Intercepted

I discovered interceptors. Or, more accurately, I discovered that I could fly interceptors. When I first started, interceptors was one of the first skill books that I purchased for myself. I got it with the aim to eventually fly them around when I wanted to run from point A to point B in a small fast ship. Chella just never reached the point where she could fly them. Every time I started her on Gallente Frigate V I got distracted by something else.

While doing something else I idly checked to see if Sugar could fly interceptors and to my surprise, she can. Thrilled, I stole the skill book that has been sitting in a container for almost a year now and plugged it in. Now I can try my hand at interceptor tackle sometime or another.

However, I'm mostly just obsessed with the ship. It is physically beautiful to my eyes. It looks like a dragon fly. I am often disappointed in the looks of ships in Eve. I grow used to them or don't mind them or am horrified by them but rarely do I look at them and go "Oh my how lovely".

I've noticed some Minimtar ships have quite the insectile design philosophy going on. My Scimitar reminds me of an insect and I named the Stilitto Dragon Fly because well... it is.

I ran around a bit today and saw something interesting. Nulli often times hangs out in the area. However, a massive spike like that was unexpected. Nulli Secunda was moving its capital ship and super capital ship fleet. They decided to take a detour through Molden Heath. Local spiked to over 60 people. Only three belonged to my corp.

When I undocked to see what was there I was greeted with a dscan containing, 9 Aeon, 13 Archon, 2 Avatar, 2 Chimera, 4 Erebus, 1 Leviathan, 1 Moros, 4 Nidhoggur, 12 Nyx, 4 Revelation, 1 Rorqual, 9 Thanatos and 2 Wyvern. There was also a Anshar rolling along. Probably full of fuel for all of those caps.

I guess they are moving per their new plans.

To bad I didn't warp to the cyno to snap a picture of all that capital ship. The ship names were pretty amusing. The things one sees puttering around can be quite interesting.

  1. And I thought the 100 ship birthday fleet that rolled through the system I was ice mining in yesterday was big. I guess Molden Heath really is where all the cool kids hang out :)

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

Memoirs - Part Seven: The Taste of Scandal

Virtual Realities: Memoirs of an internet spaceship politician by Sugar Kyle CSM9, CSMX Viewers get some drama Is there any election that is scandal free? Virtual space politics are not excluded. Sometimes the scandals come from the people ruining. Sometimes they come from outside of that. “I can’t wait to enjoy the drama!” someone had said to me about the election. Those words would haunt me later as I fought not to be caught up and defined by the decisions another person had made. While I played the game and tried to convince people of my worthiness a dark drama was sweeping across the game. The CSM does not dictate game policy. CCP does that. It does not stop many from seeing the members as vocal representatives. It was a public post made by one member of the CSM that started a fire that would take years to go out. Eve Online is an interactive video game with few social rules. It is one of the games charmes. If you can trick another player into making a po

And back again

My very slow wormhole adventure continues almost as slowly as I am terminating my island in Animal Crossing.  My class 3 wormhole was not where I wanted to be. I was looking for a class 1 or 2 wormhole. I dropped my probes and with much less confusion scanned another wormhole. I remembered to dscan and collect my probes as I warped to the wormhole. I even remembered to drop a bookmark, wormholes being such good bookmark locations later. My wormhole told me it was a route into low sec. I tilted my head. How circular do our adventures go. Today might be the day to die and that too is okay. That mantra dances in the back of my head these days. Even if someone mocks me, what does that matter? Fattening someone's killboard is their issue not mine. So I jumped through and found myself in Efa in Khanid, tucked on the edge of high sec and null sec. What an interesting little system.  Several connections to high sec. A connection to null sec. This must be quite the traffic system.    I am f
