I can see the way that CCP are constantly nerfing/buffing things to change the game around and I wholly approve. I think the fact that Eve is constantly evolving is really helping. I never flew Scorpions MWDing at 5Au/s or fitting torp launchers onto Kestrels. SUAS: I joined Eve when the majority of the really nasty bugs (features) were ironed out. Anyway how do you think those early times shaped your perspective on Eve? How was your early time as part of the SA community in Eve? I’ve flown with ‘ceptor scouts that got killed by rats because they didn’t have them set in their overview properly.

I remember wanting Eve to be like Elite with good graphics, but that was NOTHING compared with the hugely intricate meta gaming or the sheer volume of time that people put into co-operative gameplay of Eve Online. After screaming about hostiles on the gate (rats) and interrupting the FCs enough, I think people decided I really needed sitting down and the game explained, and so the real training began. That was (although I didn’t know it) one of the biggest battles in the game to date and it was overwhelming. I joined BOS just as we were leaving Syndicate and but hadn’t played enough to know what I was doing in the battle of VV-VCR.
SCHADENFREUD BLACK OMEGA SECURITY HOW TO
Skull teaching me how to lead and Thor teaching me how to play (I’m still pretty bad at Eve). They all knew I was a pretty competitive gamer so I was essentially power leveled by them. A handful of members of my Homeworld group moved over to Eve and when I joined Skull HSC, was CEO of Black Omega Security (HSC was the name of my Homeworld group and Skull kept the name when joining Eve), Thor was second in command and so it was odd for me. I am not sure why he but he seemed to hold a grudge about that. He and his group Freelancers dominated that game until myself and Thorthegreat knocked them off the top spot. I used to play a game called Homeworld (which the BoB corp Evolution used to play), and so was a rival of SirMolle from day 1. SUAS: I got into Eve, what felt like incredibly late. Tell us about how you got into Eve and some of your early experiences. Seraph: Well, I feel like I’m still a relatively newer player in that I was not deeply involved with Eve Online during the early days of Goonswarm, the fall of Band of Brothers and all that ancient history which still affects the Eve 0.0 political landscape today. SUAS: Thank you very much! I’m not a proper e-famous celebrity like Grath or Laz but I’m beginning to feel like one after that introduction! Seraph: I’m with shutupandshave (SUAS) former long time member of Goonswarm, and legendary Eve singer-songwriter and he’s been kind enough to share some of the history of himself and his first corp, Black Omega Security.

My personal favorite of his classics is Little Bees: He played a large role in Goonswarm’s success both as a military leader but also as a cultural creator. Recently I had the pleasure of sitting down with shutupandshave (SUAS), leader of Black Omega Security and formerly a pretty big name in Goonswarm.

In many ways Eve is simply a smaller version of our own universe. You can see how cultures evolve and how myths and a sort of nationalism can form. As a student of history and international relations, it’s a very valuable platform for social experiments and engineering as well as analyzing trends and traits. I view Eve as the “best version of chess” we have. Eve truly is an amazing game where you can find unique cultures and histories much the same way you can IRL.
