Ice miners are already adapting and are currently filling up the fields again. As soon as the trick to mining safely spreads to everyone, I give it one maybe 2 days, it will be like this never happened.

Doesn't take an economist to realize that everyone trying to sell their oxy topes stockpiles at once will lead to a huge price crash.

Just saw this in action in Ardallabier.

Small fleet with a hulk, a couple of Macks, 2 Basi's and a bunch of gun/other support ships.

Goons made one run at a solo Mack (who was able to warp away BTW) Max I saw in local was 8 goons. They didn't kill anything in the couple of hours I was there.

Looked pretty fail to me as far as a continued campaign.

A good fleet with 3 mutually supporting Basi's, an Orca, 5 Macks and some other gun/neut support would be awful hard to beat.

Nerf Goons

Nuke em from orbit....it's the only way to be sure.

I think goons have honestly done a great job here. They came and applied pressure in an industry that is used to operating in safety. Now these ice miners have reacted and adapted to the goon threat with their own innovation and coordinated teamwork. There are people helping out from all over the galaxy who dont even usually mine ice just for a chance to help fight back.

I think everyone's having a lot of fun and playing the game on a higher level. It's too bad this got reversed so quickly, but I'm sure the goons will attack another sector of the economy soon enough, and they will be even more prepared and dangerous this time.

But the goons exploding to concord in futility over and over while miners grind ice in unbreakable defense fleets does.

No need to be sour about it, it was a cool idea and a good try. Goons just got outplayed by hisec icemining carebears.

You didn't do a good job, I've been there all afternoon. Of course I'm not sitting there mining in a Mack with a sign saying "come kill me!", but I'm there. Swimma just left the system...

The Swimma is me. I moved him to another system to clear out a concord spawn because some damn ETNY pubbie didn't clear them out after a successful suicide gank.


pubbies killing pubbies. At least it's entertaining.

The existence of a thread like this means Goons have succeeded

The OP doesn't get that, though

I just think it's pretty cool that there's a 4 page thread on Eve-O about me.

There needs to be more threads about me.



Pubbies, if you make a thread about me I PROMISE I won't gank your mackinaw or hulk.

The funny part is the OP thinks he is in some way important

Don't bother replying with "So you are?" Because I never said I was

Shall I just hand my head on a platter to you? I AM standing up to you - I've been in Jaschercis all evening preventing you from killing anyone. Now you resort to playing bumper cars with escort ships. So we learn, and adapt.
