Self-Destruct Rule Changes →
Posted: 2012.07.27 16:50 | Edited by: CCP Masterplan
For the Inferno 1.2 release, we’ve modified the self-destruct mechanics a little. These changes are now live on the Singularity test server. You can go and try them for yourself, and leave feedback in this thread. Loot Drops Ships that self-destruct will now drop loot in their wreck. This follows the regular chance-based...

Again... HUANG has Industrialists with Teeth!
One of the favorite past times of our industrialist ‘care-bear’ pilots is to build what I call tar-baby haulers, which are perfect bait for killing war targets looking for high-sec ganks.
A master of this strategy is our very own Marl Ginnishi, who recently obtained two more such kills in his Mammoth:
Mammoth vs. Wolf
Mammoth vs. Thrasher
I fit a tank and point on my own Mammoth...

Go TLF!
Battle Badgers are not always useless →
cmdrkipper:
…Never, never, ever arm and tank a Badger. It is completely frakking useless.
I beg to differ: Please watch this vid!
Faction Warfare Roundtable (Podcast MP3) →
Also here.
Listen to representatives of different factions discuss FW issues. Including my mates Susan, Hans, Amy, and yes, Almity. A bit long but informative.
Pinky Feldman (Moar Tears-Amarr) Susan Black (Ka Pow Pow-Minmatar) Hans Jagerblitzen (CSM Delegate–Minmatar) Rina Kondur (FWeddit-Amarr) Super Chair (Project Cerberus-Caldari) X Gallentius (Justified Chaos-Gallente) Julius...

Made me smile…

Oh this is fantastic! Lock target, microwarp drive, orbit, F1 for shooting, and a key turn to get rid of lemmings!
Rixx Javix's Eve Online wallpapers →
Rixx Javix is looking for a RL job. He’s an awesome artist/creative director and responsible for most hats worn by #tweetfleet (I did my own and some others, like Vordak and Almity).
This is why Late Nite fleets tend to be so... →

Fleet Commanding - As strong as the weakest link
Log in, find one WT is in system. Intel tells me it’s a conflag-pulse abbadon, tank yada yada…
…I tell everyone to “x up in fleet” with their ships/fits.
Ship, ship, ship, ship….oh god.
Some idiot posts his fit in local chat - obviously noticed by the WT we’re dealing with.

Blog Banter 37: The Line in the Sand
Blog Banter 37:
“EVE Online sits on the frontier of social gaming, providing an entertainment environment like no other. The vibrant society of interacting and conflicting communities, both within the EVE client and without, is the driving force behind EVE’s success. However, the anonymity of internet culture combined with a competitive gaming environment encourages in-game...
Oh, the irony...
After all the kerfluffle over the Rifterlings and Damu’Khonde war dec against Late Nite and the resulting agreement not to shoot them, my fleet was aggressed by a Rifterling pilot, including myself. Naturally we killed most of them.
It began with me scanning down a couple of Hurricanes and Rifters in a major friendly complex in Kourmonen. Since there were some war targets in local, it...

Now back to our regularly scheduled program...
I was in pod the other day just schlepping ammo up to my forward base in Kourmonen when fellow HUANG pilot Anya Sulii pinged me on corp comms:
[23:40:33] Anya Sulii > Oh Kuan, got a special snowflake fit for you to see.
That fit is special in so many ways. Cloaky AND double stabbed, no buffer tank but active reps? Well, I guess that’s original… for FAIL. Nice one Anya.

I like interviewing people in pubs. I like pubs, but more to the point, when someone has a glass of wine or a pint in them, you get a glimpse of what they’re really like.
Some people become affable. Some morph into complete dicks. Most of us fall somewhere in between. Me, I get a little louder (although apparently I can get kinda loud without being juiced) but, as a bartender once...

This I believe, and I don’t put it past elements of the Goons to have launched a DDOS attack on an ‘enemy.’ This is, of course, a real world crime. But am I surprised and shocked? Sadly, no.
Now just waiting for the shit storm of Goon denial and spin. And waiting to see if there is any response from CCP or CSM.
Update: A little more research shows that DDOS attacks are...

Faction War is still Thunderdome
Got into pod really late the other night, not expecting many to be on. Apparently the Amarr had made a really strong push against Kourmonen (I guess I should check on the status, I have a lot of ships there) and had brought it to about 50% contested.
Late Nite had only a few pilots around—less than ten. After awhile we noticed some Amarr in Stabber Fleet Issues and some other ships...
