This is true. Hisec pirating can be difficult unless you can afford to fix your status regularly.
I fly through hisec @ -9.9, I just fly damn fast
As one gets deeper into this game, it's a good idea to have a trade alt stationed in Jita to buy stuff. You can use a service like Red Frog to move things around Empire relatively cheap.
Sent you a mail Fiskie, don't know if we will be able to play together due to my current circumstances, but will try not to shoot you if we cross paths.
Pretty big fight last night lasted about 8 hours or so.
There is a war in the South, between N3 (+NC +PL +HONOR) and the Russians + Black Legion with the CFC 3-waying.
Last night, there was a shield timer on an N3 station in KW-I6T. The Russians arrived to push the timer to armor, but PL dropped carriers on the station.
Black Legion escalated to Dreadnoughts, and then NC dropped a ton of Titans, and blapped like 30 of the BL Dreads.
One N3 Titan was well off station, and being bumped, but the server node was dying as there was close to 3,000 people in system (and mostly on grid) at once. After a live server restart, the CFC dropped 400 more nerds in the system and crashed the node, allowing the trapped Titan to log off and stay logged off.
The Titan's (approx. $3,000 USD) only other way to survive would have been to last until downtime, which was another 7 hours. It was possible, but that's a long time and a lot can happen in 7 hours.
After the capitals didn't login after the server reboot, the Russian subcaps reinforced the station to the final timer (armor) and killed the iHub.

1.05 full brackets turned on so that all the drones and fighters on the field can be seen.
1.27 you can see reinforcements land for the Russian faction
1.57 full brackets on again
2.21 Titans cyno (teleport) onto the field
3.22 The Titans' Doomsdays start landing on enemy Dreads (Doomsday = killshot with super long cycle time)
This is a most beautiful game.

This war is only 3 days old, and already some epic battles.

Sandbox MMO.
Almost all of the content is player driven. Players build almost everything in the game, control large sections of space, create their own political allegiances outside the game, etc.

Well, you can play it for 2 hours daily or 2 hours weekly, the advantage or disadvantage is only in your head since there is no power leveling aspect. You can just buy $40 worth of gametime monthly and have about 100 fitted frigates to fly into pvp
What Fixie said.
The way the leveling is, you don't have to grind progress, and you can basically buy into the economy with cash, so you could play as much as you play any other game.
Of course if you have political aspirations, throw that all out the window.
RA just entered this winter's war, all of the Russians are united once again except Legion of Death.
Make sure you put a long skill in your queue just in case they fuck that up again.
I am going to make a killing buying those personal deployable hangars and being first to market with them in the southern warzone.

I have never played Eve myself but whenever I see a new story posted about it, I always read it. I remember reading some crazy in-depth posts about how some large scale fights came about. It's so much more interesting to read about than someone /gquit'ing a guild after not pulling his weight in a raid and everyone shit talking him through PM's.
I'm so intrigued by the politics of the game and the kind of shit that goes down, all based upon actual happenings between players. The stories all sound as if they were written as the plot for the game, yet it's really collective chaos the game thrives on.
Also, Valkyrie looks amazing. I'd get in on that.

There are tales of corporate espionage that take months/years to execute. It's heartwarming almost.
It's beautiful, really. Unless you're the one who lost a Titan or a gank of kredits, then, well, the barrel of a gun is tasting pretty sweet right about now.
It's not chaos. It's anarchy. Natural order.
It's amazing to see people self organize, build tools, construct relationships, trust etc from scratch.
This just came in. Darkness of Despair lost a Leviathan to Nulli Secunda. Apparently it was a trap, baited by Nulli, one day after N3 baited a Nyx kill.
Andi279 lost a Leviathan (Titan) in KR8-27 - Omist (0.0)
The values are off. That Leviathan loss was probably close to $3,000 USD.
