"I'm thirty," I said. "I'm five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor."
As a complete outsider who has been somewhat interested in getting involved in EVE, I really appreciate this thread because it will give me some info that the other one didn't and the neutrality of it, but that being said, EVE drama (Imperium/MBC stuff, specifically) is why I might be joining in the first place, so my question is if there will be any discussion on the meta-story in this thread, or do I have to go to RockPaperShotgun or wherever.

Genuine curiosity, not trying to stir any poo poo!

It's going to be very hard to find neutrality in this thread. The previous one only had problems because people like to poo poo it up since they can't destroy us in game.

Deklein (former core of GSF space) fell to the Money Badger Coalition. For a few days all GSF & their allies had left from Deklein, Branch, Tenal, Tribute, Fade, Vale of the Silent & Pure Blind was Vale of the Silent & Pure Blind. However they've been able to take some pockets of space from Pandemic Horde, a new player focused alliance affiliated with Pandemic Legion. Right now Pure Blind is, for the most part, the largest swathe of land GSF owns, which makes sense since the GSF staging system of Saranen borders that region. Vale of the Silent hasn't really been touched by either side because, according to TEST Alliance Please Ignore's leaders, they were focusing on taking out Deklein & the other regions GSF owned.

When did they change the graphics for shield ships getting hit with stuff? I actually have a real shield around my spaceship that absorbs space lasers and missles and stuff AND ITS AWESOME, HOLY poo poo. Does the armor damage effect change as you run a repper, because if so HOLY poo poo THAT IS AWESOME TOO. CCP is a good video game company.

I forget which patch specifically but it was this year.

If you do damage to the armor & structure, the ship will show damage on it like in this picture.



It's also based on the positional damage that your ships hit the ship at (though you can't control that, that's just the game doing its thing).
