They set a further gate camp for me in another choke point system further down the way (really), which i avoided using my new found survival instincts. Lowsec conquored another little bit :)

Secondly i have discovered it is indeed possible to obtain someones address from their license plate number in the uk, locator agents anyone? Blink

On a positive note, I have a theory that this game has the potential to set up neural pathways capable of breaking the "it can't happen to me" mentality that makes people ripe for becoming the next victim. Complacency is expensive in this game, and so the asshattery (or legitimate goals of piracy, war, etc) in this game can give a person an edge in the real world simply by the "practice" of the correct mindset to survive in this game.


This is why some people can say - and I would argue they could be correct - that suicide ganking an AFK player might be doing them a favor. This would be the case IF (instead of quitting, complaining on the forums, etc) they decided to play more carefully in the future.

Another potential loss to poor mindset in this game is the competition itself. A lot of people would look at other people, perhaps with more prowess or potential, and be inclined to modify they system in which they live under to quell competition. For example, a business owner who, fearing compeition, supports new laws making it harder for new people in the business to get their start. If you play EvE and agree with the mindset promoted in this game, you might intead find yourself in the opinion that if someone else can best you in open competition, then perhaps you deserve to lose.

This is the baseline struggle of EvE. People who will accept loss and gain on their own merits versus those who meta a system to their advantage.

Is the laptop needed for you to perform your profession since it spellchecks and fixes your grammar?

I'm Australian, but my wife is from North Carolina. Her 90 year old grandmother has more guns than my country's military.

Don't forget, self destruct is not an option any more, your laptop could have dropped intact.

Glad you made it out in one piece, but yeah, I suppose Eve DOES help you make you more aware of stuff like that.
It gives you the mental survival instincts that can be quite usefull, and armed with those, even a basement dwelling fatkid is scarier than he looks. Shocked

When I was living as a student, me and my then GF got mugged once while cycling under a bridge. One of them hit me with a baseball bat, which gave me a nasty concussion. The 'fun' part of this was, because they thought I was the scary person, as I was larger than her, they went for me first, with the baseball bat.
What they didn't know was that she was 2nd dan Jiu-Jitsu.. when I woke up, one of them wasn't moving with bits of broken baseball bat in places they shouldn't be, and the other was running for his life.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?
