We'll be all around Fountain. In, around, and in between. Here, There, and Everywhere. -Sung by The Beatles, Sun Tzu, and your psycho ex-girlfriend

You say that as if some of us could have girlfriends in the first place.

I doubt the mind at all.

Its kind of awwwww that cute. Generally you guys are no more than an annoyance when people have other things that they need to do.

Highsec newcomers, a quick briefing if you haven't been following:
-Get in an affordable ship. Fit a cloak if you like. Cloaks are good for extended behind the lines operations, but not essential for more experienced people.
-Set destination for VFK_IV. Check your map for recent pod kills. If you see a glowing camp spot, consider your options. Decide whether to chance it or let them sit there bored. If you don't like the current scene, relax. Run a mission, do your exploration, whatever you're working on. Fit up your stable of reserve ships, take a smoke break, whatever. Come back and check your map again when you're ready. You'll see where some bored campers said, "Err, got to go, bye guys good luck."
-Plot your route. Remember your objective is to get past the highsec-nullsec border systems and get deeper into Goon systems. Any Goon system will work. Get there, throw down your sleeping bag, and plan on living there for awhile. Now you're in the bush and ready to go in any direction.
-Hang out in SpaceJunkys chat channel. Join up with other nature campers for combined shooting. Or tell jokes and post videos. Or just hang out and do your own thing, with your brethren.
-Watch out for lame spais in SpaceJunkys. No need to be paranoid-- you can spot them by the way they don't say anything, or are just all around bad actors. Again, no need to be overly suspicious. We know who's who.
-Pick off locals in Goon space. Say hello in Local first, if you like. They're mostly pretty friendly, some have pretty good b.s.. Send them to their reward in Goonvana, or see if they can manage to catch you and send you to 'Bear Mountain. If they do, suit up and do it again! That's what we do.
-Don't forget to entertain a Goon while you're at it. Damn they're bored.

Last note: Be in VFK before July 28 for the Goons Doomsday shoot-out event. They're looking forward to it at least as much as we are.

had a blast yesterday and setup a "Treasure Box" with one shell of my bullets in there :D

This does sound like high sec PVP.

Or is it the Fourth Generation Karma righteous asymmetric warfare of attrition paradigm Herzog has been talking about?

you are again very short sighted Joe, what do you think would fly into the direction of the box when I'm finally sitting in my bomber? at the moment I'm just gathering intel on the goblins in goonland...

knowing a lot about their behaviour patterns will be useful as soon as my skilltraining finished...

The boyz there have a bad habbit to use instalocking boats, you aware arent'ya Harry?

I would say a instacane can blap you before you can warp. Just for you to know.

yea have seen those, I would not engage them in my destroyer, I concentrate more on frigs and hauler...

with the bomber I'm not sure yet, maybe try shooting one from the distance... but I might just stay away from them until I'm sitting in a tengu :)

edit: actually I might even build one of those instacane as well, sounds useful for my mission

I klnow you hate when i tell you you can't do something but:

You can't make a cloaky instacane with warp core stabilizers.

This does sound like high sec PVP.

nice one Khergit, had a blast yesterday and setup a "Treasure Box" with one shell of my bullets in there :D goon slowley sneaked up on it to find the hidden goody, was so funny some really looked at it, just jettison one round or some other stuff and give the box a funny name :D nothing better then giving goons important things to do :) ...he was a cool guy though had a good laugh about it in local :D

who said I make them cloaky with stab?

awww, important goon number 5395 telling us he's doing important stuff, sweet...

Still, I cannot understand the hate. I was under the impression that the nullsec community would welcome these ideas. Goons most of all even, for they tend to relish in this sort of activity - at least when they are not the target of it.

That's the crux of the social and psychological dynamic at work. Bullies often sing a different tune when confronted by someone willing to stand up to them. It challenges their worldview and they don''t have the emotional capacity to understand why someone would question their activities. Cognitive dissonance is a foundational aspect of their ideology, and other types of emergent game play challenge their own narrow social views.

That's why they are bullies.

here some more footage from the front, look closely how i shoot down that PI hauler infront of mittanigrad... engage a leagon afterwards, bomb some stuff with the russians, chase iterons, escape a vexor with 10% structure just to engage another ship seconds after it, thats what i call hungry for goon kills... sabre escaping, torpedos flying... and i even mixed in some cynokills to keep everybody happy

EPIC

Hmm - stabs, web.. cloak - hey guys that's a PVP fit and you don't need to spend years grinding ISK, racking up SPs, and then join a nullsec alliance to use those things.

I recommend everybody using 2 stab early on, its perfect to try and engage some solo frigs and in case you are not able to make it, warp out and try the next one... perfect for training, and it makes going to VFK worth it because you survive longer...

perfect to gain experience... everybody in null will tell you its stupid to put those on, because they can not grab you then if you just engage solo targets, thats what they hate the most, their advantge is gone and you can use them just as sparring partners :D

for a newb this is perfect because you can go there and engage multible fights without dying, good for motivation and sometimes you even get a kill...

there are even NPC stations around where you can repair armor or structure of your ship in case you got damaged... with this tactic i can fight, get kills and do not loose ships very often...

I do not even have to leave null and go back through the problematic first gatecamps... just safe logoff in VFK, thats how everybody should do it

Send us a message with the locations of the NPC stations. Very useful for staying out in the field longer.

Because looking it up on Dotlan is hard.
