EVE Online

Nice posts on exploration guys! I don't like putting in all the effort for it but i know many RR guys seem to love it.

Sylas: Eve is currently in a period of massive change with more then half of null-sec up for grabs and 2 of the 3 big coalitions collapsing. A large part of this is the upcoming sov changes but also the Jump Drive nerf.

Simply put, I would really get set up and see what your alliance/corp needs before buying a capital/super. It's soo difficult to move them anywhere now to the point my alliance just self destructed our dreads and built new ones instead of moving them across the map. It took me 7 hours to bring my nag from metropolis to venal. Overall caps/supers are simply used far less. Since the jump change i have yet to even undock my Nidhoggur

Wanted to give a shoutout to one of our own at RR for helping to create the best video game or internet drama most have seen in ages. Scythe: The whole Brave coup was hilariously entertaining and I wish you guys had simply invited alt corps to keep control and create more drama!

Also for those who don't know FoH channel is still in use, but depending on your TZ might be fairly empty.

heh provi is still rolling with the NRDS I see? some things never change.

I just reactivated my account after 2 year hiatus and am trying to get a handle on all the changes. I play weird TZ with DT smack dab in the middle of my play time, and no one I remember is online. Do people still kick around in the foh channel? thinking about dicking around with exploration/wh stuff to make some bankroll. before I quit I was saving up for a supercap but with the portal and jump drive changes i'm wondering if they are still worth anything? there were like 300+ titans in game 2 years ago, i'm sure there's over a thousand now, and if they aren't worth much they might be cheaper? I had a drug deal worked out for an avatar for 60bil (they were about 110bil at the time) but then that fell through and I deployed and stopped playing.

Yep, Providence is still NRDS and that's how it's going to stay.

It'll be interesting how things develop. CFC have already rung the bell of intention to come and flip SOV once Fozziesov hits and apparently it's NC. / PL coming to play too (Apprently NC. is tired of losing to CFC so they are going after easier targets (Provibloc)). Flopping down SBU's so it'll be intersting fights the next few days/months.

Myself and majority of my alts all join FOH regulary but I don't see many people there at all. Not sure where Anna Niedostopny vanished too Kadmoran is taking a little hiatus as per private message, RL stuffs.

Unless you're a part of a big alliance i wouldn't recommend going after a supercap. Not worth getting scammed out of it/having it blown up. If you do go into buying one, use a reliable 3rd party.

If you're not blood red, you could always come to Providence. We could use people of your caliber sooner or later

@Mist: Your last player corporation is red, which makes you - currently in an NPC corporation - red by default or as we call it "red by last".

@Sylas: The CVA KOS checker has a long memory

I don't even know how I would end up red lol. I've been out of highsec maybe 5-6 times ever.

How is this even possible?

I'm thinking about starting up again. I've been paying to train my two accounts for the last year or so without actually playing(lol I know). I have two 55-60 mil Sp account with most Intel/mem core skills just about maxed and sub-cap drone skills maxed(no desire to ever fly a cap). I lived in CFC null for about a year before I stopped playing, doubt I would want to do that again. Basically just ratted, blobbed, and chased after the stray red coming through our territory the entire time. Kind of sucked now that I'm looking back on it. Might do some exploration with a T3 and a cov-op if I play again or maybe hunt other explorers like someone mentioned.

Back when I played this game, I actually liked the really boring PvE. :/ I played EVE mostly while raiding, and just did missions with my droneboats while trying not to stand in the fire.

Wait... you dual wielded MMOs?

Highsec mission running does not require that much attention, especially way back when gankers couldn't scan down sites that easily. Lots of people did it with WoW then.

What are you planning to do with a Strat? It's a pretty versatile ship. Also, most solid Strat fits run expensive (800+). Are you sure you want to use a Strat?

It's simple.

You're active, play in a neutral corp, then you join a player one.
A few months/years later you go AWOL, AFK and aren't seen by your corp members again, so they kick you from the corporation.
Later on, some time after you went idle, they join an alliance that is red or start shooting people who are blue/neutral in Providence.
Hence, the corporation gets set red.
Because of your past affiliations with that corp, you are now red even though you're in a NPC corporation.

That's basically point to point story for Mist's case.

Even though you had nothing to do with the agression your former corpies did, you aren't welcome. Ofcourse, there's multiple way to approach that.
1. The universe is big, nobody said you had to bend knee to Providence rules. You could fly just about anywhere in the galaxy without such constraints, however, keep in mind that Providence is the only region that enforces NRDS. Everywhere else, it's NBSI, which means being red to Providence and neutral to everywhere else, you'll get shot in all parts of non-High Security space.
2. You join a corporation that is neutral to Providence and you status automatically gets reset. Or you make your own. That way you make sure the members of the corporation won't go on a killing spree making you red again.
3. You join a neutral/blue corp/alliance and come live down here. You'll still be shot at in every other part of space just like you do now, but you'll have a region open to you.
4. You join a corp/alliance in other parts of space. You'll only be coming to Providence to PvP and we'll be killing you anyhow.

If you chose an option that keeps ProviBlocs standings towards you as neutral or above, you conform to the rules. Or return to one of the options where you'll be shot at again.

I played EQ1 pvp on Vallon Zek and we also had a community enforced ruleset in addition to SOE's. If you ran around without being a member of an established guild, you were smoked on sight. Guilds were held accountable for the behavior of all their members. We still had drama, but the shit bird herd was kept thin ... or at least somewhat confined to lower levels.


I think its interesting that EVE, another mmo that requires significant player investment, has also developed its own .... code ....

If you ever want company carebearing let me know. I mostly just train my people right now but I too enjoy shooting red crosses from time to time.
