With a scan, scan here... and a scan scan there...

Look at what a good girl I am today! I remembered to save my Astero's fit so when I lose it I don't have to remember how to find my killmail for my fit. That led me to see that all of my fits were gone. I am kind of sad. Sure, most of them no longer work. They adulterated my Jaguar,  but they were mind and I feel oddly possessively annoyed.

A pit stop back at a station to dump my daily redemption stuff (I'm sure that this made people super mad whenever it happened,) and I was off to find a series of systems to scan for wormholes in.

I remember some of the basics. The lower the sec the higher quality/value the thingies I will find. Since I wanted to find tiny wormholes, I then promptly disconnected as I was docking because my computer rebooted. I wondered if I would come back in a pod but in fact, I did not.

The last task I should do as I seek a system is move my home station. It is still down in low sec areas I no longer have interest in. Then I was like, can't I do that in Jita somewhere?  The answer was yes. I went to reset my clone and that opened up a little cascade of memories.

Sugar's original school headquarters is Hulm. I didn't even remember. I created her and sent her down to Chella who was slogging away with the newbie corp I had joined down in Derelik back before the CEO ran off with the profits to buy a Navy Raven.

My clone set and a cluster of systems selected, I ventured into the unknown.

My ship seems to be more orange and purple.


(Record scratch. Several days IRL pass...)

I do enjoy not prioritizing my time playing Eve. I feel more in control of the process. I worked and played The Division 2 and groomed my dogs instead of playing Eve during my last set of days off. Today, I decided to give it a try.

With some repetition I stared at my keyboard and realized I had no idea what to do. I started pressing key combinations and I discovered that beams shoot out of your ships nose and butt when you hit dscan buttons now.  Visual reminders instead of hoping for the best, that is cute.

I hit my probe launchers button and realize I had no idea what to do. After a few, cautious key presses as if I had never touched a keyboard before, I remembered that stuff around my HUD is not just for how fast I am going to die. I have still forgotten all of my keyboard shortcuts. 

However, after a little bit I started remembering bits and pieces of how to scan. When I say bits and pieces, I mean bits and pieces.  Once I found my probe screen I remembered how to move them. Then it took me a bit to figure out how to scan. With nothing found in the next system I remembered how to change their range.

Two systems found. No anoms discovered and I am giving the dogs their bedtime potty break and off to bed to work another day.

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

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

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
