How resilient is the skin after the procedure? Does it sort of knit itself back together and become as strong as normal or is there, like, a risk of tearing along the seams if it's stretched?

It's like anything with stitches if you go too hard you can rip them out. So I just have to be careful until it heals

It didn't, a long, long time ago when I was a newbie and Captain Gordon was posting so terribly on EVE-O he was ordered to get banned from eve-o or get banned from goonfleet. Except, for the first time ever, CCP banned someone in-game for goatseing the eve-o forums :ohdear:. I think the alliance bought him a new character after that.

Image linking is now banned because SOMEONE was using the old image bug + timestamping of quotes to catch spies who posted on eveo.

Yea the year break from 2010-2013 put me behind a bit but I'm still running out of things to train other than cap ships to 5. SP is interesting now because a lot of older players have extracted unused skills for money.

Considering extracting jump fuel conservation 5 from 3 characters.

This is a good place to be in, as you have 7m left to get the 400k per injector if you decide you want to use them. Once you get past 50m the conversion kind of sucks.

Yeah, for the past two or three years my main has just been doing things like "what if i got every subcap skill to V?" My titan alt and my main industrial alt long ago ran out of useful things to train so those accounts just train alts, but for my main it's like, why not just keep pumping SP into him. Every so often it pays off, like when there's a random doctrine we start using I know I can use it, whatever it is (entosis rapiers, why not?) perfectly. Well, SP wise, not so much "not blundering into gatecamps" wise.

Thinking about it, I'm at 47M sp, and 54d away from capswarm in a dread. Now to drop that 6B to get to the 50M threshold or not.

If you're contemplating ever skill injecting on the pilot, do it now but don't use the SP. Just keep it banked for when you want it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaas


This is a weird question but not a totally crazy one. Skin itself is quite elastic but scar tissue is not. It will depend on how they reattach things but it's not a major risk. Muscle is more problematic like that - I had a surgery where they had to crack my abdominal wall in half and I'll never be able to lift like I could without risk of major hernia or tearing.

Wait til they pull the drains out, I don't think I've ever felt something so uncomfortable, although mine was deep in my abdomen

Whats the point of the non-super-dockable ones anyway, just build an outpost.

Congrats dude. If they gave you opioids for pain management then do yourself a favor and get some Colace or something so you can poo in the loo without giving yourself a stroke. I had an ACL replacement done a couple of years ago and even on minimal doses of hydrocodone my guts went on strike

Well I've decided a few things from the past few days of reading this thread:

1. Congrats Vyst. Seriously. I know ~in character~ I have joked about not caring about being fat but harly and yourself are inspirational to me as I actually am working to drop some weight - at my age the extra 160 lbs or so I'm carrying around isn't doing me any favors (ask my knees and ankles about it.) To see the progress you've made in the time you did to the extent that you needed skin reduction surgery is great, man. I have been considering the lap-band personally. We'll see how things turn out for me, but I am truly happy for your progress.

2. No one cares about the RGSU astrahus - I know it's a nice propaganda piece that it got popped but I have a hard time thinking weas or anyone else in-the-know said that was a good idea. In fact I think finance's official opinion on this when the subject came up before the patch was "sure go ahead and put up whatever you'd like but everyone on the blue list gets to dock there don't expect us to rage form to save it." See? I do more than just shitpost in our forums. Wake me up when a .FART or GEWNS citadel gets anchored and then you'll see something happen if someone tries to pop it.

3. VideoGames is the most :shobon: newbie I have ever seen. To the extent that it makes me want to leave my friends alliancemates and go mine with him. Not because I like mining or even know how, but because I like him more than almost anyone else who has been posting in this thread. And I mean... I gank miners. A lot of them. Goddamn if he isn't adorable though.

I was certainly surprised to find out it existed. Well, had existed.

I was more surprised to find at least three reddit front-page threads about it considering these days it's the cost of a poorly fitted carrier. I don't think people realize how cheap the mediums are - they're down to 1.8b in jita, cheaper if you roll your own and/or had PI prepatch. It's probably the first citadel kill they got but it certainly won't be the last - the excitement over killing them is more that it's a new thing to kill and less that it's a devastating loss.

Its interesting that despite crowing about winning and the irrelevance of goons, they rush to reddit to post anything of ours they kill.
