Christ. I'm guessing they get used even less than they did before if that's the case. I can't imagine dropping supers very often at those prices. Even with srp, unless you're Aryth/Wibbles level of filthy rich.

I'll have a think and see how I feel about it. I assume nothing major has changed gameplay wise etc. I see the trig stuff kicked off and something about triangle space which seems interesting.

Who's fighting who in this new war? Is it the generic shitlords bob reincarnated 6.0 or whatever?

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


So there was old Provi bloc which is t a thing but CVA are back and holding some of Provi. They were replaced by Rekking Crew who also are in the middle of a split due to inactivity and then they are other independent groups like ourselves just making GBS threads the place up.

I think there are a bunch of old provi block guys in CVA now.

They seem to be trying to get up and running and dabble in some faction warfare stuff with us too.

Anybody try the FW stuff on the test server yet? I am curious about FW, but never wanted to drop corp with my main (or pay MCT for second char and/or interrupt my slow, steady training queue ticking on).

We have an alt corp where people are just making alphas with the free 1m SP and that is enough for frigate/destroyer IV some tank skills and T2 small weapon. No need to Omega or MCT anything. Usually get on the militia comms and see what is going on and join their fleets or go find baddies to kill in plexes.

Yep - this is a good way to try it our relatively "cheaply"

We run fleets pretty much every day to just cover the plexes and sooner or later fights break out.

If you can get in a tanky tackle punisher, you can be useful

I don't know how it works down in provi but I was on grid with cva and goosefleet once, shooting the same enemy, so I'd dare suggest trying Amarr for faction warfare would work out well given the proximity of provi/amarr space.

If you are EU search for Red sky morning, if you are US try Emperyan Edict (or if you do try it on a main, talk to Ctrlv, they have a minimum SP requirement/I think they temp closed recruiting)

Or you can just chill in the NPC FW corp, but if you do be sure to be active on comms or people could assume you are a spy


It's good fun though and worth checking out if you are curious

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

So the CCP head techno evangelists ailed by their traditional small dog syndrome, have once again decided that now's a good time to impotently start chasing unrelated to Eve popculture techobuzz. Seems that Hilmar has recently read a Tweet on how chat AI is gonna make it as big as VR and change the cyber landscape, and full of inspiration decreed the already strung out player-facing team to implement (and in turn moderate) one of the popular Google scraping chat bots for their official Eve discord. Well Eve players being as such, this "Rogue AI" event is going as well as you'd think.


Does Hilmar even still care about EVE? I got the feeling he checked out mentally years ago and is now just looking for a new bandwagon to jump on.

Idk how much/if he still cares about actually developing the game and bettering the underlying infrastructure, rather than keeping it on life support for Pear Abyss to continue fireselling overpriced brain goo packages and non-hello-kitty skin bundles. But he was just recently invited to some bullshit talk on digital universes at some literary circlejerk summit, there's a YT video somewhere, where he was leaning hard into developing Eve in the 90s as a brutal dystopian pvp world etc. so he at least still cares about it as an achievement.

Deadtear still hanging out in waffes jabber? I feel like that's a good barometer for how ungoony the imperium would be.

Brisc the big cheese now? I wonder how the hell he's managed to not have mittens drama impact his RL job considering how close they are and some of the things that have been said about mittens.

I just checked INN YouTube and gently caress me are both bad viewing numbers. Guess Alex isn't earning a living off EVE anymore. :laffo:

Ah, I see. I'm really clueless about US politics outside of last week tonight, but knowing he sits on that side of the fence makes a lot of sense.

Still surprised nobody's picked it up and said anything. Especially if the guy is complicit in some way, seems like the two of them talked and socialised a lot. He can't have not known

lots of people have picked it up, just that if you say anything people tell you to stop bringing IRL into it. Which is fair but still.

also like, how the gently caress would you even begin trying to explain this to anyone normal?

"so, you remember the other guy who died in benghazi, not the ambassador, the other guy who was in the internet spaceship game group that glen beck said was a CIA front, yeah that one, so the guy who ran the group at the time until quite recently was very performatively best friends with the dead benghazi guy, and apparently the whole time the leader guy was knowingly protecting a pedo, and also some other stuff with his wife being arrested in russia and whatever, also something about louis ck-ing a member of the internet spaceship game group can't forget that, also back before he was internet spaceship important he was a creepy dude in the live action role playing scene for vampire the masquerade, anyway this scone guy, he's that leader guy's friend and doesn't think he did anything wrong"

even the qanon freaks would think you sound like a nutjob
