Quick Overviews

With Retribution here and a few weeks to have fun messing with ships and fittings, I really like the rebalanced cruisers, especially the t1 logi's. As Jester point out for a few fittings, the Arbitrator and Omen are both pretty awesome ships, more than they used to be. I hate the safety switch, but the timers and sounds when things are expired or running low are handy for when I'm tabbed out. Overall, a good expansion, IMO.

And Christmas presents. This year, they are mostly just collectible items, with a faction skinned scanning ship for each race. I got the Imicus and Magnate versions for my two characters, along with a pair of Genolution implants between both of them. Not bad, but all my clones already have genolution implants, and I have a stash ready for when I lose my pod again. So, one more set, yay! I will probably end up stashing the ships away until they either increase in prices and sell, or just keep forever.

Overall, I feel the gifts this year really suck. Last year, we had options of fuel block blueprints, ammo, ships, skill books and a few other items. Even a remap was an option. Speaking of remap, I was planning on that remap. Kind of like a Christmas bonus check that never came, I'm pretty pissed off about it. I remapped in September when it became available to train 3 or 4 months of Leadership skills, planning to use this years remap to change to Perc/Will for the next year or two training gunnery, missiles, and spaceship command skills. Doesn't seem like its happening yet, even after being told "No, there is nothing we can do for you" through the petition system.

Consider me the Scrooge or Grinch this year. Bah, humbug!

Lots of Angry People

And I mean this literally: I stole the corp. I was promoted to director, as I think I may have mentioned before. Well, the prior, mostly inactive CEO had not take at least 51% of the shares owned by the corp. So I took them all. After a bit of boredom due to neutral ratters, I (along with most of the corp) voted to make me the new CEO. Of course, this whole thing has been developing for awhile now, with me working on building my awesome charisma skills.

Goings Ons

Been a bit since last post, but that's nothing new to my blog; no matter how much I try to change it. Anyhow, just a small update on the latest and greatest events of my corp and alliance.

Phantasm vs Vengeance

So there I was....Sitting in Heild, with no more combat ships available in the station. I was almost done clearing out my stash in Heild, except my corpse cooler. I havent decided what Im gonna do with that thing. Pulling up my assets window, I check nearby systems for ships....Anathema, Bestower, unfit punisher. And then...There it was; like a shining light at the end of the tunnel.

The Phantasm.

The Return of r1fta!

Memories of Heild haunt my dreams. Going on a roam once in awhile with several rebels, or shooting them as I happened to do infrequently, or even just sitting in Pinky Pie's Bar sharing stories of combat. All good times. And now, I jump cloned back to Heild for some fights with Inappropriate Content, Naughty Cargo and Tavisturus. Good times indeed!

ISK Comparison, Minus the Charts

Things have been kinda busy for me, both IRL and in New Eden. As some may or may not know, Ive moved out to nullsec. I joined Suicides-R-Us [DIII]. Interesting corp name I thought to myself when the recruiter contacted me. Anyhow, Ive been busy. I was reading over on Mabrick's Mumblings his accounting thing for the last two months. I didnt bother messing with his images that were difficult to read because I was too lazy to do the extra clicks to read them. However, at the end, his two month profit for a c3 wormhole was kinda shocking to me. Almost 800 million ISK he's made. In two months. To me, that isnt alot, but then again, Ive never lived in a wormhole.

Leadership

What does it mean to be a leader? Or more specifically, what do you look for in a leader? What qualities do you look for in a person that makes you want to follow through thick and thin? Loyalty, why are you loyal to a person?
