My KB is insanely green because of some POS shots I did in 2012. It really hides the fact that, in nearly every small engagement where I was at risk of getting blown up, I did in fact, get blown up.

B-R made me green for life.

I don't even carry damage drones on my logistic ships anymore. If a Titan shows up then so what? Put it over there on the pile with the others.

I don't really care about having a green kb, but it's nice to have. The day I refuse to undock because I'm worried about kb stats is the day I biomass every character on every account I own.
There's plenty of middle ground between caring deeply about killboard stats and throwing away a dozen ships for each kill. There's a certain satisfaction that comes from dunking a bunch of dudes without losing a ship that you can't really get by treating each ship as completely disposable, especially when you're consistently fighting the same group of people. For most people who play Eve, even goons, it's super-demoralizing to throw away dozens or hundreds of ships to the same person or group of people without getting a single kill in return, and being on the winning side of those kinds of fights (especially when you shouldn't have won on paper) is one of the best feelings you can get from the game.

You should never actually get upset about losing stuff though, staying alive is just a nice goal to strive for when possible.

I sat on a gate to B-R in a dictor, and the FC told us not to jump. I should have jumped :v:

This is correct. If the single player campaign is good I'll download a cracked version of buy Star Shitizen when it's out and cheap.

Oh man those were the times!! I remember we jumped in and warped onto a gently caress-oh-gently caress type of grid, I whored I don't know how many dreads, we warped out, we warped in to a different spot on the grid, (I had dinner during said warps, thanks tidi), I whored a bunch of Titans, I went to sleep, I woke up 6 hrs later, logged back in, whored some more carriers, went to work, came back 20 mins before DT, whored a carrier and a super.

I was in a dictor in that other system keeping hostile carriers in station. After begging the FC for a couple hours, I finally said gently caress it and took gates to B-R. I wasn't that concerned about killmails: I just wanted to see the thing. Lost two dictors, and had a dogfight with a bunch of interceptors while swirling through hostile supers.

Even with TiDi and black screens and 2 hours of sleep, I'd do it again.

So I'm cruising around in a blinged out loki. I jump through a stargate and load the next grid in a pod. A pod that looks like a loki but has no capacitor and can't warp anywhere because nothing is in range. I don't like it at all because I have 500 hp and there is an angry looking tristan right next to me. I squeal for help and a friendly logi manages to save me in half structure. Soon I have a 40 man t3 fleet guarding me but I can't warp anywhere and I can't file a stuck character petition because that's bugged too. Relogging doesn't help. Eventually we get a carrier over and I dump my ghost loki in the sma. The good news is that I can now warp and dock up. The bad news is that I now have 0 sp and I can't fly any ship at all. :ccp:

Pretty sure that attracts pubbies, which is what the ~imperium~ aims to do.

killboards

Killboards can be quite a liability too, lots of people don't update kills on their super/titan characters to avoid being tracked or hunted. I personally disable my zkill api most of the time when I hyperdunk or do anything in highsec because people watch concord's kills and hurry over to stop the evil gankers.

I saw it, and was thoroughly pleased until this morning.

I assume the editors are intentionally being a little lax in the hopes that more activity will draw more readership and buy time to get some decent writers back on staff.

A true renaissance man


The problem that TMC will be facing now is that almost any person with the talent level of writing that they need can make more isk in less time by working any regular writing job and buying plex.

They've pretty much exhausted the pool of "can write well and cares enough about eve to do it for its own sake."

Unwind my riddle.
Have they considered pairing people up? E.g. I'm a decent writer, but have been out of Eve too long and don't know the current events / politics. I'd need someone to summarize events or provide opinions. I'm sure there are other people in the same category.

That said, I don't think people appreciate how time consuming writing can be. Good articles can take several hours to write, edit, polish, re-edit, re-polish.

Let’s look at how this engagement demonstrated some of the lessons that The Art of War has taught to generations of strategists and men of industry around the world for over two thousand years.

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

In this scenario, the LICMY had the strength of greater numbers, more guns, and better preparation for battle. So they concealed this by being in Ventures, which are industrials and thus present a weaker profile.

You aren't going to make a meaningful contribution as a line member in a fleet of over 20. 80 man fleets have the added bonus of pubbies making GBS threads up coms constantly. Space violence and Topgoon both offer engaging, small scale fights and they are accessible. Holesquad and Blackops are cool too but those require more effort on your part. Join one or all and never look back.

To expand on this: SV and Topgoon are both fairly small gang, blackops would be more what people describe as "Microgang" with fleets usually not topping 10 characters (And half of those being neutral scouting alts). Because of this blackops tends to be very picky about what ships you bring.

Currently blops is camping MOA into stations which sounds about as engaging as watching wallpaper dry. Hopefully fozziesov will net us more interesting things to do.

Correct. BL members spread their bear alts all over timid of renter and pet corporations to make isk.

Whyso had so many BL alts in it that it's nothing short of ironic that Grath purged them for lack of pvp activity. They were doing all their pvp on their mains.
