There are litteraly thousands of propaganda / annoucement post on Eve-online forums every day so well ... there would be a lot to talk about

Reading and trolling them is a good way to past time during the "downtime"

lately reading the alliance forum makes me want to stab myself in the face, 100 fucking alt troll threads about bob make baby jeebus cry.

Cool, KIA still exists and is now an 'elite' combat corp?

They were the little Timmies on the block back when I played, following the big boys around most of the time. Nice guys though

History in EVE is just something very unique. Here you have an MMO that actually has a real, player-generated history of its own, with keyroles played by real people.

I still remember the settling of Venal by the first alliance and the resulting Venal Pirate Wars, then the fall and resulting sacking of Taggart Transdimensional and eventually the resulting founding of the Forsaken Empire. That';s such a huge story and that's only what happened in the north. In the south you had the constand border disputes and raids between the Fountain, the Stain, and the Curse Alliances. Yep, back then we didn't have fancy names for alliances yet ;P

Jade Constantine, anyone?

I was always in the North and while we basically had our very own wild west space opera up there, I actually knew very little of what happened down in the south other than the stuff you read on the forums. There was just so much going on. You could be an famous pilot in one part of the galaxy and a complete stranger in another.

Some people were just famous everywhere though, mostly because of their forum prowess.
Jade Constantine, anyone? Viceroy? Tank? Stavros?..

Well this is just me rambling, but the player-generated content in EVE is just very special and it will only keep getting better as CCP involves the players more and more into the official lore of the game and more and more power to make a name for themselves.

Anytime I read a post from Jade I want to take a sledgehammer and crack her/his/its skull open (joking, FBI, JOKING!). It's just so maddening.

I've heard lots of mention of Tank CEO and how he was banned from the forums, who is this guy/what happened?

mOO is a pretty cool story. They were the first very large and brutal PK Corp, apparently, back when Concord wasn't omnipotent or around and guaranteed victory. They camped 1.0 zones apparently and had the most advanced ships when the game first started..?

Anyways, they terrorized the newbie zones so well GM's came in their own ships and a huge battle ensued. Apparently a GM was even successfully killed, GM Redwing or something, but I might be mixing up stories. Anyways, they were allegedly (this is all I've been able to gather reading on my own) one of the main reasons Concord now exists and low sec vs high sec.

Granted, if not them,someone else would've done the same thing, but..! Not only is this player history, but nowadays some mission NPC's even make passing reference to mOO as a threat from days gone by. The devs just added them into the lore.

Tank CEO got banned from forum, he was trolling waaaaay too much

Even though he had points, he just would never stfu. He's still playing, at least he was a few weeks ago since I got a killmail of him

It's always pleasant to get a kill of a very famous ace, especialy in a 3v3 fight.
Jade Constantine is also banned from the forum, probably because his(er) post were consuming too much bandwith. He's still playing eve too, his corp still suck at fighting though, in short nothing much changed, except now it's Jasmine Constantine that is making lenghty post on the forum.
Viceroy seems to be playing very casually now, I wonder if he's been banned from the forum too.
I've not heard of Stavros for a very long time, he's probably quit or is playing very casually.

BoB - Band of Brothers, is one of the top alliances out there. They have traditionally just basically taken whatever they want, tho having made some pacts with others it's allowed them an easier time then they'd like you to think.

Basically, they control some of the best regions in the game without resorting to very high "guild" membership levels, are respected pvp'rs and basically rutheless if you piss them off.

Think of this as old school veeshan, with FoH running the show and systematically telling every other player on the server, we're coming so prepare your ass for the hurt that's coming.

Yeah, like the time Furor made an announcement that anyone camping a lucid shard for VT key would be trained over and over until they wanted to quit... I went straight for Maiden's Eye after that.

Well it's ok, you can keep that char, you'll be fine.

You gotta play the game for a year before you even know what the fuck people are talking about. That'll sure draw the noobs in!

The fact that most of the noob faggots don't last in eve is it's best feature - the playerbase as a whole is generally way above your MMOG average.

Espionage ftw.

This was well planned in advance although I can't figure out why the system was not claimed for the long-haul by putting in a bunch of large towers to get sovereignty.

When a station is taken, all the current assets of the previous inhabitants are 'locked up'. It's a huge blow to moral, and to peoples wallets when their stuff is in limbo.

Still, it was fun being part of it. It came out of nowhere and the forum abuse from it priceless.

Is there an items database for this game?

I'm just trying to find equipment for my Bantam for the 2 low power slots, and it's driving me crazy.

Hum ? check on the market ? 99,9% of the mods & ships in game stats can be found using the market.
You can fit 2 Power Diagnostic Unit if you're shield tanking it.
