Death Race 2010 Declared a Success!

“Unofficial” Press Secretary Report

Tasha Aramata – 2010.08.24

SIRadio would like to congratulate Bryan Ward aka Rixx Javix the author of the EVEOGANDA Blog for the creation and successful running of the Death Race!!! We hope it is just the first of many Death Races that will occur in the EVE universe.

By all accounts the event went off “without a hitch.”  Sixty of the seventy five racers entered made it to the starting system of Assah, and raced through the heart of Providence.  In the end it was Persephone Astrid that took the checkered flag, and will be forever known as the first winner of the DEATH RACE (2010)!

You can find final results and race information here.

Thanks for tuning in…

Astrometrics Skills V

Finally!!!

Astrometrics V

Astrometric Acquisition V

Astrometric Pinpointing V

Astrometrics Rangefinding V

And thanks to my corpmate Tal Istrom, I am the proud owner of a Poteque Pharmaceutical ‘Prospector’ PPG-2 Implant.  That leaves me the Poteque Pharmaceutical ‘Prospector’ PPH-2 and the Low-Grade Virtue Set to complete my quest for Epic Level scanning skills!

A quick check of contracts shows complete Low-Grade Virtue sets listed between 2.9 & 3.0 billion.  That’s right billion!!!  So this goal is gonna take me a bit longer than expected.

But what else is do I got to make iskies for?

So what has this gotten me so far?  Well flying my Legion setup for probing (Emergent Locus Analyzer & 2 Medium Gravity Capacitor Upgrades) grants me with Sister Combat Scanner Probe strength of 62 & Sister Core Probe strength of 125 with no implants.

Why do so much for so little gain?  Because I can!  This is my sandbox experience… go build your own castle.

Fly Safe…. Stay Profitable…

SIRadio to Open Doors to New Member Recruitment

“Unofficial” Press Secretary Report

Tasha Aramata – 2101.08.19

I am pleased to announce that SIRadio shall be opening it’s doors to new member recruitment come September 2010.

Exact details of any requirements for future applicants have not been made available at this time.  However, current rumors are that the SIRadio leadership will be seeking EU & EST & PST friendly pilots, that drink beer (exceptions have been made for bourbon and scotch drinkers), and are fans of the Planet Risk Show Podcast.  Not that Quivering Palm or Luminus Aardokay are seeking ass kissers…  well actually they are… But if you can’t stand listening to those two for a three hours, how are you going to deal with Estar Tarns on vent?

Expectations are that Agatir Solenth shall lead up the recruitment drive, and will be blogging about the specifics sometime in early September.

This will all tie-in with the show’s second season, also planned for Sept 2010 with some fresh ideas and format – so for now stay tuned!

Summer Update From Providence

SI Radio Member Report :  Summer Update From Providence – 2010.08.15

Greetings my fellow corp men and women & blog readers!!!

By some of the complaining I’ve read, not a lot of folks have anything new going on during the summer months, but I can tell you from my perspective… a lot is happening.

To begin with, our little pocket of space in Providence has gotten a bit “smaller.”  Noir. has sold one of the systems to Luminance Alliance.  I logged in earlier this week to find a number of neutrals in my local window.  Luckily it was due to the fact that our leadership hadn’t been on yet to flag them as blue.  EVEmails went out to inform the rest of the corp, and no friendly fire incidents occurred.  Some of the corp think the pocket might be a bit to overcrowded.  I for one think it will make the pocket better.  As they claim sov it will mean more upgraded system(s).  With their members the current upgraded systems will be less likely to drop in their sov levels due to lack of activity, and we may have the numbers to properly run mining ops.  Yes some of those juicy anomalies will be claimed a bit faster, but in the end… it can only mean more of them.  Now all we have to do is to see if they “play nice.”

Secondly, in one week I will have finished my last Astrometrics skill to level V.  I then begin to work toward making the isk to get all the necessary implants I discusses in my previous blog.  At my current skill levels and ship’s equipment my Sisters Combat Probes have a strength of 58 (base strength of 22).  Needless to say I can’t wait to see what it will be with the implants.  One last item regarding scanning…  ***Tip – You can increase the strength of your scan results as much as 7% but just moving your probes to be on the same plane as the signature you are scanning.*** When I get my skills maxed and implants loaded I plan on doing a few tests, and will report the results.

Fly Safe… Stay profitable…

Rumor Denial

“Unofficial” Press Secretary Report

Tasha Aramata – 2101.07.19

It is at this time that SI Radio would like to put an end to any rumors that its Director Quivering Palm’s extended absence is due to his entry into a drug rehabilitation program.  Rumors of Quivering Palm being seen gallivanting about Lisbon and other western European cities arm in arm with surgically enhanced strippers while intoxicated beyond belief is plain false.  That the most recent rumors that Quivering Palm has failed to pay bills due to spending all his Euros on drugs and women, and has been recently evicted from his penthouse in Greece is a travesty and slanderous!

I can assure you that his absence from the confines of internet spaceships and radio broadcasting was a planned part of the summer hiatus that has been previously reported.

It is the position of SI Radio and Quiver Palm not to comment on these or future rumors.

Thanks for tuning in…

A Friendly Fire Incident

Hello From Providence

SI Radio Member Report: Hello From Providence – 2010.06.30

Greetings my fellow corp men and women (& blog readers)!!!

I am Agatir Solenth (or Ag if you prefer). It has come to my attention that the Planet Risk Show is on the verge of being removed from the Blog Pack for lack of posting activity! As Quivering Palm & Luminus Aardokay have been overwhelmed by real life events (like answering fan mail, drinking beer, or chasing half naked girls on the beaches of Greece) I felt it my duty to step up and blog about the recent events surrounding SI Radio’s move to Providence.

It has been almost two months since I joined the ranks of SI Radio, and I can tell you that flying with these guys has been as much fun as listening to the Planet Risk Show Podcast. It isn’t that we have been super successful. We have had some “epic fail” attempts at PvP. We have gotten suckered into a RP event that turned out to be PvP trap (POP went my Geddon). Our wormhole operations have had limited success due to poor spawn rates in our 0.0 pocket.

What has been really successful is the chemistry of the guys who I fly with. As Quivering Palm and Luminus Aardokay have said again and again on their Podcasts, we are bunch of Carebears that have graduated to Noobs! We have as much fun losing ships as we do shooting them. This has made it a lot of fun to go out and try to learn this thing called PvP, and I for one, have become very good at losing ships! It would appear that we are a collection of beer drinking guys that like to fly internet spaceships. Most of us began our careers in EVE mission running and/or doing the industrial trade thing, and got our first taste of PvP in wormhole space.

That being said… what you can expect from my future reports will be snippets of our exploits and failures, lessons I have learned along the way, and my thoughts about EVE in general.

Until then… Fly Safe… Stay profitable…

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU WON A FREE PLEX!

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU WON A FREE PLEX!

Good.. now that I have your attention… I can proceed with the actual content of this post =)

The more ambitious a project is, the harder it disappoints when it doesn’t come to fruition. As such, it so seems that pod pilots are too scared (or maybe too lazy) to record themselves talking about Planetary Interaction while imitating Quiv and me. Not a single submission.. /emoragequit…

Maybe you guys are filthy rich and don’t need any more ISKies, but we still have 5 PLEX to give out, and since the pen is mightier than the sword (or in this case, the keyboard is mightier than the microphone), we are not only extending the competition until the end of the month, but we’re also changing the rules a bit. So..

- Either record yourself talking OR write something about  Planetary Interaction. Once again, the content can be anything. Review, Guide, Rant, Fiction or Cookie recipes.

- Send it to qna@planetriskshow.com

- Deadline is on May 31st

- All entries will be played/read aloud on the June 2nd show. The authors of the best 5 will win themselves a PLEX each.

- Singing is not forbidden (heaven forbid…)

- In the event that we don’t get enough submissions, all remaining PLEX will be donated to the FFFFFFF (Federal Fund for Fedo Freedom Fighter’s Families)

Tyrannis is pushed back, and so is our competition

Our master plan was to finish our PLEX giveaway competition the same day as Tyrannis’ release. Apparently though, Tyrannis is not just yet ready and it has been pushed back for a May 26th release. As such, we’re also pushing back our competition until the 26th, in order to coincide with the release, and of course announce the winners on the Planet Risk Show Season 2 Premiere episode.

So, don’t hesitate pilots. There’s still time to submit your impersonations, but not that much.
