"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
The closest historical comparison is The Texas Revolution and The Alamo. Santa Anna succeeds in taking the Alamo and killing (almost) everyone, but ultimately loses because he underestimates how stupid, stubborn, and vengeful the "Texians" can be.

I figure it's another three weeks before Vily's unironically referencing the Arya-as-Walder "leave one wolf alive" meme.

Oh man, taking the 49- ihub is really helping them out!

Hostiles really hosed up by wasting time on that poo poo. If we do win this war, I suspect it'll be because hostiles faffed about until 9/15, when our vulns changed to their weakest timezone.

TEST Titan down. 16 Dreadnoughts, 1 Carrier with it in 4-07MU

Battle results: https://fleetcom.space/battlereport/9HF5mXRTupyK7HBXQ#summary

Titan Kill Mail:https://zkillboard.com/kill/87254916/

1048 players 325 ships lost 182.7b isk lost vs 29.3b isk dropped

A TEST titan moving to 4-07 was dropped by an Imperium Dreadnought fleet after he bounced off the station. PAPI Dreadnought and carrier attempted a rescue and were defeated. Imperium fleets scrambled and saved 20 out of 30 friendly Dreadnoughts. PAPI subcap fleets chased hostiles out of system and held the field, but the Dreadnought hulks were already destroyed and not salvageable.


I was part of the Ferox fleet. We undocked 2 minutes after the alert and got a Titan bridge into the next door system, and jumped in. Got on 5 Dreadnought kill mails and a Sabre before getting trapped in the bubbles on a perch and missing the escape out of system.

In this picture you can see some of the hostile Dreadnought wrecks.

the silver linings have been, i must admit, pretty drat significant, like if we hadn't lost the casino war (infinite isk cheats :argh: ) we wouldn't have learned all this poo poo to build the new and improved star empire 4.0 or whatever the gently caress it is now, kind of how the invasion of syndicate in 2006 turned us from cute newbees into vengeance-obsessed empire builders at the dawn of goonfleet

Yeah, it’s more of an internet lineage thing at this point, right? GEWNS from SA, TEST from Reddit, but of course we’ve got Karmafleet which are by and large Redditors and people who are missing some requirements to join GoonWaffe. Where did PL/Horde form from? I’m only a casual observer of EVE mostly so I’m curious and never really caught their origin. NC too really, but I know they’ve been around forever in some form, did they just form up in game, or are they also from elsewhere?

With BoB/KenZoku/whatever gone, PL is basically the remaining bastion of "truly old-school EVE players"; a lot of their original leadership (and I god I dunno if this is still true in 2020 but it's their overall origin) came from the game's pre-release and beta periods in 2001-2002. They were from an MMO, strategy and spacegame background, so stuff like Homeworld, Ultima Online, the other smattering of pre-Warcraft MMOs, crusty Elite/Privateer vets, that sort of thing, and got interested in EVE when it was still more idea than reality. The founding corps of it were also more interested in roaming piracy than land-holding; I remember a lot of their original members were a bit :wtc: when PL itself was first formed because it seemed to drift from the original purpose. Those days are long, long in the past, though.

I would imagine they recruit from all over these days, but founding corps of Pandemic Legion (like Snigg) are some of EVE's oldest entities and I would imagine a lot of "old school" folks, the ones still left, gravitate in that direction.

The Titan Pilot, replied on reddit

quote:

It was my Rag and I made a series of poor decisions/actions which led to the jump and subsequent capture.

It was also a clean drop, I had about 20 secs of window for me to react before i was caught and I spent a few minutes realizing my mistake before i actually responded.

High Command/Alliance can't really be held responsible for my derelict titan but they took care of me.

Super seriously, my bad.

So I guess, it's already been replaced?

The enemy was bankrolled by one of those ISK casinos. IIRC it started with them living off something like a few percentage of dividends worth 250b ISK/month but by the time it ramped up basically all of the casino's profits were being funneled into trying to exterminate all of goondom. Then the casinos got banned.

So I resubbed last night, got very confused just looking at my ship in the station, and now this morning I can't log in as it says my details are all wrong.

I think someone or something is maybe giving me some hint here.

For the most part, members of Goonwaffe seem fine on comms. All the slurs, maga poo poo, and weird accidental beavis/butthead imitation I've encountered comes from two of the pub corps.

Oh, it was fine - not racist or anything just Too Much at 4am.

I did find that I needed to up my skill training for some stuff I used to do fine in 2016, so if any other vets are coming back definitely check the fits and set skills even if you're just dicking around.
