So yeah, I never poast anymore. Sue me. Lately I have been ramping up T2 production on an alt (no I will not tell you which mods, do the maths yourself), and skilling Marauders on my main.

I have also been trying out lowsec exploration in Black Rise using my Tengu. This will spawn a rant later about the directional scanner UI as it pertains to filters and probes. You all know what I am talking about.

Other then that; lived in a class 4 wormhole for awhile, and some scattered PVP shenanigans. I might not actually be a bad anymore. \o/

Guess who is going slumming?

I’ll be able to fly a Tengu in about 4 days. Let the silly commence! I’ll post again when I get a change to try it out.

Ran some preliminary numbers in EFT, and even without the subsystem skills trained yet, it out tanks my Drake and my Raven by no less then 30%!

Just wanted to give a heads up about the gallery I threw up for Champions Online. I have been playing it quite a bit, and will run down my thoughts on it this week some time, for now just enjoy the pics!

I have never heard of this game until now, which is great since I don’t have long to wait for release day (October 20).

Anyway check out the trailer. Bad. Ass.

I got to imagine working on this game would have been fun, it might go something like this:

Lead Designer: Ok team, round table, what can we do to make this game even more over the top and absurd?

Animator #1: We can add um.. GIANT REPTILE DOG… things…

Animator #2: YEAH! And we can have them be on fire!

Lead Designer: Awesome! Who *doesn’t* like fire?! Nice synergy there. *takes notes*

Mad props for the DJ Champion tune “No Heaven”. Sold.

Apocrypha 1.5 is being deployed today, which is to say all day. Jokes aside it promises some nice improvements after they finish their “QA Cycle”.

I think they need to train Jury Rigging V over at CCP…

Update: lawl

Update #2: Apocrypha 1.5 FAIL.

I <3 my corporation…

Finaly got around to checking out CCP’s Butterfly Effect video. While I think that they may be overstating the action/reaction elements of the game a little bit, it is a cool video none the less. For one thing, no random guy no matter how helpful is going to get invited to a huge fleet op. Nor would he get that far into unfriendly nullsec to even be in a position to help.

Like I said, cool anyway. Check it out.

This is sort of addendum to my previous post, I had a lot of negative feedback on using capacitor flux coils on the setup. I think most of the confusion revolved around flux coils being confused with capacitor power relays. Both modules have bonuses to to capacitor recharge, but relays have a shield boost drawback, which is counter productive on a active shield tank. Flux coils have a maximum capacitor capacity drawback, which is offset with positive gain to peak capacitor regeneration rate.
