This post will be different, and rare as far as the content included within it. I have spent the last oh 12 hrs contemplating the EVE Universe and my personal place within it. I have spent nearly a year playing in the infinite sandbox known as New Eden and I have yet to unlock many of its deeper a more fascinating mysteries. I am also barred from opening certain doors within the game simply due to my own personality and views. For example. I will never be an exploration pilot. I love exploration pilots, don't get me wrong. They have their purpose in the universe and I praise them for being able to do it. However, as far as I am concerned, scanning is the Devil. I simply do not have that kind of patience, which is weird when you think about it.
However that is not the topic of my discussion. A lot of my time has been pondering the whole New Order problem. The current answer to N.O. is to shoot down the gankers before they shoot down the miners. This will help save the miners from losing ships, but it does nothing to further the end of N.O.
Suicide gankers go into the fight knowing they will lose their ship. In fact they count on it before they even decide to join the ganking fleet. So what good does it really do to blow them up before CONCORD does? It simply saves the miner being targeted. That is it. The gankers will still go out and refit their ganking catalyst and go out to do it again.
So how does one combat such desicive and suicidal behaviors? You hit them where it actually hurts. As many know, James 315 prides himself in flying an indestructible Stabber. For those who dont know, a staber is a T1 Minmatar cruiser. Obviously this ship is fit out full tank. Agents of N.O. who ride in stabbers also fit it full tank as I said. The exact fit I am not fully aware of yet, but am working towards aquiring in the near future. So why do I bring these stabbers up? Well, I can guarantee you they are expensive fits. Which is why they protect them by not ever engaging them in any real combat. These ships are used for bumping and for cleaning up the wreckage after a successful gank. Now imagine what would happen if one were to bring down an "Invincible Stabber"? You begin to work away at the foundation of N.O.s hope. Agents put a lot of reliance and trust in the fits of their stabbers to be able to deal with most anything that comes at them. So if one were to prove that these stabbers are in fact NOT invicible and do this repetitively, you begin to wear away at what they put hope in. What would be even more helpful is if one were to take down the Stabber of James himself. This would greatly help to weaken the resolve of those who trust in him and would greatly bolster the hopes of those who fight against him.
This is a common tactic employed by many forces accross the world and accross New Eden. If you can destroy what they place their hope in you destroy their resolve. Examples can include everything from Ghengis Khan to the destruction of a 0.0 fleet's alternating triaged carriers. This also a tactic I employ at every turn. However I take it one step further and create the object of hope. Then destroy it before their very eyes and take the spoils of war before biding them farewell.
By the way and off topic another thing that sprang up in my head alittle while ago was that with the change in style and topics of the blog my views on EVE itself have changed. For a long time I have considered myself a noob in EVE. I based this solely on how many kills I had aquired. I dont have many, on any of my toons. Also, none of them are solo, and about half pof them are blob fleets vs POS. So as far as I am concerned with the PVP realm of things. Im a nub. However with the changes made in the last couple days to my blog it has shifted this view. I can now take somehting in which I do have a bit or experience in, even outside of EVE and in other games I've played before, and use it to my advantage. I now have a real purpose in life that can be used to increase my profit margin in the game and allow me to play longer without interruption. Winning!
Anyway, Serpentis is once again trying to test the tank on this Venture, even though they are rarely ever successful. So let me go deal with them while I come up with something worthwhile to write about.

The New Order for High-Sec
So there's this thing that has been running around High-sec for months now. Some of you may have heard of it, others may not have. That 'thing' is the New Order of Highsec (NO). Here is the link to their blog
http://www.minerbumping.com/
This group is lead by John 315 who has self titled himself "The Savior of Highsec". For those of you who have never heard of The New Order let me give you the basic run down. NO 'Agents' will bump AFK/bot miners (heretofore mentioned as an AFKer). This is only the minutest of issues however. Granted an AFKer who becomes bumped away from a roid is no longer mining and is merely sitting in space.This only postpones a AFKers activities for however long it takes the miner to realise and go back to the roid. The biggest problem many people have with NO is their extensive use of what many EVE players refer to as Suicide ganking.
Suicide ganking is where a group of PVP pilots get together with high dps ships and will fire on some misfortunate soul and have enough dps to kill them before CONCORD shows up on scene to kill the aggressors. This is a very well used practice for NO operatives. John 315 then demands an ISK payment of 10mill for a year long 'Mining Permit' to protect you from their own people (which they can choose to ignore the fact you have one btw).
Sound bad so far? Well to get John's perspective on it go read his blog which I linked above. Me, however, his blog just makes the miner in me seethe.
I take two approaches to finding a good personal feeling for John and his New Order. The first is that of the Miner. As you may notice in my last post I now have an industry related toon. So from the perspective of someone who goes out sets a miner to a belt launches drones then tabs over to my other toons to go pew pew or work my espionage magic, I have a problem with these guys. They are a direct threat to my safety, and ultimately my profit.
The second is as if I am merely reading this as a story. Here I don't mind what John is doing and I actually like it. He has created this character, or persona if you will, of an individual who believes that what he is doing is for the good of everyone, even though from others perspectives it is harmful and damaging to the community. He is fantastic at remaining in character during all of this as well. So for that part, I applaud him, but I won't buy his permit.
So now for the good news. There is currently a group of pilots who are working to counter NO's activities. They patrol around highsec looking for NO Agents and working to bring them down before a miner is lost. However, they have been only marginally successful. This is on par with a group of native American Indians fighting against the British Army, or like John Connor facing down Skynet single handedly. He might have a few good things on his side, and he may have a good drive and a damned good reason for doing it, but that doesnt mean he is guaranteed success.
Enter CTU.
A Counter Terrorist Unit is currently in development to combat NO and their work. I can't tell you too much just yet but know it is happening. No will have a serious threat in the (hopefully) near future. If you have questions or comments you may speak with me in my public chat in-game or bug me in my public C3 channel.
Until then, Fly Dangerous

A Drastic Change in this Blog. Kinda
So those of you who bother to check once in a while (which is no one) will notice, the toon Cyanide Jester has been biomassed. Why you ask? That is simple. As I referred to gently in my previous posts I had something planned for SGS for their gracious gift of Director roles. However, I need to explain further.
A couple weeks after I joined SGS one of the senior experienced members told the corp he was going to quit. So I private convo'd him. After about 20 minutes of talking about what he didn't like about the corp I 'hinted' that the corp chain of command was going to change. I essentially brought him in on a little idea that had been running through my head ever since SGS gave me the officer title. The corp CEO at the time was a new player. He had been playing for a couple months and had originally started the corp with a few friends of his that he started playing with. They had all left so he opened it up to all new players. He had no idea what he was getting into. He understood just enough of the game to not get lost in its intricacy, but wasn't fully aware of the deeper more sinister portions of EVE.
Well the days dragged on and two more experienced players joined. We will call them M and P to make things short, though anyone affiliated with SGS will know who they are. Well after prolly a week or so I had grown disheartened by the lack of movement space I had to do what I wanted, and the lack of benefit I would gain from what I had planned. You see, Im not a leadership role kind of person. I can do it, and can be successful at doing it, but I don't really enjoy it further then what I can gain from it. So I decided to leave SGS, I was literally hours away from the completion of my Corp stasis when I began talking with M. A short conversation with him and I realised that he had nearly the exact same thoughts I had about the corp. This was great news and heightened my enthusiasm. As this was my first attempt at this he guided me through a few steps on what to do or not do while setting the pieces in place for what was planned.
This drug slowly on in the background for another week or so. I had gotten M and P Officer roles in the corp through a war-dec that we had received. (Which btw cost P like 40bill ISK to clear away) Anyhow they took a greater role in leading the corp and furthering the agenda. Part of this included stocking the corp hangar and corp wallet. Well, being the resourceful individual that I am, I had a plan. Fuck trying to take over the corporation at all. This was a waste of time. With M and P in leadership positions it was only a matter of time before one of them became CEO (Which P did hours before I left officially). I decided to cash in my chips and call it a day. I emptied the corp wallet and the corp hangars into my own personal belongings and removed my roles, thereby entering corp stasis again. 24 hours. A full day that I needed to wait out before I could officially leave the corp. So I logged off and bided my time.
I watched EVEmon during the time I was away to see if they would mail me of anything about it. Nothing. I waited an extra day, still nothing. So I logged in. Immediately M and P began asking questions. I ignored them and went about my business of getting things moved out of the system so I could sell them. I then logged again.
The next day I logged in to check on the toon and my corp status. They had removed me from corp. I however had walked away with approximately 2.3 billion worth of ISK and assets. A win in my books.
So I made the decision I would Biomass Cyanide Jester as Espionage of this sort attracts attention and I do not want too much attention attributed to my name. I transferred everything off the toon and terminated it.
Is this my last blog post? Hell no. Ill be keeping an eye on this blog more often now then I have the last few days. I wont be telling you my new account/toon name to protect my privacy during espionage missions. I will be keeping you updated on things. Also the C3 channel and the Public chat will still be open. The non-espionage related account I will e using in that chat will be Duke Ferret so if you want to say hello you may. Or if you would like to tell me what a good job I did, or perhaps want to deride me and tell me that players like me are why EVE loses players. Well let me tell you something. It is players like me that show people how important the rules of EVE are.
Rule Number 1: Only fly what you are willing to lose.
Rule Number 2: DON'T TRUST ANYONE
The second rule is crucial especially to new players. This is what I exist for. teaching people this rule. So keep tuned, I will be doing things like this like clockwork if I can. But until then.

Resistance is Futile
So the last couple days have been interesting. So we shall break it up into different parts this time to explain it.
Firstly, the High-Sec Corp. Silver Ghost Soldiers. That is the corp I joined to use while I get my skills up. Things are progressing smoothly. As a Captain I am effectively two steps below the CEO, so I have a bit of pull with how things get run. Just last night I was given Director rights to the corporation, so my reach within the corp is nearly limitless. The only thing that awaits is time. As well as a few helping hands. On a sidenote, why did they see fit to allow CEO's and Directors the ability to see what other members have in their personal hangar? I mean its interesting and all, but what prompted that permission? There are a handful of good PVPer's in the corp so I will have to work out a way to get them on my side as swiftly as possible, which shouldn't be too hard.
Second, Ships. Osprey. I've finally got a decent fit going for my Osprey even though it still needs some work. I have to run too many cap rechargers/cap relays to keep it stable with one transporter going. At the moment, I am working on getting the tank on it to something a little better. I fit Tech 2 extenders on it finally and am working towards the Tech 2 Invuln. Once that is complete I will need to decide what rigs I want to fit to it. Shield? Capacitor? Either way I have a couple days to decide for sure. Once that is complete I need to get my electronics skills up higher. Fiddling with all these knobs and such is time consuming and I can't quite get enough out of it for what I want. Next is drones. I would like to get some good drones going. Not sure if I want combat drones, or repair drones yet, but like I said before, I have plenty of time.
Other then that life has been slow. Ive started spot checking survivability of the members the last couple days. Ill go find one of them, and in my newly fit Meta 4 Condor, Ill long point them and then plink away at their ship to see if they can respond in time, or if they cannot deal with it, then comm over a member who can and get them out to the rescue.

Mining... oh god...
Today was rather eventful. After an hour or so of sitting around doing little to anything. We had a corpmember start complaining in comms that hehad lost another ship due to negligence and not paying attention. My first reaction was to tell him he is retarded and needs to take better care of his shit(Oh that reminds me I should tell you about the killboard for the corp... I have not seen anything this depressing in my life). ANyhow, in an act of goodwill I offered to bring my newest addition to my fleet, a Bantam. I had seen Logistics ships in action before but I naver realized their full awe inspiring work until I put this together. Granted in any PVP situation it would melt faster then you grandmothers four pound sticvk of butter in the back of the fridge. nevertheless, it was a great way to get me interesting in Logi ships in general. I filled my highslots with Tech 2 Shield Transporters and filled the meds with tech 2 cap rechargers. Yes, she was cap stable, but about as tough as a door mouse on acid. Oh and did I mention thet she literally does less than zero damage? Yea awesome right? Anyhow I had tested the repairing properties of this ship of what was soon to be awesome. So the CPF AlienArt went on its fuirst test run. The Security Division head and the other SecDiv captain had both fought each other yesterday Tam in her Cruiser class, and Alas in her Destroyer class. The Cruiser won that fight. Well I, at the time underestimating the abilities of AlienArt, suggested they do it again and I would try and see if I could keep the destroyer alive this time. Long story short, the cruiser could not break the tank I was giving the destroyer, like at all. I was stoked.
So I took CPF Alien Art out on her first "real mission". I use quotes to show how much I actually think it was a mission at all. It was more of a way to bide time and hang out with members of the corp. Seven or eight of us went out to some random belt out in the middle of nowhere and started this thing. We had 3-4 ventures mining, we talked our Orca pilot into showing up, and even had the Corp CEO out in her death dealing machine of badassery. Or as the Amarr call it, the Apocalypse. So we had firepower. All went well, until we were left with only two support frigs for the three ventures that were mining, then it became AWESOME! I was still flying AlienArt and one of the Indy guys was flying her Gallente brother-ship, which I cant remember the name of right now. So we had two Logi frigs and three miners... Oh and did I mention the only damage we had in the whole fleet was a single Drone? yea we got ambushed by a trio of rats looking for an easy kill. Well due to the fact that non-capsuleer rats are ralatively dumb (though recently they have started to actually learn and adapt in combat, which is new and exciting), I started repping one of the ventures and the other logi since they were both taking damage. Shortly thereafter, all thnree rats decided I was in their way. My shields dropped dramatically. I shot a message in comsfor the other logi to target me and be ready to rep as soon as I hit armor. I did hit armor, and he came to the rescue with his drone blaring and taking the rats down one by one. We almost lost the drone in the battle as I didnt think about the fact that it would be taking damage now (The other logi had his armor rep on it so it survived). All in all though all five ships survived with barely a scratch on them afterwards. So needless to say, I have developed a healthy respect and awe for Logi ships. I will probably be training the Amarr one soon so I have armor rep in my arsenal as well.
Thats all for now Im tired and need a few drinks....

After a Long Hiatus
The real question you should be asking, is not "Where have you been?" but "Have you actually been gone at all?"
In reality I have been pretty much absent. Due to projects for work and a chunk of time without Internet that would support my pixelated spaceships.. I have been away. But training has continued the whole time! Anyhow I'M back and let me give you a few updates of the last few days.
First off, Selena. Selena has decided to take her own extended break from the life of the capsuleer. She pretty much liquidated everything she owns and gave it to me. So I have a bill and a half in ISK. Woot!
Secondly Pirating. Unfortunately when I returned I realized that with my skills Im not really in a position to do a whole lot of pirating right now. Also playing Solo (now that Selena is gone) is generally fairly boring. If I don't have a chat open with people I can make fun of at a rapid rate of fire.. I'm not yet entertained. So I joined a corp... an Anti-Pie corp at that. A friend of mine was a member so I figured I would join and play with him.
Thirdly, the new Corp. I honestly cannot remember the name of it off hand... but I will look it up later and fix my info on the blog. Anyhow it is a young corp built as a playground for newbs. Like literally. There are maybe 4-5 experienced players on there, and just about the rest of the 40 something odd players are like.. a couple weeks old.. MAX. So its been fun. Ive only been a member for like 2-3 days and Ive gone from a lonely capsuleer just looking for people to talk to, to being two rank slots below the CEO and pretty much running the corp as a whole. Technically I am only the Second-In-Command of the Security Division, but in reality I fill the Sec Div's command role.
The management of the Corp is horrid.. The CEO is a really laid back guy, which I am cool with, but when he blows off members or just accepts their application then ignores them, that is a problem. Which started an interesting convo between me and one of the other experience players yesterday. CEO has pretty much given the Officers free run of the corp, granted we still need to get him to do admin shit for the corp, but hey who actually wants to do that anyway? So he serves his purpose. For now. I am trying to kickstart the corp as a whole and get it running smoothly and efficiently right now.
Now that the boring stuff is complete let us move onto the behind the scenes stuff that is REALLY going on. I am moving up the ranks of the corp for a reason, and not just to fill the vacuum of leadership left behind by the CEO. I have a dual-purpose with this which should be interesting to see played out. (Remember, my pirating days are not over, they are merely... postponed, if you will.) I wont spoil all the details now as who knows who reads these. Perhaps someone in the corp?

First off, Selena. Selena has decided to take her own extended break from the life of the capsuleer. She pretty much liquidated everything she owns and gave it to me. So I have a bill and a half in ISK. Woot!
Secondly Pirating. Unfortunately when I returned I realized that with my skills Im not really in a position to do a whole lot of pirating right now. Also playing Solo (now that Selena is gone) is generally fairly boring. If I don't have a chat open with people I can make fun of at a rapid rate of fire.. I'm not yet entertained. So I joined a corp... an Anti-Pie corp at that. A friend of mine was a member so I figured I would join and play with him.
Thirdly, the new Corp. I honestly cannot remember the name of it off hand... but I will look it up later and fix my info on the blog. Anyhow it is a young corp built as a playground for newbs. Like literally. There are maybe 4-5 experienced players on there, and just about the rest of the 40 something odd players are like.. a couple weeks old.. MAX. So its been fun. Ive only been a member for like 2-3 days and Ive gone from a lonely capsuleer just looking for people to talk to, to being two rank slots below the CEO and pretty much running the corp as a whole. Technically I am only the Second-In-Command of the Security Division, but in reality I fill the Sec Div's command role.
The management of the Corp is horrid.. The CEO is a really laid back guy, which I am cool with, but when he blows off members or just accepts their application then ignores them, that is a problem. Which started an interesting convo between me and one of the other experience players yesterday. CEO has pretty much given the Officers free run of the corp, granted we still need to get him to do admin shit for the corp, but hey who actually wants to do that anyway? So he serves his purpose. For now. I am trying to kickstart the corp as a whole and get it running smoothly and efficiently right now.
Now that the boring stuff is complete let us move onto the behind the scenes stuff that is REALLY going on. I am moving up the ranks of the corp for a reason, and not just to fill the vacuum of leadership left behind by the CEO. I have a dual-purpose with this which should be interesting to see played out. (Remember, my pirating days are not over, they are merely... postponed, if you will.) I wont spoil all the details now as who knows who reads these. Perhaps someone in the corp?
