EVE General Discussion

Refereed? Hah, then Boat uses Summon Blob.

I think if boat starts shooting a structure everyone will happily immediately blow him up (unless he's in a supercap or something, but maybe even then). Because say no to structures.

Both sides claim they won, while everyone else claims they both lost, because ~CFC~ ~HBC~

EvE is a PvP game.

Except when it is not.

Because it is a sandbox.

Except when it is not.

I got tricked into going on a Vee op a couple of weeks ago where he said we were going to dumpster people and it turned out to be a structure shoot. I honestly don't know who to trust anymore. This is why I packed everyone in Topgoon into carriers and got the hell away from Venal as fast as I could.

Have you at any point in your Eve career participated in a sov war?

It starts like this thing we just averted. Things escalate for good or bad reasons, everyone gets psyched up, except the guys running the logistics of this whole thing "enablers" i think is the term CCP uses, who probably sigh loudly, tie a noose around their ceiling fan, hold a gun up to their head, sigh again, open up a bottle of vodka, and start the process of "enabling" what happens next. Everyone else is like HELL YEAH LETS DO THIS. The Mittani says some :words: like a judge handing down a sentence, and everyone pops into their alphafleet ship and fleets up and sits on a titan and we're all like HELL YES FINALLY GONNA GO TO OWNTOWN, and then the FC is like BRIDGE BRIDGE BRIDGE and then you load into the next system and you're 40km from an enemy pos and then boat shows up if he wasn't there already and starts talking, and at this point someone is still going "they'll show up, just keep shooting", but you may or may not hear him because boat is definitely still talking, and when the last gun in the pos goes into reinforced, you jump to the next system and do this again, and at this point leadership has abandoned all pretense of a fight happening and are like "come on guys, we only have 30 more systems to do this in".

That's goon sov war in a sub-cap. I don't know what it's like in a capital ship, but I imagine its just the same but worse.

Edit: Two hours into the fleet, everyone is masturbating or watching movies while AFK anchored. Pornography starts getting posted, and Mumble goes silent, except for boat.

So once the novelty of a huge fleet wears off, it's like forming a large group to go bash your head on a wall together untill it fall down and not very often a bricklayer shows up to defend his wall.

The one or two times both sides accidentally run into each-other, or organize a fight, i don't know how it happens, and you get the big hundreds on hundreds or thousands-on-thousands brawls that require CCP to reinforce the node, it's kind of fun. Tidi is painfully slow and if your computer is not good you won't be having fun at all, but under the right circumstances huge fleets are cool, the gamble you take on the fight happening is very much not in your favor though, and a pos shoot is more likely than any fun being had.

The war isn't won this way though, and sov changes hands to the ******* who is most willing to blue-ball and frustrate the other. It's set up so that big fights and isk wars aren't as important as making sure your enemy doesn't want to fleet up. This isn't actually fun and nobody was willing to do it for Montolio's inferiority complex.

Humm the force is strong with this one.....

Of course the above is semi true, the majority of 0.0 dwellers like the odd scrap now and again but really they like fattening their wallets just as much, it's just human nature,
