Refreshed and Invigorated

I have returned from my very restful (although virtually internet free) holiday. Camping in the south of France. Mynxee made a post a few weeks ago about eve overlays, every time I looked at my car, the top box made me think of Expanded Cargohold I modules.

I had a fair amount of time to think about Eve and various plans and I think my continuing enjoyment of Eve is going to rely on me finding a decent Corp to fly with. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to go about finding a group of likeminded pilots to fly with, but I think that in order to really get the most out of Eve, I need to be flying with a larger purpose in mind. For the glory of the corp , not just my own personal agendas!

I was able to keep a limited eye on Eve news via the blog pack, although data charges in for'n clims are extortionate!

I'm quite excited about the upcoming changes: speed nerf and suicide nerf. I never had the skills or cash to fly a nano boat, but I was always uncomfortable with the fact that MWD were mandatory; I like there to be an actual choice between fittings and personally I prefer the non-cap-killing-sig-enhancing afterburner, with the changes to the way stacking penalties will work and the MWD/scrambler change, afterburners might become a viable choice.

I think the 'suicide' changes are fairly ammusing, almost a non-event until the last little throwaway "Oh, and you won't get insurance payouts if you're killed by Concord". I have no real issue with suicide kills in hi-sec space, I think it adds to the rich tapestry of Eve Online, the only safe place is docked in a station and all that. At the end of the day though, it really is only used by a certain type of player.

All-in-all, it looks to be exciting times ahead.
