Fieldtrip

I've never been good at forcing myself to do things that are not fun in Eve. In truth, I tend to become bitchy when I force myself into situations I don't want to be in. It is not a mood I enjoy being in. A cranky adult is an unpleasant experience. I should probably bve writing about the industry changes and some other stuff. I expect I'll work my way around to it.

Right now, I'm distracted. You see, for reasons I cannot fathom Siuil and Vov decided to do a bunch of 4/10 and 5/10 DED sites that Siuil found pooled in a back system. On most days it would be an amazing situation with five sites piled one on top of another in one place. This time it was far from that because earlier in the afternoon an incursion had hit the system.

Incursions are more than annoyances in low sec. People often move out of the area all together. Some groups do run these incursions to great results. But, when it comes to the day to day movement and activity they are, in my opinion, a nightmare.

Not that kind.

Every time someone in low sec complains about how horrible incursions are people tell us to suck it up and that they are not that bad. I can only roll my eyes. I have abandoned two ships two systems away and I will go and get them later. Dealing with the gatecamping blapablaping rats is not worth losing my ISK making boats. Getting into Isto is a trial and when the idea came up to go on a field trip we said, "Okay!"

So off we go to somewhere far away. I did a jump planner and saw that it would be several midpoints. I covered my eyes but I will survive. I've done this before and I've gotten damn good at it. Time is ticking down. I came home from work and started to get my things shifted. I'm just buying new boats instead of trying to make multiple trips out of Istodard. Maybe I will lose them all and shit up my ISK efficiency some.

The biggest part is balancing both my logistics and the sudden influx of corp logistics on each other while figuring out where my staging systems for things are going to be. I think I have it all figured out. This is why I love my personal chat channel. I will set the MOTD with all of the pertinent information. It takes me forever to learn new systems. Everyone else is rattling off names and I'm squinting at Dotlan in frustration.

Such is life. It will be interesting to see if the POCO war with Kelts will continue as well as other fires the boys have stirred up. My POCOpire may be in for a shaky time (as in my losing it all). We shall see. I think I have enough Data for an overall monthly look at my POCOs. I'll get that written up and it will help me see if I will rebuild my empire should it fall (I probably will because I am stupidly stubborn sometimes and I am very focused on these urban renewal projects of mine).

And if it all burns down?  Well, it can rise from the ashes. Someone has to have a Phoenix somewhere.

    1. My lifelong dream of becoming Aridia POCO Baron is soon to come true!

      What are you smoking to have taken that from this post, friend? Sharing is caring.

Maybe one day!

 [15:32:10] Trig Vaulter > Sugar Kyle Nice bio - so carebear sweet - oh you have a 50m ISK bounty - so someday more grizzly  [15:32:38 ] Sugar Kyle > /emote raises an eyebrow to Trig  [15:32:40 ] Sugar Kyle > okay :)  [15:32:52 ] Sugar Kyle > maybe one day I will try PvP out When I logged in one of the first things I did was answer a question in Eve Uni Public Help. 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 ...

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...

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...
