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

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
