I do not.

But that is because i dont have some massive huge goals of owning everything and everyone. Just flying through.

If i cant defeat them, and i surely cant, i will just quit their field, which i did. Cool

I genuinely and without rancor wonder how CCP failed to foresee the eventual proliferation of supercapitals.

If I were betting, I'd bet that the possibility quite simply didn't occur to them. It's sort of like that "Tell a lie so huge — so outrageous — that people don't even think to question it" thing, except that in this case it was a huge pile of minerals, effort and skill training.

But that stuff accumulates over time. And once something becomes well established in EVE, changing it significantly without angering thousands of people is... well, it's close to impossible.

CCP probably loves capitals. More capital ships means more hangar alts which leads to more accounts on the books.

Confirming that accepting new players into your alliance creates grave concerns for the future of this game. Roll

Not to nitpick. But I would hardly characterize Goonswarm as "Noob Friendly" Shocked
Unless you call ganking them and scamming them a friendly act....Lol

I like their propaganda material ..

Altho they dont bother with scamming newbs.. since they ussually dont have assets to game for..
They prey on greed and partially stupid people .. who have several bills in assets at least. Big smile

All being paid for with broken technetium income.

Those who cannot keep up will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all.

This x 10

Turn all moon goo into a depreciating resource and respawn it elsewhere over time - equalled out over ALL regions. That will turn null into a TRUE warspace without static blocs ******* the whole game.

Has anyone ever tried to spider Super carriers with transfer arrays?

Hel or Wyvern would be better. Get 3 and fill the high slots with Capital transfers, add rigs for that too. The surplus cap should add Capital shield boosters and keep cap stability. Being that there aren't any capital destabs, add in some rechargers you should be able to make a cap stab regen tank that would giggle at a doomsday, no?

If I get on a mirror with build speeds I will try it with a Nyx and 2 Aeon but I know shield boost 300% of what armor reps and I can't fly Hel or Wyvern

Capital Energy Emissions systems 5

Capital Murky Energy Transmitter 1 X 6
Large Egress Port Maximizer 2 X 3

Should let you pull in 11,040 cap every 10 seconds

That would let you run 5 Capital boosters with around a quarter million regen a minute. More with boosts, implants and other factors. In addition to fielding dps.
