EVE General Discussion

You know I remember there was some kind of "Torch and Pitchforks" type of thread a couple years ago. Something about Goons dropped a deuce in someones Cream of Wheat, and they were massing at the border to teach them a lesson.

I think the major issue they had is that the FC did not have leadership skills trained up, could not figure out how to create wings and everyone showed up in Dual Tank RSD Caracals.

The way to win at EVE is to deny fighting anybody else, so by staying in highsec you are already victorious.

I say a full blown push on Delve is in order. Let's start with YA0-xj since that is where they keep a surplus of punch and pie!

Gonna need to feed the masses.

Ways to create a successful Invasion Fleet, 2015 edition:

Step one: Go to the forum and announce your intentions to everyone including the intended targets. Be sure to include the fact that you have in reserve some not yet disclosed "stratagems" for added pants-crapping effect on the enemy.

Step two: Create a foolproof strategy, so fool proof that even High Sec dwellers can do it.

Step tree (fity): Actually invade, pay no attention to the fact that the enemy is vastly superior and actually knows what they are doing unlike the 6 other people you get to invade with you. Also pay no attention that the most likely outcome of your "invasion" will be a month long "burn high sec" campaign in which hundreds of innocent high sec players will suffer increasingly frequent suicide ganks in "lol retribution" for your daring "Invasion".

Step Four (VICTORY!)): continue on to glory, right up to the Steps of the Space Emperor's palace (in this case, Mittani's Condo) and slay him, but not before explaining your victory carefully and with flow charts.

CFC and PL enemies.. lololol talk about a disconnected drone.

I managed to only click one link until I remembered .....

I just checked my memory via youtube ... in Monkey Island 2 he really had an Emporium!

Loyd, you're brilliant! ^_^

To keep in tone with the Monkey Island motive, is there any chance the mighty pirate fleet FC might be Murray?

You should spam that link in every single Features and Ideas and CSM forum post.

Goons started with frigate swarms going out into Null Sec if I remember correctly.

OP - mailing lists and channels.
If you get enough people you will want multiple full fleets all firing on the same targets. Mobilise in multiple places. Send out guerrila squads to harass people and attack buildings.

How to prepare:

- Get a lot of good fits to send via your mailing list.
- Stock pile items that will be needed in the markets that you will deploy the fleets from.
- Make sure people train the right skills.
- Get some POSes ready to deploy.
- Go and make lots and lots of tactical book marks so that you can fleet warp people around. Make variations to give to your other fleet commanders.
- Start getting leadership potential to lead roams through Low Security space for practise.
- Set up a line of financing, something difficult to disrupt like trade hub station trading or a good worm hole or two.
- Throw masses and masses of cheap ships into killing shiny enemy ones.
- Make some jump clone corporations and make sure people can jump clones to empty pods.
- Prepare grand speeches and reassuring letters to tell everyone they are anonymous in their numbers and that a few examples means your work is hitting the right note.
- Find some motivation for why you are doing it, why when it is difficult they should keep slogging at it.

Above all else, start gathering up people and getting corporations to commit to helping you.
This is something that will takes months of planning you really want to go and do something effective.
