Somewhat cool new investment option

You mean like the last one which turned into a multibillion ISK scam?

I'll pass thanks as I regard the majority of eve'ers to be evil bastards these days, which is one of the reasons I left the game.

Actually the last one was BMBE, and they're still paying out dividens afaik

But no, I take your point. Could be a scam, so could most IPOs, but I've got a gut feeling about this one.

And wuh, you left eve? I missed that

To be fair the Eve Central Bank scam was a very long time ago in game terms. There have been hundreds of IPOs and Bond options since then, the vast majority of which are very successful. Not to mention that the big investors have become very canny at spotting potential scam artists and ripping them apart on Eve-O. But you're right insofar as anyone who considers any investment in a third party should do some thorough checking before hand.

You're also wrong. All Evers are evil bastards. It's in our nature. You have to be to reconcile blowing up shit that someone has taken weeks putting together

Fair points, but unless I had a cash printer I'd be extremely wary.

And, I know Eve'ers are evil bastards, but they never used to be heartless evil bastards like they are now.

Pirates used to be pirates and properly ransom you, now they'll just kill for fat lewt.

I miss Cold War and Exodus, the game was much more fun for me then, especially when most people were running around in t1/named fitted ships

Hehe, there I can agree. Bring back the days of being able to solo in a T1 fitted cruiser!

Would be sweet running with the Cold war era ships/skills, but throw in freighters only with the current POS fuctions to make life easy. Fuck all these caps/supercaps that really are replacing BS now

'sactly.

Freighters = win because they're so balanced, yes, alot of health, but slow and need to be escorted.

Dreads are acceptable as they have trouble hitting anything that's not a POS and POS sieges DID get really silly at one point. Plus if Carriers/Mom's wern't around, they'd have no use outside of POS sieges at all.

Carriers, Mom's and especially Titans should never have made it into the game especially being as cheap as they are imo.
Titans when they came out especially, I mean, remote system nukes? Which twat thought that up at CCP.
