Both Goons and BoB were able to play well with others, so to speak (at least the others that would create mutually beneficial relationships and would strengthen the collective).ĮVE is a collectively-constructed game. Further, skill at diplomacy cannot be overlooked here. Power in EVE isn’t found by those who can only win on the battlefield it is found when armies of miners and haulers are connected to an ever-churning industry, supplying endless ships to unified soldiers and good generals under the direction of good leadership. Combining a large member count, with diversified interests and skill-sets and phenomenal organization, both these alliances were able to excel in each category of the game. One of the things that made both BoB and Goons so successful in EVE, especially at their respective peaks of power and influence, was their ability to bring all the important aspects of EVE together in one pile. One can be good at mining, combat, industry, trading, etc., but not necessarily be well-rounded, bringing all aspects of the game together. There are, for instance, many different things to be good at in EVE. BoB and Goons Are Good At The Gameīeing good at EVE is going to mean different things to different people. However, I believe there are patterns between BoB and the current iteration of Goons that are significant enough to note and think about. Finally, I am making a comparison between present day Goons and the BoB of the past, not the BoB of the present under some other name. Moreover, any comparison between two cultures breaks down around the edges.

In sum, a comparison between two such complicated groups isn’t an exact science and does not claim to be exact in its comparisons. Indeed, the challenge of EVE comparisons like this is that the game presents a constantly shifting set of networks and relationships. These alliances have long histories and to make an observation about one of them at a specific point in time does not mean that the comparison is apt for all of that alliance’s history. My second disclaimer is that the comparison between BoB and Goons is not a perfect analogy. Many in EVE would be honored by the comparison.

After all, BoB was one of the most feared and powerful alliances in EVE. My comparison between Goons and BoB is not an accusation, but merely a neutral – even positive – observation. It is a prejudice I do not share therefore, I ask my readers to suspend that prejudice for the duration of my piece. Band of Brothers is so associated with evil, in Goon culture, that within that culture making comparisons between BoB and any other group is tantamount to declaring that group the scourge of the earth. First, by comparing BoB and Goonswarm Federation I am not trying to say that Goons are “bad” and, in the context of the current war, that Goons somehow “deserve” the assault PAPI forces have directed at the Imperium. I want to start this article by making a few disclaimers.
