Making progress.

Anyways, the weekend was going prtty damn good as far as Im concerned. Removal of caldari space shit (PoSes) A totally lopsided fight after the pos went down by squids trying to save the pos, see here. And had a few good fights in the following hours. I played eve, to be honest, a lot more than I should have this weekend. And I think that I got nothing productive good compared to other weekends as well. Also, Im pretty much soely repsonsible for bringing the corp sucess ratio from 94 to 91 percent (I lost an eos to nothing but smartbombs, long story) and all 3 stabbers in the corp hangar. Now, the stabbers are no big deal since the corp already has 10 more being built, but to my suprise I didn't even blink when the eos went boom and all of my implants with it. I think as soon as I heard that the support fleet was being cut down right after I was wing warped, I knew what was coming. Anyway, thanks to the....as usual....lag in the essence/black rise region......I was dead before grid loaded.



Speaking of lag, its been terrible around here lately. We can barely have a 30v30 without the servers taking a shit in our lap.....seriously. Ive had fights back in GBC with 1400+ people where there was less lag than some of these, so yeah.....kind of annoying.





Aside from the lag and smartbomb blobs, I have been doing a bit of brainstorming as of lately:



Right now my corp produces tech 1 fit ships for corporate use. We have been making it very sucesfull, and IDK how much the corp wallet can take but It seems as though we can sustain ourselves for a while.

I am trying as hard as I can with this corp to create a place where PVPers can go, and can still PVP without having to earn any isk (because its a drag). I think this is how real corporations should be run in eve TBH. Maybe some more asset controls to make sure people dont run off with ships and stuff but it works as-is with cheap stuff. Im wondering if we could scale it up to more members, because Im sure if we could offer corp-issue battlecruisers and even battleships, many veteran PVPers would jump on the bandwagon in no time flat.

Either way, WiOD is making progress, and I hope the trend continues. We have done recruiting lately and have gotten 4-6 pretty new people that we are focusing on training at the current point in time. It seems as though we have gotten better people out of recruting from newer player pools than veteran players because newer people that you train and help equip seem to be a bit more loyal.


On a more personal note though, when I get home today I should be 3 hours away from Minnie cruiser V, and at that point ill be able to fly most minnie tech 2 ships, and I can't wait to get in a Huginn/rapier. Maybe its just that Ive been damn near killed by those ships for far to long, but either way it should be pretty fun, even in thier "post nerf" state.



There is also the possibility of starting up a gallente militia podcast which I should be particpating in, so that sounds pretty fun as well. Either way Ill have news later.
