matrixrefugeeDawned on me that I haven't posted much about my misadventures in EvE Online. While the game may not have captured my mind and heart the way MxO did (and still does, to some extent), I still manage to have a lot of crazy fun with it. Like last night, for instance: there's an gadget which you can use to salvage parts from enemy (NPC or PC) ships that you or someone else has shot to bits, to sell for surprisingly good money. Reminds me a lot of my dad and his old hobby of salvaging parts off old cars in junkyards.
Well, last night, I was running kill missions and salvaging away to my heart's content, when I somehow got my ship stuck inside a huge piece of debris. Couldn't get out for the life of me. Tried Anubis's suggestion of shooting my way out, and that didn't work, either. So I ended up having to post a petition... lo and behold, I was unstuck in about three minutes. One thing I like about EvE is the prompt customer service.
Also, I have a good time chuckling at the preposterous looking ships we have: my own ship looks so much like a hair drier that I named it "the Hair Drier". As my crazy friend "the Norseman" says, "That's definately a chick ship." Then just last night, I was warping out of a space station when someone zipped past me in what looked like a smushed red and blue Hot Wheels car. I kid you not!
