    Wow... Didn't think this old thread was still around


    Well... Guess I can write something if only for the catharsis.


    Ever since my last post I've been playing EVE on an on-again - off-again basis. I've experienced pretty much everything the game has to offer - I lived in High-sec, running missions... Did a stint in Lowsec, doing some mining and PvP... Lived in Nullsec for a year or two, doing anything from PvP to PvE and basic industry and exploration... I spent some time in Wormhole space doing whatever my corpmates and I were in the mood for at any given time... Hell, I was even an active participant in World War Bee, which saw pretty much every single in-game coalition band together against the GoonSwarm Federation (or ''The Imperium'' as they like to call themselves) and saw them removed from their throne as the ''most powerful'' coalition in the game. All in all - I've seen all of New Eden at its best and at its worst.


    However after every venture I undertake, I seem to return to the most basic activity in the whole game: Highsec Mining. I've set up a second account and have trained it to be a dedicated miner, with my main account providing fleet boosts that increase the mining yield and my income. And with the dawn of Citadels, half a year ago, my dream of setting up shop in a remote corner of New Eden is drawing closer.


    With the newest patch, trial accounts can pretty much play permanently, albeit with some restrictions. For more info watch this vid:

    .


    Therefore I'd like to use this occasion to offer anyone, who still hasn't come around to try this game, but would like to, a place to grow in game until they're ready to take off their training wheels and set out in the New Eden on their own. (Yes, this is me whoring for new recruits for my corporation - sue me :D )


    So - if anyone new wants to try Eve Online, or if someone old wants to return to the game and simply wants to say ''hi'' - My character names are: Telosis (my main) and Castiana Arzi (Mining alt).


    Have a good day and fly safe.

    Now, we all know that it is usually best to seek professional help, but sometimes it is enough to seek the opinion of your peers, so - this thread should be dedicated to the hard questions. Post them in bold, so we know what to answer to...



    I'll start by asking the following:


    Why do I hate everyone/everything that makes me feel anything?

    during the past 15 months it worked perfectly this way (not a single complain, not a single disput about it)


    Up until now, that is... But okay, if everyone is accepting rampant piracy and cops turning a blind eye as the status quo, then I guess we'll just have to live with it.

    Well... We could start with what has been already mentioned here: Outlining more situation-specific guidelines. (e.g. successfully escape taxing pirate - 2 hour immunity from the pirate in question and cops are obligated to respond to a distress call)

    Well, one suggestion could be to ban piracy altogether, until the balance of power between cops and rats is evened out... But that would be pushing it, so let's file that under ''Plan Z''

    hi corinthos, if you want help to get rid of a bandit the easiest way is to put a bounty on his head... but make sure it's a good one or no one will bother ... :)


    The best way to get rid of pie rats is for cops to actually do their job (RP-Wise, ofc)...

    Mr. Corinthos, Your acting shows lack of at least basic courtesy and it will have consequences. With this said, you lost rights to be able freely pass Sea of Shadows, this system is therefore officially closed for all your ships.


    Huh... So whistleblowing on poor policemanship is a bad thing now?

    Attention: Irony
    Are you trying to make new friends here ?


    Just pointing out the complete and utter ineptitude and uselessness of the Police force (RP-Wise)

    I am fairly certain, than this thread was already here somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I'm ressurecting it, so here's how the game goes:


    A person makes a wish. The next one grants it, but in addition - corrupts the wish.


    Example:


    A: ''I wish I had a Car''
    B: ''Granted, but the Car has no engine''
    B: ''I wish I had more wishes''
    C: ''Granted, but they all backfire''
    C: ''I wish...''


    So let's start it off - I wish I had more rum.

    Title is pretty much self-explanatory. After updating the launcher, the game crashes to my desktop right after the intro movies (did the clean install/flmm1.31 - the whole shebang). Here's the error message I get:

    Any help would be appreciated
