if you join the corp
Get your ass to [strike]mars[/strike]nullsec right the fuck now
You don't "work your way up" to it. You literally kill yourself and pop in a clone in a station closer to the front lines. Ask for a frigate and then die again and then repeat over and over again.

their cap fleet sbu'd like half of tribute
crazy fuckers
alright I'm clearly not understanding you, then. What are you saying? Keep in mind when choosing the terms you use that I've been playing the game for all of a week.

edit: ahaha nice uki!
No, nobody has said anything like that. I, perhaps mistakenly, assumed that you worked your way up to it through agent missions. I must have gotten confused between goon space and empire space. I am probably just mixing up my terms and not communicating what I want very well. I don't know goon from empire space yet. I only know that I'm in 0.9 sec space and want to stop fighting NPC pirates that stand in line to fight me like a Steven Segal movie.
Your description fits what I want from the game. I just don't know how to prepare for it and I don't want to be the guy that hops into the middle of a war with a BB gun and a football helmet.
edit: jesus are you actually in MerchI yet? Both in game and out? Basically once you do that and you are actually in the corp you dock into the nearest station. Go the the cloning tab and buy a clone that can hold all your skill points and set it to a station as close to where you want it in nullsec as you can. Then you can either try and go there from empire and keep the ship you currently have(don't fucking do this. It will take hours) or leave the station in your pod and then self-destruct. You will then wake up in that new station and use the shitty free ship it provides you to get even closer. Ask corpchat for a frigate and then set up your base of ops in a station either on the front lines or close so you won't have to worry about it if the russians take over that space.

Isn't that pretty much Goon SOP anyway?
I KNEW IT!
you're more like a zulu warrior wielding a bola
Heading out to low sec goon space doesn't mean you have to contribute to the war. But also if you follow the goon newbie plan, you would have been able to fly tackling frigates within a day or two and could contribute to fleets by flying a cheap (and provided free by the alliance) frigate for the sole purpose of keeping enemies from warping away to safety. Yeah, you'll also die in a tackling frigate but out in goon space they will throw cheap frigates and money at you. You could spend days in high sec space doing missions and earning maybe 10 mil isk or just come out to goon space and they'll give you a newbie skill pack with skill books you'd otherwise have to buy yourself and people will usually even give you cruisers or even battlecruisers if you can actually fly and fit them out and ask nicely. Getting to lowsec goon space is also really easy. You don't have to fly there and worry about getting podded all along the lengthy, tedious, and highly dangerous trip. You just have to set your clone to a goon station (make sure it's upgraded enough to hold all your skill points), then while in station you leave your ship so you end up in your pod. Undock in your pod, warp to a planet or moon, then select self destruct. Wait for your pod to blow and wake up in goon space, ask for stuff.

The merch thread says I can rat with T1 equipment in goon space (or at least strongly implies it).
The guy in merch corp chat says that I cannot and should wait for T2
who is lying?
And if I can fly in T1, how should I fit it?
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
Tell him to fuck off and do it anyway and then probably get blown up

How is the war going?
you can, but it will go slowly and you'll need to run from stronger groups of guristas
get your heavy missiles trained up to V asap so you can train heavy missile specialization and then fit t2 heavies

What spring does with the cherry trees.

super serial actually
mittens is fucking pissed
taking away a goons ability to make bad posts is worse than attacking our space
A war of posting
I figured you were just too lazy to type out "sí"
goddamnit gil
he now exists as a 5 dimensional quantum energy state
he has a great joke he'd share with us, but our 3 dimensional minds couldn't possibly comprehend it
leave our space jobs alone
don't lie someone is gonna fucking make that as a propaganda
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
There are few things I can think of to get goons to actually log in and fight other than preventing them from posting.
this is dumb, all things "exist" in all dimensions equally :S
