Not really new, but new to Backstage
« on: 31 Mar 2012, 19:47 »

Hi folks!

So just to get this out of the way, I've played Eve off and on for a long time...however I've always done so EXTREMELY casually (I love the scifi spaceships so I would log on, fly around, look at stuff, read stuff, and do level 1 missions lol). So, despite the game age of my character I don't consider myself an expert on gameplay, and am only recently getting a strong grasp on defining roles by module as well as the fifty billion different stats at work. I enjoy the smaller ships, so even with level 2 missions I still scope out whether or not I can pull it off with a frigate instead of resorting to my destroyer or cruiser lol

Nonetheless, while Eve has always felt a little overwhelming for me, I happen to love the sandbox approach...but who knows? I might love it much less if I left high-sec space all by my lonesome lol

On the role-playing side, I haven't roleplayed much within an MMO. Outside of an MMO I have years of experience writing on roleplay/storyboards for over a decade. I enjoy infusing plots and purpose into any interaction, and I'm a sucker for story lines and real characterization. I think I'm on the same boat with many latent RPers on Eve: we're waiting for station walking!  :bash: Nonetheless, until then I'm content with writing fiction, learning more and more about the Eve setting, and looking out for the right kind of RP corp (as few and far as they may be).

Character wise, I don't have a complete direction for my character, whether I want him to be the military type, or a freelancer or contracted employee of an in-character corporation. Still sorting that out, but would love to network with other RPers. Drop me a line anytime, here or in game (character's name is Strave Abre-Kai, Gallente, Jin-Mei, Jing Ko caste). Looking forward to the future, getting better and better with Eve, and to getting to know everyone!   :D

Now if only CCP will let us leave our captain's quarters...

Well, regardless of your preferred level of gameplay, welcome!

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

I don't get it; how are you going to defend yourself with Elmer's Glue, or get high off a rape whistle?

Welcome! You might consider assault frigates, I've had great fun running level 3 missions and even some 4s in them.

It's a hired-out body-guard. Any attempted rape will be handled at gun-point :twisted:

Ishkur-run level3's... that was fun, actually. Ishkurs running level 4's is a considerable challenge, but can actually be fun too.
