Hey OP, why don't you try leaving fountain/delve core for a change? Bitching about your space empire when all you do is stay within it's boarders is kinda lame. I'm never more comfortable than when I'm in someone elses space causing them trouble.
I know for a fact there is a small gang group within TEST that is basically a carbon copy of my own squad, I'm sure they are out doing things in sub 20-30 man fleets doing things and having fun. |

I did have a thought the other day. What if everyone in high just got damn tired of the gate campers at entry low-sec entry system or null-sec entry system and 5,000 people just plowed through the red tape and made low/null their own home. Be damned of whoever is there already.
This is exactly how Goonswarm and Dreddit (AKA TEST Alliance) began. What people don't realize is the level of organization it takes to get 5000 people aimed in the same direction. Even harder is getting them into the right ships. If every pubbie in highsec got into their finest battlesteed and came to VFK it would be a massacre, and not in their favor.
It would have nothing to do with the numbers or isk spent on super pimped out death machines, or even supercaps. It would have everything to do with organization, good FC's, competent fleet doctrines that complemented one another, and above all it has to do with the willingness to die for a cause. Highsec players get far too attached to their spaceships from what I've seen.
There are obvious exceptions of course, such as Red Vs Blue, but even they are a little to kitchen sink to fight a mainfleet doctrine from any of the big players in null. Sure they have scrapped with us before, but generally it's their kitchen sink vs our kitchen sink, and goons like to fly some really dumb ships (Comedy Megathron or that guy who brought a festival launcher to our fleet op tonight) when a doctrine isn't enforced. |

I got tired of Test so I applied to Goons as they seem to have a laxer and more laid back atmosphere. They wouldn't take me. If it's that difficult for a member of Test to join Goonswarm, I can only imagine how hard it is for a new player.
Hmmmm I don't know, maybe it's because you're a possible spy, or perhaps it's your questionable sense of loyalty. Certainly can't be your killboard (read pilot has 2 loses, 0 kills since October). I doubt any high sec newb corp would even take you. Where is your common sense?
Going for the triple post: Test is fairly laid back tbh, if this person is being stomped on for activity it's because according to their killboard they haven't actually done anything. Ever. I just invited a three day old newbie to come join my cloak gang, sure he's going to die, but he's going to have fun. If you don't get involved you have nobody to blame but yourself for things sucking. |

Was it just the singular launcher? Because I'm imagining a Drake will full festival launchers.
Single launcher, he had it stuffed into his highs on a recon which really are utility highs anyways since on a recon the mids are what's important. I just fell out laughing while getting a secondary point on an oracle at close range in ~my sabre~ I saw fireworks going off on the oracle. |

This person has died twice in a T1 frig, and killed exactly zero times. Meanwhile in Topgoon last month we let a seven day old new player lead our fleet of expensive ships around in Against all Anomalies space. He got my vagabond killed (Because I was the only one who followed his hilariously dumb orders) and everyone else peaced the **** out off grid when Elo undocked his munnin fleet.
I have never laughed so hard in my life, especially when he gave the order to "Orbit the stargate at various ranges to simulate an atom... hm yes that's exactly what I thought it would look like" |

Usually at 12km I think. Actually how does orbiting in EVE work, you don't go in an exact circle on a plane through the object do you? Hmm, I need to check this out for myself.
Exact plane around the center of the object. |
