Updates and rocks

The other day I logged on to do my PI in the hole only to come to the conclusion that I couldn’t undock my Epithal. Turns out I was not allowed to have 3 warp stabs in it.


Now, I tend to live under a rock when it comes to eve online updates. I don’t really look at them unless people point them out to me, and it has been ages since I had been on /r/eve.


Turns out that if I had actually looked at things, I would have known what was going on.
As most of you know there have been a few changes to both nullified ships and stabs and such. These are no longer passive things but need to be activated.


I personally am not sure if I like the change. Am I affected by it? Not much I guess, I usually use an interceptor for travel but that is about it. The stabs on my Epithal are there just in case anyone does catch me in the odd hours I do PI and even if they do it is not like they will be getting much out of it.


However I do know that this is a HUGE change, and not really for the better. At least not for those that PvP. I have heard that null sec ratters love it though. And I can’t really blame them.


With the active module you are not as quick as you used to be, you can still go gate to gate but if you’re out hunting, time is of the essence. The fact that you now have a timer that may or may not fuck up your next system you’re going through. That just makes it even easier for the ratters you are trying to catch.
And some of those are quick as they are, especially with local automated alerts and such.

I hope that CCP and I guess Pearl Abyss know what they’re doing because this has annoyed a huge part of the player base.
Although with how fast this was put out there, I feel like they may have dropped the ball on this.
Time will tell.


For now I have changed my scanning Tengu and gave him an active nullifier. It’s not like I am using it much since I am still abroad.

We caught this pretty thing last week


Stay tuned o7

Wolves have a nasty bite

The problem about going on a bit of a holiday is that you forget about the things you are supposed to be doing. Or at least some of the things you were planning to write about.


The past few weeks I have joined in a few very fun roams with the rest of the corporation. All through our null static of course.
About a week ago I joined in on a new fleet they decided on which was to fly with Wolves instead of Nergals. Obviously because it is a cheaper option and it could be fun, despite losing out on a bunch of DPS.


As it happens we came into Brave space and caught an orca and some miners. It escalated from there. I am not sure how since I got there a bit late but by the time I was there they had a Fax on the field and we were keeping it tackled.


All the while they just kept flying more stuff in in order to try and get us off of their fax.


I had a lot of fun with that one, survived despite my own little fuckup.
They were mostly flying Caracals, which have a bit of an advantage if you fly em correctly. We were also on grid with a citadel at that point. Due to us free flying I got a bit side tracked and when we were told to fly back to the Fax we had tackled, I accidentally flew towards a fax that was tethered on their citadel.


Now, the Wolf is a fast ship, but I was alone there versus about 10 people, a Stiletto was able to get tackle on me and if not for the fact that I was able to quickly shoot him and slingshot away, I would have lost my ship and my pod there. But I did not.


By the end of the night I had about 66 new kills on my killboard and 0 deaths. Good fun!


Later today we are doing a new wolf roam, I am quite looking forward to it.
