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 ...

Do the application according to the Wiki and I think they sort you out with a caring and compassionate team consisting of Maneck and maybe/hopefully some lackeys?

There may be emails involved if you're joining from a team we consider to be badguys / lovely.

Generally we're not going to give a poo poo about corporation history by itself. The main thing is if you're on the blacklist or not, and ending up on the blacklist means you were part of us in the past and hosed up or hosed goons, typically. You have to be a colossal, public jackass to get on the blacklist while never having been in the corp before.

It's a great time to reinstall. We are on campaign up north, lots of reds all around to shoot. I brought up one of my Proteus to the north and bought a stealth bomber, an interceptor, and an interdictor. Even if you don't have time to go on big ops you can still find lots of nice targets for solo hunting.

I would have brought my super carrier, but I did not have tech 2 rigs so I was worried it would not be replaced if I lost it. I might buy a Thanatos up there to chip in on the bigger battles, I can lose one of those no problem.

DeepState CrisisActor and cheers! Should I buy an expanded probe launcher before I get to Delve?

I'm setting up Jabber and reading through the wiki/forums and holy poo poo is there a lot of things to familiarise myself with.

Also buy any and all skill books you will need for the next few weeks/months of training - getting back to jita to buy books kinda sucks. I am in Elysium on Jabber and on Theta comms p much any time Im not asleep or at work. Probably going to be doing High sec stuff with my wife today.

can alphas do anything yet

Alpha skills are just robust enough to get you to where you can almost do really cool things. If you can resist paying for Omega you can eventually train up enough to plex your account with isk never having to pay any cash for the game. Realize that means you can make around 2b isk a month as an alpha so "anything"? Absolutely theres stuff alphas can do. If you enjoy ganking people, Miniluv does public fleets with alphas all the time.

There seems to be some fits and training plans only available in the Theta forum. Ostensibly they also do fleets in which I can participate.

By the way, I think I will upgrade to Omega soon so you should get some rewards for your link, thanks for that by the way!

Thanks for the replies. I've sent an app in. I haven't posted in a while, and my post count seems to have been zapped *shrug*

Chill mining would be my thing and mostly at weekends, maybe some PvP. Couldn't do much more than that, really. My wife already thinks I'm a pervert because I post on internet forums, if she found out that I'm thinking of playing spaceships with net randoms, she'd cancel the broadband.

Absolutely, hit me up for anything. I pretty frequently burn to Jita in a Claw to get skills, and have a highsec alt parked there for shipping larger orders down. Let me know what books you are missing Ill add them to the next order I make.

AFA Theta goes, I'd definitely hang out on comms and see if it's something you want to do. These are the people you'd be doing it with so

Yeah, but then you can't jump back. What you can do is install a jump clone where you want to return, then change station to a school and pod jump, then jump clone back.

If you had resubbed like a month or so ago you would have got a bunch of free ships, but I don't think it's retroactive. If you like mining goonswarm is for you.

Most of the fleeting we do is in reaction to enemies trying to kill rorquals at home. We're usually mining or just hanging out on mumble waiting for people to drop.

It's amazing how little foresight those nerds have. Every single military force in this game is utterly reliant on jump freighters to wage any kind of war. If they were removed, guess what group would be best in place to continue to wage war without them?

Eve is supposed to be somewhat of a sim. Removing jump freighters makes no in-universe sense. Of course jump drive technology would be used for cargo.

What they need is some module or ship that can interdict ships using a jump drive. Some kind of cyno sink that draws in all ships using a jump drive within a certain light year radius.
