Bought like 20 spare ships (well, frigates ) for the big 1dq defense. I am now poor, so if nothing happens I'll be pissed.

Just a reminder with the ADM fleets spinning back up if you are in Karmafleet and need a Myrmidon I still have like 40 of them ready to hand out in the Palace.

I had a Rusky friend reach out and talk to me about it. Seems the entire galaxy is waiting for something. I wonder if that something is probably going to be them picking a bizarre time to make a ~big push~ somewhere else and then 180 and try to flood 1DQ with nerds while our people are out in the field. They do have multiple keeps in jump range of 1dq now don't they? I wonder how many bridging titans are sitting idle in those keeps waiting...

In fact, the more I think about it the more I'm entirely certain they will make a push for 1DQ when we still have at least 1 other standing keepstar in jump range. Probably while feigning a retreat/extraction at some time when the 1DQ cyno jammer is offline. E: yeah I'd bet now that's how they do it. The tell would probably be some late-into the timer/event/fight ping for an interceptor or other small fleet that would come play grab rear end in 1DQ for a couple minutes before going and touching the jammer before it cycles, and then surprise their extraction was into 1DQ. It's It's only way to pack more nerds into that system before the server literally dies in a fire, and after M2- that probably their chief concern. And yes I am really loving high rn.

Papi can't pull a large defensive Goon fleet from 1DQ because they've been slow and methodical enough to give us many months to consolidate anything worth defending inside 1DQ. Imho their optimal move in this situation is permacamp and never siege 1DQ until the heat death of Tranquility server.

Is there any idea why CCP are making things like capitals so mega-stupid expensive? Like, do they just not want that part of the game to be used? Even Battleshits are getting prohibitively expensive for most line-poors. Coupled with the all-around nerfs to most income generation activities it seems bizarre. Like, I know "Buy plex" is an answer that I'll likely get, but unless they start selling ship hulls directly for plex, even this wont work as the market is already falling out of the bottom of plex.

the problem is that even if they shove all of their titans and supers into 1DQ1 before all the goons log on, we don't have to do as much, or really anything, to get into the system. at 10% tidi even the hour it is going to take to log in is still nowhere near the amount of time it will take the ref either the ihub or the fort next to it. And lol if they think it is going to be anything other than 10% tidi the moment anyone thinks anything is happening. Plus if there is a fighter swarm doing space superiority on the thetastar grid then most of the subcaps can sit on the T5ZI gate preventing any reinforcements from getting in or allowing them to extract. They have to be willing to lose a truly exorbitant number of ships. I'm betting they're going to continue their "siege" and hope that we give up and leave due to lack of krabbing space, despite that not being how the game works at all.

Spiteski posted:Is there any idea why CCP are making things like capitals so mega-stupid expensive? Like, do they just not want that part of the game to be used? Their goal doesn't seem to be "make capitals more expensive" as much as it is "make capital industry require a more varied assortment of materials and be more complicated," which of course means that they are going to be more expensive. T2 frigate production was in a lot of ways more difficult than capital production before this, since you had to do reactions and even the simplest hull required something like 30 raw inputs while cap production only required 6. Now caps require pretty much every possible resource: minerals, PI, moon goo (mostly R4s), harvestable gas, ice, plus some new commodities that don't exist yet. The mineral requirements are about the same, and the bulk of the estimated cost increase are in PI and R4 moon goo which can be done in hisec and will crash in price as it normalizes with the flood of people who start doing it now that there is going to be a legitimate market for the stuff. Personally I think it's a good change overall. Maybe there will actually be markets for intermediates and not everything will be built by a handful of fully vertically integrated producers. Also I can't fly a cap so no one should be able to get one.

Not to burst your bubbles but even the stuff outside of 1dq itself is probably also dead. It’ll be bloody but its nowhere near as defensible as 1dq itself.

All the math we've done so far indicates that regular (non-navy/faction) T1 subcaps will generally become cheaper, while capitals go to 5-10B, supercarriers to 50-70B and titans above 200B. That's not taking into account the leaked hints about upcoming T2 changes that will probably push goo prices up and probably turbofuck the rest of the industry meta. Your comparison between T2 frig production and capital production is a poor one, because it doesn't take into account the scaling issues they both have, in their own way. The only annoying bit with T2 subcap prod is that you need to look what what components you need multiple BPOs for, and that's child's play to figure out with a spreadsheet. Generally speaking, if you know what you're doing, any EVE prod basically boils down to logistics, spreadsheets and available slots in appropriately rigged structures. You also need to know what you're doing in order to find where the margins hide, it's not just "vertically integrate everything", though that's often a reasonable approximation. They're trying to cost / scarcity scale supercapitals and some other ships via rare wormhole gases and related reactions. They're also super lazily trying to basket-balance a bunch of materials instead of doing a proper balance pass in a bid to unfuck the broken supply/demand for certain materials, breaking the entire existing lore around industry at the same time and forcing a ton of people to remake their spreadsheets/tools for basically no good reason beyond CCP-induced tedium (not complexity, none of this poo poo is particularly complex, it's just tedious the first time(s) you do the numbers). The whole patch smells like some dipshits with MBAs who had never actually done production in EVE was let loose trying to make changes to a core aspect to the game, with other literal dipshits in the CSM cheering it on because it feeds into their "gently caress you, got mine" mentality. It's not going to end well. Stereotype posted:Personally I think it's a good change overall. Maybe there will actually be markets for intermediates and not everything will be built by a handful of fully vertically integrated producers. Also I can't fly a cap so no one should be able to get one. I already have a stack of (super)capitals and don't need more, so gently caress you, got mine eh? (It's not a good change, but from what I can tell, you don't have enough knowledge of how all of this poo poo fits together yet to really get it, not a lot of people do, certainly no one at CCP or in the current CSM).

lmao at the pubbie Horde losing the fight with their inferiority complex against Goons as they run out of options now that glassing some athanors and sitting Test on our head has failed to deny the Goons any ~content~. If they refuse to attack 1DQ asap, then they better go home as losers since they never even had any balls to chase Goons around New Eden or out of the game for that matter.

Warrior Princess posted:Let me tell you why this is a strategy that accomplishes nothing: Angry bees who can't log in because our home system will be full of nerds already. Angry bees who can try to jump home and experience the same poo poo that happened in the second M2- fight. Reffing the 1dq ihub is a matter of persistently throwing bodies at it and spontaneously packing 1dq full of nerds so that we either can't log in or can't jump back home. The highest I've seen 1dq local lately is the 800s, and more consistently in the 600s. Once it's reffed we would lose the node contest (unless we were suddenly willing to drop nonstop faxes) so idk. I still think we would win any supercapital fight on that grid, which is what it comes down to, but it's absolutely not impossible to see that ihub go pop. We might not have been paying attention to the second M2- fight where we should have learned the scale of this war in terms of bodies was more than the server can support, and we are the side that is massively outnumbered. These are not favorable portents, do not believe the false prophet Hugh Breeze. The strategic question is can the other side somehow blitz enough nerds into our home system to prevent us defending it based on the actual server mechanics. The answer to that question may be no, but at the moment I know gently caress all about whether or not that's possible. Can't say no. Also, it's called Blue Dragon Desert Frost and it smells like I murdered a horny skunk in my home office.

And that ihub is on the same grid as a keepstar. They tried it once and hosed off after about an hour and a half

Hello friends, Goose here. I am writing to let you all know that I am moving on to greener pastures. New Eden has been provided me with a lot of entertainment since I returned in May 2020 however it’s time to win eve and move on. My assets are on the T5ZI market at fire sale prices. I will jump my pod into 1DQ so I can be returned to my home station in high sec to begin my hibernation. The truth, I was a sponsored goon back in 07/08. My first day in the game I was in a frigate fleet moving from Syndicate to Scalding Pass to join with our Russian friends. With no idea what was going on. The same day a guy named Nync came on comms and started shouting Russian at us. I left and rejoined the game several times over the years. Was in Delve when Hargoth dropped BOB sov, burned countless freighters and haulers in Jita, sat in my sabre on the gates leading to B-R for hours. My sponsor decided to go gently caress goons so I guess when I came back to rejoin in May I was tainted. The war has been fun, however today i struggle to find the motivation to log in for the SP rewards let alone to join fleets. I don’t see PAPI doing very well in the battle for 1DQ. Especially if you can all rage form into 1DQ when the assault happens. Even if they do take it, PanFam will go home along with all of the other hangers on. Then goons can feast on TEST all alone. I hope that I made some of you laugh with my poo poo posting. If you didn’t like it, then rest assured the mods will soon be here to permaban me. Goonspeed The Goose.
