I come into this topic regularly and it's a laugh everytime. Harry is doing a prime job sticking it to the Goons. I love how his objective-based mindset clashes with the outlook of competative PVP players and generates this whole discussion and drama about -of all things- bloody warp core stabilizers. In one word: hilarious!  |

In one word: hilarious!  You realise he's not "sticking it" to anyone. If he didn't kill the cyno pilot, they would probably send alts out to kill themselves to save on the timer. I can't wait for all of these noobs expecting action to turn up and suddenly realise that he spends hours on end just sitting outside the station waiting for people to undock. It's gonna be the least fun they've had in a while.
I know dude. But he's poking and people respond, often with usefull advice he might or might not start using. He's turning this place into a 40 page lolfactory expos+Že. I'm fully aware it has no serious impact on daily in-game Goon life as it is, but he's sticking it to the Goons like rock n' roll stuck it to the man. That didn't exactly change much either, but it sure was fun and it pissed a lot of people off. I can sincerely appreciate his drive, as a lot of people don't come close in terms of determination. He's putting a lot of thought in this effort and I applaud his will to strike despite his losses, despite people telling him he's doing it wrong. I'm just rooting for the underdog here and I hope his efforts will grow into an actual problem for Goonswarm! |

Then I stand corrected, I didn't realize the place was empty AND Goons get to keep it without defending it. That strikes me as weird in Eve Online but whatever. Can't he start anchoring SBUs if there's no-one to stop that? |

Thanks for the concise explanation. 50% of the gates need an SBU right? A fundraiser for a couple of 100m shouldn't be outside of Harry's capacities, nor would be recruiting a blockade runner. The bottleneck is (unsurprisingly) the enormous amount of HP to chew through once it is vulnerable. This challenge is indeed outside of his options and choice of ships, but that might change. This 40 page loltrain is a start to Harry's stardom.

I am glad you find yourself in a target rich environment. Is that a Bestower with a couple of command centers I see on your killboard? I have only skimmed it briefly but it confirms the place isn't empty. While the value of what you killed was low, it's potential return on investment (PI) was high. You seem to be disrupting their PI chains at least.
If you feel like bashing structures, why not go for the Customs Offices? They have way less HP then the IHUBs and are obviously in use. Also requires more then a catalyst but a determined BC fleet can already knock 'em over, some Battleships will make short work of them. The how and when of such an operation I leave up to you, but good luck in your campaign and keep us posted!  |
