Mario and his **** ventures. This will end well.

goon propaganda machine in overdrive

I can't fly a Venture.

Can I bring a BS instead?

Don't worry, my support will be invaluable.

How many people do you have so far?

Why are we attacking the goons, are test not the bad guys?

I'm willing.

No drones on the build? Or would they be pointless?

Drones are left off because they are more or less meaningless. The point of the fleet is not DPS. It is to pin logistics ships and either:

A) Force GSF to keep their subcaps on field risking poor engagement position or;
B) Force GSF to abandon the Logistics ships pinned resulting in an ultimately weaker sub capital fleet.

Why are we attacking the goons, are test not the bad guys?

The Goons flew against BOB in droves of Rifters.
We Fly against the new BOB in droves of Ventures.

I hope my smart bombs don't go off before we reach desti.

When are you going to use them before or after all the Ventures beat you into warp and jump the gate?

Bring a smartbomb BS, you won't hit anything, they align faster than you decloak, and they warp long before you align.

Why do you think I chose Ventures.

Not only will they be long gone before your BS can kill them, they can't be stopped by trolololo ventures either.

No wonder you still sit on the bottom of the null pool. I must ask, when -A- does take their space back, whose teet is next, Mittani's? Shadoo's.? Vince's?Progods? We know it won't be Booda, and it wont be whomevet the next Dictator of -A- is, we know it wont be Mactep, hell you probably couldn't even hunker down with Xdeath.

Your alliance is ****. So don't pretend to poke holes in an event that is fun and cheap. I have planned around you types who prey on the weak. Which is exactly why the only possible teet left out for your pathetic alliance is our target.

Can I bring my Drake? (these is always one)

He seems pretty cross about something we did. Maybe he was in one of those terrible renter alliances we farmed in our Curse days?

Off topic: why you people hate renter alliances?

I never got to understand that yet

BY THE WAY!

You can make this entirely free by purchasing mining equipment and mining the cost of your ship + fit + pod before we leave.
Cost free PVP.

Here is how this will end.

Your fleet warps to a 0.0 gate whi theres a large bubble anchored and 2-3 battleships smartbombing you when you drop out of warp.

You won't even have to turn on your mwd/ab

Oh, and dont forget to upgrade clones.

I do look forward to seeing a bunch of Ventures die somewhere in Aridia

I hope my smart bombs don't go off before we reach desti.

"Hate"? Where do you get the idea that we hate them?

At worst, they're a resource for our opponents & therefore a valid target.

At best, they're a great source of entertainment, and sometimes income, for roaming gangs, for new FCs to practice on and so on.

However it was disappointing to see one of them post like a Goon...

We will be departing New Caldari and burning to Fountain.

On behalf of my alliance, I apologise that a certain insensitive poster hurt your feelings. I'll send you 100,000 ISK as a token of goodwill when I get online later.

Initiative, hmmm one of the alliances I admire, first of all it was they who came up with the firewall concept, second and main reason is that they have staying power unlike most other alliances that have won and lost space, they also seem to be in a forever war with -A- which again is another reason to like them. However it was disappointing to see one of them post like a Goon...

Regardless of that Seth Darkness has it right, that is what will happen... if anyone seriously wants to do this then setup a cell based structure around corps that trust each other and converge on the systems near the battlefield and take out reinforcements and late arrivals and pods, have fun... One of the things I like about the CFC is their complete attitude to warfare, while other alliances struggle for numbers they fight the main engagment, the CFC has people dedicated to interdiction of reinforcements and the like, if high sec corps want to get in small fleets and do this you will cause them some headaches, but doing what the OP suggested will result in a smart bombing quick death at a bubbled gate...

No need, just hold your space and keep killing -A- and -DD-

I'm all in favour of it, but I hope he understands that it's going to be much more educational than it will be effective.

Darn it, I'm away from access all weekend.

Is this likely to happen more than once?

your going to burn all the way from Caldari to fountain?! :o

This will happen at least once a weekend until the war is finished.



Yes, it doesn't take very long. Having done the run myself several times in the past days to determine threat level.

Only way that we will get caught is if someone in the fleet sets us up. Which is a good tactic and will likely be used. We may die in a fire or we might not. Another reason to keep the fit cheap.

Id suggest a Titan bridge, but frankly I am not going to put someones Titan in a risky position to jump a fleet of Ventures. If we were one corp and I could say everyone would be decent and not bump your Titan out and call friends then sure, but I am not about to put soemones 70 Billion isk ship on pedestal.

If they are pos up no pass to shield and stick end out of shield just enough to allow bridge that would limit risk.

I'll be there to scoop the corpses.

Can I bring my Drake? (these is always one)

We are talking about Ventures, i don't think anyone except them to win the war, and it's safe to say everyone is going to die, but you never know what they might run into before that happens.

It's probably going to be fun, educational and with a little luck it might even be positive win/lose isk ratio.

Meh. The predictions are likely true - We're all going to die in a pointless fire somewhere short of the goal. But really, the journey ought to be worth it. Maybe even epic, if things turn out well - my most fun ever was being chased in a pod virtually halfway across empire space by a failed gank-target. BOY was he mad! - AFTER I'd lol-failed, no less. :D

So - If there's a big fire, and my hull goes up in smoke, I may yet have some fun. Maybe even more fun than if everything goes perfectly.

free

cost you nothing but time

I think the worst case scenario is if you don't die and end up having to fly all the way back. If the timing works out I'll be there.

Lots of people telling you it won't work, and probably you'll die long before you get there. But good on you for trying. Hope at least fun is had. And please consider live streaming it

Undocking twice in one week? There must be something you really want in Fountain.

Not sure what all the bashing is for tbh, if people want to organize and go welp themselves let them, hopefully you'll all enjoy it. No need to get all worked up about it.

Hohoho nice initiative, props to you.

However if you ever make it to pass the R&K's smartbombing BlackOps camps, if you ever make it to destination without loosing 2/3 of your fleet to Bombing diks, someone somewhere will be in an instant alpha shooting stuff/fleet/gang trying to get as much kills as they can.



Awesome initiative still to take those pubbies out of high sec take the fresh air of freedom in null sec and make them enjoy pewpew

hoping that the route and destination being undisclosed will help in that. But you never know.

As soon as you tell the fleet where to go, every 0.0 entity will know. This thing will have so many AWOX alts and spies, that if you get more than three jumps into 0.0 without getting hotdroped/ganked, I would be surprised. If you do somehow defy the odds and actually get to your destination, I doubt you would actually be of any effect, before they descend on you like a pack of rabid wolves.

Either way this will end hilariously for you.

Should be a good time but unfortunately for the AWOXers I will only be giving out one jump coordinate at a time. Simply to reduce the possibility of this happening. So if they are good at guessing directions, or know regions pretty good I guess they can put 2 and 2 together, and who knows maybe Fountain isn't the destination at all. vOv..

Won't take all that long to narrow down your destination & route to a chokepoint or two.

Still a damn fine idea, IMO - I'll get to sell some more BPCs, and some folks will be entertained for a bit - either by breaking out of HiSec, or by trying to intercept.
Carry on smartly!

My friends despite the narrative this is an event designed by me, for the low SP, pilots of High Sec. The primary goal is to show what Null fights can look like, and to provide a cheap low risk fleet in which you can experience it.

Showing it is one thing, living it as a new player is another.

When someone doesn't bankroll the loss of ships, it will get costly. If the newer player has any implants to speed up training, even more so (losing those +3s whenever podded adds up, especially when level 2 missions don't pay enough LP or ISK to keep buying them -- and unless you're in a blob fleet won't get them replaced cheaply).

As they say in EvE: if you can't afford to lose it, don't engage in the activity.

For new players it's best that they learn how to make ISK to be self-supporting, and that's when the game become enjoyable (and can afford losing implants and ships by the dozen).

I can't fly a Venture.

Oh. god. (simulation)

Fleet is up Join Channel: HighSec DickFleet. and X up for an invite.

We will be heading out in about an hour.

Damn just noticed the time of the fleet. I'm taking my son to a birthday party here in a few minutes. Please do another fleet! I'll try to join if you guys are still out when I get home.

Good luck!

We are now.



Not a BS to be seen anywhere.
We made it fairly deep into GoonSpace before dying on a series of gatecamps. We swarmed through the first two, after that we started getting picked off pretty easily.

I was red-boxed by about a dozen even as I was burning to the gate.
BOOM, baby!


Didn't actually accomplish anything except to generate giggles. Mission accomplished.

Please tell me you guys destroyed at least one ship?

are you all dead yet?

Well, at least they had fun.

---

Oh god.

Respect.

Most likely the answer is yes they are and probably without one kill to speak of. I DO love player emergent gameplay as it is the life blood of EVE.

So how many were in the fleet? I'm so sorry I missed it! Hopefully you guys will want to go out again and again today. Might I suggest seeding a few hundred fully fit fleet doctrine ships in contracts in New Caldari?

We had 10 in fleet, not quite enough to turn the fight on the gate camps. Fun none the less. My first time in nul!

Yup - No kills. Other than ourselves.
What of it? Low-cost and something different than sitting about on our butts whinging about how terrible EVE is.

Thanks to all who made it out.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=18252689

Maybe we should invade with Talwars next time, seems to be a favorite.

Translation: There's a thread? And I'm not in it? wait, guys, look at me post!

There were rather a lot of them, yah?
Still - that raises the price of the fun. And i'd have to train a buncha skills I've mostly ignored hithertofore
