... Insert something brilliantly witty here.
Can't forget 'completely ludicrous, self-sufficient fortress region'. Is it at the point of a Keepstar in every system in Delve yet?

Wars are won by incredibly unsexy things, like logistics, and grinding opponent morale into dust via blueballing, which is something goons are pretty good at.

since im not actually in any imperium-aligned group right now I can't just ask myself on discord / jabber - can someone ask Joe Painter if he's open to sharing a few tips with a wannabe low-rent miniluv impersonation group im getting together out of the triglav hiseccers that don't wanna be carebears anymore?

How’s Pred doing these days?

We just wrapped up our annual summer lantorn deployment and had a great time. That 800b capital brawl was amazing.

Hope Pred and you guys are doing well.

Pred quit a few months ago, then tried to do this weird thing where he planned a dreadbomb on current allies and tried to get us to do it, then hosed off again

Melkie is still around and Val is the current Big Dick FC. We've been doing well - involved in a 100b cap fight in HED- last weekend that was a good time.

I am still in awe of this gigantic game.

I took the brave step of leaving my teaching corp because nothing was happening and just joined a random corp after chatting to someone in the recruitment channel. They are significantly smaller but vastly more active so I am learning significantly more.

However, 24 hours after joining someone declared war on our corp (or maybe alliance, I'm not too sure)

The leaders started sending out mails saying apparently a station of ours was undocked and this particular corp look for undocked structures to attack as that is when they are weak. It sounds like the leaders have it all in hand, so this other corps MO is apparently to just keep moving on so we are probably safe.


It's all very confusing :D but also such a tiny scale compared to the stuff I read here.

I think there tonight is some kind of cut off point for potential fighting though.

Probably a really dumb question, but is the mobile version of this somewhat true to the PC version? I thought I would download this on steam and give it a go.

Yeah it is a scaled down version of the normal game, not like a match four or something. There is a thread about it in the mobile gaming subforum https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3932792

I've been playing it a lot and its quite good. Managed to kill some squatters in NOL today who stupidly agressed on station. Points and scrams are insanely expensive, and nobody has tech'd up to bubbles, so pvp is thin on the ground.

Just joined back up on PC after playing the mobile version. Probably been asked before, but why is goonfleet still using jabber/mumble? It seems like you could transition over to discord and have it combine the two. With discord bots I'm sure it could be as secure as the current system?


Guessing it would probably be a big undertaking and why change something that isnt broke.

make sure you're always training stuff, if you didn't buy Omega it's going to take you a few months to train up enough to be useful in fleet battles, and try out the other ways to make money like mining or exploration. You could also always do more NPC missions. The Sisters of Eve ships are super good and you either can spend a billion isk buying one or you can do a bunch of missions for them and get one that way.

That Punisher is going to get torn apart in nullsec just fyi.

Serious answer - go learn how probes work. Scan stuff down, go see what it is, run away or get blown up.

Visit every system in eve. (Make yourself a list).

Just getting a feel for the vastness of eve and how to actually find things will do more for you than staring at Orbit Simulator and red crosses. Some of the most lucrative parts of eve are much much easier to understand once you've got a better sense of how big (and how small) it is.

One of my favourite memories in eve was fishing with supercaps. There was something really weird about them, almost like a stupid decision that somehow made it live. Back pre-2016 rolling around in a super was sort of like you were playing some sort of medieval battle game, and for some dumb reason idiot devs saw fit to allow a few people to poopsock themselves into an m1a1 abrams.

Most of my old garbage was in lonetrek so really easy to haul to Jita and sell, but I have hundreds of millions of isk worth of stuff in Khanid Prime, so woe is me if I wanna haul it all the way to Jita.

Sell it in Amarr. It is a big enough hub where stuff will sell there fairly quickly, especially now.
