Quote:What was your funniest mistake as a novice capsuleer?
This one's terribly embarrassing and turned many a wary eye at me. Just graduated from PTS not a week prior, and I decided I'd earned enough running missions to head back to Caldari lowsec to fight for the State (insert war-era propaganda march melody) Still shaky with the neocom, though, and I applied and was accepted to Ascending Angels. A Galmil corp. Oops.
EDIT: as soon as I realized my mistake and managed to get into Calmil, I didn't want to drag my cache of T1 frigs to Lonetrek, so I undocked all my ships and abandoned them, figuring somebody else could grab and keep them. Later I found out the Matari facpo were popping them as fast as I was leaving them, and yes, it generated public killmails. Sorry, new corp.
Anyways. What's your favorite corporate livery?

Seeing as this was aimed at me, I think, I'll take the chance and answer directly:
Dumplings.
A friend making food for you, or you doing it for them, even if it'd be faster or easier to order for it or have your staff cook it, especially if it's something as ridiculous as those seared, steamed dumplings you could get by the dozens on basically any station in New Eden.
It's not as often as I'd like, but there've been nights where I've dismissed my staff expressly so that I could badly cook for a friend, and we've absolutely destroyed a kitchen in our feeble efforts to make a proper dinner for ourselves.
It's wonderful.
It connects me with what used to be, for me, and for humanity.
In turn, what's your next destination?

No.
You'd lose the very thing that'd make each repeat of a given experience interesting in its own right, the slight variations of how it ends up going that make it unique.
That and memories never ever make up for actually doing something.
What ultimately keeps making you tick, what keeps you going and stops you from just giving up all together?

Years ago, when I was in Anshar, very shortly after the refits to the T1 logistics cruisers came through, we threw together a fleet to try them out - some light and medium armor, and a trio of Augurors, with me flying one because I was spec'd for one more or less by chance.
Three minutes out the gate, we ended up smack dab in the middle of a three-way fight between miltia and pirates in a medium complex somewhere, outnumbered something crazy like three to one. We fought near non stop for half an hour straight, with only brief pauses for frantic looting for ammo and nanite paste, hasty repairs, and regrouping. Two more groups came in and were ground up.
Then, some quiet, and Milo calls, "Okay, that was intense. I think we should gather everyone up for a bit. Is anyone down?"
Silence.
"Is anyone down."
Then, the most gratifying half-laugh ever. "I guess not!"
And, winds. I'm just going to ask the same question again, basically. Tell me about your proudest moment.

my proudest moment was when I made my first successful exploration run. wasn't a lot of loot, and i think I mentioned this earlier, but I made around 1 mil isk. took me forever to find that one data site. I was glad I earned the isk. I'm sure better moments will come around though.
what was the dumbest purchase you've made?

Threw away 1b isk in Jita somehow. Don't even remember how, but I think it was a contract for a supposedly 1m isk Svipul that was off by a zero or three. Lesson learned.
Where'd you get the money for the capsuleer program? I guess this only applies to egger pre-Alpha era.

Diana Kim wrote:What ship do you hate the most?
To fly? The Basilisk. It's slow. It turns badly. The target signature's huge. It doesn't tend to bring anything significant to the table for that horrible speed and bloated sig, compared to the Scimitar. Yes, if it's fitted with an afterburner, it can either have an additional shield repper or a utility ETA, but if you're fitting a Basilisk with an afterburner, you're an idiot who deserves to be chased down by tackling battleships, because you won't outrun a damned Abaddon. Even with a microwarp drive, you're cripplingly slow. It's one of, if not the only Tech II cruiser hull I can think of that can't outperform its basic version in terms of sheer maneuverability. And it's a shame, because other than its navigational profile, it's a very solid ship, but that one flaw really sinks it. If the State could re-engineer it to accept a third low-power system, it'd be immensely improved.

Though it's never the intention to fight them, the Drifters are a consistent opposing force to our operations - if they didn't attack first, we'd just leave them be. All the same, however, in conflict with them, their perfect synchronization and unshaken ambition for whatever their end goal is shows through as a defining trait of their faction. If it's a product of them simply being controlled AI, that's less impressive; but I'm of the belief that they're a little more than that. If that's the case, and they do have individual personas, then their dedication to their cause and their dauntless attitude in doing so is something to be admired; whatever their true intentions are, I've got to give them that.

I don't feel any, or almost none. I have a little more insulation from permanent death, but my time before that permanent death isn't so different from anyone outside a capsule. I sleep, I eat, I feel awful that I haven't mined or written a letter to someone I love, I think about what to have for dinner, I take a shower, I hire someone, I try to do something with my hair, I send money to my parents.
At some point in the parade of workaday things I might find myself doing something amazing. Meditating in the clear light of the Eve Gate, maybe, or watching a bad movie with someone who owns the planet I'm standing on.
I don't think those things make me less a baseliner. They make me a very fortunate baseliner. We are all still of one flesh, God save us all.

... that ... probably sounds a little glib, but I really mean it.
Memories are these flighty, ephemeral things, and I of course know how possible it is to lose them. At the same time, though, they're more durable than a lot of physical goods. They kind of follow me around, and they can't really be carelessly mislaid or sold. They also don't take up very many packing crates. They'll all disappear when I die, of course, but, after that, I won't have any use for physical objects, either.
I try to remember the places I go, the people I meet. I don't need much, besides that.
