Okay, today i realized, that those times, were just uber fun and dynamic! Well probably because of the dynamics and the adrenaline shooting through the veins. With 1k pilots in system, danger everywhere, a staging pos bubbled, fleets shooting everywere, people flying in and out. The communication with your fellow mates, that created the bond. I miss it a bit.


The old stagingpos rapecages do you miss it?

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

How could anyone possibly miss anything called a 'rapecage'?

Never really understood the tactic, given that capital & supercapital ships can "starburst" out of it, i.e. change shield password and jump when clear.

I imagine being blindfolded wouldnt do much in the way of endearing one to a "**** cage" and would hasard a guess that it quite probably makes the whole thing worse.


Man, this got dark quickly.

In a lot of cases you probably want to catch them trying to get into the POS
Not sure if it still happens but you used to get caught on a bubble during your log in warp.

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

Yeah this. Having someone blow up your internet spaceship is in no way or form remotely equal to ****, and I find the comparison vaguely offensive. **** leaves people scarred for life, its an incredibly dark and serious thing, and the amount that it's made light of is somewhat sickening.

You 'bubble wrap' something to protect it, keep it safe. In this thread's context, we would be rightfully doing the complete opposite.

This thread made my day.

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!?

I have a strong dislike for the name, always have always will.

I quite like the ironic name of bubble wrapping as it both captures the visual and ironic aspects.

By bubbling a tower, I like to think I AM protecting stuff. My stuff. Mostly because i'm working for it.

Interesting subject...on a related note I just read about Jared from subway's arrest. He was just trying to make a name for himself, but in the end ended up coming in a little behind
