ohnoes!

ohnoes!

Now who says that Goonswarm never does anything for the rest of Eve?

Not suprising considering Helicity Boson is back.

Who is the artist behind these things? http://www.machine9.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/hagV.jpg

Perhaps this time Hulkageddon will manage to kill more than 1% of the active hulk population. All the previous hulkageddons were terrible.

You're terrible.

Drama Singularity is imminent!

*you are

Are we bad people?

Not suprising considering Helicity Boson is back.

This might just be the best holocaust ever.

What does it mean to send a congratulatory eve mail? Send an eve mail to Helicity w/ 10 killmails?

The 99 Percent will fight back against the evil goonie menace.

MEN, YOUR TIME HAS COME

Still confused about who is spanking your butt?

This should be interesting, given the current market..

But, better now, than, say, the day Inferno goes live with all the market changes.

ohnoes!

You're not paying enough attention. this is only DAYS after inferno goes live.

I'm gay.

dear publords,
welcome to the scrub dumpster
population: you

This might just be the best holocaust ever.

With that avatar's pose, this is one of the funniest posts of the Year !

It's like ****** and John Waters' secret love child.

EDIT: Apparently you can't use Adolf's last name, but you can drop n-bombs on the forums. Cool filter!

I like your tagline,

Ohh poor silly goon chillrens. Nobody in high sec cares about your plans to occupy jita like a bunch of dirty hippies.
"....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced."

That's funny.

That was the week that it was, that is for sure. Pretty amazing stuff. Horrible in lots of ways, but amazing.

It is IRONIC is it not that 6 asterisks totally reveals the name anyway. It's obviously not Nero or Caligula.

Is Helicity Boson now a goon pet?
Please say no.

Always thought she was...

D@mn ...
Helicity is dead to me now.

Is Helicity Boson now a goon pet?
Please say no.

When is this starting as im building Destroyers like crazy and i need to cash in on this. But Bosen already knows this and has her stock already in Jita.


ive got a hulk and i might just supertank it for the lols and see how long it lasts for

Remember me, Fat Man? I led the fleet that took your station and system.......
I'M COMING FOR YOU


THE CFC WILL BURN NEW EDEN TO THE GROUND!
FIRST, YOUR MARKET HUB(S)
NEXT, YOUR MINERS
THEN...........


Y O U

I'm back looks like just in time for some Goonpod pie :)

I love the smell off goonpod pie in the morning

After months of threats, murmurs, cheers, belches...Hulkageddon is ON?
Wait...we're having network difficulties. Our broadcast will be delayed, again.

Indeed it is. once again my apologies for the delay, real life sadly takes precedence over spaceships.

So "leet", bored null-sec blob fleet monkeys will once again prove their awesomeness by shooting civilians?

And this required a thread outside mining/industry, because?

excuses excuses

Better late than never right?

Lets just go ahead and rise the price of tritanium 30 or 50 isk

Once again Hulkageddon and the burning of Jita.

Still goes to prove your in game personality is an awful lot alike your real life personality wanting to pick on the weaker guys. well maybe you should pull your head from your butt and remember something......New Expansion and tweaking happen before hulkageddon.

But then again these guys build your ships you like to see pop. Maybe its time they raise the prices on said ships and screw you gankers over before it starts or during.

How the hell is a hulk weaker than a thrasher? What color is the sun in your world?

The ignorance, as every year, is startling.

The bears never seem to grasp, that every time they undercut someone else's order, they are doing the same thing we do when we blow up their ships; hampering someone else's financial progress.

EVE is dog eat dog and zero sum; whenever you win, someone else loses.

The sooner we can get this drilled into your heads, the quicker you will stop crying and embrace the amazing sandbox we have been given to play with.

I'd embrace you anytime my dear.

But in reality I suspect it would be two middle aged fat guys humping.

why do I have a vision of sea lions wrestling

I made that.

If these industrial fools got their act together, they could make a fearsome Battle-Hulk fleet, boosted by combat Orcas with gang warfare links...

The funny thing is that if the industrialists partook in at least some pvp in their Eve lives they'd have a greater grasp of what was going on and how to counter it instead

Oh yeah and you're 110% pubbie.

You see, they can't take their titan blobs into Jita.

And that's one of the many reasons I will never allow the point of Eve being a sandbox.

Back to post, unless all of you guys have somehow managed to find a way to cause all the stars in the game to go kablooey, it'll be less of a burn and more of some firecrackers going off in the street. Afterwards, everyone will stand around looking bored and slowly disperse.

But kudos to the tough talkers, I bet you posed in the mirror and everything, holding your lipstick tubes sideways as you point them at the mirror and ramble off some cliched urban smacktalk.

Have fun storming the castle.

Looks like it's the right time to dust those destroyer and turret blueprints

Dealing with Concord

Ganking relies on doing enough damage before CONCORD shows up and ends the party. That means if CONCORD is already in the belt, you can't gank: they will instantly jam you as soon as you fire. So if CONCORD ships are already in the belt, you need to move them out so you can get the full amount of ganking time.

In addition, the first spawn of the day will arrive 6 seconds early: it takes 6 seconds for CONCORD to warp once they are 'alerted' (alert time varies by sec status, anywhere from near immediate to 15+ seconds), but if they haven't been spawned they will merely spawn right on top of you. If you're the first person to gank in the system that day you need to "prep" the system: go get a newbie ship and shoot something in a non-ice belt or shoot a pos. Once you're destroyed, the system is ready.

CLEANING UP YOUR OWN CONCORD SPAWN

Cleaning up your own CONCORD spawn, so other people can make their own attack runs, is actually really easy. Dock at the closest station to the belt you just ganked in, then immediately undock in a newbie ship and don't move - simply drift for 30 seconds with your docking immunity. This will pull CONCORD to you, and since you have your docking immunity sentry guns will not kill you before CONCORD gets there. If multiple people participated in a gank, they should all do this at the same time.

Please make sure to clean up your own CONCORD spawns whenever possible: it makes life easier for everyone else and really isn't very difficult.

CLEARING OTHER PEOPLE'S CONCORD SPAWNS

Sometimes clever pubbies, or lazy goons, will leave a spawn in a belt. You need to get rid of that before you gank, or you'll be instagibbed when you gank (unless you're in a Galtpest).

Concord usually only spawns one fleet per system. Concord, once spawned, will travel from place to place dealing with anything that shoots something they shouldn't. That means you just need to summon CONCORD somewhere else: take a newbieship in an alt and plink something - a GSC, or the staging pos. Just don't do it near faction police or sentry guns, so you don't die before CONCORD gets there.

If two people gank at once, however, there will be two fleets. It appears that the closest spawn is the one that moves: ergo get closer to the spawn you want to move (nearby belt, nearby pos, whatever) than the one you don't, then summon it. If all else fails, use safespots just off-grid. Don't worry about CONCORD being close: they take a flat 6 seconds to warp regardless of distance.

IDIOT'S GUIDE TO GANKING

1)ADD CONCORD TO YOUR OVERVIEW. Seriously. Otherwise you're not going to notice Concord is already in the belt and get waxed immediately.

2)Make a hotkey for "engage drones". I like to use F9, then line up all of my mods I'm going to fire next to it, so I can mash, say, f4,f5,-f9. Drones are a key part of your dps and you need them engaged asap.

3)Do you have a high enough sec status to fly around in the system without getting gibbed by the faction police? Great! You should probably stock up the SMA with a few ships while you still can, and train a Mr. Happystandings (see below). If not, see the section below on life as a pirate.

4)A gank is 'lined up' with an alt. This alt futzes around the belt, and then sits next to a juicy-looking target. Your ganking ship then warps to your alt. If the miner is watching, they may notice you sitting next to them and get the **** out - if that happens, just line up a new gank. Even non-bots only pay attention every 10m or so.

5)Warp to your alt. Launch drones, then come to a complete stop (if you're in a blaster ship). Lock the target, then fire/tp/scram/web, then hit your engage drones hotkey (you made one, right?). Now, watch and wait. Once the ship blows up, use your alt (the one you lined up the gank with) to scoop the loot, then loot your own ship when CONCORD blows it up. Warp both your pod and your alt back to the closest station.

6)Immediately board a rookie ship or shuttle with your ganking alt, and undock. Don't touch anything after you do: wait for CONCORD to blow you up. You've just cleared CONCORD from the belt so the next guy can start his attack run.

7)Smack up local something fierce.

hulkageddon?

is that like a geddon with minning lazors?
