Ask White Noise about Branch.
Then ask them why they blamed their loss of the region on CCP and not being able to blow up stations.

Even if they make stations destructible, its still going to take forever to kill the damn thing, thats what nullsec needs you know, more structure grinds.. 
Funny how the guy suggesting this has no idea of how much outposts cost to build, how much of a pain in the ass it is to move station eggs around, and all the other logistical nightmares of outpost construction. Making them destructible doesn't mean it will be practical for anyone BUT the large sov powerblocks anyway.

Pubbies are anyone that doesn't have a SomethingAwful account; and is not defined by alliance/corp membership.
You can be a 'goon' in a number of MMOs, the community isn't inclusive to EvE.
Goons are a pretty well organized community, much more so then any other alliance or coalition in the game; the only runner up would be TEST (and thats because they built their structure around the goons, and they have linked services).
You can hate the CFC as much as you want, just like everyone else... pray the MaelSwarm never finds you.

RubyPorto wrote:[quote=Xolve] An SA account holder is a Goon, if I have the terminology right. So, a Pubbie is anyone who isn't a Goon. I think we agree. I agree with you on organization, Goons are amazingly cohesive. Not many alliances would survive whoopsing their entire Sov.  And who ever said I hate the Goons? Had I stayed in WI(no)DOT, I'd be in GoonSwarm(Alliance, no SA account here) now. I'd probably be having fun up to my ba lls flying with them like I did when in WI. But I didn't for ::Reasons:: So, I agree with you on all points except me disliking the Goons. I'll shoot them anytime I have the chance, but that's just cause we're not allies right now.
I think at the end of my statement I was more talking in general to anyone that dislikes Goons, since thats the popular thing to do these days, even seen people with 'Non-Goon Supporter' and 'Free Ice Mining' in their bios.
I thoroughly enjoy all my little bee brethren, flying with them is never dull; and even losing ships to "Jump, Jump, Jump, Get Points-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?" is always fun. Hell- I don't even mind boat telling everyone to shut up every 20 seconds so he can **** up comms at length for 45 minutes. Participating in a Goon invasion is always good time, light hearted and the directorate broadcasts make my panties wet with anticipation.
Edit: this is now yet another, Goon thread.

Several times we've managed to temporarily gain control of an outpost, but against massed bloc fleets "temporary" is the best we can do. As it is, all we can currently do is inconvenience them. Being able to actually destroy those outposts would at least give us the opportunity to inflict some lasting harm.
So you think the small guys could blow up potentially billions of ISK worth of goods in a station, and you little people could build outposts and restock them... without the 'power bloc' coming back and rapesaucing your station? Riiiight.

Food for thought:
People will defend CSAA's with much ferocity.. (unless White Noise.) and they only cost 2b, plus the super thats cooking inside of that; this is a perfect example for an 'alarm clock' strat op, whereas people will wake their sorry asses up to come defend someone's future Super.
Outposts cost more to build then Supers. Have multiple reinforced timers, and are generally No where close as quick to flip over as a Large Tower and Mods will explode. (CSAA can get vollied by a few battleships).
Conquering outposts takes time, multiple Ops, and the always fun bridging or the gawdawful '600 men through a star gate traffic control circle jerk'. ::Tinfoil:: All the assets in the station would likely be destroyed, all the ships, ammo, and everything else gone. No more firesales, no more free killmails from reds undocking from a station that isnt theirs anymore. It would completely re-shape the null-sec community.
So all the budding tiny alliances out there that can't currently conquer them, won't fare any better if they are destroyable.
Wanna know what happens to 200 people that form up to defend against the power bloc? Ask White Noise.
