Sins of a Solar Spymaster #11 - EVE and Loathing in Las Vegas

[Cody Bye]

During the last few months, Ten Ton Hammer patrons have read about the Mittani's entertaining antics throughout the galaxies in EVE Online. His actions in-game are often elusive and tainted with deception, but what about his real world persona? This week, we get a taste of the "real" Mittani as he regales us with his recount of the first EVE Vegas conference. Was it all spaceships? Or were there strippers involved? Keep reading to find out!

Attempting to break out of the clique I had arrived with, I noticed a table full of goons hanging out with Avalloc. I approached, announced something like "And who do we have here?" only to discover that I'd blundered into the developers - Oveur, Alli, Soundwave, Navigator and the 'Mystery Dev', an as-yet-unrevealed CCP employee on the game design team. As my jaw dropped, I recognized the Mystery Dev as my old bete noir Seleene, infamous former leader of the Mercenary Coalition and for many years a staunch foe of the Swarm. I had staggered onto my first source of spaceship words, and found it extremely awkward.

Methnaught! Genius!

Another interesting read, and your idea actually sounds fairly cool.

Maybe some of these low-sec drugs could, idk, allow the user to fold space and create a wormhole, bypassing the entire gate-chokepoint system.

Then some players could form a spacing guild, their eyes would turn blue, there could be giant worms...

Great article and you offer a lot of fascinating ideas for buffing low sec. For most of us pirates, freedom to do whatever whenever is a key philosophy of our chosen lifestyle. Any low sec changes that directly relate to us would hopefully recognize and honor that.

I don't want to sound bitter but maybe instead of CCP looking for new ways to fix lowsec they should start giving a damn about factional warfare first.
They could even add pirate factions as a side in FW as well, if system occupancy actually did anything.

I know I'm a bit late, but I would play the hell out of this were it to become a full-fledged expansion. Good article, Mittani. I like the cut of your jibe.
