Am i doing something wrong? Currently I am roaming nullsec in a taranis solo, I use the map to find active pilots etc, but usually there are either nothing to fight or things that aren't engageable; I've had about 3 good fights in the space of about ~8 hours of roaming (over a period of time, not all at once). Ideally I want to have chance of engaging frigate blobs like the ones in Chessur's navy slicer videos. I'm in au tz btw, not sure if thats too relevant.
Also is there anything I can do about random gate camps or running into other fleets waiting on gates? My taranis isn't fit for enough warp speed, so I usually get caught, and burning back to the gate can be a big toss up as well when they have a lot of dps
Perhaps I've been spoiled by black rise, or lowsec fwar where it's considerably easier to find fights.

Nullsec is not the place to have fights, especially "fair" or "small". Chessurs videos were mostly filmed in a now closed nature preservation park. Maybe you can find fights in Aridia now. (I have seen Chessur there already )

First of all: the article totally misses the strategic point, of what has happened. We did not lose catch because we provided content/feeding. We lost catch because of failed diplomacy with PL. When we decided to no longer form up for timers and provide them with fights they headshot our staging systems one by one: fun was over, you get evicted for no longer playing mouse for the cat.
Pretty much. Everyone wants easy kills. Some are just more honest about it.
It cracks me up when the nominal "we just want good fights crowd" makes a serious attempt at evicting their enemies because "they don't give good fights" (see: Rote Kapelle, after their talented pilots left, all of WH-space).
You can always get a fight provided that the other person believes that they can win. And BNI was one of the most willing to take fights in my experience, even if they shouldn't.
My impression with Mukk is that he was the type to A) run 10:1 blob fleets B) scrub it up with vaga/cyna blobs and pretend that was 'nano', even after he joined PL. The heart of nano combat is presenting nonthreatening comps with extremely high range control, which got you lots of fights (and still gets you fights - i Beast's squad proves this even though they are running progressively more ridiculous comps).

I had a lot of respect for Mukk when he was flying with Liquid guys in '09.

Mukk... that name sounds familiar. Did he ever fly as an FC for Gentlemen's Club?
'09 was an interesting time. Lots of explosions, and some occasional canoe problems.

Holy shit, that song is amazing!

Nulsec has been really shit recently. Wait until entosis links come out in June before looking for the god fights in null. The space lanes will run green with pod goo then. Now with that said, I would stick to low sec for now. Up north near black rise space can be cancer with many links / pirate implant pods. In the south (near huola) you can also get some of that as well. Try and fly in between that space 
Hope that helps?

He was the main FC for Gentleman's Club from my memory. Very nice and chill guy, the reason he never actually ran small gang nano in GC was because he was too popular (and the only good fc since faffy went to darkside already) and wasn't allowed to tell ppl they couldn't come cause they were bad since that would make the corp elitist or something. And yes he FC'ed everything in his mach.

I don't even remember any of the other FC's.

As a Brave line member, damn.
I just want to shoot stuff

This is the shit that pisses me off. The entire idea that eve politics are 'so amazing and deep and meta and cool and OMG space CEOS' are 99.9% of the time just stupid childish neck beards. Its not fun, interesting or provided any meaningful game play at all.
Sad that so many new players have to put up with this shit.
|
I mean EVE politics are fun if it involve shooting stuff, but other than that its quite terrible for actual gameplay. I'm gonna stick around though, I don't think I'd fit into any other corp at this point. Also I really really like the idea of Brave and hope after all this stuff is over, we're back to just shooting stuff, preferably not ourselves.

Progodlegend, Garst Tyrell, Ben Booley. Most of these guys are blob FC's now with the F1 monkey crowd.
