I am happy I have a T3 ship and live in wspace

Posted by Quivering Palm in Captain's Log on March 6th, 2010

Wspace colonists really can’t catch a break with T3 ships – can we?!

Last night I got myself into some non-consensual PVP… and almost lost my brand new Tengu… and by the looks of it… I might have lost it and never realized that the ship I was flying had a weird bug…

Here is the story:

SI Radio PVP Tournament #2

Posted by Quivering Palm in News, Upcoming Shows on January 22nd, 2010

Alright friends and foes of Split Infinity Radio!

I’ve come up with quite a crazy idea last night… But before I can start planning, I want to share a glimpse of what I’ve thought about with you…

How about we organized a special PVP Tournament, open to everyone, with some really cool prizes and a chance to fight against everyone?… well not only the drunken duo of the Planet Risk show, but also against other folks… fellow listeners of SI Radio… Split Infinity Radio DJs… and their friends… and their friends’ friends’… and their enemies… hehehe

A test of player dog-fight skills and ability to fight under stress – with lots of other pilots around you, watching.. and waiting.. for their turn…

Here is what I’ve come up with so far:

We (Split Infinity Radio) organize and sponsor a PVP Tournament.
There is some sort of entry fee and your ship would have to meet specific requirements (see below)
Everyone who signs up, at the date of the tournaments has to be at a specific system / specific time where the tournament will take place!
The PVPes who signed up will be placed on single-elimination 1vs1 rounds, randomly and would get to fight against our special guests as well as SI Radio members!
Winner takes some cool prizes away with the trophy!

Rules:

You will have to fit and come with a Tech 1 Ship, using only! Tech 1 Meta – 0 modules!

No Named, No faction / deadspace / officer / Tech 2 or anything other – down to the bare minimum! Rigs are allowed.

Ships I am thinking of are Frigates or Cruisers – what do you think?!?!

Check out the poll section on the right – vote!

What do Hulks and Titans have in common?

Posted by Quivering Palm in News on January 12th, 2010

… lovely killboard pages like this one and this one

As you can also read in the latest Tribune article, the above fight for Y-2ANO recorded as one of the most expensive losses in a single battlefield ~~ever~~ yet in terms of ISK.

Reports say that in fact 7 Titans met their doom but somehow the killmails went lost.

As rumored there are about 250 of those ships (the size of Long Island) in the game.. well about 246 :-p Now, for newbs like me a single Titan loss seems unthinkable.. but 7… or even 4 ?

With the number of players online on the server reaching a new peak record of over 56.000 ((!!)) last weekend, I expect that killmails like that will be coming again sooner or later.

Bundled with player-driven actions like Hulkageddon II, started by Helicity Boson, I say 2010 started with quite a bang!

Exhumers (especially Hulks) are sky-rocketing in market already – almost double price compared to a month ago – as well as Destroyers and other ships used in the suicide runs.

The coverage of Hulkageddon II in media like MMOCrunch and Massively.com is huge, as well as the whole EVE blogosphere.
