Solo PvP Ships Ranked

So where is the Tristan? I limited each tier to only six ships - which means there are plenty of good ships, like the Tristan, that did not make the cut. In the current meta the Tristan has lost some of its historic luster. Sadly, but it is the truth. It is increasingly difficult for any T1 Frigate to not only find solo content, but survive it once it has been found. That is just the reality of Eve today. So what I tried to do was create five tiers and rank the six best ships at each of those parameters. All-Around ships, like the Comet, perform under a very, very wide window of engagement. As do the other ships on the list. Those engagement windows are different for each one of these ships, but they are all very wide. And the Hecate makes it because it also can probe. Situational Best are ships that I feel are the best at more specific goals than the all-around ships. The windows are smaller, but still impressive. But in these ships you really run the risk of picking the wrong e...

In Extremis?

in ex·tre·mis ˌin ikˈstrāmis,ˌin ikˈstrēmis/ adverb 1. in an extremely difficult situation."they suddenly find themselves in extremis 20 miles out to sea"  ◦ at the point of death.      Given the recent lack of activity here in these vaunted pages, it would only be natural to start assuming that I've decided to stop writing in the blog. Perhaps I am burned out. Toasted. Turning bitter old vet, or else have succumbed to distraction. After all, I do have a lot of irons in the fire these days. The truth is buried somewhere in there, but the fact is that I was simply taking a nice break from writing here in these pages. I have no intention of stopping any time soon. If ever. There is just too much sweat equity in these words and images. Having said that, I did purposefully take a short break. Primarily because my usual morning window for writing has collapsed due to my new job. Put that up against the energy expended in the lead up to Fanfest and then the...

Wild Banshee Indians

Whenever my brother and I would run around like crazy people, our Mother would say, "You two are like a pack of wild banshee Indians." The Internets say, "A banshee Indian is an Indian mythical female spirit whose wailing or appearance warns a family that one of them will soon die. Before a death occurs, the Indian banshee will go wailing and clapping hands: if the death is of a holy person, a whole chorus of banshees will wail." Ok fine, I believe everything I read on the Internets. I don't think my Mom seriously thought my brother and I were harbingers of death, at least I hope not. I suspect what she was on about was the sounds we were probably making. When you are a kid these sounds are normal, but when you grow up and have children of your own - well then you know exactly what kind of Hell your own parents lived through. What does any of this have to do with Eve? The whole idea of "wild banshee indians", not the actual historical words, ...

Guest Post: Toxicity in Corp Culture

It would seem my post earlier this week continues to resonate with my readers and echo far and wide. Today we have another reader that would like to share some important thoughts regarding how all of this plays out with Corporate Culture inside of Eve. I've had my own challenges with this in my own Eve career. Just this week ABA parted ways with NER over this issue and went our separate ways. Once, years ago, I had Eve running in my office when an employee walked in at the same time someone on comms (which had been silent) suddenly yelled, "Faggot!" at full volume. That took some explaining and has contributed greatly to my personal aversion to using comms. I've been burnt many times. My children, two of whom are special needs, have been insulted. And every other epitaph known to man has been used against me at one time or another. Sometimes with my children in the next room. All of this to set the stage for the following Guest Post. ------------------------ ...

UPDATED & REVISED Structure Guide

I produce a crap-ton of content. Non-stop all the time. And sometimes, it gets ahead of me. And when that happens I own up to it. I've been doing this for 17 years now, in Eve Online - but really my entire life. So this is nothing new. But when I make a mistake there are those waiting in the corners to pounce and point fingers publicly and beat their chests. Which is fine, the sheer amount of space I take up in these people's brains is staggering. But here is a revised, simplified, and mostly accurate updated Structure Guide. For all the heart-ache this has seemingly caused certain people you'd think I eliminated a small village of innocent women and children. But I suppose I did make a few minor errors that compounded on me. And for that I do apologize. I should be held to higher standards, if only for my own sanity. If not for others. I won't make excuses, since no one cares about those anyway. I am not perfect and I make mistakes from time to time. It happens. I w...
