My issue is this: active tanks are, largely, for solo work. So...they want to make Minmatar and Gallente into solo boats, and suboptimal fleet ships. This is sad.

The New Bropacts and OTEC

During the Venal campaign, Ev0ke approached us about a tech deal; after we had made good on the agreement, NCdot approached us as well. Having taken so many moons so rapidly that GЅОL was beginning to thrash about worryingly, foam at the mouth, and mis-time the same moon twice in a row, we decided to declare victory and go home to VFK. Perhaps amusingly, NCdot’s pets have loudly declared that they were /also/ victorious; perhaps it’s a scenario where everyone wins!

Everyone winning is the goal of OTEC, our new diplomatic initiative. OTEC – the Organization of Technetium Exporting Corporations – is here to regulate galactic technetium supply and ensure stable pricing so everyone in the market can benefit. Just like with the real world’s OPEC, ‘Everyone’ in this case means ‘us’ and ‘benefit’ means ‘ahahaha fuck you scrubs’. With discussion of ‘ring mining’ being a method of nerfing tech income, most of the organizations in nullsec that have tech moons are interested in jacking the prices as high as the market will bear, with twin benefits: making us (CFC/NCdot/Ev0ke/PL) comically wealthy at the expense of literally everyone else in the game, and making literally everyone else in the game howl in a rage about it.

I have announced OTEC before it actually exists just to see if I could spook the tech markets by tweeting; I now have almost 4000 nerds following me, and fuck it. Turns out I can (the price rocketed almost to 200k) and now we’re playing catch up to actually make OTEC a reality.

Doctrine: Tengufleet

We’re going to unveil a reimbursable Tengufleet doctrine in the next two months. Ѕtart training Caldari Strategic Cruiѕer and T2 Heavy Missiles if you’d like to fly one of these beasts; it’s essentially the same crap we fight against every night, a Drakefleet but with Tengus. Ѕimple.

The difference between ‘our Tengufleet’ and every other Tengufleet floating around is that we can put 200 of the damn things on the field at once – and will lose every single one of them. Tengufleet will be deployed in support of an existing Alphafleet‚ or used to leverage numerіcal superiority in off-timezones.

It is not a replacement for Alphafleet.

Three rules for Goon Reimbursement (from a former goon pilot):

**Must be lost during a sanctioned GOONOP (one approved by a director or someone similar)
**Must be fit according to GOONDOCTRINE (they have specific fleet setups for virtually every ship, you must use this setup or no $$)
**Reimbursement covers the gap between insurance payout and JITA BUY ORDER price of whatever the fuck you lose. These payouts are determined when the fit is deemed fleet worthy, and they rarely update the pricing. After inflation, you lose about what you paid in insurance for whatever ship for whatever you decide to fly.

You also have to go through the pain in the ass of getting another one to wherever, but Goons are actually really good at keeping their main market stations supplied.

well, it turns out none of you are right

there's wartime reimbursement which is basically what mysticus wrote and maybe even a bit more generous, also covering fitting in some cases

then there's peacetime reimbursement, which has much looser standards but barely covers hull cost in most cases
peacetime reimbursement is also not always in effect (ie, during war)
