I played this game in 2009. It's incredible that it is somehow still alive

Didn't the MMO genre die off anyway

we are hellcamping them at the moment. the cowards have not logged in yet. a few titan stragglers tried to log in and escape their fate, but we destroyed them alone and defenseless. the keepstar is vulnerable in about 15min, so if they are going to show up for round two its going to be soon! :black101:

The stream has a timer with 4 hours left, or is that some other arcane EVE thing that is unrelated? Just goons chatting on twitch so far.

Also there are big bubbles everywhere. looks pretty

the 4 hour timer is the vulnerability countdown. the cowardly snakemen papi alliance has 3 hours 20min to log in and fight our keepstar otherwise it regenerates to full health. if they don't take this opportunity their titan fleet will be trapped in our hellcamp forever

yeah, and if they don't log in all the damage from the last attack will regenerate and their 100+ titan loss was pointless.

It looks like things are occasionally exploding on stream. Are they logging back in piecemeal??

When asked if he had any specific regrets about the fight or its aftermath, Dunk said, “My only regret is that I didn’t get to salvage the wrecks,” adding the familiar BRAVE salute emoji, “7o.”

they have been logging in piecemeal for the last few days, always instant death :v:

of course goons have thousands of ships on grid; there is a concern that even if they try to log on all at the same time the server will no let them all in

I've never played Eve but I remember learning a colleague was really into it so I told him I was a goon and he was visibly repulsed.

Not EVE, but this thread makes me nostalgic for when I played the EVE knockoff, Astro Empires with fellow goons. I think VileRat was part of that GoonSquad, too.

I have fond memories of taking part in GOONion's raid on the Beta server's first Death Star, the largest unit in the game (and also worthless for anything but defense), which took literal months to construct at the time. The tears (and soup/debris) when we destroyed it was delicious.

I wish I still had time to devote countless hours to spreadsheet games.

Holy poo poo, I remember AE. A coworker got me into it for a while, then months later, unrelated, I joined SA, then found out that same coworker was also a goon. So I guess SA technically got me into AE. Wow I haven't thought of that game in forever.

Anyone remember Quarantine 2019? drat, that game was one year off.

This is message the enemy sent out before down time:


total titans lost 245 or about $320,000 USD. this fight apparently isn't over, they want to go again when the structure timer comes due in a few days! we will see if they have such resolve.

245 titans lost in 1 battle :lol:

So when you lose your spaceship jpeg in this game, does it respawn, or do you have to get out there and sell enough meth to afford a new one?

The latter. You can space-buy space-insurance that pays out some portion of the hull value if it pops though (doesn’t cover any of the things you fit to it).
