of my total kills.


Also Space Violent is pretty active these days with small gang PVP, I highly recommend it if you are into that sort of stuff.

Horde has it a lot tougher than GSF right now

"going gets boring" might have been more accurate but the reality is more akin to

"going got really creepy and overly serious in the old internet space guild and I didn't want to support it any more"

To be fair I'm a casual follower of the thread and I don't really remember your spesific reasons for leaving, perhaps your could summarize?
The posts you have made lately that I have noticed are typical fair weather friend bullshit that I've seen many times before in other settings, but I would always be wrong.

And lol if you think PH is having it hard compared to GSF being outnumbered and outgunned in every way.

I have taken up exploration on my alt to see some different sides of Eve outside of GoonWaffe PVP.
It's really thrilling to zoom around the galaxy, dodging bads while hacking sites, jumping in worm holes and seeing where I end up. Found a worm hole in Derelik that took me to outer Tenal in one jump. I don't really care about the making ISK part, that is just a nice bonus and adds to the excitement of trying to make it back with a good haul.

Currently moved into Thera (wow!) and scanning down exits to see where they take me next!

Everyone should try exploration atleast once, imo. :)

I've been trying to lure my friends into playing this terrible game with me and finally someone took the bait.

Is 21 days the best trial offer right now? I see 30 days mentioned but that seems to be out of date.

If you make him a buddy account, he gets 21 days free. If he subs using real money, you get the choice between 1 PLEX and 30 days of game time for free. If he subs using plex, you get 30 days of game time for free.

Thus, if you know you're going to sub your account using PLEX, sub his buddy account, he'll get 51 days and you'll get the 30 days you were going to get anyway from subbing your account with PLEX.

I do this basically any time any one of my friends expresses interest in playing Eve. They never last though :smith:

Thanks for the guide! I have a spare PLEX so good idea to send him that if he sticks around.
I doubt he will last, but what are friends for if you can't encourage them to make poor life decisions?

Now to motivate him to do his Karmafleet application so we can take over the universe together, apparently getting questions about API keys and other nerd poo poo makes people close the tab :confused:

The one piece of advice on getting RL (or internet) friends to play Eve: You're going to have to babysit them and play content provider for a bit. Someone who picks up Eve at the recommendation of someone else isn't going to have the motivation at first to make their own fun, or realize what fleets to join or avoid or really what to do at all when they log in.

I helped my friends with it as much as possible, but space job sometimes prohibits me from dropping everything to hand hold them when they log in. The more you can do this, I think the longer they will stay with it.

Good points and duly noted., thanks.
