Corp Thief

As I always do, as a public service announcement, I would like to introduce you to Zarppe. Zarppe was inactive in Eve Online for a long time and recently came back and decided to steal everything from the Stay Frosty corporate hangars. Such an action is in violation of the Stay Frosty Code and results in immediately being kicked and set Red to Stay Frosty and ABA. Zarppe. I want to keep mentioning his name so Google grabs it.
For those of you who don't know how Stay Frosty operates, let me explain a bit. When you join the corporation you have a 30 day trial period called "Chiller" in which we see if you will be active, participate, and join our Discord. Those that do not never transition into full Frostian membership. This process was instituted years ago after a rash of corp robberies back when we had open recruitment.
It has been almost three full years since our last corp theft. So the new process works pretty well. The only difference between Chiller and Frostian is a…

Bloody Tuesday

Not to be confused with the march in 1964.There are times when Eve is weird, confusing, and frustrating. Even for a 12 year veteran who does nothing but PvP all the time. Such as me. I talk about these frustrations here in these pages a lot because to me they are far more fascinating than the times when everything goes well. Although I much prefer the perfect plan execution, I think it is important to openly discuss our failures. This is how we learn. And it also helps younger players to know it can happen to anyone. Even us well seasoned vets.Nothing went according to plan yesterday. Not a lot of activity in the fields yesterday, so the day started out slow. I managed to catch a Catalyst with my Hookbill and an empty Griffin shortly afterwards. These weird empty ships are really starting to bother me much more than WCS ever did. You can't use WCS without at least fitting them!Because of the free drugs we get for logging in these days, I had a nice 3% bonus to armor repair on my H…

Force Choke

I know there are players out there that enjoy running missions, running sites, and generally shooting NPC spaceships for ISK, rewards, and other benefits like standings. I also know that many players have to do this in order to make money to play Eve or to buy things inside of Eve. I know that. I support that. It is all part of the great and powerful sandbox that powers this game. Great. I also appreciate that CCP has invested a lot of time and effort into making those NPCs better. And that emergent NPC based gameplay is good for Eve, Abyssal sites, Triglavians, Drifters, whatever. This is also good. Great. Fine.
There is a line however. Eve is a player driven universe. No matter how smart NPCs might become, they cannot become the drivers of New Eden. Players need to remain the primary force that drives our game. NPCs exist to create a vital, living, active, and interesting universe. And while they are doing that, I am 100% for it.
Now that we have all the primer stuff and background o…

The Naglfar

So yesterday I'm out roaming around with not much going on, not a lot of time to play, when the call comes over that we have a Naglfar on station in our home system. This isn't unusual, a lot of groups use our system as a jump thru point on the way somewhere. It's convenient, near to high-sec, and it is full of friendly Pirates who respect random cynos being lit in local. (lol) What made this spotting different was what happened next - the Nag warped to a gate.They aren't supposed to do that. And he kept doing it. Our scouts kept eyes on him as he kept jumping. I managed to get back into station as we started forming a fleet to do something about it. My initial thought was to grab my Phobos which I keep on hand for these types of things, but sadly it was nowhere to be found. (I probably left it somewhere on an op) And my Devoter wasn't fitted. By this time it became clear the Nag was coming back! By this time our response fleet was finally coming together, but slow…

12 Years of Eve Online

On September 21st, 2008 at 13:29 Rixx Javix was born into Eve Online. At that moment I knew only a few important things about this game. One, it ran on my Mac. Two, it was made by a company located in Iceland. And three, it looked incredible, had spaceships in it, and was something called a massively multi-player online role-playing game. That was the sum total of my knowledge on day one. I had never played an MMO before Eve. In fact, at that time in my life, I was in a rather long and extended gaming drought. Mostly due to working insane hours at the agency I had started back in 2001.I took one of those pieces of information, the Iceland part, and named my character after the capital of Iceland - Reykjavik - Rixx Javix. I didn't even know that CCP was located in Reykjavik at the time. I had no previous knowledge about Eve Online on day one. I hadn't read about it, learned about it, or watched any videos or anything else. My Son had downloaded it and shown me it running on his…
