God Squad was only good at meltdowns, rage quitting, and taking battleclinic way too seriously.
I guess the best overall killer would be Marmite, because 20t is respectable for Highsec (I guess). |

Real talk- How many highsec merc groups get hired at 150b+ to just push F1 though?

There were a bunch of good groups back in the day, Privateers, Snatch Victory, Private Nuisance, 0rphanage, The Dark Tribe and a few others I can't remember anymore. |

Roenok Baalnorn wrote:The general impression is that null fighting is a bunch of pushing F1 while a FC screams at you. First if you have an FC that is screaming, he isnt a good FC. The normal response out of people who are being yelled at is to ignore the person doing the yelling. No one wants to hear that especially in video game. So a screaming FC is going to be less effective than one that doesnt need anger management.
*shrug* Not all nullsec groups are created equal. Occasionally people derp out over silly things, but for the most part PL fleets are nice and chill- I couldn't imagine flying under someone like DBRB ever again (if you're unacquainted, he screams/shouts non-stop). Some SuperCap FC's get a bit overzealous at time, but when you call for several trillion in assets to jump into a hostile grid- that can be a bit more stressful than welping a subcap fleet.

I love small gang work. I just prefer it in null where i dont have to worry about wardecs, concord, station games and hide and seek. Just blitz through a region catching who you can. Sometimes you end up with a few MTUs and sometimes you catch a carrier with his pants down and no one to rescue him:)
I did the High Sec thing for quite a while, several years ago. In target focused groups like Devils, and in the mass dec trade hub camping groups like the 0rphanage. Hell, at one point I was even +6 Taloses to a miniluv freighter gank group. The payout is there, for sure- simply because most highsec mission bears never think their purple autism chariot is ever in danger- so a simple gank can greatly inflate your wallet, but those are the minority in a world of frigate and destroyer kills and that's just boring.
I much prefer the often touted 'f1 monkey' life, but where we have 50-60 dudes, and we're fighting 200. There's a certain excitement in using a subcap, a dread and a super all in the same fight; too bad recent capital changes make this a near impossibility. |

So high sec does have its problems but merc on merc is pretty cool in high sec.
I do miss having null sec roams...
I have links, logi, implants and drugs at my disposal in any sector of space.
I also can't think of a single ship that benefits from 10b in fitting mods that isn't a super capital/AT ship; the gains are minimal on all but a few modules, and 3% resists or hp isn't going to save you from getting disconnected or being badly outnumbered. After briefly combing your losses, 10b sounds like a neat number, but you don't really need to exaggerate. You can however explain to all of us how you seem to consistently lose 4b+ pods to battleships in High Sec though. |

officer props give 10% extra speed bonus on heat, which comes down to 150-250ms on say a mach. Officer scram/points add allot of range, as well as more scram strength; scrams easier to fit than heavy warp scrams too by quite a margin. officer cap boosters drop the time on each boost by a fair bit. webs add allot of range.
apart from those specific mods i agree; not worth the buck. but on these modules imo it does add a fair bit.
10% extra speed for 3 cycles of heat isn't worth the price tag or extra fitting cost to me.
Warp Scrams are debatable, the 10 point officer scrams are niche at best, because lol 3k powergrid isn't easy to give up on a lot of hulls, and if you do go that direction you're often giving up a plate or downsizing your guns. I use one of these on my Redeemer, but that's a 5% PG Implant (which gets complicated with slaves/snakes).
I really can't think of a single instance where having an officer web on a battleship would serve as anything other than bragging rights- it's not like you're trying to keep people in bubbles and more often than not, people are too stupid to burn away. If web's really are a huge factor, just bring a Vindicator/Huginn. |

You responded with just use a recon 5 alt. but thats another toon to multibox/keep plexed. easier to just fit an officer mod, both on pilotting as on iskies.
capice?
So- using 2-3b mods is no big deal, but keeping an alt plexed somehow is a big deal?  |

Valkin Mordirc wrote:Roenok Baalnorn wrote:Luukje wrote:1 plex/month costs more for me than 1 officer mod, as long as i keep my undying streak up.  A counter argument would be that a plex has far more utility than an office mod. Although I'd rather use an alt over bling, using multiple accounts actively takes up an annoying amount of multitasking, I generally have a scout and two combat alts, The scout is pretty passively used, if I had to add in another "active" alt, like a logi alt into the mix I tend to start making mistakes and such. If I can avoid it I try to keep myself down to two accounts at minimum, so I can see why somebody might want to try and use less accounts and supplement with bling. I've lost High grade pods just because I've been distracted by trying to move another account around.
I have a Subcap Main (Xolve), 2 Super Pilots and a Titan Pilot, and 3 Recon/Cyno alts (~50m SP) and the regular stuff, like a JF/Rorq alt, Jita standings alt on 4 seperate accounts, plus 2 <60 alts with 25m SP I solo roam with in Lowsec; there's just something about that [-10.0] ticker that scares the **** out of people.
I also have enough isk to boosh a 25m SP alt into being whenever I feel the need.
Find me an officer mod that can do all that, and I'll buy them all. |

Luukje wrote:Yeah i run a main, with 2 alts which are usually in nestors, and an occator with shitton of capboosts + a links/scout. Difference between xolve and me is is that i have to actively use 4 accounts in a combat situation, where i usually end up being on my own vs a blob of 5-20. I dont care if you are online with 20 alts, you're not actively pilotting all 20 of them. imo 3-4 is the max you can pilot without being too god awful slow (in subcaps).
I actively use a subcap, triage/dreads, and a super if needed.
The difference between you and I is that I tend to fight people that shoot back, and while maybe not solo- we're usually at a significant number disadvantage, all in an area of space where I risk everything and usually don't have a station to go cower in. |

I said we were often outnumbered, which we are; 50-100 vs 300 is still pretty outnumbered.
But    at this guy comparing himself to me when he's killed less than 50 ships with guns on them in the last 2 months, for a total isk value less than what we killed on Saturday.
"Skilled Highsec PvP" isn't a thing, no matter how bad Luukje wants it to be. |

If you have one noob in a highsec small fleet, you could be ******.

It's a bad example of what makes a group great according to individual skill and especially regarding high sec mercenaries it just muddies the conversation. this exactly. Xolve doesnt seem to get how i find a 1v3 harder than a 100v300. the individual skill gets shown more in smaller skirmishes. I've been there, and done that xolve. i've had massive brawls in wh's, kiting fights in null/low/wh/high stretching over 1000km. All of this is pointless as you cant seem to relate to high sec pvp. You're looking at it with ur pink nullsec goggles. Fact is, you probally havent been in any (decent) high sec pvp. The silly statement of nothing fights back is just as silly, as they do try to drop on me on a regular basis, i just pilot my way out of it. you're 90% in massive gangs on ur kb; you could be the biggest noob and tag along f1'ing and you would still do fine as long as you anchor and follow broadcasts. i'm not saying youre a bad player; you're just in a totally different playstyle opposite me. I believe you aren't informed enough as to make statements to high sec pvp.
I enjoy micro-gang the most, but it's not always feasible when you're living in a system with 700 hostiles or when you're staying in sparsely populated areas of space. I've done everything except wormholes for years, because some how I've been rich enough to sustain myself without resorting to shooting little red boxy things, and to be perfectly honest, kill people and taking their stuff is more than enough income for me .
Funny you should mention KB stats, since most of your kills are either frigates dying to an insta-locking ship, shuttles/haulers of various sizes or mission-bear ships that while technically could fight back, they're not really much of a risk in your machariel are they?
As for high sec corps go- at one point I owned upwards of 30 pilots. I've been in The 0rphanage, Snatch Victory, The Dark Tribe, Devil's Warriors Alliance, We Form Voltron, Project Nemesis, Private Nuisance, OG Somali Coast Guard and served as a long time Red Federation FC in RvB. Hell at one point I was semi-notorious for war deccing EVE-Radio, just because some white knights said I wouldn't. I'm also 'that guy' that got banned from half a dozen RP channels (lol) because I was a director in a reddit based faction warfare corp that decided it would be more fun to shoot the friendly militia as well, and that the empress could go **** herself.
I don't think it's possible for you to be any more wrong, Mr. 2011. People don't join PL to be elite solo pvpers, they join to take hostile fleets to the own zone and actually use caps, black ops and other fun ships on the regular. How people outside of PL feel about that is something none of us are very concerned about. |

When it's so abstract that probably explains why it's so hard to define the answer using statistics or ISK figures. Perhaps the best indication is who people are afraid of. This is why I say Cannibal Kane because he was just one guy who commanded the recognition enjoyed by most merc corp or alliances.
If you don't go to highsec, is there really anything to be afraid of?
PL came up because limiting 'who is the best mercenary alliance' to High Sec is stupid, especially in a forum that was once dedicated to low sec. |

Dreads are the battleships of Null Sec, people just flat out barely use battleships out here (they die to bombs and get dumpstered by AHACs).
