Was 200 last I logged.
But yea, after insta-gibbing on the gate we all have to hustle back to station in our pods, wait out the GCC, re-ship, reform - scan down a target, get the bumpers on it - warp in 150+ Thrashers, hope no-one fires early - take down the target ...
Rinse, repeat.

You must be the worlds greatest cat herder if you think a turn out like this is "poor". Or we ganked your freighter and you are trying to make it seem like no big deal.
I *know* Goons can herd cats better than that. I've seen it. How do you herd cats? By opening a can of tuna where you want them to be. Next time, open the tuna.
What you know could fit on a post-it note. Trust me, there was plenty of 'tuna' or what ever analogy you want to use. We had guys under -2.5 bouncing celestials just for the chance to drop on the target at the last second.
15 minutes to get back into Jita (most people waited out gcc outside Jita to avoid TiDi dragging it out) through traffic control, get a new ship, dodge wardecs and kill rights to get on a perch, and then find/bump/warp-in and kill the next freighter. |

My observation skills are just fine - I observed myself piloting a frieghter full to the brim with fuel blocks, and no one even looked at me. I observed a fail to even get a lock on my lol-fit frieghter hull when I returned. I'm no uber-pilot, just an average Joe, and I was flying a frieghter with a fit that was mediocre three years ago (can't be bothered to update - no reason, based on my loss-rate). I observed myself flying about in Jita space, and seeing exactly one unusual circumstance - which ended in a swift and uneventful Concordokken. I felt zero fear or excitement.
And yes, once I remembered there was a Burn Jita, I recalled reading about it right here... Posted by Goons - CCP has nothing to do with it, one way or another. But y'all failed to deliver, IMO. Over the course of the weekend, you managed to kill about one hour's worth of frieghter traffic. That's not an 'event.' That's a statistical blip.
You say 'better in every measurable way.' I say bull-hockey. This is insanity. You can't possibly believe what you're typing, or you're too stupid to realise it's nonsense. So three times more freighters go down, which is nothing worth mentioning, but when 1/3 the number die, that's "turning Jita upside down"?
You need to actually sit down and work out what world that makes sense in.
Or.
Or.
I do notice you mention you're a WH dude, and the crowning jewel of illogical decisions was someone flying 20bil of WH loot into Jita.
Sir, I do propose you be mad at your loss. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930's |

It is actually fun for pretty much anyone not flying freighters or stupidly expensive ships. It might even be fun for them if they enjoy the excitement of trying to dodge us.
For every person here who says it was no big deal, there were a hundred people who were chasing us around to kill us when we went criminal, blapping us on undocks using kill rights, scooping up the billions of isk of loot we dropped and the loot in the ships we ganked, etc, etc, etc.
If Burn Jita was a non-event for you, you were doing it wrong. |

I enjoyed it. My main toon made over a billion Isk. I was able to PLEX my account & have a lot of spare change thanks to Burn Jita 2. The smart bombing battleships didn't disscourage me from looting the field.
Was a busy weekend. Friday I was poor 63mill & now I have a PLEX & 590mill in my mains account lol.

Well done to all involved, a great event that switched things up for a few days. The game would be worse off without you guys. Credit to the counter offensive also, Marmite, Whores etc., successful or not, they brought an added dimension to the whole event. A really enjoyable weekend, thank you. |

BEST post ever about Jita Burn II. They locked it so you can't reply.
If the Goon Federation wasn't around I believe EvE would be boring, Thanks to all the collaboration of everyone involved for making JITA an exciting sector this last weekend.

I'm not a hotshot pilot by any stretch of the imagination, but I flew in and out like I always do - the solitary attempt to lock my freighter up failed rather convincingly.

Someone was trolling, and badly...
You said "empty". Re-read YOUR post. Now it suddenly wasn't empty?
And assuming you're NOT trolling, maybe your empty non-empty cargo wasn't valuable enough for them to lose the isk on? "Blow it all on Quafe and strippers." --- Sorlac |

More likely he WAS scanned, however if he was leaving the station that means he was still in docking range... making him a fairly unattractive target. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

It's like he has no idea what passive scanners are, or how ganking/freighter mechanics work.

It's like he has no idea what passive scanners are, or how ganking/freighter mechanics work. Not a ganker, so yes, that's probably an accurate summation. My freight skills are just enough to do the tower-fueling work necessary, and nothing beyond that.
Ginger Barbarella; Go back and read the rest. Someone *is* trolling badly, and it isn't me. Left with a full hull, came back empty. Last night, did it again.* I'm given to understand that the 'event' is still on? Yes? So I got away again. Someone tells me I was probably scanned passively - I'm making no bones about my lack of understanding how that works - So I'll presume he was right. Which means that someone probably did know what I was carrying. And I got away anyway.
Ranger1; Unattractive target at undock, but last night's delivery went 22 hops, including through the Jita peripheral systems. Surely someone could've been informed and be waiting me?
*OK, not entirely full the second time - 17K cubes worth of fuel. Just enough to finish topping the tower to the brim. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

So I guess it's just me who is puzzled about that little part where he said that his freighter is "failfit" and he hasn't ever shanged its "fit" because never felt that it was needed?
