    I have been meaning to update for quite a while however real life has got in the way of almost everything this past month. I went on vacation at the beginning of the month. Went camping for a week had a lot of fun hiked a bit and saw a bear(rawr!). We have had issues with mold in the place I was renting and asked the landlord to fix it and she went all insane on us, anyway that's over now and I am in a new apartment with less crazy so hopefully should be able to update more regularly and hopefully often that I have been.  >_<

    Sense I'm short on time at the moment I'm going to link you to Mintchip's EvE news video and an awesome song by Sindel Pellion titled Titan. Thats all for now later o/ .

              I started off eve mining and mission running, I still mine for my corp but its not something I do much alone due to the need of having a hauler move my ore to a station, frankly its a pain when you play at odd hours when no one else is on. With the planed update to the mining ships(bigger holds for ore) I could potentially mine on my own again and not need to go to the station every 5ish minutes. The new mining frigate is something that is needed badly the racial T1 frigates were lacking and just didn't cut it, this ship could make 0.0 mining in hostile space and possibly wormholes better. I am super excited about it! Also the planed adjustment to yields to all the ships to put them in line with the Hulk will make people getting into harvesting and industry a lot better as they train up.

                The alliance tournament started this past weekend, check out who's against who here, and tune in to watch it here. This year the prizes are sponsored by the Caldari State with a Osprey hull called the Etana which is a logistics ship with the added capacity to fit a covert ops cloak and is said to have powerful skill bonuses and a Merlin hull called Cambion that is a rocket ship with overheating bonuses. The ship graphics are still being designed so no screens yet. :(

                The Biggest news is the escalating war in Delve that's been going on for a little while now but has grown a lot with both sides numbering over 40 alliances and corps they have well over 50,000 characters that are now in delve raging war on one another. Test Alliance Please Ignore released a propaganda video claiming they came to Delve for good fights but were greeted with a massive force as well as the the Southern Coalition calming it started when Pandemic Legion launched a spy attack on Red Alliance and Nuked 9CG6-H. Whatever caused it dose not really matter, war is here!

    I have listed a few video's below for your viewing pleasure :D

I have two new guides! Low sec and Null sec guide on how to safely travel and what to expect when there and also a Guide on how to use the Directional scanner. If you find something that I have made an error on or that I have incorrect information feel free to let me know by emailing me on the about page or leaving a comment on the blog hope you enjoy the new guides. Also if you have any suggestions for something you would like to see let me know!

    On another note The new launcher seems not to work like it is supposed to, after the recent patch my desktop was able to patch through the launcher and work just fine but on my laptop something got screwy and now the whole client is fubared and possibly corrupted and even the repair tool can not fix it. Hopefully they will get the launcher working as intended soon, I do not like the idea of having to re instal the game every time there is an update for it. I am however excited about the new Amarr V3 skins and missile launchers in the upcoming expansion. With the change to the drones I might have to start mining more to make some nice isk!

That's all for now Kit's out.

PS: I like my sexy new hair style ^_^

 
    The 2012 fan-fest is over and there are a lot of cool things that were talked about on the various panels and presentations. Dust 514 coming out this year with some integration into eve is something that is very intriguing. The Orbital bombardment was stunning and enjoyable to watch. I really want to see how much the two games could interact with each other.

    Crucible was one of those much needed expansions one that works on the core game mechanics that had been left neglected for far too long, I would like to see more of this updating old outdated mechanics and fixing old features and problems with the game. I don't think they should just focus another expansion solely on this but it should be part of every expansion, keeping the game fresh with new things and updating old ones. The graphic improvements they are continuing to add to the game are just amazing as well. The Nvidia Demo was just insane! Made the visuals more realistic and stunning and would love to see this in eve in the future. Really like what the art team is doing with the rockets,  missiles,  launchers and redesigning some of the older ships, I fly stealth bombers and the new models from what I have seen look stunning cant wait!

With the walking in stations still being developed but with the idea of meaningful game play is something that I think eve dose need. We all know Incarna was a let down for those who really wanted to be able to explore a station and see other players and interact with them out of their ships. They did not go into to much detail about what  "meaningful game play" they were discussing however i am glad they are still doing development with this and I'll post more on what I think walking in stations could be like.

On the alliance panel


    Everyone is talking about what happen to the now former CSM Chair the Mittani, although I do think his remarks were out of line about the said player, he was not being a "cyber bully" and I do think the punishment was a bit severe. Some of the gaming media have taken this and made a smear campaign against him. Not only are they calling him a something he isn't but they  are using his real name and ether intentional or unintentionally smearing it and our beloved game and this makes me very unhappy with the gaming media. Things like this need to be stopped by us the gamers and those who support gamer media that are practicing this farce of journalism. We should not stand for 'journalists' who post rumors as fact and those who would copy and paste a story just for page views.
