Missiles Burning in the Night

I guess this complex is mine. I orbit the beacon, confused as to what happened and overlook the situation again. Not knowing how to approach FW I've just been approaching it by slamming headfirst into it. I'm a bit lonely. I'm used to having more company. While I can listen to my boys on coms it is odd not having them in space with me.

My Faction Warfare life is very different from the one I normally live. Slowly, I'm learning the names of the systems. I have dotlan up in the background and I'm determined to hover along the front line to increase my chance of meeting someone. It may have been a busy night because space was very empty of complexes. I wandered for a while but I am still leery of Tama. Eventually, I moved a few systems over and saw a suspect and a war target in system. There was a small complex and I decided to plunge into it and see what was up.

On field was a wreck and an Atron. I went after the Atron at full speed. MWD on, long point, missiles, damps, manual piloting. I hit him a few times and he warped off. Okay. I keep thinking I've dropped my point but my cap was fine so I guess stabs? I finished off the complex and went through to the next system. There, I went to another complex and found a war target Incrusus. He warped off when I arrived. Confused, I completed the plex helping to secure the States.

I did another one or two and then I went to dock. I haven't yet decided on how my skills will go. I have Rockets V finishing by the time I wake in the morning. I'm not excited by this. Once, I would have been but now I understand how badly my support skills are and how a shiny T2 icon will not fix the world for me. Most of my other skills are still terrible. My navigation tree makes me weep.

My methods for fighting in Faction Warfare are simple. I stick to Novice and Small plexes for now and attack or defend as needed. I'm made of glass but I spend little time worrying about it. My alt is not yet a month old. I cannot hold her next to Sugar as any type of measure. So I do not and in that I am experiencing things a bit differently.

I think, in the end, this adventure will change me. I think it has changed me. When I feel my hesitation kick in I push it down. The ship is already purchased. I can avoid fights all day long. Why worry? In this environment I am fighting alone and for the State. I chase out those who would attempt to subvert the States control or I face them in battle.

Mighty Condor, Burning Bright.

  1. I wish you had joined up with the GM. The State are already in a higher tier.
    I had wrecked a ship with your name for CSM. You've got my two votes at least.

    1. Thank you for the support. I went Caldari because I'm combining learning about missiles with the FW thing. I have no other missile users and it seemed to be a good time to stack as many different things into one adventure.

      Gallente is my true love. My first account was Gallente. I do long for the Federation and maybe one day I will be able to atone :)

  2. Why does it not surprise me that Sugar has a well thought out plan of why she joined Caldari FW.

  3. Though it would have to be fearsome asymmetry, which I'm not entire sure works :)

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

TCS: Riding the Expansion

Odyssey was bound to bring changes. However, in my relative inexperience and ignorance I didn't expect the market to do all the terrible things that it did. I expected some of it. I flirted with speculation and stockpiled on various things. I understood that some prices would change but I didn't expect to stare at the window of 30+ million is CovOps frigates. The Laws of Supply and Demand are simple: If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply increases, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. Eve lives under these laws. Players make the items and place them on the market. Items are only worth what people will pay for them. People will
