God damn IGS

It seems you guys have a issue getting along..as usual, maybe e should try and have another pleasant conversation about something not political or horrible news related to lower the stress levels and be mellow


Lets talk about...What we do in our spare time, you know..Just what we do to blow off steam, or just relax.....Also please, if it involves harming someone else..just..keep that to yourself and come up with something nonviolent, i know theres something nonviolent that makes you happy....And if there is not then holy **** you probably need to see a doctor about your mental health.

Also as a bonus, i would like everyone here to compliment the poster above you...along with what you do in your spare time...Lets all be nice and get along for once, if you got nothing nice to say then don't leave a compliment, its not required.


What do i do in my spare time....Well i play holo games mostly...its nice to immerse myself in another game...I RP in some games..and RP stands for "Roleplaying" its when you pretend to be someone else in another universe...And...for some reason me saying that seems...Odd

But yeah...I'm a huge nerd and happy, also afterwards il go outside and smoke some Dryweed and throw grenades at various things i have littered around my yard....This is also my drawing board room of sorts...as this is where my company gets majority of its ideas from...


Well thats what i do, what about you?

For a complement, I admire the fact your trying to make people act more civil. I usually just watch holoreels and enjoy some ethnic substances. Followed by some dryweed then usually take a nap or just flat out sleep until my next fleet is forming.

I like philosophy and physical training.

In my rare spare time, when not reading in a comfortable chair with our corporation mascot (a puppy), I garden. I go to the beach. I go to church and spiritual retreats.

Hm, good question... depends on what I want, I guess. On a quiet day...

If it's just relax, then dig into some machinery. I love the intricacies of delicate electronics and software driving them, don't get me wrong - but there's just something awfully cathartic about working on a big, dirty engine.

Letting off some steam on days when you just feel like punching someone in the gut? Physical training does wonders for any anger management issues. It also keeps the flesh in check and in line with the machine.

Now on non-so quiet days of warfare, fighting and big battles there's only one way to spend downtime: partytime. With people from all over the Imperium, the types you've flown with in many campaigns? Get drunk, chemical and find out you sparked an all-out bar brawl in a fit of jealousy, while completely blacked out.

Then rise and shine, time to suit up and burn some more. You'll sober up enough in-flight to dive in for a repeat later... and let's just say what happens after a major victory would probably not be safe for this board.

I have a list of things I do to kill time:

1. Brewing coffee
2. Working on my pet projects.
3. Performing the Rites of Maintenance on the Machines. Especially starships
4. Holo-games
5. Mixing with staff, crew and companions. Usually involves some kind of labour.
6. Long walks
7. Read pulp fiction
8. Kit out the personal MTAC
9. Play around with mini-circuits
10. Getting beating to a pulp in local connection holo-games
11. Food crawl
12. Getting caught up in one thing or another.
13. Write to Mom.
14. IGS shitposting.

Thanks. It is hard work to keep it shiny and reflective enough to act as a mirror and I am glad that the effort paid off.

And genuinely complimenting, you are very sharply dressed. Who's your tailor?

Despite being on opposite sides of an irreconcilable cultural barrier you've made for a very pleasant heathen thus far. You also seem to have very similar interests to myself when off duty.

Having graduated from the Marthia branch of the Royal Amarr Institute with qualification in mechanical and electrical engineering I find performing dabbling mechanical and electrical systems to be quite cathartic. It's typically drop-suits and support equipment but every now and again I get around to tuning one of the HAV platforms.

What fills the soul? Something that guides a lost child back to it's parents arms. Or waves that dye the shores of the heart gold. A blessed breath to nurture life in a land of wheat. Or the path the Sef descend drawn in ash. In the wake of fire.

Dropsuits are far more complicated than MTACs, mostly due to the amount of miniaturisation that is involved. The nanocircuit-meshes are very delicate, precise and quite difficult to work with and always involve specialised equipment. One can't simply just bolt stuff on it and then fire it up and see if it performs as you hope. The fact that you tinker with those as a hobby speaks highly of your abilities.

I pick MTACs as a hobbyist passion due to the customisability. Currently, I had the arms changed into weapon-arms, add two more weapons on the shoulders for when I need to swap out the weaponry. The resulting MTAC was very top-heavy, so I had to increase the surface area of the feet, more support frames on legs and add additional hydraulics to the abdomen and torso. Then I ran into the problem of the MTAC being as slow as a Titan with half her propulsion systems online. To get around that I added hydrazine rocket tanks and boosters at lower abdominal region and legs. It helps with the additional plating I had to add to protect all those parts. Also a better generator and microlattice heat sinks to power everything without it combusting.

Of course, operating all those systems is more complicated than base so I had to rework the control scheme and the circuitry entirely.

Me? I spend my time reading up on history and trying to anticipate whatever may happen next Smile

Apart from that, though, I spend time working out (though none of us have any physical need to do so), and I occasionally sing my favorite tunes from all over the cluster. This sometime comes at the pleasure or horror of my crew, however, as I sometimes sing in the capsule and broadcast it throughout my ship.

In my spare time I like to shitpost on IGS as well as read other peoples shitposts.
It's really quite fun!

Honestly? I have no idea. I saw the outfit in a fashion magazine and had to have it.

I play with my dogs (I'd love for them to become PIE mascots) or read a book, or converse over good tea with a friend.

I've also taken up physical training beyond just keeping the pounds off and I'm feeling much better for it.

As a Phayder Master, i spend a lot of time listening to the Voice of Nanoblack in my veins, trying to understand it's will, looking for the way it shows me. It's my responsobility, but it's also my greatest pleasure.

Aside from what mortals say, Necris do not take pleasure in torturing, killing and bringing pain and destruction. Human's lives are too precious to be mindless wasted.

Nanoblack make us to feel each other like the one being: every single emotion, impression and desire we feel like our own. In the eternal cold of darkness we are listening to the movements of the Universe, to the lives come and pass, to the silence beyond all words and actions.

I train my 2 Yetamo's Kukei & Fang, usually while high on some sort of substance, i may have an addiction im not quite sure yet, other hobbies include tuning spaceships, martial arts and spending time at the target range refining my marksman skills.

I dance.

Amphitheatrical theremin mainly, but also classical balletics and less formally, flamenco. Allowing the body to completely take over guided by music is the best cure for stress and adrenalin-rush that I know. It is also excellent conditioning, which is necessary for overcoming the stasis effects of the capsule, and those of my other passion, which is artisanal cheese.

Less energetically, I also like to curate my ethnological collection. We've established a branch of the Federal Museum by foundation on several worlds, and I am thus privileged to be able to log into the curation channels and work with experts on curating finds from across the cluster. (Don't worry, purists - whilst I'm obscenely privileged by birth, my first doctorate is in Ethnology, so I'm not just allowed to interfere because Daddy is rich).

Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.

It also allows one to connect to the material world. Helps to ward off Capsuleer Dementia.

I find that the best way to stay connected to the things outside the Pod is to get involved in it. Put in some labour, shed some sweat, bruise the flesh, get the fingernails chipped, the skin callused. Helps oneself to feel as a person rather than a component of a starship.
