I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I am trying a different method of getting down there. It's not simple.

ALSO I am now in a shuttle called Dust :)

My first excursion into Null was me taking a Stabber into the Wild Lands just to see how far I could get. After 20+ jumps I ended in a gate camp I couldn't run through.

Wait, I actually did run through, I was just stupid enough to turn back and try fighting the assault frigate following me. That didn't turn out as well as I had hoped

Well I've finally got a course that avoids HEP9! It's 48 jumps from where I currently am, but man, seeing a whole fleet of wrecked Titans will be worth it.

I absolutely love the fact that I can look at the star map and see all these names and know about what happened there :D

This period was a mix of goons ascendant and supercaps online, and there are a lot of cool stories. Big events I can think of, in (the maybe correct) order:

1. Karttoon
2. CR (failure)
3. Crashing on TCFs couch in DKUK
4. MAX 2 (fails in H-W)
5. Heading down south (smacking Atlas pets around with some ex-TCF Section XIII)
6. Taking Dek over from TCF
7. Smacking ev0ke out of CR
8. Beating IT out of fountain, this leads to IT cascading and delve becoming a FFA
9. VFK by may (hint: not a good idea)
10. The north is now full of people who don't like GSF
11. GSF kinda hides for a few months
12. White Noise. loses branch to the CFC
13. The great reconquista; the CFC takes branch, tenal, tribute, and vale
14. poo poo starts to go down with Test
15. Fountain war

Between 13 and 14 is conquering the south with PL and TEST. What a weird time, 2012 summer

How long have you been playing Eve? You're probably smarter than I am. When I first started I got my exploration skills high enough and immediately took off into WH space. I made lots of ISK and survived for a long time. Long enough to get my skills high enough and make enough ISK to buy a sweet T2 exploration ship. Which was promptly destroyed within days. This game was not harsh enough toward me in the beginning. I got tricked by rng.

HED-GP is probably the most camped 0.0 system? Maybe ec- as well? Although ec- has the side access through saranen/93pi

If you plan to properly camp you sit in SV5(the next system down the pipe) If you want to let boatloads of stuff get away you sit in HED.



The locals started anchoring mobiles warning people off of our ISBAD camp. So we promptly blew it up and put our own up

Don't forget the Eve Gate. Take a hooker and a GSC and anchor it out there with the rest of the thousand cans.

Also there's.......

Malkalen (wrecked station)
Seyllin system (shattered planet)

And the third one is the POS with all the graves floating around it. I can't remember which system it is in. Quit laggy though.

Someone can certainly make an alt corp with the ISBAD ticker but I outright don't care. Creating a corp for it is a level of engagement I have no intention of getting involved with. I'm pretty :effort: about the whole thing.

This isn't a coalition seeded in any real permanence other than necessity for numbers at the start of the invasion- we can shoot each other without any big drama, and plenty of people have started doing their own thing again- so more fights for us.

If you want to explore the red unknown of drone space (where B-R is) I strongly suggest ditching the shuttle in favor of any ship with a MWD, gates being bubbled for 100km in all directions is a common thing out there and that's a really, really long way to slowboat in a shuttle. I'd also suggest a cloak if you can fit one, so if you jump into a camped bubble you can activate your MWD then immediately activate your cloak to drift out of the bubble mostly safe. It'll probably take a few practice tries to get it right, but it's a useful thing to know.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Since there's no commentary on it yet -- PL did another USTZ feed today on the Saranen Small Tower, with the Welpcane Meatgrinder claiming the lives of an Abaddon fleet, most of a Machariel fleet, and six FAXes.

The FAXes all have varying fits again. Before, I just chalked it up to early deployment / poor communication, but now I'm genuinely :wtf: -- can nobody in this game, even in PL, come to agreement on how to fit an Apostle.
