Seems like there has been a massive attack on the Eve Online servers. Link from Kotaku Looks like it has been down for 16 hrs so far. Might be a good idea to change account password?

Lots of fun, well worth slinging an alt in for explosions and fun without politics and faff. Redirect

Had a few months off again (of EvE) and back to it in high sec now. Nearly achieved what we set out to do in 0.0. Which was grind isk to buy capital BPO's ready for operation 'build titans to play eve for free' Just running some lvl 4's in Amarr space, give me a shout if your interested.

Here is a trick for the captian's telly. Tolerated by the devs but not supported.

I went to manfest, I mean Fanfest! In 2008, where I played a very 'beta' version of WIS. It was promised that it would be released in a year. They finally get round to it now and only release the captains quarters. More-so, you are forced to either goto your quarters everytime you dock or stare at a door instead. Many people have disabled the feature immediatley, no more spinny ship. It doesn't make any sense either, you're a pod pilot and spend most if not all your time in a pod, you wouldn't get out of your pod and wonder round the station while your ships refit it would all be done from within your pod. There is talk of an 'unpod' button sometime in the future. On to nex. Nex has made thousands of people cancel their subs. There is a lengthy post on the forums to this affect. After the leaked internal mail titled 'greed is good' loads more people ragequitted. They have since said there will never be game altering items for sale in the nex market, everybody remains unshure. ok, last bit.. Turrets, the turrets have been upgraded, god only knows how much time they have wasted on this! Yeah, they look cool for about 5 seconds until you zoom right out and get on with the game. Why oh why oh why can they not pool some of this energy into sorting out some of the games more important bugs/problems. rant over. been playing eve for a few years and now back after a year's break. Still enjoying it, just as always facepalming at some of ccps decisions!

Apart from the fact it feels like double the time for entering stations it looks *pretty*, that said I used the option not to load station enviroment so all i see is a picture of a wall. again saying that i am now living in a WH so rarely see the inside of a station. NeX is a waste of time IMHO ATM, why spend the ISK (sorry aurum) for a set of trousers that nobody will be able too see (till they allow everybody to interact directly in stations)

Currently unsubbed due to not having enough time to play, just wondered how the walking in stations is looking? Not a fan of the microtransactions store they have brought in, on a monthly subbed game anyway.

Favourite part = Not dieing (To players or rats) Mining mainly now i'm back living in a wh, PVE the rest of the time. Been playing about 4 years, hulk pilot, domi pilot mainly. Lived hi-low-null and wh for at least 6 months each, tried pvp and found it wasn't my cup of tea. If i want to kill somone i'll go play battlefield or COD. currently training to fly all sub capital gallente ships aswell as carrier / Dred then re-specing to even out and train 'relevant' skills. Was a member of PSPR in WI for some time and still have about 500mills worth of assets locked in UG.

I have a Southwest uk players chat room, 'Zider Drinkerz' come and join us for some lols. Planning a meet at some point too.

hmm favourite parts, thats a tricky one. I really like even fights, they dont happen often but are good when they do. I used to love blapping ships on a lowsec gate we used to camp in Ihakana all the time. Sniper apocs instapopping frigates/pods, we had remote sensor booster ships and could instalock stuff too. mmm I like moving my 6.2bil JF full of a few bils worth of stuff into 0.0 and busy station systems, you get a good rush out of that. Cynoed into a system the other day only to have a couple of dreads and four carriers drop in right ontop of me! I docked up safe and they even left my cyno alt alone. phew!

We caught a Tengu the other night, didn't have to probe him we just setup a bubble/drone catchnet and yoink! Animosity Killboard

Just getting back into mining as I have joined a friends corp in a WH (Not left my old corp - brought them with me) so now mining tasty ABC roids when I can, aprox 50mil an hour from last experience in a WH.

Gave up on mining a looong time ago, much easier to grind out lvl 4's and then just buy the minerals. Or I hired some miners for a while and let them use my orcas bonuses and hauler. I did really well outta that.

The pirate channels are currently full of giggling schoolgirls after quite a number of mission runners failed to read the patch notes. see: The Tuskers Kill details

After 7 years of eve I'm still a noob. and mining is for macro'ers tbh now. Belt ratting is almost more profitable.

I run 2 char's, main is an almost fully specd hulk and PVE pilot, 2nd (Vladamier Fang) is my support char (Orca, Oneiros, Noctis).

I am not mining as such but I am alwaysZeroHour on eve, complete noob though.

Thats if anyone else here is a miner . Me here with my hulk mining for my precious scordite and plagioclase Flexy Jerkov is my name

It depends - different chars do different things. My "main" hasn't undocked for nearly a year. My various alts do other stuff. Most fun though? Dogfighting in a rifter never gets old. Especially against cruisers.

Eve used to be all about "I'm a Pirate" or "I'm a miner" etc. But honestly I don't think you can play eve that way anymore without getting utterly bored of it all. Been playing eve, actively for 4 1/2 years, now a high-rank member of the biggest bunch of clowns in the game I live in 0.0, so I can make 60m an hour without trying, closer to 120m an hour if I go all pimped out. If I wasn't too busy with RL atm, I tend to pvp a fair bit, roams, pos bashing, the works. Also do T2 invention, Battleship production, trading, even a spot of mining if I need a specific resource.

Have only logged in to skill change the last 3 months or so due to FF XIII, Bioshock 2 etc... Logged on yesterday to find out were in about 8 wars lol. Psy

Also, Standings changes - A load of changes being made, to make standings easier to manage and more useful. An in game calendar - personal and corp/alliance event tracking and planning. EVE Gate (previously 'COSMOS' and 'New Eden' - this will be a web frontend for accessing game functions. So, sounds like it could be fun!

Browsing through the Dev Blogs, it seems the following is what we're getting in the new expansion: Rework of tech 1 loot dropping from NPCs, so as to make mining the main source of minerals again, and to allow them to increase in value. Inusrance is being changed, insurance payout will be tied to ship market value. They're also fixing the Tech 2/Tech 3 insurance problem of getting pittance for an expensive ship. Supercapitals are also being nerfed so instead of a 40% payout, they'll get between 1 and 10%. Deep space safe spots are being nerfed. Any items still outside 10AU of a system will be destroyed when the new expansion is launched. Planetary interaction - this feature intends to allow another industrial funding stream to players. To cut a long process short, this will be done by placing devices on a planet, which are used to gather resources.
