Warfare & Tactics

Or, "we can't hack it in 0.0 where you don't have to bother paying off concord, so we claimed fiscal restraint as a fig leaf for not doing long wars before."

I'll give you a hint Jade: we're not in the space you claim to avoid, yet we've never seen your happy group of brave pvpers. Wonder why that is...

To everyone else: We welcome more targets! Clearing and owning the undocks at every market hub gets old; please get your ****** merc corps locked into foreverwar they can never leave with GSF today!

Accord is good car

Did you really just say "hi sec pvpers" ? Yes station games take skill...Please continue to give us more targets. All you are doing is keeping us from being bored.

Just to be clear, it's not really a foreverwar against the TEN THOUSAND Goonswarm players, it's a foreverwar against maybe two dozen of us who are not yet sick of station games.

We have no problems blueballing you and pouncing the second you get bored and undock your five billion isk mission running ship. If you want to fight the supposed 9000 players you should just head to nullsec and do so all day for free. But by all means, do join Jade and turn highsec into functional nullsec for us. We will introduce you to the wonders of AFK cloaking.

I don't personally know each of our billion members and thus cannot be held responsible for every membercorp individual who I have never spoken to, but if they want to run highsec level 4 missions in wartarget infested countries, it is their most basic right.

Nevertheless, I am certain that the loss of this two billion isk golem was a significant setback for the strategic-level objectives of the great Goonion, and thus its loss will be mourned. The masses will cry over its burned out husk for weeks at the spaceship equivalent of a state funeral.

In this thread highsec people mistakenly think goons care about losses in highsec and goons mistakenly think people care about causing actual damage to them.

Man, I hope you get enough allies that I can break out the smartbombing battleship again. That's always fun, but too many damn neutrals in highsec.

---Update.

Sad news everyone.

Goonswarm have whined CCP into nerfing the Inferno Wardec System because they hated the idea of ever losing even a fraction of their numerical advantage.

Basically defensive allies are being massively nerfed and it will no longer be possible to lock an attacker into a conflict via mutual war that includes any allies at all. (This means that Goonswarm will be able to shed significant offensive wars any time they please without consequence).

And on financial matters - the implication is that it'll be more expensive to call sufficient allies as a defender than it is to make the initial wardec from a 9000 person alliance against a 100 person alliance.

Ah well shrug really.

I guess we'll call it a form of moral victory that Mittani was forced to beg his mates at CCP to nerf the Inferno Wardec System because Goonswarm was being effectively opposed through the ally system.

I'm pretty sure it was the "mercs" who were whining to CCP about this, since now if you get wardec'd and want help you just put up an advert and the various hisec pvp bottom feeders will flock to your banner. No more multibillion contracts, no more reputation building campaigns--or at least, they'd get lost in the fray and you'd have bottom feeders seeking to mooch credit.

We've been laughing all the way to the bank with this wardec system as is; being able to shoot everything that moves in hisec has long been a fond dream. Hell, if we're going to pester devs to make changes we'd do so to EXPAND the wardec system--we need to be able to dec NPC corps.

Don't forget out campaign to make high sec stations destructible.
