Basically, burn jita is this event:
Lots of paper-tanked Tornados sit on gates.
Now, what's wrong with that? Of course, goons, being ~PRO PVPERS~ will bring a wider spectacle of ships, but the bulk will be that.
Big-sig, 10k EHP, tornados.
Waiting to be alpha'd, just like they like to alpha.
So, don't whine about the effects on ~CAREBEARING~, and either supply guns or man them.
And rack up Goon kills in a proper fashion, be it with suiciding fake "hidden" containers in frigate hulls, or using a tornado, or even a goddamn machariel (which can one-hit a 8k ehp tornado from 160km and align in five seconds squat).

It's a big event, and it'll be fun. Thank goons for funding it!

Brother AureoBroker, may I recommend enlisting yourself for the 'Burn Jita Opt-out' program, I hear you can get yourself signed up for a mere 200 Million ISK. Contact Lord Reid (a payment handler for this event) in game.

Kind Regards,

Lord Publow

I believe there is a significant opportunity for small groups or even single players to blunt the damage to civilian traffic here. There is plenty of time to entrench. Setting up bookmarks at random sniper points around stations and gates, using cheap tier 1 battleships that are well tanked and LR fitted (even T1 fitted) could be devastating in addition to concord guns. You just have to keep your head, only aim at criminal targets, and stay on the move.

Odds are the goons will strive to suicide gank any defenders so having a sniper covered by cruiser escorts would be wise.

My 2 cents

Lord Publow is a Goon operative. He's been assigned to post in an attempt to give the Goons a humanized aura. The problem arises when making his character, his character's character reveals his character. Lord Publow is a TARP!!

I tell yah, if you find Burn Jita thrilling, you're lacking somewhat in life. You really need to have experiences that are truly thrilling so you can make the distinction. Having experiences in life is how you expand your mind, as well. Get yourself out of Short Attention Span Theater, and into a bigger pair of shoes - ones that leave a footprint. Vini, Vidi, Ego risit. Really. Go out and get some air.

Oh yes...an 8k Tornado? Where'd you learn to fit a ship?

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

I didn't fit no ship, KMs - and even with less-suicidal tactics, 1400mms are stressing.
For the "Get a life" response, it's somewhat soon for that. Usually played as last-card of a failing argument.

Oh yes, because mining and hauling is so damn thrilling, right?

You can either join or fight. Either way it will be fun.
