There Is No Consent

Some believe that just by playing Eve Online, one consents to PvP.  I could only find two documents that one has to accept that would prevent you from playing the game, those are the EUL and the TOS.  No where could I find a statement that even resembled consenting to participating in PvP.  So if a player undocks his ship he hasn't consented to anything that involves your entertainment.

PvE, You've All Done It

I have played many games throughout my life.  The most memorable ones tell a story, and provide a new world that you get to experience through the characters of the game.  They provide interesting things to accomplish and test your skills in a variety of ways.  The same game mechanic can be used over and over but people will play the game just because it provides a different narration. 

Signals in the Void, 2

("Signals in the Void" is my attempt at an in character fan fiction revolving around my adventures in exploration.)

Captain Erhan closed his connection with the capsuleer Draiv Solregard and opened comms to where they had their crew stationed.  Listing off several groups of people who were to make their way to the hanger and prep the cruiser class Arbitrator for flight.  Turning to another part of the console he brought up a three dimensional image of the cruiser which Draiv had requested to be modified.  He began going through the current fitting and started to make the necessary changes.  As he worked to make sure the ship's processor and power grid could handle the installation of new systems he periodically checked the progress of the crew to make sure things stayed on task. 

The Odyssey Changes, Part 4

After spending so much time over the weekend trying out features specific to exploration.  There were a few other features that you just can't avoid.  Several of which I had disdain for, even before I had tried them.  Starting out I hated them just as much as I thought I would.  Strangely enough the radial menu that is being introduced in Odyssey started to grow on me after several hours.

Odyssey Hacking Playthrough

I'm going to go through the motions and do a play-through of the new hacking mini-game.  My thoughts on the subject are in another post.  As such I will try to keep my annoyances to a minimum.  Let's begin!
