HS, I was one of the guys predicting doom and gloom when this expansion came out. I would have quit eve if my subscription didn't still have 6 months on it. I even had my alt unsubscribed for a few weeks. But you know what? This is literally the best expansion I can remember.

I didn't think anyone would put LP into systems, but I was wrong: upgrading a system one level has the same effect as fully flipping a system. And more importantly, you can take that LP away pretty easily too.

This means that the enemy actually fights over plexes in upgraded systems! Go find an upgraded system where the enemy bases, and start plexing it (assuming you go there during their timezone) and you'll get fights. I can go to Eha, or Okkamon and get a fight within 10 minutes, *because of the new plexing mechanic where I can downgrade systems in short order if the enemy doesn't chase me out*.

And you know what? While the Gallente can focus and take any single system they want, IMO we're going to lose the aggregate plexing war because most of the gal mil isn't as happy plexing as the caldari are, and in fact our shared comms where we all converge for a fight actually isn't that effective for plexing where it's better to just warp off when opposition comes in if your only goal is system occupancy.

So, if you come back to FW, you'll probably end up with a great LP store long run. No, you won't get Rakapas back unless SLAPD move. You'll probably be able to dock in most places, and you know what, Station lock outs really give a feeling of RP to this whole plexing war, like someone who is in enemy territory. And I say this as someone who spends most of his time offensive plexing where I can't dock.

Finally, I see lots of caldari complain about SOTF dropping caps on everything and not being able to compete with all their RR etc. You know what? They can't make you commit caps or guardians to a fight, but you can make them leave their comfort zone and fight in minor and medium plexes (no caps or guardians allowed). That's why this expansion is awesome, because it's forcing people to fly destroyers again.

hahaha I made a beliver

I jump freightered 60 fully fit destroyers in yesterday, and corp is eating them up (as well as my own derpy/suicidal charges :D ). At this rate, I'll probably bring another load in next week.

Right now, I far prefer to fight in minor plexes. I'll grudgingly ship up if need be, but dessies are the way.

So ummm, about those cormorants. They were a cosmic raider and super chair thing for a long time and I feel very awkward actually having to fight them now...

This is like the drakes. Don't use them effectively and then expect me not to copy you :) (and/or slightly improve on the concept :P )

PS: It hurts when someone catches you on a plex warpin in one of those: http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16565919 Maybe this is just a plot for you to trick me into flying a ship that gets me owned in a ball of fire :)

Your tears, I feast upon them.

Stop saying pawn! I was going to assume you just misstyped and ignore you but you did it twice in a row in seperate posts. It's not the word you think it is.

pawnd pawnd pawnd pawnd

i pee on historic caldari buildings every chance i get in rakapas. never gets old.

never.

we have started to wear out the women in here though. would like it if you could send some more caldari skanks over. seriously - we can pay well... you know we got the money cause we sold all the shiney loots from your wrecks.

thanks.
