For All Mankind
Goons remain one of the biggest power blocs although they have grown way beyond actual forums goons who are a small minority in their empire. They're in there though.



Goosefleet is another smaller goon group that exists.

Internet spaceships.

If you count them all, this sentence has exactly seventy-two characters.
So Goosefleet isn't just an Eve Echoes thing?

I played with the Eve Echoes dudes, and they were pretty deliberate about we want nothing to do with Goonfleet in Eve Online, hence their name. And this was before the whole sheltering sex predators debacle in the Eve Online corp.

Yeah, me and a few other people brought Goosefleet to 2L Eve. These days we split our time between wormholes and stain.

Ironically we're hated by goonsreddit pubbie and imperium diplomat hypervipr because one of our former leadership people (who since biomassed everything and won eve) was integral in getting Mittens booted for being/sheltering sex pests.

it's round, like always

when you get a big enough spaceship in eve people will try and call or message you at like 3am to wake up log on and pos bash

for this reason alone you should not ever play it

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

It was kinda fun running from S-U8A4 in a Kestrel or some junk.

Then things got super-serious which was a little rewarding, sometimes, but mostly boring.
