I write things occasionally. I try to make...conversation, I suppose? So many people seem so alone. I make space dust. Agh, I need a proper hobby....

Interacting at any great length with my crew. A few months ago, I would have been making an effort to eat with them and at least live close enough that conversations would arise. Bad idea. Bad for mental health. I could wax macabre about it for a while, but I think we all know the feeling. Anyways. I don't do that any more; I try to see whom I hire as little as possible.
Do you have any alts? How'd you meet and start working together?

I have a corp that I worked with before I became a capsuleer. They fund majority of my exploits and supply limited logistical support. Ships don't move themselves enmasse after all. Think that's what you mean, Neph.

Doing God's work, advancing a few research projects and getting the hell out of the quagmire of K-Space for a while. Occasional skirmish with various other Capsuleer entities to keep my edge sharp is a bonus.

I can answer this one actually, at least for one of my many friends. You see I have a nice Gallente associate who entered Minmatar space just about the time I was liberated. He was seeking his fortune making and selling items for the Minmatar republic and we met on a lonely space station in Teonusude. I was quite poor at the time and struggled just to keep my 1 single ship from falling apart. In fact it was so bad that I had to disable the capacitor every time I docked it, or it would burn out completely and need to be replaced.
My friend of course was in search of help keeping the Angels off his back while harvesting minerals. He had only himself to rely on for this at the time so he hired me and my rickety ship to protect him, he couldn't afford better, but he has yet to regret his choice. In exchange he makes new parts and ammo for me, and has since become a good friend. It took him little time to develop strong feelings toward slavery and has vowed to do all he can to help in the war effort against the Amarr. Even at the cost of being less wealthy than he could be if he went back to Gallente. His home is now in the Minmatar Republic and he affectionately refers to himself as "Gallentar"
Ok for a question, if you could splice 2 or more ships together purely for aesthetic quality, which would they be and why?

For aesthetics, but also for everything else. Orthrus and a Falcon. No regrets.
Quote:What do you define as success in life?
Contentment. Upholding honorable values. Fulfilling your role as to maximize your possible utility to society.
Going back to the Falthros, imagine the shape, the sleekness and the corners. The thrusters. The pointy bits. The endless salt in local.

Depends on the circumstances and the definition of 'wrongs'.
It's 'wrong' to kill, but killing the people that killed my father would probably be the most satisfying thing in the cluster, if I could ever find them. That'd make things right in my book.
Do you think we have been good caretakers for this cluster as the only known advanced sentient species? Rogue drones and the whole trans-post-whatever humanist Jove aside.

We're doing a fair-to-middling job at that much.

I don't aspire to "be like her," exactly; we're pretty different people, and anyway I don't think I'd be able to do my job if I were. It's hard for a light source to play a shadow's part. Mostly, I just trust her, and her judgment, and admire her a lot as a person. Also, I owe her, a lot.
I often wish I was more like her, though. Left to my own devices, there's a lot of trouble I'd probably get into. At least I've gotten okay at guessing what she'd want to see happen.
Maybe that's enough, for now.

No sir I did not, but I find it hard not to assume the worst of someone wearing so much gold. You have proven to be a nice enough person so I apologize if I offended.
My favorite part of being plugged into a ship is that it is like having guns for arms, fingers, hands, even ears if I concentrate carefully...
My least favorite is that it makes it difficult to drink a nice cold Quafe cola.

Surely you took biology as part of your capsule training? Caffeine and alcohol are both powerful diuretics, and in concert with alcohol's suppression of impulse control pertaining to consumption, can quickly produce dyseuphoric or even medically dangerous dehydration in a baseline physiognomy. That's short-term. Mid-term, such as after a night of sleep in which no hydrating fluids or supplementary vitamins are consumed to aid the processing of alcohol? Even worse. In short, it is counter-productive and perilous.
I am very, VERY sorry no one has already told you about that. Please be very careful when mixing your drugs, even if they are the sort that people don't usually worry about? I wouldn't like another reason to fuss about everyone.
What do you put in your hot drink of choice, and how common is that where you're from? I mean tea or coffee, mainly, but I'm sure there are others. |

Tea often, coffee rarely. For the most part, nothing in either, although different teas require different treatment. Many I drink straight. Some are best served with a bit of honey or aged snow elder, lupusberry, or fire persimmon. None I drink with cream. Ishukone tea culture possesses more of a bent towards greens, fruits, roots, and blended mixtures than the 50 variants of kresh you'll find in Wiyrkomi tea parlors. All the better; I have near no kresh immunity. Watch (and even more so, Watch Logistics) drinks a lot of straight black, but I've never been big on caffeine.
Coffee is always black but rich and nutty. The cheapass straight black furnace grease stuff you can buy for a pittance isn't worth drinking. I was raised that men drink with cream, women do not, and I've just never developed the taste for it.
You know, I've never thought about it before, but maybe that's just my clan? Is it more widespread? I've never thought to ask, just taken it for granted.

"What was the last thing you ate? Describe it."
A nice hot meal of steak, potatoes, whiskey, and chili. Wouldn't have been able to afford even that one meal if I hadn't made it good on my last expedition. 1 mil+ isk. not much but seeing as I just finished training, but it was great.
to describe the meal, think about a big, juicy, mouthwatering steak that some merchant's slave would kill to have. The whiskey smooth like water, and the chili, oh the chili was hot, but not too hot, just the way I like it.

Aside from local capsuleers, I think the most dangerous thing I've run into was an armed Sleeper site that unexpectedly went active and very hostile while I was trying to crack a data cache. I don't lose exploration frigates very often, but, I did, that day.
I know such places can be run safely. I'll have to see if I can find an account by someone who's managed it if I run into another. Only ... well. Doing such things might be contributing to our troubles with the Drifters.
So, maybe I won't.

Getting philosophical? I don't see much good in the world. Chaos reins supreme in all things, and nature is is the queen of such chaos. But to give you a straight answer: Water. For it's simplicity, but at the same time having such a complex need in life.
