Goal kinda technically met

This morning, instead of logging off I got convinced to drag my Myrm through low sec just after downtime by my newest corp mate to do a DED site with him. It was a 4/10. Frankly, I'm still fuzzy about what that means but its something about how hard it is and what may drop inside of it. I'll look it up later when I have more time.

Anyway, I got invited along and with my shield fit battle myrm of non-rawr power helped him work on the site. The site beat us up a bit. Finally, I got some armor repair drones and did the baby logi thing on my corp mate. Of course, he is a -10 so I got GCCed for repping him. Thanks CCP. I can't even rep a flashy red corp mate without getting GCC but I corp members in high sec can kill each other and not get flagged. So sensible.

We wound up with:

Gistum C-Type 10mn afterburner - Sells for 100 mil
Gistum C-Type Kinetic Deflection Amplifier - 10 mil
Gistum A-Type Invulnerability Field - Sells for about 950 mil
8th Tier Overseer's Personal Effects - 2mil

Once the items are sold, I'll have about 500 mil in my pocket.

I also whipped out my low sec Noctis, much to his amusement, and cleaned the field.

As we were playing local spiked up +1 with a cheetah landing and dropping core scanner probes. Because we were in a scannable site, we bailed and switched ships. Then he said hello in German in local so i whipped out google translate and started chatting with him.

He belongs to a high sec corp that does some low sec stuff and he was looking for places to mine. He also sucked at probes. However, he is only two months older then I am. Still, I chatted and he chatted and eventually I got him to offer me the bookmarks for the site that he found. It happened to be the site we were already doing but the goal was to see how stupid he would be.

Chatting with people is fine. However, when two low sec toons, with -sec status (-3 and -10) are encouraging you to go and do a site in the space they are currently active in, it may be a trap. He wound up docking and contracting me the bookmark. My flirt may be at level 5 but my siren call is still around a 3 it seems. With his location in place my corpie bounced over to that station and cloaked to try to snipe him.

However he undocked + cloaked too fast. Damn. It was an interesting little event however. I felt weird about it, but at the same time, I'd never trust people if I was in the situation he was and I'd have been friendly but done everything in my power to avoid them. He did a good job.

I've also been making a deal for an Oneiros. Since my friend builds stuff, lately, once he found out how many loyalty points I have hes been nabbing some stuff off me. He wanted a stabber fleet issue and he also offered to build and sell me an Oneiros. I asked for a price and in the end he decided on a second stabber fleet issue blueprint. That has me spending 40mil isk and 200k in loyalty points for an Oneiros. I'm cool with that. I guess if I was pinching loyalty points it could be better. I don't know, I'm cool with it.

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their ...

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to...

Conflicted

Halycon said it quite well in a comment he left about the skill point trading proposal for skill point changes. He is conflicted in many different ways. So am I. Somedays, I don't want to be open minded. I do not want to see other points of view. I want to not like things and not feel good about them and it be okay. That is something that is denied me for now. I've stated my opinion about the first round of proposals to trade skills. I don't like them. That isn't good enough. I have to answer why. Others do not like it as well. I cannot escape over to their side and be unhappy with them. I am dragged away and challenged about my distaste.  Some of the people I like most think the change is good. Other's think it has little meaning. They want to know why I don't like it. When this was proposed at the CSM summit, I swiveled my chair and asked if they realized that they were undoing the basic structure that characters and game progression worked under. They said th...
