Welp... managed to dislocate my right knee today.

Didn't feel anything tear (having previously torn most of the stuff in my left knee I'm familiar with the sensation)

Right knee is nevertheless stiff and swollen.

I keep feeling discouraged in almost anything i try to do in eve. There is always someone somewhere that will tell you that you can get more isk by doing this and this. And the thing that's annoying me the most is that you need multiple accounts for some things, or thats how the eve community makes it seem. Like i dont want to buy 6 damn accounts to enjoy a video game. So what if i dont make 1 bil isk a day. EvE has got to be the worst game for new players, but hey that's not always a bad thing. I actually learned a lot of things on my own and by dying 40 times. I'm not leaving or anything, just frustrating how the people playing the game seem so elitist and perfectionist. 90% of the "new player friendly" corps are just looking for members, they wont do anything that they promise.

Yeah it can get a bit frustrating at times if you don't want to have a dozen accounts. I can't remember who it was, but I'm pretty sure there's someone in LAGL who's railed on corps that promise the moon to new players and then either ignore them, or worse, in the past.

Signal Cartel, however, is very good people. :)

As someone who does not enjoy doing things on multiple characters, I feel your pain. I have one other right now that I've tried to bring to fleets a couple of times, but it's more trouble than it's worth. When it lapses I'm not PLEXing it again.

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing good. Just re-posting a story I wrote and posted in the old thread.

Quote:
A long time ago, within this Universe, located in the Milky Way Galaxy was a Planetary System called Sol. That system had 5 small inner Planets, 4 large outer Planets with a small Planet circling the outer edge. Over time the 5th Planet furthest from it's Star eventually developed life that evolved into Sentient Beings.

This is the story of the Planet Hume and it's inhabitants called Humans.

List of Planets starting from the Star known as Sol :
Mercury
Venus
Terra
Mars
Hume
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto

Now back to the story.

Humans are basically a Nomadic race with an insatiable desire to explore and exploit everything. Over time the Humans overpopulated Planet Hume and while making great advances in Technology, depleted the natural resources of the Planet. Despite recycling and conservation programs, they couldn't stop the inevitable destruction of the Eco-system on Planet Hume which would soon no longer support life. Knowing that they had limited time, Humans looked to escape the extinction of their race by colonizing the only other Planet within the Sol System that was capable of supporting life, the Planet Mars.

Planet Mars was a young lush tropical Planet teaming with Vegetation, rich in natural resources with no Sentient life. The Humans on Planet Hume used their remaining resources to build great Space Ships which relocated the entire Human race to Planet Mars.

Time passes ........................

With their advanced Technology and prior knowledge of the mistakes made on their home world Planet Hume, the Humans were very conservative with the natural resources on Planet Mars. Life flourished and everything was great for 100's of years. However due to the depletion of natural resources and destruction of the Eco-system on Planet Hume, the Planet itself eventually exploded which caused a Gravitational shift among the inner Planets of the Sol System.

List of Planets starting from the Star known as Sol :
Mercury
Venus
Terra
Mars
Asteroid Belt (Planet Hume)
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto

Now back to the story.

The Gravitational shift caused catastrophic events to take place on Planet Mars which quickly turned the lush tropical climate into a barren arid wasteland. Due to the lack of surface Vegetation the Oxygen rich atmosphere dissipated which ultimately forced the Humans to live underground. Even though the surface of Planet Mars was laid to waste, there was still fresh water available in underground springs. With advanced Technology, recycling and conservation programs, the Human race continued to flourish. Despite strict protocols on birth control due to limited resources, they knew eventually the Human race would be facing extinction once again..

Time passes ................

After the Gravitational shift of the inner Planets, Planet Terra soon become capable of supporting life. The Planet itself was teaming with various types of Vegetation and Animal life, extremely rich with natural resources and according to probes, no Sentient life. The Humans on Planet Mars still had the giant Space Ships they originally used from Planet Hume. To escape extinction once again, the Human race planned to reuse those same ships and move to Planet Terra.

While preparations were being made to evacuate from Planet Mars, a Faction calling themselves Martians soon arose. The community was now split into 2 groups, Martians and Humans. Despite reports from probes showing no Sentient life forms, the Martians claimed the Humans had no right to make Planet Terra their new home due to the possibility it might contain or soon produce Sentient life. As such, tension arose and as the time to evacuate got nearer, small fights started happening. The fighting escalated and soon all communication between the 2 Factions halted and open hostility ensued. Eventually an uneasy peace was secured and the Humans launched their ships to Planet Terra.

Unknown to the Humans, days before the launch a small fanatical group of Martians had secretly infiltrated the Human Community and sabotaged the ships, rigging them to explode upon entering orbit of Planet Terra. Most of the Humans died in the explosions, however some of them did manage to get into Escape Pods and land safely on Planet Terra. The Humans in the Escape Pods, spread out over a large area, found themselves in a harsh land filled with danger.

To make matters worse, they quickly found out that Planet Terra did indeed have Sentient life forms which they called Neanderthals. These Neanderthals were very primitive and violent, aggressively attacking the Humans who had invaded their territory. Despite their brute strength, the Neanderthals were no match to the superior intellect of the Humans who quickly eliminated the Neanderthal species. With all their supplies, equipment and Technology destroyed, the Human race basically had to start over again, creating crude weapons for survival, living in caves and wearing animal skins for clothing.

Time passes ......................

Humans are basically a Nomadic race with an insatiable desire to explore and exploit everything. Over time the Humans have overpopulated Planet Terra which they now call Earth. They have made great advances in Technology but are quickly polluting and depleting the natural resources of the Planet. Despite recycling and conservation programs, they won't be able to stop the inevitable destruction of the Planet's Eco-system which eventually won't be able to support life. Knowing they have limited time, Humans are now looking to escape the extinction of their race by colonizing other Planets.

This is the story of the Planet Hume and it's inhabitants called Humans.

I like how Humans were of german ethnicity and knew about Neadertal region already. BlinkLol

I think they should have had some other, made up language and names.
Sorry, but Hume exploding is funny. I dont know if its just that you did describe reasons as depletion of resources (they dig too deep? Too much bean consumed? Lol ) and because it is usually known as Jupiter's gravitational influence, that there is not a planet there.
In one moment they did not know there was sentient life on Terra, and on another one they stumbled upon it. That is slightly confusing without timeline of sorts.

Everything else looks ok'ish, but what have happened to Martians? Did they turn green and scaly? Cool

1b per day is certainly achievable on a single account with one character. Don't work harder, work smarter.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read my story. It's actually just an overview for a Science Fiction story, like a movie plot. Doesn't have to be scientifically correct nor dated to conform with known history, just needs to be somewhat plausible.

Depleting natural planetary resources and destroying the Ozone Layer could have devastating effects planet-wide which then could ignite Electrical, Nuclear, Chemical and Petroleum sources. Adding those man made items could easily influence a planetary explosion.

Also if you look at our Solar System there is indeed an Asteroid Belt between the small inner planets and the larger outer planets. Maybe you can explain how that was created?

As for the Neanderthal species being sentient or not, that's still being debated by scholars.

Lastly the story is not about Martians, it's the story of the Planet Hume and it's inhabitants called Humans.

The asteroid belt was not "created". It failed to become a (small) planet due to the gravitational interference of Jupiter. Also doesn't help that there's very little mass there, maybe enough to build a planet like Mercury if everything was together.

As for planets exploding, that's a no-no. The energy required to blow a planet so it wouldn't just reassemble in a smaller self after several thousand centuries would have a mass equivalent to 80% of the mass of that planet. Planet destroyers are funny SF devices, but they're absolutely unreal. Just imagine what kind of container would you need to hold such amount of energy that it would weight 80% of the mass of the planet you want to destroy... then think of MOVING all that mass... If you could move a planet's worth of mass, why don't just throw the planet into the sun? Wouldn't be very dramatic but would be failsafe.

Now, as for rendering a planet uninhabitable... just take a few asteroids, give them a well aimed push and turn all the surface into molten lava. That would settle the matter for a few thousand years. Again not very dramatic, but failsafe... and cheap.

I would rather read about martians, I dont know, maybe I know too much about Humans already?

But on other hand, Martians were already described in many stories.

Humans as aliens is plausible idea in beginning, but then, real stuff comes so hard into the idea, that every retcon of the history without breaking anything would be very hard. Going into the future with this idea is slightly safer. You can always make them travel in time, visiting alternate dimensions.
Spacefaring humanoid ancient races creating other humanoids in the past and such was already written about, but they are always from outside the solar system, only steering evolution of humankind. They are more believable that way.
I think all have been there. Written. Slight adaptations for one of the stories would create maybe something fresh, but not relevant in my opinion.
