My wife has no problem with my eve life at all.

I'm a very lucky man.

My wife likes to listen to comms to as she enjoys the chat and different accents around the world.

Also when my alliance was betrayed in a big way, in the middle of a major fleet engagement by one of our own, she understood our pain.

Now that's one hell of a woman.

A recovering btter vet,  with a fresh toon and a determination to like everything that CCP does to Eve...

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...

I have found that undocking causes me to lose ships above all other reasons.

For Amarr: "Godlessness."
For Caldari: "You haven't invested in your fit enough and/or you bough the ship made by the wrong (competitor) company."
For Gallente: "The target didn't honor the democratic process of a 1 vs 1 fight."
For Minmatar: "The duct tape didn't hold."
For Serpentis: "You didn't take enough boosters before the fight."
For Sanshas: "You tried to think instead of listening to all knowing voice of Sansha Kuvakei in your head."
For Blood Raiders: "You used bad blood to paint your ship."

Don't you just hate it when she doesn't put enough ice in your drink. You were born with fists for a reason. Give her some incentive to do things your way.

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

The other dude had more SP than me along with his AFK alt providing boosts off grid. True story.

Stupidity, that's the main reason for ship losses.

Bad tactics really. Though lately I've been "playing hard" and taking risks and suddenly it seems like I'm losing them by the hangar full compared to the past loss rate.

Suffice to say, if you're not losing ships, you're not playing.

Still it helps not to do something dumb. But I didn't want that Kestrel anyway. Cool

All about perspective.

She knows where he is.

His passion is a game, not another woman.

Hoping that someone leaves someone also says more about you than them.

OP, if this is your biggest gripe about your union good for you.

Is it wrong that was my first thought too?

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!

I have to admit. I have never, ever lost a ship while docked in a station. You may be on to something there.

My 3yo is the biggest obstacle and I think throwing tantrums while sitting in my lap has caused a few derps ingame overtime.

She makes up for it though everytime I put her on comms to say "Hewwo" to everyone.


Just no, EVE is an escape from among other things in life, other peoples bumbling brats...

The reason that I see most often is the lack of a permit.

There once was a ganker named tisi

A stunningly beautiful missy

To gank a gross miner

There is nothing finer, cept when they get all pissy

My largest loss to date was due to my daughter being sick and calling out to me from the bathroom. I ran to help her and when I got back I was a fresh clone in a station 26 jumps from where I had been ...minus some hefty BPOs and a couple of packed ships.
