EVE Online Empyrean Age: Not like the trailer but still really good
Posts
I've seen a bunch of people mentioning applying here, this news about a new enemy attacking has actually gotten me more interested in EVE than other MMOs, is it possible for me to join up with Merch? And if so what's the best race to train up for immediate fighting?
Propulsion jamming I
Microwarp Drive op 1[or whatever the skill that lets you use mwd's is]
Minmitar Frigate 3
You're set
I KISS YOU!
They added a new industrial ship called the Orca
Orca Eve-Wiki Article
If you are interested in mining though its not likely you will have much time at the moment. Goonswarm has been reset by Against All Authorities. Merch Industrial is based at the front lines. Mining is going to be hard to do for awhile.
Steam
So take what he says with a grain of salt of course he's going to have a different opinion of shit hth. This is probably one of the best times to start playing EVE
Its only been a 2 week+ wait so far >.>
I know the office at Gelfiven is still there, course that may be a long ways out for you if you're hanging out in Placid.

I'm actually far less bitter now though because -a- had a lot more pvp going on at all times (from main station-one bridge to hed gatecamp, 5 jumps from there to providence, 5 jumps from the station to curse, 5 to stain, 5 bridges+jumps to querious). POS war bums me out though hopefully feyth/eso fall quick and we can just run around in roaming gangs instead of waiting for someone to mistime a POS.
What corp are you in?
Nope it's going to be really boring and you're not actually going to be able to fight in one of the battles that are going on almost constantly in feythabolis right now. Oh well, maybe later it'll calm down and you can join then.
COL, I didn't realize there was another -a- guy who posts here
I'm not a huge fan of the whole 'online enemy' crap, just because people get reset doesn't mean they're any different. I've played other MMOs where I fraternize with the enemy just fine, it just seems goons take it personally. Some epsilons theorized it's because they're so used to rejection
I really do think it'll be a tz war though, unless there's a lot more alarm clock ops, it'll just be a battle of wills. yeah vvv that
sorry man, it's going to be long grindy pos timing goodness. mmm pos shooting/repping for months to come
Would it be worth it to dick around in a trial account for a week or so?

This jesus fuck. This is probably one of the best times to join with the way things are going post-AAA-reset. I am having loads of fun. We have all goons compressed into a few systems in feythabolis making them death traps for roving gangs, and easy US prime time action via stront timing. Having a bunch of our neighbors reset us is the best thing that's happened to goonswarm in some time.
Unlike what StormyWaters was implying, things are at the worst in goonswarm when everyone is just sitting around in their own safe little corner of space raking in isk. This is true even for newbies, who would otherwise discover EVE's isk-making game to be terrible.
On the other hand Quantum Rise introduced a shitty progressive performance decreasing bug which has already gotten me killed, but relogging fixes it kind of.
Well it's always like that after an expansion, not that specifically, but it’s always something or another that causes problems for everyone.

FUN TIMES.
As far as I can tell by reading the forums, these are all fairly rare problems that most people only get one at a time. It's like the game is actively trying to keep me from playing it again. Maybe someone told it all those nasty things I said when I canceled my sub.
Once in a while, merchi goes and rapes things with goonswarm
There is much raping though, be assured
Then let the rapage contiune. Though I think have some RL friends on the BoB side, but I dont think I'll let them know I'm playing this time around heh.
Out.
An infinite variety of poop jokes in alliance chat doesn't interest me.
"How was that rape train in feybolis yesterday?"
"Take down any bases lately? Ohh, of course not!"
Cant say as though I have seen any but then again I have only been in the corp for a little over a day and spent most of that time just getting skills queued and running some simple missions.
If I can tolerate barrens chat, this should be nothing.
You wouldn't have survived a week in Goonfleet.

So I don't really mind them(and yes I know 20m isk isnt a ton but it was a nice gesture)
Our old recruitment topic had a better intro to goonswarm, if the links still work: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=55869
The culture is strong, but I would not play with any other alliance, because goons know how to make a shitty boring game fun, and always need something to laugh at (each other if the game is boring), and encourage newbies to take leadership roles and get people killed. Repeatedly.
Also, being in the largest alliance gives one an opportunity to influence the game in very large ways (getting two members on the CSM for example), and you can be involved in every aspect of the game.
"Poop jokes" doesn't quite cover it.
Resubbing to defend the wangstar.
Confirming this. Saturday night I was part of the largest 99%-goonswarm fleet I've ever been in at like 300 people, and we raped a BS fleet in VNG.
Using lag and server stability as a weapon must be fun.
The fight had zero server lag. Grid load was normal for fleet fights, and only people that had poor bracket setups got hurt. Maybe next time troll.
However, getting majority in 0oy is nice, I wonder where Red Overlord will go next, JO-? K-9? 2-R? Who knows!
