Edited by: Snowden Vel on 21/07/2009 02:34:19 I realize this may get me in serious trouble with the directorate but this is too damn stupid to go forward without public comment (and frankly, the public mockery it deserves). Our new CEO, karttoon, has granted our directors virtual impunity to make policy in their respective areas. In response, many directors have seized the opportunity to push forward a bunch of new, dumb requirements for participation in special programs and projects. The dumbest of these dumb ideas has taken root in CapSwarm:
Originally by: Brennah These will be going into skillswarm shortly so please don't freak out if you suddenly show as not trained, you will not be automatically purged.
CCP has been doing a better job recently of banning *****s, as such the cost of fuels have risen dramatically. To combat these rising fuel costs we are now going to require that all capital pilots train JFC 5. In the volume that we use, 10% savings in fuel will add up quickly. It will also help Revelations and their ****ty cargohold.
Along these same lines, the cost of stront has more then doubled from when Delve II started. We will be adding TWC 5 to requirements for all dreads. Once again the Revelation should see the most benefit from this skill, but overall we will recognize cost savings from this that will continue to allow caps to operate in multiple places at once.
I will not be looking for full compliance for 120-150 days, this gives you time to finish what you are working on and get started on the new skills.
I've been talking with our other cap pilots and frankly, none of us want to eat over two months' worth of useless training time just to satisfy some director's ridiculous power trip. If these changes go through, pilots refusing to follow the training mandate will be kicked and CapSwarm will be decimated. Our ability to deploy dreadnaughts will be crippled.
I realize GoonSwarm was installed in Delve largely as a meatshield to protect our northern allies from -A-. Under these circumstances, our allies are perhaps the only people who have the authority to talk some sense into a completely brain-dead goon directorate. These changes will set us on a path to eventual ruin and someone needs to step in before it's too late.
So please, talk some sense into these morons before GoonSwarm implodes on itself.

This change is simply ******ed and will end up doing much more harm then good. It is a good thing for them that they value isk over players because they will be saving more fuel then they bargained for when caps stop showing up to ops.

I have been flying with Capswarm for over a year now. I have maxed damage skills for my Revelation. After these changes, I am leaving Capswarm and possibly Goonfleet altogether. This is completely unacceptable and to expect our pilots to train 60 days of meaningless skills simply so that Goonfleet can save 5mil isk is just flat out stupid.
Someone did the math: It would take 111 siege cycles for the jump from TWR 4 to 5 to save Goonfleet 5mil isk.
If this is how you propose to save money, by alienating the people who took the region that gives you 500b isk a month, then you are way too out of touch to be in a leadership position.
STEP DOWN NOW, BRENNAH.

I should also add that this sort of high-skillpoint elitism is completely antithetical to the founding ideals of Goonfleet and shows how badly holding space has gone to everyone's head. It's just sad.

Edited by: Brennah on 21/07/2009 02:40:00 Look, as I tried to explain on our CapitalSwarm forums, this is needed for me to continue to supply free fuel long term. If we don't make these changes then we will be forced to stop supplying fuel for free and move to an Atlas Alliance like system where cap pilots will be forced to buy their own fuel and ammo for ops.

I was just shy of making qualification for a dreadnought, but now I know I can safely skip it and just train up cruiser 5 or something more fun...these changes are ridiculous and excessive. **** Brennah and his powertrip. |

Maybe you'd like to discuss this in Local chat with -A- once they come smashing through Querious unopposed.

Yeah I wish this was trolling but frankly the directorate has been getting away with ramming skill requirements down the throats of our various special interest groups for quite some time now, so I guess they figured they could get away with this. Thus far it's been smaller stuff, like forcing Black Ops to train Cloaking V, but these dumb ideas have been on the march for a while. Frankly, since most special interest groups cater to niche interests, it never really mattered much, but CapSwarm exists to protect our space and this crosses the line.

The problem lies within the "good old boys" network of directorship within goonfleet. Because the majority of the leadership comes from Theta, all the new directors tend to hail from Theta as well.
And we all know how penny pinching thetans are.
Please, my fellow goons, don't let Thetan's take over Goonfleet. Purge them!

I for one am outraged that the directorate would seek to impose further on my eve experience. Already we have countless mandatory pos shooting operations, but this is just beyond silly. No longer will I stand for this blatant authoritarian approach used to force members into the directors' little labeled cubbyholes.

Back to rifters for you Goons!
Good thing we reset you when we did. I don't want to shoot pos for you scrubs especially if only 5 of you qualify for capswarm dreads.

You should be training those anyways long term. So what's the issue? Make it a requirement, and spend the isk on more caps.
