The Consequence of Choices

"Cargo hold optimizers or tank on my Orca?"

"Tank."

"I was thinking about it but I don't know..."

"I don't understand why you wouldn't *want* to tank your 600mil isk ship..."

"Well I just don't think that I need the rigs as well."

In my mind I am thinking, "But the cargo rigs will make your ship more fragile..." The conversation wandered over to it not being worth having if one was to handicap it by tanking it. What is the difference, one more load? Is not one more trip worth a 600mil isk ship?

"My first corp's CEO lost his Orca because he didn't tank it. The cargo expanders and optimizer make you to fragile."

"If I see local go up by 10 I'll warp out."

At the same time in alliance chat...

One of my alliance mates purchased a Navy Apoc. He logged onto my corps coms and asked us to do an escort for him down to his home system. Battleships do not move quickly or warp quickly. They are very vulnerable to frigates. It would not take much to take it down, so one should take the time to move it properly.

"Of course," we said and wrapped up the other things that we were doing. Two Megathrons and a Hurricane, a loki and an anathema to cover all scouting points and provide assistance and dps and speed later, the Navy Apoc makes its six jumps home.

In my other chat room, the Orca pilot say debating that they had "enough" tank and it would not be of value to cut into cargo capacity further.

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 bio

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 log

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
