I wasn't around for either of these people and had only heard of them through occasional mentions in the SA EVE thread.

Prencleve was just a nerd teen who had the common thing with nerd teens on the spectrum where they think they're superintelligent. Eve is catnip for someone like that, because there are stories of other nerds doing "sends his regards" etc and they think they have the guile to do that stuff. Prencleve was mostly harmless, unless it's possible to die of frendschamen.

(I am in this picture and don't like it, but thankfully the internet was barely a thing when I was 15 so there is no evidence.)


OTOH when nerd teens are in their 20s or 30s and they haven't grown up and out of this phase it's pretty repulsive, and that's Xenuria.

I remember a video Xenuria made in that era that was 15 solid minutes of him complaining about goons, interrupted only by his mom yelling to ask him if he wanted some mini tacos.

Prencleeve was funny, Xenuria was just weird.

I am glad my only claim to any sort of space remembrance, let alone "fame", is my carrier obsession. This would be the kind of fame I'd rather not be saddled with.

So i didn't want to join a fleet last night and instead fit a disruptor to a thrasher and sat on the M2- -> KEE gate and killed a munin and an eagle as they ran away as well as a Federation Navy Comet as it tried to join the battle late. I don't know what happened in the actual battle but their nightly strategy of titan bridging into M2-, loving around for like 10 minutes, and then flying home to T5ZI with their tail between their legs does not seem particularly likely to progress either any strategic goals nor improve morale.

You probably won't make it but it's not like you'll lose anything of value either. I think flying long distances is kind of fun until the novelty wears off, to be honest - you get a good sense of the scale of the game. Just set your clone to 1DQ1 and see how far you get.

Pretty much this. There's virtually no way you'll make it, but the trip from Caldari space in particular down to Delve will give you a sense of the sheer scale of the game if you haven't made a huge trip like that before. And when you get blown up and podded down to 1DQ, you'll easily be able to get replacement stuff (GS_Frigates will give you frigs for free).

If you don't know how to set your home clone to 1DQ, instructions are up to date on goonwiki.

The problem is that the previous system to 1DQ on your flight, T5ZI, is papi's occupation HQ where all their dudes hang out. So if you get that far you'll probably die 1 jump from the end, after a long boring flight. A cormorant is not worth any effort if that's why you want to bring it.

But try it anyways if you want to take a tour through eve. If you wanna get maximum tourist value, the "New Eden" system is basically on the way from Caldari space. You could try to see the Eve Gate along the trip.

I flew to Delve from whatever the Minmitar starting location is in a Rifter and made it. That was before we got pushed way back though. Definitely give it a try.

When you get to Delve go in either the back way through E3- or the other back way through 3-DMQT, just not through T5ZI.

if you want to do this in m2- and the surrounding systems, i'd totally be down to jump in a ceptor, assault frigate or dictor. i was already toying with the idea of getting a jaguar as a small gang heavy tackler and would love to try it out!

The problem is that Delve is going to be poor for "small gang" stuff because the enemy's entire war plan calls for n+1; they will ALWAYS want to outnumber you, overwhelmingly. loving around is a great way to make them freak out and drop poo poo on you, but for getting ~good fights~ you'll really need to at least get out to Querious and Period Basis, if not cross the great void into the central south and go to Catch or Immensea.

Some of the frigate fits with all the new trig goo and whatnot are evidently loving hilarious, but yeah, Delve is probably a poor place for it right now. You deffo want to hit up Delta and the other folks doing stuff in the bads' backyards.

You'd have to track him down first. Elusif got hellbanned from GSF years ago, though I forget why. It wasn't RMT related; when DJ got tipped off almost a decade ago we killed all the RMT in GSF to keep supercap pilots from getting banned and elusif was still in jabber for years later.
