Little Hope Bubbles

We had a very nice discussion last night about pipe dreams and expansions I wanted to think about. There is a strange swirl of energy around the Rubicon expansion. I believe because it is so close. Often, we have spent months testing and discussing the changes. Right now we are going to see an expansion hit in under two months and we are not yet on the test server with it. This has the involved, worried.

Today, CCP has decided to take back the Marauder changes and re-enter into their balancing. Are we to see both versions for testing? I don't know. I can't fly them and have very little opinion about them. Things like that support the 'meh' of the upcoming expansion. Yet, at the same time, the player base (that pays attention to announcements) is on fire with thoughts, ideas, whispers, over what we are going to see. The cries of, "What are the stats on the new ships?" might be the loudest but as it often seems to be, I'm paying attention to something else.

I'm curious about the PvE looting and tractoring module. Discussing it in my chatroom last night we were wondering if the Noctis would die. The Noctis is a lovely ship that salvages in amazing ways. However, with the nerfing of meta 0 loot, I've not needed my Noctis in low sec. I still have one in high sec that I plan to bring back out for my new venturing into mission running.

The question is, how big will this module be? How will it be moved?  My dream situation is this.

This module should be moved by the Noctis. It should be dropped into the field and the Noctis sits on top of it. Together they tractor in Everything, with the Noctis grabbing the wrecks that are to far out for the module. The module loots and the Noctis salvages all the things. Then the Noctis gathers the module up and off the two warp into the sunset.

That is my little personal dream. I now have a little check list of things I'd like to look at when the test server goes live. The warp speed changes, the POS siphon, and the looting module are on my to do list so far.

Maybe one day!

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
