yes they'd only need a few thousand pilots, a common communications infrastructure, solid timezone coverage with capable FCs across those TZs, a common fleet doctrine, hundreds of supercapitals, hundreds of billions of ISK for ship replacements, capable leadership, diplomatic skill, reliable intel, logistics (not talking about the t2 cruiser) and you know what let's just say that "trying" isn't enough

How did Goons get their start in nullsec?

Yeah, they just swarmed their enemies with a huge supply of cheap ships.

Attrition can win wars too.

What are you saying a bunch of whining, brainless nerds, who can't even tank a hulk properly, can get into cheap ships and take down the Goons. Oh....this will worth the admission. *runs to get popcorn*

Who knows? There may come a time where hiseccers have been poked long and hard enough and a leader steps up and organizes the hisec base, gets them to learn a few things, and something will be made of it.

But, like I said, the likelihood is low. I'm only saying there's a possibility, as remote as it may be. And the CFC's overconfidence only opens those doors wider.

If someone will just walk through that door.

Hisec can't refrain from mining during Hulkageddon, I don't think CFC has anything to worry about for a long time.

True.

It would be fair to say the chance is so low it may as well be 0.

I don't want the goons gone, there so fun to laugh at. They are such space nerd role players, even the mittani himself: "the heartless fear-monger I play in-game is just that, a role in a game". They don't cause anyone tears. The only person tehy make cry are there mother's and father's for being such failures IRL

You could say it's null.

Goons are like herpes, will never really go away. Because they are joined outside of the game through SA forums.

Plus i really love the idea of high-sec coming together to take out the goons. If it ever could happen would be so funny to watch a load of mission runner in min-max'd ships typing maddly in fleet chat (because they dont use voice comms) as soon as they hit a drag bubble and cant work out why they cant warp.

It's not been nice, but thanks for using lube

Literally impossible. All of hisec couldn't muster a 20 man fleet to defend Chribba when a single CFC alliance (Test) took his station. Do you really think anyone in hisec, or null for that matter, could challenge the combined might of the CFC + PL?

Assuming we don't stagnate, we will only grow stronger with time. We have effectively "won" eve.

It seems that your upbringing was a little light on other forms of punctuation though. That and the proper use of capitalization.

I can recommend some decent internet courses that even a little bee could follow, if you like.
