I love that comic. In fact I'm a bit suspicious of corporations that don't subject potential applicants to an extensive application process. This game is way too brutal and it is far too easy to scam someone.
Internet spaceships drew me into this game. I've been into the sci-fi genre since I was small. I just like being in a space simulator. I'm actually not a huge pvper, but I do believe that this game is a pvp game so you need to do it. I probably didn't get my first kill in this game until like a year playing it. A friend in another corp asked me if I PVP and then use PVE to finance it or do I PVE and then PVP because I have isk. I have decided that I'm actually the latter. The funny thing though is that I'm space poor (what can I say, I like shiney ships). That is one reason I want to move out to null, I hope I can PVE so that I can support myself.
My family leaves me alone with my internet spaceships. It sometimes causes me friction between the wife and myself but we've come up with some compromises.
My silliest PVP lost. I had just joined SENEX. I didn't have a lot of ships in Wildlands yet, so a corp mate sold me a Dominix fitted with a micro-jump drive. I didn't want to feel like an idiot so I didn't mention that I couldn't use that module (I had just returned from EVE after a long break and the MJD had been introduced while I was away). So we go and try to defend a POS. That day earlier the corp and enemies had each lost about a dozen capital ships each on another POS so the CEO was out for blood. So the fleet I am on has capitals in it, including a Phoenix I think, flown by the CEO. We get to the POS, it is obvious that we are outgunned, so the CEO orders us to fire our MJDs and retreat. I meekly pipe up in comms - I can't use the MJD. Of course I lose the ship. The CEO also lost his Phoenix. I don't *think* I could be blamed for him losing the Phoenix, but I was sure I was kicked out of the corp. It was certainly brought up as a bone head moment, but it wasn't a big deal and I knew that this was how I wanted to PVP.
I like to sit back with beverages on a Friday night too. Usually its a craft beer of some sort. I am going to Seattle and Vancouver this January to visit a friend and I am trying to plan a craft brewery crawl. I'm mostly a beer drinker because I'm usually drinking alone and a bottle of wine might be a bit excessive... And I'm too real life poor to drink the hard stuff. So beer it is.
Light side - Reason, order and compassion. My light sabre colour is blue. Tea drinker (drinking loose leaf green right now). Medium well for my steak. And everything tastes better with cheese and bacon (sorry to any kosher members out there).
I was wondering, does the corp/alliance have an SRP program? Is the corp busier on weekdays or weekends?
Anyways, keep the questions coming Looking forward to meeting more members.
