Black omega security no longer in goonswarm12/18/2023 ![]() It was directed primarily at Goonswarm and coalition operations, so other alliances in the coalition did what they pleased on their own time. I recall many surly complaints about not being able to link porn in fleet chat or harass any female that showed up on voice chat.īut the cultural revolution, which was most loudly proclaimed by The Mittani, mostly succeeded. There are a lot of fragile young men out there who feel less than whole if they can’t been abusive. There had been some efforts before to try to get people to tone down their behavior, at least in coalition level fleets, and it was met by a lot of push back. We were no longer going to tolerate casual racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, and other toxic behavior within our ranks. ![]() A huge push was made to normalize better behavior. Sometime after the Fountain War Goonswarm and the CFC started to clean itself up. It was the price of playing the game… because it wasn’t just null sec that was like that. An occasional FC would ask people to go make a porn channel to keep fleet chat clear, but that was a rare thing indeed. The CEO of my first alliance, TNT, told us quite bluntly at one point that he would ban and blacklist anybody who complained to CCP about people posting porn in fleet chat, which was incredibly common at the time. There was a lot of casual racism, sexism, homophobia, and all the usual bad tropes of “gamer” culture, with no real incentive to change and a lot of people set in their ways. It was very much the age of suspicion and spies and getting into a null sec corp required some thorough vetting and a vouch from somebody already in the corp.Īnd life in null sec was like a lot of other PvP games at the time. This was after the great war between Band of Brothers and Goons, and null sec was a mix of survivors of the war, successor organizations, and some new groups. It may also relevant to where this post will go, though I won’t really know until I get there.īack then the organization now known as the Imperium, at the time called the CFC, was a very different place. This is somewhat relevant to my own tale in null sec, which started with my joining a small corporation, BSC Legion, back in December of 2011 and getting mixed up in the never ending tale of war and drama that is null sec space in New Eden. But CCP gave us enough tools through standings and such to make them possible.Īnd then there are informal groups, at least so far as the game is concerned, what we call SIGs and Squads in the Imperium, but which exist in other alliances and coalitions, which try to group up people with like interests so they can do things together. These are coalitions, alliances of alliances, an idea that has no official structure within the game. I often speak of the Imperium and PanFam and PAPI and FI.RE. The players, ever ingenious, have managed to create their own social structures beyond what the game provides. In the social structure of New Eden, the corporation is often the most basic unit, a small group that identifies together, very much the guild analog in EVE Online.īut the game takes it beyond that, and above corporations there are alliances, which are groups of corporations that can band together under a unified banner in order to work together. ![]() I was going to join a friend out there and be part of a small corporation. When I went out to null sec back in late 2011, it was not without some trepidation.
