According to our last vote, Checkbox is actually the leader of Theta Squad.

He handily defeated a bag of groceries and thecrate.

Why do people say "the goons?"

Its really just "goons" or "goonswarm." Why do you keep throwing a useless and unneeded "THE" infront of it?

How...adorable.


Tell us all about the conquests of the notorious Crushed Ambitions corporation


Right then, how about this:

1) We haven't become everything we professed to stand against
2) We haven't turned zerosec into a stagnant carebear joke
3) We haven't gained everything we have through botting and/or RMT

Sounds like you are describing Goonswarm Federation. We should be space buddies since we have so much in common!

Don't just "survive" the goons, fight back, ***** on some killmails and thwart their nefarious plot. Put a couple fast locking ranged ships in the belt with you and one of two things will happen.

- they won't try to gank you.
- you will minimize the losses you would otherwise suffered by attacking the goon assailant(s) even before concord thus killing them faster.

Also, I suggest setting the following red (at an alliance, corp, or personal level):

goons, test, and any noobship pilots you see in your belts, scoutin your ships, while any goons/test are in system. also, check the goonfleet killboard for kills and grab non-goon/test pilot names from it and set them red.

PS: the combat ships you put in the belt should be near point range of your bai....er, miners, and probably not a close range ship in case goons decide to set you up the bomb.


Listen to the advice of this guy from Brick Squad we've had to struggle against their skill in order to take a quarter of their stations in a week.

goon swarm is very funny
they are making the game so fun
i kinda hate haiku

in all seriousness though i have a lot of respect for what the goons are doing whether its for financial gain, to rid the game of botters, or just for straight up funsies its kept me entertained just by reading about the forums at my RL job

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.
