Relaxation through regression

'the wheels of regression' by g.originals

So I got a little frustrated today. Not with emoragequit at the game or the community, I should note. But I’ve had a bit of RL frustration and just wanted to clear my head without a bunch of conversation. EVE serves as my primary pastime, of course. If it doesn’t relax me, I’m doing it wrong. Feel free to psychoanalyze me all you want, but, like most citizens of the 21st century, I have a complicated life from which I want to escape once in a while.

I decided to roll an anonymous trial alt and run through the new tutorial missions. I did the exploration career agent first. While it leaves the scanning patterns a bit murky for those new pilots who might not otherwise know much about it, the wiki links should take care of that (more or less). The “implants” tutorial had a minor bug in that it didn’t actually grant the Cybernetics skillbook, but for less than 68k ISK, it doesn’t really matter. Early missions give more than that, as I didn’t even play ‘smart’ and already have over 700k.

So what will this character do? For now, exploration and salvaging. I don’t want to powergame my way through EVE, but rather enjoy it for what it offers: a fascinatingly dark and gritty SF universe. With spaceships. And duct tape.

    It's so easy to get too involved in-game to the point to where you have so many tasks, so many responsibilities that it's no longer very fun. I guess it's good to start over sometimes, and perhaps slow down a bit and let the game become a game once more.

    I should note, I'm not abandoning the Casiella Truza character. Just enjoying a fresh face for a bit.
