The OTHER New Project

First, a note on the latest Eve Dev blog posts in regards to industry:  <insert little-girl-getting-a-pony-squeal here>

Although I am not happy that the POS assembly lines are being pushed back attention-wise, and I am a little wary about how manufacturing in systems without any stations/outposts will work (Will we still have teams?  Will it become cheaper to manufacture in a cluttered high sec system with -50% costs due to station bonuses?), I still think it is an overall positive change.  The UI and usability cleanup alone is amazing; as a newer player, I have had many arguments with the industry UI, trying to bully it into doing what I want.  This will be great.

And now, the 'screw industry, GIVE ME BLOOD' berserker Karen demands I stop talking about lame stuff and move on to the other new project I have started.

I spent all day at work yesterday checking my phone, watching for notifications that my POS might be under attack.  I was up until 3 AM in the morning Sunday night/Monday morning, setting up a new large Amarr control tower and anchoring/onlining defenses.  I got maybe a third of the things I wanted up and online before I crashed due to exhaustion, and although I didn't have anything inside the bubble aside from an (empty) tayra, the tower, and the hardeners (YES HARDENERS GO *INSIDE* THE BUBBLE) I still worried.

Last night, I got the rest of the defenses online and the bare necessities of storage put up.  If you glance at the 'About the author' box in the top left corner, you will see that I moved out of Sin Factory's C5 wormhole; I am now the CEO of a new w-space corporation, Anarchist Asylum, based out of a C2.

I love w-space.  I am passionate about it.  I want to spread Bob's blessings to many people, new players in particular; at the moment I have about a dozen newer players in corp, with half a dozen of them highly active. :)  I will also freely admit that a couple of them were sniped from the 'holy god brand new player' (as one put it) help channel, selected for inquisitiveness about PvP and wormholes.  I'm getting them trained up, and trying to instill a Proper Wormholer Attitude in my trainees - we will give no mercy, no fucks, and all of the fights we can.

Anyway, still a little administrative work to take care of tonight, assigning titles and roles now that I know I have it done right, and then to secure the POS fuel for the rest of the month... and then some hopefully fun and hilarious cruiser/frigate roams.

If you have a nice cruiser gang fit you feel like sharing, look me up in game.  We're experimenting with stuff. :D

See you in space, cowboys.
