What Have I Been Up To?
Well…It’s been a long time since I played EVE Online and
even longer still, since I have posted to a blog. Any blog.
Are these even still a thing?
YouTube had been around for a while, but things like Twitch
have really taken off. I don’t even
recall Twitch back when I was updating this blog regularly.
My original intent was to chronicle my own progression
through EVE through my corporation. That
corporation is no longer (although it still exists). I have moved on and with things like “real
life” taking priority, I kind of walked away from EVE. It can be a full-time job if you let
it. The blog evolved a bit into other
things, but I was hoping for it to become an insight into the industrialist side
of EVE. I don’t know if I ever really achieved
that goal. Probably not, and it didn’t run
for long, but it was hella fun at the time and a bunch of people were actively
involved in it in some way. Whether it
was fan-fiction or how to fit your ship to be efficient and safe. Many of those fits and protocols are long
since defunct and not relevant in the later EVE expansions. However, the principles are still the same: Fit to tank and fit for efficiency.
What I would like to do is continue where I left off. Will anyone see this and find any value? I don’t know.
I have all sorts of ideas, it’s just whether I will have the time to put
pen-to-paper (figurately speaking) or not.
What’s new in EVE for me since my return. Well, lots of new ships. Mining Frigates and variants. Compression modules for Orcas. Hell, they even have mining destroyers. Like, what?
With that, there are new blueprints that even I don’t have. There are lots of new activities and new ways
to keep track of them. Lots of new, but
still with the old bones of EVE. That’s
not a knock on CCP but there is a lot for old account to catch up on.
A long-time friend gave me the push to come back and check
it out. So far, I am happy stripping
asteroid belts, but I long for an active corporation with lots of old and new
people to fly with. I don’t think I can
devote the time to running a corporation, however. RL money and time are tight. I’m trying to pay for EVE through PLEX (Pilot
License Extension) which is a way to turn in-game currency into subscription
time. I’ve been around for a long time
(since 2009), so anything worth doing, for me, requires an Omega Clone.
I wasn’t planning on this post being as long. Hopefully there is more to come. Just be aware that the corporation is not recruiting
and much of the information here is out of date.
To those of you who got this far, thanks for your time.
