Set aside a day to play EVE, then sit in station all day because a claoky camper has shown up in your null sec system, and there is not a single F'N thing that the game mechanics let you do about it.


Exactly because that camper is so powerful he shut down all the gates and wormholes out of system.

Hell, he hacked you so you can't even clone jump to another station in the region(because you were smart enough to put a clone somewhere else in case of cloaky camping). And then he paid off CCP to disable all your "fleet me" buttons so you can't even rat/mine in a defense fleet!

Cloaky campers need their hacking skills nerfed!


Confirming that cloaky campers are indeed OP and not extremely bored or inconvenienced in the least! It's not like they have to commit an alt, that would be better served making isk or something. Nerf them, indeed!

Really? And how is that like? Time consuming, one would imagine, but is it terribly expensive to get into?
Not to bad, silver costs are reasonable as long as you don't go for big projects and a lot can be done with a small initial outlay to purchase the basic tools required. I started at the local college doing evening classes then started working at home and have built up a reasonable workshop over the years. It is easy to lose hours to a piece of work though, you just don't notice the time slip past Big smile
Hmmm... (contemplting my antique silver-and-turquoise bolo tie) I've got a steady hand, and was near the top of my class in electronics repair in the Nav... Especially solder-work. Time to do some investigation.


Go for it Silens. I did goldsmithing (jewelry repair and jewelry casting) as my summer and holidays work during college. Fun and challenging. You might want to get your tools used on eBay. That way if you ever decide to shut down your shop, you can sell them for the same price you paid. They hold value.
Silver is actually harder to work with than gold. The heat quickly conducts through a silver piece, and if you're not careful the entire thing can suddenly go molten like solder. At least that's what the experienced goldsmith guys told me. Anyway, fun stuff.

You're aware that this is EVE we're talking about, correct? The target audience of which are nerds. Just sayin'.

I noticed how you appropriately did not mention:

6) Go out with your girlfriend

because having a gf is a concept alien to the regular EvE player. Blink

Eve is a job and you better not even think about calling off. You can have sex between shifts and eat at the keyboard.

Or if your wife is as cool as mine do both at keyboard.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

Cloaky girlfriends are dangerous.

No, seriously, though.... sex doesn't need to be mentioned. We're all nerds here.... but we're also EVE players, so sex is implied as part of the routine (as opposed to World of Warcraft folks, who actually gain notoriety and status with the community if they actually manage to copulate with something human and living).

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

I think you've confused E-On for some lesser MMO.... it seems the majority of EVE players are either married or at least in a stable long-term relationship.

But, then again... my in-game existentialism urges me to think "since we are all Chribba's alts, what if he just wanted some of us to have wives or girlfriends?"

Chrib-daddy.... I've been saying this kind of crap since I returned to the game in 07. I'm surprised it's taken you this long to finally spot one of these comments.

If my girlfriend had a sister who was down to move to Iceland, I'd hook you up. Thought that counts, no?
