Re: LBGT Presence in EVE Online

July 30 2012
I have played EVE for several years now. Although there are no big LGBT corps that I know of either. Many of the big name places are accepting and openly protective of things like Orientation etc.

EVE University the teaching Corp is a perfect example. To be a member of it you have to be respectful towards others. Do not scam, cheat or steal from others.
Although many groups seem to have the Xbox Live CoD mentality at times, EVE Uni rejects that.
"EVE is a game about being the biggest bastard in a universe of bastards, and we are running a charity?"

Other groups will hold similar mentalities and not stand for abuse of their members based on anything like that.

CVA is a Null Sec alliance of Corporations that someone keeps suggesting to me as a good group. I have yet to decide though as I have been on EVE fairly briefly since joining STO.

Most will have their own forums etcc like here and you can do some digging to find those that operate more friendly inter-corp actions etc.

You will see a lot of hassle in the "Local" channels as those are unmoderated and usually used to Bait or Grief people into stupid actions.

CCPs own channels such as Rookie Help etc are moderated and will not allow grief or abuse as well.

EVE has that odd kind of social experiment to it where they leave you to do most anything and moderate each other.

As to threats of constant war decs etc. A lot of the time people like that will be all talk. Others may try it just to be viscious and grief others. Aka the Goonswarm mentality.

If fairly new to EVE and you are looking for a big group that will accept and defend you from abuse about sexuality etc then you could do worse then EVE University. Just be aware that they do have strict rules when it comes to stuff such as Wartime SOP etc.

Great article. Has anyone read how guild influence/upgrades work across servers?

During BWE3 I was on Emhry Bay and it didn't seem like I had access to the same guild upgrades as those on Crystal Desert.

I've been trying to name my ships in the manner of the Culture vessels from Iain M. Bank's novels. My current main ship is the USS Appeal To Reason.

My alt, being a Caitian, has all ship that are Longcat derivatives - the current Exploration cruiser being the USS Widecat.

Where:
Participants are required to meet on the interior of the Stonewall Fleet Starbase

Mountain time: 11:00 AM

The event is a scavenger hunt, requiring participants to use clues, which will be given out in real-time during the event, to identify four different spots throughout the galaxy. SUBSCRIBE to this thread or check back throughout the week leading up to the event, as additional details are released!

The event is anticipated to last between 1 and 2 hours! FANTASTIC prizes will be awarded to those who identify and travel to the different spots in the galaxy the fastest!

RSVP your attendance today, by confirming via the in-game Fleet Event UI screen, and/or on the Stonewall Fleet event list on the website!

Be sure to subscribe to this thread for more information throughout the week!

EVENT UPDATE!

Please be advised, that due to the technical challenges of implementing an event of this size and scope, your hosts will be unable to allow anyone to join the event, after it has started. For this reason, we ask that everyone planning on joining us for the event, arrive at the Stonewall fleet starbase (interior) at the scheduled event time.

Additionally, please be advised that the use of Transwarp abilities will not be permitted during the event. This measure is being taken in order to ensure that those people who have high ranking characters don't have a sweeping advantage over those who don't have access to those abilities.

See you all there!

Yes that is correct, weapon and armor all works like that, though the distribution of said stats can be slightly different.

Somebody has started to put together a map with the locations of the crafting nodes: http://gw2craftmap.bteamgaming.com/

Nicely done, even with a description on how to get to the farms. I had noticed the potato farm icons on the map but figured it was bugged, it took me a while to notice that there was a floating platform.

Takes some of the exploration out of it but if you need something specific it would be useful :)

If you need something, it's hard to remember where you have gathered it before.

I'm still not sure how armour and weapons stats work in guild wars 2. As i understand it all same level gear has the same stats. A looted helmet, a crafted helmet and a dungeon helmet of level 35 all have the same stats but different skin. I assume the guild weapons and armour merchants will sell weapons and armour with the same stats but a different skin.
