For those of you who saw and upvoted my initial post on Amarr Local Chat here I have taken this nuclear since being donated a Phantasm and I think it has the potential to actually be funny.

I want to create something different and interesting in the game that will appeal to all types of players. This could be big, but requires community support through suggestions of how to develop it and donations through the 10isk trade game.

The story has been developed and will continue to be updated regularly on the blog I created for this. Rather than letting your surplus items collect dust in their hangars, let them be destroyed by my incompetent hands and I’ll document the process as I go.

Any suggestions are welcome, and if this is posted in the wrong section please can you move it to where it is most appropriate.

Stopped reading at reddit link.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Go to My Eve if you want to promote your blog. That seems like all that you're doing, since you didn't actually say WHAT you are doing, other then something that happened on reddit and your blog.

So..you got given the most sub-par faction cruiser by a donor..and now think everyone should just donate ships to you so you can end them in fireworks? You can probably find some bored people to help you out but if you want to get ships donated to you I'd suggest getting good at PVP and making a youtube channel. I think someone even donated a T3 to Kil2...but he was also a good pilot...any fool can get himself blown up....

Why not use the phantasm for like... yknow... something, uh, good?
Or wait for Odyssey rebalancing where it'll get some love.

I was going to say, why would you donate a such a worthless ship...

The only thing the other party can do is sell it to some hapless noob who doesn't know better.

The phatasm is being rebalanced for Odyssey? Really? I didn't think CCP would get round to that for at least a few more years.

The Phantasm is great when you stick a load more ship underneath it, add some spikes, throw in a few Tachyons... oh wait it's a Nightmare! I love how your cruiser is my battleship's bridge. Smile

I fully appreciate that this isn't anything compared to Kil2's videos, and that using ships in the way he did before getting hired by CCP is insanely impressive, yet this isn't the purpose for this. The idea is more simply to provide some casual entertainment for those that may not have access to ships like a Phantasm, or who would want to see ships being lost for amusement as the game can be taken too seriously at times, without having to tarnish their kill boards or feeling the act was otherwise pointless.

This wasn't intended to be a shameless posting of a blog. I've never used one before and it just seemed like the best method for those who wanted to follow to get involved. If this receives no interest then I won't post it further, was just a simple test to see if people would be interested in something different in the game, and if they are, then to post it somewhere for them to follow without clogging the forums or other channels.
