So I'm doing carebear stuff in Jita when my wife tells me she needs the computer to log into her work computer remotely. I'm kinda angry since I swear she is doing it to get me off of EVE. I set the autopilot to a high sec station next to the low sec system I live in and I walk away. I come back 30 minutes later and see my Rhea sitting safely in station. However, something is wrong. Why is there only 3 people in local? I look closer, I'm docked in low sec.

I am both angry that I set the AP to my low sec station and excited that my 4 billion ISK ship is alive.

I'm so conflicted right now. But rest assured if I lost that ship I would have blamed my wife...

There are things called "cynos"you can use in low sec. You should look into one.

Wife Agrro = Worst Aggro... (Example, last night)

"Come watch biggest loser with me..."

"uhm no..."

"But we never talk and all you do is play that stupid game..."

"uhm no..."

"Don't you love me anymore...?"

"uhm.. yes?"

Sitting on my ass watching TV for 3 hours every night is okay. Sitting on my ass playing Eve every few nights is frowned upon in this establishment. I hate to break it to my wife but frankly the narrative is better in EVE and my lamest story about EVE is like Chaucer compared to drivel she watches on TV.

Back to you OP. If you had 9 lives, you done gone and spent them all. Enjoy your lucky break becuase you and I both know its just that. A break. In EVE everyone's clock strikes midnight eventually. And get the missus her own laptop.

Blaming others for your own stupidity is disgusting.

Did you even read his post? He wasn't intending to go to lowsec, but to the neighbouring highsec system.

Also, prices for fuel are ridiculously high in case you didn't know. Which would be unlikely, since your alliance is the cause of the sharp increase in cost.

Once I set a destination on a high-sec island, and then placed a midway waypoint of the high right before the first low, and went afk, and when I came back, I was docked in the high sec island. And I was like huuuuhhh??

Cruicble had some interesting features. If you specify a station, auto pilot will now take you to that station. You will warp 15km away then slow boat to docking range, then dock.

Also, if you select a stargate and click the jump button instead of the warp to button, you will warp to the stargate, then jump through. Oh the lemmings that feature must generate and I am surprised we haven't seen a comic yet raging about the warp to and jump button differences.

What was your wife doing out of the kitchen? I can't believe you let her read and write, now there is no telling what is going to happen.

You've missed the point; posting it here and wasting people's time is the crime.
