As I last night embarked on my now-lost-in-numbers level II PVE mission, my corp leader showed up in local. After the usual mindless banter (”sup yo” “hey bro” “im chill u?”), he went out to continue his level IV missions. As I was arriving in deadspace to begin the killing, he sent out a message through corp saying “Hey, I’ve got ridiculous amounts of loot here, so if you’re interested…” and I didn’t finish reading – just set my heading straight back to the HQ to get my Iteron II miner, and I was on my way.
In those few minutes I hauled in approximately 3000m³ of junk, including a nice turret worth at least 1M$. It really pays to loot!
Downloaded the new 1.1 patch… I still haven’t figured out what the “Services” button is for, nor why all my stuff has been displaced, but after a few minutes of rearranging windows everything was fine. I also realized how smooth everything runs now. Less flicker in the screen (this is noticeable on my install, and considering the fact that it’s a Linux client, it’s pretty cool that it got fixed), smoother animation, and a bunch of really cool window ergonomics stuff. It’s pretty cool, really. And the install went by without a hitch.
However, I do have one small problem I’d like to send CCP’s way: I was connected, and all of a sudden I got bumped off the line-up on Multiplicity. I logged back in, and was told I had to wait as I was 20th in line – I’m sorry, but what gives? I was in the middle of a mission, with five 150K$+ drones deployed, and I lost 3 off the 5 because of the bump-off. I feel I am owed a compensation, but what to do – file a complaint?
Screw it, I’ll continue with what I have… unhappily, but I’ll continue nonetheless.
6 more days til I get into a nice Myrmidon! (then we’ll see who laughs last… hehe)
