Feel free to take a cruiser in, I'll make up a few replacements for you to buy. :-)

Oh noes! lol

Honestly, I'm not even that keen on risking cruisers at this point. 30-40MM per death stings more than the 2MM loss when I lose a frigate.

Thanks the the heads up, I prolly would have flushed a shiny cruiser with fancy T2 fits right down the drain. Cool

You've been playing EvE for 6 years and gate camping is the best idea you can come up with? XD

Unrelated point: using "MM" as a shortening for "millions" gets confusing. Logically, "M" is the representation of "mega", which in itself means "million". So, "MM" would be "millions of millions", or more succintly, "trillions". "Million" can be efficiently shortened to "KK" (thousands of thousands), or simply "M".

For now it isn't ambiguous what you're saying, but sometimes clarity is important.

Just nitpicking.

Thanks for the heads up, I get used to doing things my way and forget about overall clarity sometimes. lol

Just so you dotnt think I'm crazy though, It's used as standard in some industries. It's derived from the latin root Mille, as in "Thousand".

So MM as used to indicate millions refers to "one thousand, thousand".
