Yes, I believe you're right :evil:

Reminds me of my time in Eve Online. My corporation ( aka guild ) there was called 'Avarice Industries' I forget our stock market symbol but we were on the New Eden exchange.

The corporations image on the surface was an industrial and mining company. That was for show as the actual game I played was to scope out other, smaller corporations. I would determine their worth and holdings and if it was something I liked, then I set out to take it. I had a Mercenary Corporation in my employ on retainer that would declare war on the target group. For any not familiar with Eve, a 'war dec' as it was called could virtually put a group of players game on hold for quite some time, especially if said players were not into PvP.

After a few days of these people logging in and not being able to even leave their station for fear of ship destruction, I would step in an offer to mediate an end to war. Work out the spoils to to speak. In Eve Online, unlike here, when you lose your ship its is really gone and the insurance covered the base, bare bones ship and none of the modules. It also only covered an entry level version of said ship. For example if you had a Minmatar Level 3 Cruiser that cost 6 million to buy and 40 million to outfit you would get about 2.5 million in insurance. Then if you were 'pod killed' when your ship was lost you had better have a clone somewhere holding your skills or you could lose weeks or even months worth of skill sets. All of your cyber implants were lost as well. So death in Eve was something pretty harsh.

I met my current gaming partner in Eve back in 2006. He was the CEO of the Merc company I used and we have been partnered in pretty much every game that we play together since then.

So, moving onto the open servers at some point and getting back into PvP is our goal.

The interconnections in the game between the majors, the minors and many unknown events really makes anything we do a "twisty" path to follow.

I'd say, not know the history and political intrigue that is built into the foundation of the game is the reason we have all these bizarre turns in our fortunes and that is really what makes it interesting, for me anyway. :)

Hello,
How are the beams working out for you?
I tried them on my Cutter but the cap kept draining fast and they don't seem to do much damage, so I switched to an all pulse build. Initially I had 2 multis, 1 huge Pac and all others as bursts. But the placement of the medium hardpoints just seemed wrong for the multis.

Have fun, fly safe. o7



The cutter has a smaller power distributor than a corvette, they seem to melt things much faster than the pulses I was using here.

Not really playing much today, but started tightened up my fleet hangar, selling off things like eagles and spare vipers.

I also fell for the steam sale and picked up shadow of mordor for about 8$.

Now I just need to download this 43GB game..



Should be done in about an hour :P
I do like my fiber :D

Went for 1st courier mission. Handed it in TOOM influence up, Economic boom up. Cool.

2nd courier mission. Handed it in. TOOM influence down, Economic boom down. WTH? This was a Mission from the Order why did it cause a negative effect? And it was a courier Mission.

Have fun, fly safe. o7


Because the BGS is a pile of steaming .... :x ?

The influence arrows are notoriously bugged and often show the wrong direction

Well the "warehouse" is full.......

Still a few spaces left between Dawg and I.......

So they will be filled tomorrow and then back(ish)...To sell our wares.....

Then gawd knows......

If the BGS was working...We would probably do some shit for The Order.....

Coz there is a monkey still loose around Raffs that needs a good slap....

Mind you.....Anyone in Raffs that sees the bastard......

Just relay the message that we have large amounts of battle weapons.....Personal weapons and Narcotics.....

AND we are going to sell them well before we get there......

That should piss him off......

:D

Accumulated 1M+ of credits doing missions, my warchest for getting the DBx and outfitting it semi-decently. Most of the cash came from Munshin work because currently the Azrael Order mission rewards barely pay for polishing my Viper4's paint job. Interesting thing though is that Munshin is controlled by another player minor faction (PMF), the Libertas cooperative :

Seems like a nice bunch of guys which is a relief since they"re just 30+ Ly away from Rafferty station.
