When your on your travels through high sec/Low Sec.

Do you Click the first guy at the top of local? Read their info & study their picture for no apparent reason, then continue randomly & do the same down the list of people local untill your next jump?

This Thread has been moved from Live Events Disscussion to EVE General Discussion which is the more appropriate location for it.

Nope. I never not travel with Imgur on my second screen. You never know when you will find that fantastically appropriate gif for the situation.




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

First time I have seen that.

As for topic, I am indifferent to people. They are just names with colours.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Low - Yes. I like to know who the potential problems are going to be.
High - No. Everyone is a potential problem.

Sometimes.

But usually only if those people have either very cool or very stupid names that catch my attention.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Depends, if we have other mercenaries involved in our wars then yes absolutely, otherwise only if a name catches my eye.

Flying through hisec, only when they are flying a fancy ship.
Lowsec, to always to check if people are in the same alliance / corporation. Otherwise if alone, I check to see how much time they have played, to estimate how high their combat skills are.

I do it without a second screen. I just save it all in my games notepad too, since it's server sided you keep it all between computers :D


You could store secret things in there.

:l

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Sometimes. Smile

If I'm in high/low then I'm usually travelling somewhere so likely in a rush. But if I'm not then yes, I often browse the local list, I'll look at interesting portraits, read bios and often shoot off a little compliment in a message if I like either.

Always nice seeing people put some effort into their characters in either portrait or bio.

No, that's an activity that interferes with my general paranoia while I'm operating d-scan, cloaks if in a cloaky ship, managing safe spot bookmarks, checking current system statistics and map data, panning and zooming my camera around >.>
<.<

Flipping through player bios while traveling sounds like something an auto-pilot cargo hauler would do...

I'm in it for the money

For low security space and null yes. In high sec I do not. I tend to lose a ton of ships for some reason with my alts high security space though. About 90% of them is me just alt tabbing to another screen for a moment; come back, CODE or some random scrub lord ganking me.

I always scan local like this:

Highsec: Is there anyone from the forum to say hi to?

Lowsec: What potential targets are here?

Nullsec: Everyone's a target, who are they?

Just for intel. Im not really that interested in other people beyond that.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.
