    I don't think drugs are covered in the tutorial.

    They are really a fringe item, with very limited use. The drawbacks are really severe, although the severity (and chance of the drawback) is random. There are (very expensive, loot drop only) skills that you can train to lesson the drawbacks and the chance of them happening.

    The other real issue is that they are illegal in highsec.

    Goonfleet wiki, for people in MerchI.

    You can also check the effects of boosters in EFT.

    Edit:
    The other real issue is that they are illegal in highsec.

    Synth boosters are legal in high-sec, have no side effects, and only have very marginal effects.

    What does being illegal in highsec actually mean? Like what happens if you should haul them into a station or through a gate?

    The effects on Synth boosters are so weak as to be almost useless. If you really need a booster for it's effect, you're going to use Standard or better

    Confiscation, standing loss, fine. It's actually listed in the Empire stats pages ingames which items are illegal in their space and what the effects are.

    Customs agents that scramble and web you, with a pop up giving you the option to surrender the drugs or die. A more important restriction is you also can't contract them, even in 0.0 or places where they are legal.

    You can also move them through highsec in a covops if you don't lounge around at gates, and stay cloaked as you warp around. The custom agents aren't "instant death" like Concord.

    I never tried it but can you blow up the Customs agents or will they rape you (or alternatively summon the real Concord)?

    Hmmmm. How much does that shield cost you Gnome?

    I paid 550m for mine, which is a bit of a deal. They go for ~600m normally.

    Bah. I'm happy when I have a 150m buffer in my wallet and am ecstatic when I have 300m (which I'm currently approaching). Guess it's waiting until MerchI gets back into 0.0 and I can rat for a bit.

    MerchI isn't in 0.0 right now?

    It isn't much of a story. DBRB is the fleet commander. I won't say a fleet commander, because he muscles out anyone else who tries to learn how.

    As far as skill goes, he rates a fair.

    Can't the Fleet interface handle up to around 250 ships?

    But yeah, the only thing separating a party from a raid in Eve is how many hulls you have tagging along.

    They'll burn themselves out again pretty soon. We just lack shit to do right now to keep people angry at 'them' instead of 'us'.

    Good to see POS shooting ops back up, though. Goonwaffe is on the rise again!

    256 I think: 1 fc, 5 wc, 5 squads of 10 per wing. When we were defending stations in Delve we would usually need to split the subcap fleet in two because we had too many people.

    people generally like merchi except for dbrb, the only pubbie corp left that really grates the nerves is ds1

    You know, I think the death of that ship was the only ethical thing anyone could have done. Keeping it alive like that would break torture conventions somewhere.

    Maybe he was moving cargo and ran out of cargo space, so he used his Armageddon's cargo space as well, then decided to transport a few more modules by fitting them on the ship at random?

    But...he doesn't have anything in his cargohold. And he has ammo for all his guns. And the mods he has aren't worth to even bother moving rather than just putting them up on the market or slagging them. And that still doesn't excuse breaking the cardinal rule of fitting.

    That Drake I will excuse, because the fitting looks like a (shitty) ratting setup. Of course, why he has a shield boost amplifier with no associated shield booster on a passive tanking ship is beyond me.

    The hardeners (in the abstract) are a ratting fit.

    The incorrect hardeners and the mix of missile launchers would fit into the "shitty" ratting setup.
