A Force Of My Own

We came back home the other day after two or so weeks out of the Heath. I realized, as I was doing my jumps that I have a little capital fleet of my own. A few months ago, when we last moved, I had a carrier. Chella moved Sugar and herself. Sugar moved in the end, and that was that.

Then I started the CIMM (Calamitous-Intent Mobile Market). That meant my jump freighter alt who is also my non TCS market alt (perfect market skills) came along. Fast forward to the last few months. During the course of my CSM campaign I came to love long skills as I have never loved them before. My Dread alt trained up to basic, combat readiness during then and this was the first deployment that I moved her in.

Suddenly, I'm a fleet of my own. I wanted to feel impressed but mostly I felt stressed trying to jump them all and maintain conversations.  One day, that 10 billion in hulls I am moving might not make my hands shake. For now, it was deep breaths and undocking them one at a time.

Those down spitting Amarr stations... grrr... grrr...

Bosena is very neglected and I will try to get that sorted out. I did stock it a fair few times while we where all gone but all the excitement is taking its toll here and there. Robinton also killed a POCO for me so I have another. My POCO document is coming, I promise. I've simply made very little headway this week on anything that was not CSM.

I may have to switch to somewhat shorter posts! That will make a few people happy.

  1. Downspitting stations are awesome - a joy to make insta-undocks for!

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
