Noob Perspective

That's not an insult, but it's quite a statement for new players. You have build the best empire. You have the largest alliance, the best SRP, probably the largest amount of supers if you include inactive people. Now what ? What's the goal of all that if all you want is to krab ? You've deployed north and did nothing except take some moons for a month and welp some caps. You own nemesis you build out of propaganda, you killed them by not shooting anything. Yeah, success as an empire, but what could new bros gain out of that except, well, more propaganda ?

Now what ? At least PanFam goes and farm Provi or Brave. At least TEST go to fight people even tho it means being a pet. At least CO2 and Tri looked for a war they could loose. At least Horde goes as mercenaries.

I'm relatively new to the game. Can fly like, one BS doctrine, no T2 logi before a month, I'm not multi boxing or anything. Why would I ever want to join Goons ? Safe ratting space ? Fighting gankers ? Having like one SIG for bombers and some rare cap fights in your range to serve for dread meatshield to one of the better alliance in the Imperium ?

I'm mean sure you can handle new bros, give them free stuff, teach them basics of the game. But so does Horde, so does TEST, and then you SRP your players ships and pay your FCs, but how many large engagement was Goon been part of lately ? And I say, apart from invade TC with double the numbers after batphoning PanFam to take away sov they don't want anyway ?

What do you provide beyound a nice starting ground and better isk ? Nice people to hang out with ? So does every alliance.

Don't take this as grrr goons. I'm just looking straight for options as a newish player and what Eve does provide. I know and understand that current mechanics doesn't really help at creating fights by invading or killing structures and changes are on the way, but at some point I realize that all Goon provide is a fortress of industry and farm. No so much if what you want to do is blowing spaceships.
