The Rising of a Corp Thief

"Hi, you killed my hoarder a while ago. I'm interested in robbing my corp and becoming a pirate."

And that is how I wound up helping someone get the help they needed to rob their corp.

I didn't remember him. A quick killboard search and I did. He was a Hoarder running distribution missions in low sec mostly AFK out of boredom. I had called out his intel to the boys because Diz had me ahead scouting and acting like bait. They picked him up a few gates later and popped his ship. I sent him a conversation about the event to make sure he was not a newbie. That particular night was a night of autopiloting everything into low sec. It turned out he was not. He was good natured about it. We had a good chat, and I thought nothing else of it.

Therefore, the conversation request surprised me. However, I was willing to run with it. I made it clear that I'd happily help but I was not making any promises to enroll anyone into my corporation.

What I did was establish the basics. High sec industry corp. He couldn't fly the Mackinaw and Hulk in the ship maintenance array of the POS. I started to explain basic POS rules to him while I called Vov (making sure to use extra Vs). Vov responded, I dropped him into the conversation and let him take over.

As he headed to assist, he taught him what to do, what to take, and made him work through a series of steps to clean everything out. He had him empty to POS, take every ship he could, empty the corporate hangers, access the wallet tab that he had. Once that was accomplished we got the password changed and Vov helped to scoop ships.

All of that was accomplished over about an hour or so. What was next was the corporate hangar array, the ship array, and the labs. It was a stationless system so the tower was running blue prints in the lab.

"Once you do this, there is no going back." Vov warned him.

"I came to Eve for the pirate things, the thefts, the dark stuff," was the response.

"Make sure you have plenty of ammo," Vov responded.

They took down the arrays and the labs. He was rewarded with a few hundred million more in loot and some researched blueprints. The total theft time was around two hours. I was bouncing about, tackling things at the time. It was interesting to see Vov work him through it.

When they were done, Vov docked up with him and traded him everything.

"What do you want in payment?"

"Nothing," he responded.  "Now, remember you can hunt down and kill your corpmates still."

And thus we left him. He joined my public chat and plans to go off to FW and move onto piracy past that.

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
