Glad to be posting again. I'm kind of nervous to see the portrait of this new toon.

Life in Low Sec : A Sense of Scale

Mon, 8 Feb 2010 13:40:59 +0000

I actually tend to like a few of the Gallente and Amarr interiors because they have activity. They look busy. So many of the stations look completely empty. There are lights, but no one home. A fear I have with Walking-in-Stations is even then they won't capture just how massive and full these stations are.

Rifter Drifter : I Need Your Rifter Fits

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:26:23 +0000

Wensley, I have two to submit: One is a very standard variant on the close-quarters, T2 fitted Rifter: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/26313-Rifter-... . I've had some success with this, but it would probably do better with a thicker armor. I have put projectile rigs on this one, but I haven't posted that to BattleClinic, and I don't haven it handy. The other is a ranging Rifter, designed to try and stay outside of the range of other small ships. I've not had a chance to test it in a solo setting: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/26315-Rifter-... -Vol

Break Vol : For My Fans

Woot, ID is working. And I can comment on my own blog! Kirith and Cyberin', I agree with you both that it makes sense from an logic point of view. Why should wrecks and the loot in them be owned? But, from a game play point of view, I think it makes more sense to promote interaction. So they should be owned for a period. As to mission runners being risk free, they choose an activity that is solo. It should have less risks than an activity that can't happen without another capsuleer. The more capsuleers, the riskier it should be. Mind you, I think kill missions should be made a little harder, but that is because I find them boring. As to building my own battlecruiser, it makes it cost what? 4 Million ISK, or there abouts? When we lived in Fountain, we made more money building, insuring, and losing Frigates in combat than we would've hauling those minerals to market (as modules) and selling them.

I so want to be at this party. And living in Metropolis, I would be more than happy to fly out to Evati. What is to keep people from signing up for the raffle with alts? As to the raffle itself, I didn't think about it before today, but my corp makes small and medium T2 hybrid rigs. I don't have any in stock, but I would've been more than happy to put together a set of mediums (ambit extension, burst aerator, collision accelerator) and donated that. Tonight, I'll have to dig around and see what we have in stock (or mostly in stock that can be built by tomorrow).

Life in Low Sec : Sliding Off the Hot Tin Roof

Little things like this make me respect your alliance more than most pirates. I'm glad you guys tried, and I'm glad you can openly speak of why this idea didn't fit. This has been a great endeavour to read about.

This is why I like reading other people's stuff. They give me different views on my own neighborhood. Sincerely, "self-righteous military extremists" :P

Life in Low Sec : ICFic: The Pirate & The Colonel: Escape

This is amusing, and I'm reading Roc's beginning. I'd like to know how this all started though. As to the comments: I'm not a big fan of pirates, but what can you expect. We are immortals. We have no laws to bind us. And money is no object, so killing... it is what people do. It is the human nature. Pass the conch. BravoFox, I have, yet, to meet a pirate that does it for livelihood. Every pirate I've asked makes money somewhere else to pay for the pirate lifestyle.
