Yeah, its late again, my head has been up my arse since Friday night/Saturday Morning. Jagerbombs and staying awake till 6am arguing with drunk people about whether clinical depression is real or not (I was on the real side) are things best left to a younger man I think.
Anyway, on with the breakdown…
As you may be aware I’m trying to organise a little get together of the Tweetfleet in Reykjavik around Fanfest. If you weren’t aware and are going to be in Reykjavik for Fanfest 2012 you should seriously come along. Fire me a tweet (@mandrill) or an email (webmandrillATgmailDOTcom) and let me know you’re coming. (I have a list). Hit the jump for a time.

Yes, its late. I’m sorry. I had a busy weekend away from home and my Dad’s PC is like painting with treacle (He never uninstalls anything!) Onward!
From this month’s banter e-mail:
This month’s Blog Banter comes from Drackarn of Sand, Cider and Spaceships. He has foolishly chosen to poke the hornet’s nest that is the non-consensual PvP debate. Whilst you read his question, I’ll be finding a safe place to hide.
“A quick view of the Eve Online forums can always find someone complaining about being suicide ganked, whining about some scam they fell for or other such tears. With the Goons’ Ice Interdiction claiming a vast amount of mining ships, there were calls for an “opt out of PvP” option.
Should this happen? Should people be able to opt-out of PvP in Eve Online. Should CONCORD prevent crime rather than just handing out justice after the event? Or do the hi-sec population already have too much protection from the scum and villainy that inhabits the game?“
I’ve been out of the bantering game for a while lets see if I remember how…
Another week, another Breakdown. With Crucible 1.1 on the horizon and the minutes dropped on Monday, I’m beginning to remember how much work this blogging lark is. I’ve also been slightly sidetracked by Star Trek Online going free to play a couple of days ago, I participated in the open beta and was suitably impressed (not impressed enough to sub though) with a variety of aspect of the gameplay and the familiarity of the setting that I’ve signed up for a free account. If you play and want to look me up (when I’m not playing EVE Online or Skyrim) I’m Mandrill, Captain of the USS Giskard.
But, we have no interest in Gene Roddenberry’s internet spaceships here. We’re all about the real internet spaceships on this blog. Onward with the breakdown…

Yes, The Dev Blog Breakdown is back. That weekly post where I dissect and analyze the Dev Blogs released over the last week. Now I realise that I’ve been away for a while and for that I apologise, life took a bit of a turn after last year’s Fanfest and the intervening year has been spent sorting it out. It would seem I’ve reached a stable baseline to restart from in terms of personal situation and EVE seems to have been given a bit of a reboot as well.
Lets make a start shall we?
Merry Christmas all. I hope you all got what you wanted. For my part I got my flights to Iceland for Fanfest in March.
This means that one of the many things needed for my trip to Iceland is sorted and now I have to organise myself in order to have Fanfest tickets and spending money. The first is a case of resubbing both my accounts ans selling all my stuff in order to get the PLEX for FF tickets. This might present a small problem. So here’s what I’m planning to do:
Yesterday was a bad day. I’m still reeling so this post might not be all that coherent.
So, its finally happened. The head honcho of CCP, Hilmar Veigar Petursson, has responded to the disastrous events of the last 6 months. Here’s my take on it:
