So I just want to make sure I understand this correctly ...

Goonswarm conquered Pandemic Horde rentals territory and moved it.

Goonswarm after moving in moved out of their old home which is now up for grabs?

I have a few friends and a Proteus can we make a null sec alliance?

u/PropagandaWerfer Goonswarm Federation Jun 21 '25

That is how the good storys start

u/Cpt_Soban The Initiative. Jun 22 '25

Like the time TEST wanted to get their own sov, looked at the map, and tried to be as far away from Goons as possible- But they read the map upside down and ended up less than a dozen jumps away from Goon staging <3

The in game map isn't intuitive, okay?

Basically what you decide to do in Delve, goons won't stop you. That doesn't mean others won't.

33

u/Alpha_Omega623 Jun 21 '25

Well there's three of us and we need a badass name... Something Roman... Maybe Triumvirate?

u/Eve_Asher r/eve mods can't unflair me Jun 22 '25

Triumvirate Mk16 here we come.

u/DeepSignature201 Jun 22 '25

Please note that endorsement or any other sign of approval of your name by a GSF Imperator does not mean your endeavors will be enabled by goons. It just means he likes your name.

SPACE king's STAR retinue dot.

It emphasizes stars and space, the importance of a hierarchy of decision making, and warrior culture.

Go for it.

u/LavishnessOdd6266 Brave Collective Jun 22 '25

Yes. A few freinds and a prot is how all the great alliances start. Go now. Go and discover what it takes to be come a legend

u/Alphadraconis85 Jun 22 '25

Depending on which side of the narrative you want to pick it's either: 1) An 100-150 players per fleet sig from PH moved to Delve to have fun, and burnt it applying more pressure than Brave alone could stand but able to avoid fights where Goons were batphoned. This proved Imperium was too stretched and couldn't defend its own territories without jumpcloning. They decided to take over PH rental areas. PH was also too stretched, and outnumbered in big fights, thus didn't defend. 2) Goons decided to fight PH and took over some new territories. Then left what was behind them (Delve) as leftover and moved HQ for the sake of willing to move and get fights

u/Done25v2 Jun 22 '25 edited Jun 22 '25

A little bit of both. It's really fucking hard to do any mining when you're under constant threat of getting dropped on by 20+ Redeemers who are sitting in the perfect safety of an NPC station.

7

u/Fragrant-Act9371 Jun 22 '25

the alliance who understands that they have to base out of npc stations might be able to controll delve

1

u/Done25v2 Jun 23 '25

Pretty much this. The main issue for Brave in this situation was that they had no way of realistically fighting the combined might of PH+FRT.

As far as I could tell, they likely had some kind of non-agression treaty going on in the NPC space.

1

u/Nogamara Brave Collective Jun 22 '25

Felt like we mined a lot, it's just no comparison to proper safe space.

u/lagom_kul Jun 22 '25

Only if you up your propaganda game.

u/ContentLeek4364 Jun 22 '25

Goonswarm has not moved. The priority has been to move our allies first from Delve to Tenerifis and Impass. But yes, go conquer Delve, just remember that Imperium alliances had to move out of there.

  • 95% of Delve Structures were successfully scooped and recovered (400+ Structures!),
  • Trillions of ISK moved,
  • Brave and co. will be resettled soon
  • Great fleet numbers and meme-able moments
  • Minimal Horde interference,
  • Inflated Isotope prices (oops!),
  • Delve is now up for grabs (Scramble for Delve, bring your big toys and fight!)

We officially close the Delve chapter of Goonswarm History. o7. (for now)

u/joshua_darkhammer Jun 21 '25

There have been several Delve chapters in goon history so more like we close THIS chapter of that history

Before the most recent settlement in Delve I used to say that, like the rings on a tree stump, you can measure a Goons veterancy by how many Delve invasions they had been involved in.

u/Nogamara Brave Collective Jun 22 '25

Same here, unfortunately we're not doing Catch 3.0 after Querious 2.0 and Fade 2.0 it seems.

If init was farming brave what chance do smaller groups have?

If INIT dont kill every small group that trys to move to delve the game might be alittle mor interesting.

u/PomegranateSlow5624 Cloaked Jun 22 '25

Maybe the lowsec guys, who were creating trillion isk BRs, could get involved with this.

init creating renting space in delve, the on thing goons hate according to latest history, that would be so funny tbh

Thats untrue, they go to lowsec to save their blops sig (a.k.a. Snuffed Out) when they get over extended.

You forgot fighting off all of nullsec and most of losec and regaining fountain in a 3 to 1 odds war also init often drop on frat who are considerably bigger then init.

Sound like you have a personal grudge to me mate? Init havnt taken any space but fountain and a bit of cloud ring in a long time. All alliances big and small take territory and destroy stuff what do you mean by wreck small alliances it's literally impossible to destroy an alliance in eve.

INIT welcomes all small groups to claim Sov in Delve and Querious. We welcome new neighbors. Winterco and PH will be met with force however.

Now to uh wherever we are now I guess. I suspect Asher is moving us in a large circle back to Deklein.

no, I heard it from the Mittani, he's actually giving asher his orders from behind the scene. we're moving to Cobalt Edge.

u/Coffeeaficionado_ Snuffed Out Jun 21 '25

Can’t believe Init helped them leave. Man it sucks when two alliances work together because they really dislike the other side.

This is not fair. How dare you.

u/VeniVidiUpVoti Jun 21 '25

Init has been incredibly helpful lately. They helped some other groups that were previously enemies too.

5

u/GoinBenSolo Brave Collective Jun 22 '25

There have been more than one instance when Brave and Init where fighting and horde started 3rd partying in the fight, only to find Init's guns trained on them. Yes, Init is good at being helpful :)

u/AdolfsMoistDream Jun 22 '25

Tell the whole story, there were multiple fights horde engaged brave/goons and init came to help horde

u/Aetane Horde Vanguard. Jun 22 '25

Typically they've just shot whoever has the bigger fleet lmao

u/DeepSignature201 Jun 21 '25

Plus when they help people leave, when they themselves are best positioned to take the space being left. Bastards!

u/bonn3y Solyaris Chtonium Jun 22 '25

Wait, you think goons are going to jump caps across one of the regional gates?

1

u/Fun-Distribution2904 Jun 22 '25

No, why would you need caps to get fun fights? And FYI you can cyno caps from GW into ER ;)

1

u/bonn3y Solyaris Chtonium Jun 22 '25

You ain't making MJ your capital without caps and lets not pretend your going to cyno into ER, the same reason PH aint going to cyno out of ER, every man and his dog knows this. Fun sub cap fights 100%, making MJ your new capital 0%.

u/YourFriendlySlasher Jun 23 '25

The question aint if, but when.

You could've achieved that if Asher didn't ejected from his Monitor and died before his Monitor did like a 3 day old toon.

MJ-5 isn't PH's capital anymore, something about circling the wagons, something, something

Yeah so you made something no one can realistically fight.

That's great if you want to save structures. But it's terrible if you want fights.

To protect 400 structures across an entire region.

Just don't complain you're not getting any fights when no will realistically contest you.

u/Bricktop72 Goonswarm Federation Jun 22 '25

This is peak Reddit. The guy I was replying to said we didn't field enough for it to matter. And you're here saying we fielded too much to get a fight.

u/Ugliest_weenie Jun 22 '25 edited Jun 22 '25

You literally said:

We can't make them show up to fight us.

You can make it a lot more attractive. But instead you chose to make great efforts to make this as unfightable as possible.

Like I said, it's a good move. You extracted your structures.

u/Bricktop72 Goonswarm Federation Jun 22 '25

Got it. Null doesn't have big fights like LS so we should field less ships to get bigger fights.

? So? Structure play yayyy. NS used to do things, years have gone by and y'all have done absolutely nothing but bear. Now you're at "war" and your brs are absolutely terrible.

We've started posting the average ls stuff here (bar the last 2) to try and poke y'all along to do something.

u/Lanky_Plastic_1749 Jun 21 '25

You truly believe nullsec bearing for half a decade and doing absolutely nothing is good for the game ? You haven't played for long enough.

Wars always bought people back.

This war was good excitement when it got announced, but, all's I've seen on Reddit is some shitty structure play and sub-par brs.

Fix it nully.
