rofflesausage State War Academy Caldari State 45	Posted - 2012.08.24 21:55:00 - [4] - Quote Home = ISK. Home is something I've never had much of a concept of in Eve. It's normally easier to sell ships and buy new ones at a different location than move loads of them. Nullsec changes hands a lot, so I've never felt at 'home' there. Certainly nothing like the trailers make out of fighting for your own bit of space. Strangely, wormholes are the nearest I've ever had to a 'home' due to the logistics involved and long term deployment in one hole.

Pasta OfDoom SrsBsnsIndeed 12	Posted - 2012.08.24 22:13:00 - [9] - Quote I spent some time in a wormhole and honestly I really felt like the POS was my 'home'. Now that I'm out and doing other things, I don't really feel like I have a home.

Jace Errata Lawlz Brawlz 256	Posted - 2012.08.24 22:29:00 - [13] - Quote I have a fair bit of crap, so wherever I move it, that becomes home for a while due to the effort involved in moving. I usually anchor one or two things, get to know the area, maybe set up some PI (that reminds me...), and that makes it feel more homely. Currently, home is Hjoramold. "Home" is one of the reasons I want corp-independent mini-POSes. I'd feel much more at home if I had my own built-up-over-time little shack out in deep space to keep my ****, instead of parking in an anonymous NPC station with twenty other pilots. Stealth OST puns and blatant lies since 2009 Jace Errata on Twitter One day they woke me up so I could live forever It's such a shame the same will never happen to you
TheBreadMuncher Boxxed Up Industries EPIC Alliance 216	Posted - 2012.08.24 22:35:00 - [14] - Quote Certain chat channels. Spaceships come and go but afternoons with TheButcherPete are priceless. "We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

Xearal Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance 374	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:14:00 - [21] - Quote 'Home' for me is the system where I've currently set up shop, put my spare ships, spare junk, my BPO library, etc. The different stations kinda like the different 'rooms' I guess. Though I still remember my old stomping grounds fondly, whenever I am in Hek, I just get all nostalgic about when I was a noob, running missions here, mining, then finding out about exploration, and starting up my ore and mineral trade, expanding t manufacturing.. Ohh good times... I learned a lot of the things I use today down there. Nowadays just with bigger numbers ;)
Selinate 962	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:17:00 - [22] - Quote It only really starts to feel like home once you've set up a POS or outpost in it IMO. When you're sitting in an NPC station anywhere, it never really feels like "home". This is one of the things I think could be worked on by the devs to make Eve much more... fluid. Some method of designating a home station or home system, if you will, in high sec where you can personalize your captain's quarters or hangar in general. That plus personal space stations that are basically larger captain's quarters where you can anchor up on your own and dock and such, but that might only be any good if they ever get WiS fully realized, where you might be able to install side-games and stuff in your station where you might be able to play for isk and such. Something like this would truly bring in a lot of subs also, I think, since this appeals to Eve for a LOT of people, and if you only allow one station per account, then I would think Eve would have more than enough room for all of them. Possibly not. I guess I can't accurately estimate how much space that would take. I would also like filthy strip clubs and bars realized in Eve, but I realize that will probably never come to fruition.
Brooks Puuntai Nomadic Asylum Still Censored 663	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:26:00 - [23] - Quote In all seriousness there was one location that I lived in years ago and to this day is the only place I've ever actually considered my home. It was the highsec pocket in Placid. I don't know why but I loved that area. Might have to go back.

Large Collidable Object morons. 1940	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:38:00 - [25] - Quote All in all, it depends on the character I play on - picked bookmarks as the common denominator because I tend to share them between alts. However, I must say it's probably the places I spent my most active times in and that would be Cloud Ring and Syndicate. Miss those golden Cry Havoc days. Haven't been there in quite a while, but my guess would be I still have the most bookmarks in that area. You know... morons.
John Rando Sigillum Militum Xpisti Fatal Ascension 1	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:43:00 - [26] - Quote Being in a 0.0 sov alliance I consider "home" whatever system our alliance is staging out of while deployed somewhere. Whenever we're not in a war then home is our main system in our territory. However, I've never had a real feeling for any particular system besides a class 5 wh system I was in for a few months before I even had 10mil SP and only 1 toon. I loved that shithole and the friendships it forged. The remote feeling and attachment is like no other. Now, the only home-like feeling I have is wherever my corp and alliance bros are at, so wherever they are at is home to me. In short what I am saying is that "home" to me is mainly the people you surround yourself with, because that is what makes this game enjoyable.
Mara Rinn Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 1784	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:45:00 - [27] - Quote Home is where you hang your hat. EVE has no hats yet, thus we have no home. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players
Vera Algaert Republic University Minmatar Republic 332	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:49:00 - [28] - Quote "Home" is for me the area where my main spent his first few months. It's a very boring and empty part of space and I would not want to live there today - but whenever I pass through I feel "at home" in a way that no other place in EVE can match. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid.
Greenmachine Sale Caldari Provisions Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:52:00 - [29] - Quote A home to me is having a friendly Ibis in my ship hanger which is quite easy to get now-a-days.
Kuring Irvam Nooblino Transports 0	Posted - 2012.08.24 23:57:00 - [30] - Quote Home for me is not some random chunk of space. Owned by either alliance or empire. I consider home to be my Corp chat channel. Where all my friends live no matter where they are in that vast emptiness of the Eve universe. It's the place that will always be there when I log in and out.
