Hands Off, My Loots!

The official patch notes for Apocrypha 1.5 have been released, and after reading the full details of the changes in rigs I realized that I think they left a size out.

Cruisers are 5 times bigger than frigates, and 5 times smaller than Battleships.   What about Capital Ships?  They are quite a bit bigger than battleships…yet didn’t get their own size rigs.   In my opinion if we are going to get cheaper rigs for our cheaper ships…why don’t we make it a little more realistic and have larger rigs for the capital ships.

I’ve never actually flown a capital ship, so I can truthfully say I don’t have any opinions on the price increases this would cause to operating a capital ship.  But I do think it would make sense.  Possibly even one more size for Motherships and Titans which of course are even larger than normal capital ships.

Don’t get me wrong though, I’m all for this new rig change and am grateful for it either way, I just think it’s strange to base rig sizes off the ship sizes…but leave out Capital and Super-Capital sizes.

I said in my earlier post that I would be posting 2 more posts today, and I shall try and get that done.  I’ve been busy trying to get caught up on over 100 google reader blog posts so I spent much of my writing time…reading, so I may get the second one out or I may not.  If not, it’ll be around tomorrow.

I’ve been meaning to join twitter (@cyberineve) for a while just to check it out and see if it’s the environment for me or not.  Now that I’ve gone to the darkside (by the way…where the hell are my cookies?) I figured it would be fun to use twitter to update my misdeeds.

While I’m at it, I might as well make this post somehow meaningful…so check out this link.  00Sage00 from Yarrbear Tales has made an excellent resource for anyone wanting to get into evetweeting…

In other news…2 posts coming later today and I’ll finally start getting back into the swing of things and making at least 2 posts per week…hopefully more!

Till then, fly dangerous, and may the Ninjas find you!

This is a quick blog before I go to bed, I’m still thinking about this, even though it happened over 12 hours ago now so I figured I’d just have to post about it.

I was in a mission today, salvaging, when one of the two mission runners dared me to loot so he could kill me. I told him I would gladly loot right after I was done salvaging.

I died in that mission deadspace.

This best part? Both the Maelstrom, and the Dominix shoot me…before I aggro’d…and they got Concordokkened…

I sure enjoyed the 40ish Million ISK of T2 loot, hope they did too

[ 2009.08.03 14:35:16 ] Pyth2 > Don’t see how you made 35 mil losing a T2 fitted BS

Can someone kindly explain to me how one can make 35mil off a mission, when you have TWO fully T2 fit battleships blow up?…I fail to see where the math works out there…lol

Well, I got accepted into Suddenly Ninjas on the 30th of Jul, and have been having quite a bit of fun with them.  I’ve gone on 2 corporate fleet operation so far, and from the looks of it…this is gonna be one awesome ride!

I wasn’t in the first op, with everyone just running around Dodixie as a fleet salvaging peoples loots…got paid 4mil for being there a short while…not much else to talk about with that one.

Now the second Op…totally different story, I was in this Op for over 8 hours and it was a BLAST.  Just a short summary, I looted, I salvaged, I killed someone who shot at me, and I killed someone who didn’t shoot at me and collect some epic tears that truthfully I think I’m gonna have a hard time getting some better than the tears I now have bottled and setting in my China Cabinet.

My First Epic Tears

I’ve included the chat log on a different page simply because it’s rather long, you can check it out with the link above and I’ll explain a little here.

The short version is, I started out ramming some random person in a belt…apparently there was something wrong with my nav system.  A conversation was had, we went back and forth about who the real prick was, evemails were sent (well, at least I sent one to his ceo…not sure about him yet), and it ended with me podding him, getting my 30 Million isk Stabber blown to hell by Concord (forgot to insure it…i really need to quit doing that), and then going to bed shortly after…was a fun time

Throughout the whole conversation, another member of Suddenly Ninjas managed to play the ‘good guy’ telling my new ‘friend’ that he would make sure to get me kicked from corp, and while doing all that…managed to get the password to this little miners giant secure can.  So I relieved him of his 2 hours worth of ore and told him I hacked his can.  Never once did he ever suspect that my corp mate was actually still on my side…some people really are thick headed aren’t they?

Earlier in the operation though, we were kindly helping a mission runner clean up his wreck field when he fired on me and a few other corp members.  I went and grabbed the Stabber (that was concorded later for the guy in the belt) and went to work on him while waiting for someone else in corp that also got aggro to make it back with a bigger ship.  Ended up I didn’t need any help, even with my crappy skills.  Took him down after a few minutes with support from a Remote Repping corp mate to keep me from dying…was a fun time.

Other than those two big incedents (my first official pvp kill, and my first tears) the rest of the Op went pretty smoothly for me and I went to bed thoroughly happy with my first real excursion with the Ninjas.

Though, seeing as to how I used to be one of the people hoping that ninjas didn’t come bother me or flip my cans, I almost feel a little dirty and like a traitor.  But then again…I guess I am…but, hey…I’m enjoying EVE now…so I think the change was worth it.
