EVE General Discussion

Few things that havent been mentioned so far in this thread:

- If you anchore a Caldari tower you mentally challenged anyway
- If you fly a Caldari cap ship you mentally challenged anyway

As everyone in EVE thinks he is the smartest gift given to earth, we should have none of the 2 things mentioned above on the server which makes the OPs fears moot.
Or it makes his post just an well executed troll, well done.

Actually, the Bat Country Annual Mittani-For-CSM Participatory Democracy Jamboree is still very much alive, and should today hit its 666th dead exhumer in two weeks later today.

The question for those who rely on empire for their ice supplies has to be whether this is a feint before hitting a different ices with our thousands of alliance members (Bat Country are less than 200-strong); whether it is just one bored corp and will wear off; or whether it is deliberately lowering reserves ahead of a full-scale attack on nitrogen isotopes, as occurred with oxygen isotopes last year.

There is a lot of money to be made if you can guess the correct answer.

The Goons are innocent in this case.

People still don't stock on years worth of fuel when the fuel prices are low?

The way I see it, you can only go around kicking people in the balls so much before you **** enough people off bad enough that they retaliate. Goons will get theirs in due time. If you are really that upset with them over the crap they pull then just be there when it happens and get yourself on some Goon killmails.

The only good Goon is a dead Goon.

OP, it seems you don't understand Eve very well, and rather than accept the situation and adapt/profit, you decided to come onto GD and sperge.

Let me explain something to you, and you might learn something about Eve in the process. You see, Goons are currently at war with some of the Supercap heavy alliances in game. In addition to POS's, supers (and regular caps) require the same fuels to move around. More expensive fuel can cause problems. This is a smart way for the goons to cost the price of the war up for their enemies (I understand the reason for targeting Girlantee fuels, but why crapdari? Chimera pilot with lot's of fuel reserves checking in) .

Now most null sec alliances don't have the capacity/willingness to mine their own ice in null, so most of it is imported from empire. The more an alliance has to spend on fuel to keep their caps (including the very important jump freighter) moving and POS's/Jump bridges fueled, the less money they have for things like reimbursing members ship loses, and keeping ships/mods on the market at a reasonable price. In the short term this doesn't really matter, but eventually it may cause them to think twice before deploying shps that cost a lot to replace, or the cost of moving caps might outweigh the potential gains. The average member who may have to fuel their own cap might decide that 50 mil to move some ships from a to b is to much so just flies one or two ships to a new deployment area, or they only have 1 of each ship type rather than two because the market prices have risen to offset fuel costs, so they are less effective than they would be if they had multiple shiptypes + spares.

I'm not saying that this is the case, I suspect that this is really done for tears, but ultimately doing things like is just a form of economic warfare. Either way, this is why I and many others love Eve. If you don't like it, or refuse to educate yourself about why things like this can be important (and extremely interesting), perhaps you should try one of the many theme-park MMO's where competition is non-existent, you can have no impact on the game world or those around you, loss means nothing, and everything is fair.

Adapt or die. Failure to plan for the future is no ones fault but your own.

laffo you morons got scammed by riverini

i may have posted this in this thread already but it deserves repeating

Nowhere does your argument solidify your view on Goons having ruined the game. They've infact made it slightly more challenging & fun, which is the whole point of a of a game.

I heard he wasted 100m putting a bounty on one of us.

It was a nice donation to someone, I don't know what happened but you can imagine...

I've been trading for over 6 years. Market manipulation is what it's all about.

My admiration goes out to them if they're managing to profit big off it.
