Yes I have a few catch-up questions:

1. What the gently caress is a drifter?
2. blap?
3. Who the gently caress boiled meat?
4. Why should I think very carefully about making statements like this in a public forum?
5. Am I a bad person for not liking beans in my chili?
6. I read about the wiki and it made me sad because I pretty much learned the game off of it but what happened to the killboard? The plain layout of the old one was so much easier to look at than zkillboard.

1. New race that was added to Eve this year, currently NPC only. They're smart rats with advanced shield technology, and they start DDing if you get them into armor. They pod. They are glorious.

2. To "blap" something is to hit it with enough alpha to instantly kill it before reps can land. Used as both a verb ("please blap that cyno") and as an adjective to describe high alpha fits ("blap tornados").

3. The British.

4. USA #1

5. I don't really care. Beans aren't a sin, imo; it's just a taste preference. (As opposed to boiling meat, which is a sin, because one shouldn't have a taste preference of "tastes like nothing.")

6. No clue

This one I can actually answer.

A couple of years back, Luigi30 worked on updating the KB from its old, atrocious state, where it was only used because it was the only KB accepted for reimbursements. So, it was taken down. The new one never quite made it out of the womb, and reimbursement started accepting eve-kill, then zkillboard, so you're one of the very few people to miss it (which is fine, taste is weird.)

If you want an older style KB that still works, try http://beta.eve-kill.net/ , as it has a similar layout to the old eve-kill.

I'm not sure if by "Middle America" you mean Guatemala/Nicaragua/etc, or if you mean the lovely flyover states of the U.S.. I'm gonna assume the latter.

I've honestly never visited anywhere in the flyover states; I've been to most of the east coast, and I've been to pretty much every state from the Dakotas westward. In many ways, I consider this a positive.

(There's been many times when I've gotten high and thought "I should take six months off work and do a road trip of the Contiguous 48, and write a modern nerdy analogue of 'On The Road.' When the green wears off, I realize that I'd get as far as Arkansas and end up writing a chapter that consisted of 'nope' repeated for 20 pages.)

arkansas roads are bad but they have really nice rest stops. I moved from va to texas and made that trip several times over a few years and that was my only takeaway of that state. Also everything not on a coast is a flyover state so you've been to a lot of them.

Throwing in my standard plug for Minnesota: a pretty good and legit state. The olds still subsist on salt pepper and tater tots, but the Twin Cities are very diverse with both a lot of ethnic food and some great fine dining. I'd talk up Chicago too if they would grow up and stop calling a casserole a pizza.

Are you really calling deep dish pizza a casserole?

If so, this continues to support my belief that people outside of Chicago and, begrudgingly, New York City (I had some good thin crust there) have no idea what good pizza is.

Go order yourself some more Little Caesar's or whatever you think good pizza is, you bad opinion haver.

"Deep dish" and "casserole" are literally synonyms. if Chicago would just lay honest and just claim to originating the very best of the various hotdishes we could avoid this.

You can also go for a rattlesnake, which I think is pulling bigger ticks than gila/Ishtar these days. Like any semi-afk ratter you will want to focus on core fitting skills, shields, and drones, skills that are more transferable than a single racial cruiser hull. You could go for the Ishtar for both isk-making and reavers though, which would be a cool good and efficient use of skillqueue.

I've heard ishtars mentioned,
For a newbie, ishtars are kind of a long way away. After you're sitting in a VNI I would make sure your supports are trained up, then T2 heavy drones, before going for an ishtar hull if that's the route you want to go. The main benefit of a ratting ishtar over a vni is mostly just survivability, which is a big deal but it doesn't necessarily make you more money. I don't know about gilas or rattlesnakes except that I see a lot of expensive rattlesnake lossmails that are funny.

Also, wait a sec, was the Texas disser some guy from chicago? :lol: keep pretending anybody cares about the midwest guy.
