Yeah once you get past the gate camps at the border of 0.0 you're home free for the most part. You won't see many people out there unless you know where to look, and if you do, run away lol. I tend to only go to 0.0 space in my Spec Op ships so I can just slip by if I'm alone.
what the hell am I watching?
Oh shit guys...a 3rd super power is supposedly on its way. Folks are mentioning Something Awful...not certain but if that is SA forums I dont know what that means.
Here's the latest update:
Also more detailed summary:
Interdiction spheres are everywhere right now and those prevent ships from leaving once they go in. This will not end.
i dunt understand
These crazy EVE battles would actually be pretty good inspiration for a sci-fi film or TV series.
All this over a rent payment? Damn, wait until it involves a girl...
Folks are saying PL lost this the moment the order for retreat was given and that CFC have this won...but I need to know if Goonswarm is a part of either. I dont know the factions and if Goon is CFC or what. If not...well could we be about to see the Goonswarm here to dig into the CFC and PL remaining ships to take them on in a weakened state? Someone clarify whats happening with them here.

goonswarm is in cfc i believe
Goonswarm operates the CFC. Much of the battle was decided in the early hours of the fight. This was a system owned by Nulli which their ally PL was staging out of. This is a massive blow for Nulli in the long term above all else.
Having played for a few years, I can count the number of times I've ever done a quest on one hand. You have to come into the game with the right mindset and preferably the right group of people. It's a social game, not a themepark mmo.
Its amazing stuff like this that really sets PC gaming apart from console gaming.
Just wait till Star Citizen lol.
Star Citizen looks like Eve Online with 2014 graphics and an even more detailed economy ( maybe )
Noob question, wasn't Goonswarm the ones that broke apart Band of Brothers a few years back? Is that group still around now?
Yep. They lead a coalition that controls half the galaxy at this point and are fighting a coalition, lead by old allies Pandemic Legion, that owns the other half. This battle looks to end that war I think.
Ah ok, how about the old band of brothers? Or have them been swallowed up by these 2 power blocs now?
It would be brilliant if a third, separate crew came in to clean up the scraps and take over for themselves.

As someone who has been in some of these huge fights before the story of it is a lot more fun than actually playing inside it.
EVE does have the craziest stories though.
Most of the corps are scattered between many alliances but the core corp, Evolution, runs its own small independent alliance that doesn't control any space.
Goonswarm originally broke up BoB. There is a lot of difference between the Goonswarm of today and the Goonswarm that destroyed BoB. Goonswarm is more seen as a coalition of tens of thousands today, than a few thousand person alliance. It's not primarily a SomethingAwful-based alliance anymore. Goonswarm focuses on its space empire and expansion.
How weakened are these two after this battle? What happens if the third largest moves in and joins the battle?
I always loved bumping people mining. Miners were so easy to piss off, I would can flip them, get them to open my can, and Pop.Lol yeah, want to hear something crazy? I used to get .... Drunk .... And fly around trade stations free flying around players ships, parking 50m away from them, acting like I an self docking, flying around at 2.5 KM/h, etc. I met some miner who had been around for 2 years. 2 years mind you. I flew around the asteroid field he was in trying not to hit the collision detection fields. He radios me " HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU DOUNG THAT ITS AWESOME! ".
I then proceeded to " dock " next to his ship. I asked him ... Really you cant do this! All you have to do is double tap the screen and your shop goes where you clicked LMAO. The dude was completely floored and had no idea. I was indeed amazed and ran into plenty of other people who had no clue you could fly around anywhere and not point and click to go places lmao.
Was funny and sad.
There isn't a "third largest." There are two superpowers in EVE. No one else could realistically enter the battle at this point.
Smaller entities have been destroying key assets during this battle. A small pirate corporation managed to destroy a lone titan in the middle of nowhere attempting to get to the battle. A primarily roleplaying alliance managed to gank a Russian supercarrier in a similar situation.
