WantToTrade: Tags for Security Status →
We are adding some new pirate NPCs (non-player characters)
These NPCs will only appear in asteroid belts in low-security space
When killed, these new NPCs will drop a new type of pirate tag
These new pirate tags can be taken to a CONCORD station (in low-sec space) and turned in at the new ‘Security Office’ station service
Turning in one of these tags will raise the security status...
Five Things Friday →
Shalee ruminates on the issues girls face in Eve. Boys, read this!
Today’s Five Things Friday topic is ‘five things you probably should never say to a female you’ve just met on EVE.’ Granted, I’m not trying to say that ‘all girls are the same’ just like I wouldn’t…

Day 2 of Fanfest
I hopefully got enough sleep last night. Which is good. However I still don’t feel quite awake.
I met up with some guys who have recently joined with Nuli. Older guys, they were pretty laid back, even when it came out that LNA used to do some major “burn and pillage” roams in Providence back in the day… and they lived out there around the same time. It...

From illyvelo:
Last week we connected to an amazing static C3, one the likes of which we rarely see in our day to day wormhole hopping. System J12035, occupied by The Kingdom of Heaven alliance.
The system is home to 11 or 12 towers manned by various corps in the alliance. The towers are active in nearly…

Hurricane looks like a restored ‘cane. Drake—does it lose the resist bonus in exchange for damage? Hard to tell… Brutix looks sweet as well, better damage (via tracking bonus) over armor reps, which are useless in fleet fights anyways. MOAR GANK!

It just seems so unfair that FTL travel is impossible according to the laws of relativity. :(
Seems about as fast as a freighter warps. Also, there’s this news about fusion drives, and also this news about warp drive…

PvE Tengu blaps Pirate Cynabal. I love these kinds of stories. Congrats Harri….
…My first instinct would be to fight. However, I know a pve ship with no EM resists is not going to beat a pvp fit ship. At least not a Cynabal. It’s a giant blur to be honest. The “oh fuck” thoughts for the first 2 seconds turn to “fuck it I’m going down fighting if...
Minmatar ships hit with the nerf bat again...
[Odyssey] Tech 1 Battleships - Minmatar
Why CCP? You are messing with one of the most flexible and unpredictable ships that the Minmatar have, the Typhoon, and turning it into a slower, armor-tanked Raven? Why?
And all the drone bays are nerfed and everything has more sig :(
On the other hand, it seems the other races made out better.

Playboy.com article on Vile Rat and Eve. Worth the read. Tigerlily Fenix is mentioned as well.
Taking a break from Eve and Blogging
There’s a bit of a crisis in my life at the moment—my wife was diagnosed with colon cancer and I’ll be spending a lot of time over the next few weeks caring for her.
Fly safe everyone. Or dangerously, if you’re Minmatar.

Archiving an MMO
The servers for Eve Online’s half-a-million subscriber base typically run on a securely stored supercomputer hidden away in London. But part of MOMA’s efforts include not just displaying, but archiving their collected works.
Eve’s Olafsson said they are working with MOMA’s conservation team to provide them with a set-up capable of running a completely...

From Doyce Testerman:
Oh God. Player takes hurricane into lowsec to run a level 3 mission. No local open. No d-scan. Fitting window open and obscuring the overview. And he livestreams it. The predictable happens at 1 hour, 45 minutes. http://www.twitch.tv/jasensaint/b/373131162 God. So glad I didn’t record any of my early piloting.
Just go straight to 1:45….

barisemicolon:
Note to self: Self, keep calm.
Single ships on gates are most often bait. Directionally scan, and check local to see if there are corpies or criminals in system or ships nearby. Also jump someone through a gate who doesn’t mind dying to see if there is a gank gang waiting on the other side.

Exotic Dancers of all stripes are available...
edgeofuncertainty:
Wow. 50 exotic dancers from a pleasure hub structure, heh. Not sure what it says about me that I’m selling them for 50k each on the market. >.>
On a side note, why are there no exotic dancer males? Us gay guys (and girls, for that matter) play the game too.
Actually, they have them now. They could be gained as Xmas gifts from CCP.
