A Tower Bashing

Some pics from todays tower bashing. Thanks Khalia Tho'relia for the invite.

It started this morning when Khalia, myself (Elanore :), And Anna went to shoot the thing. yeah, we decided pretty quickly that this wasn't going to happen anytime soon. I think Khalia said "it would take a week at this pace"
So we bagged it for a while.
I went to low sec to hunt and ended up killing a couple cyno's and another ship, then gathered a bunch of loot up and started prepping to make my way back to null sec. :)
after I while I noticed all the chatter that something was going on again at the POS. Khalia had pulled it together and was gathering help from neighboring alliances.
Here I was in Hi sec trying to run from Concord and anyone else who at that time would shoot me. so I decided to dock up, dump my loot and suicide express back. It took a little while to get a couple ships put together for Anna and me, but wen I did we went and joined in on the shooting frenzy. more and more kept showing up and the dents in the POS started happening all that much faster.
I was fun. Thanks again Khalia for pulling the opp together
Heres a few pics. if anyone has others that show more than just my ship please pass them too me ;)



Nice location for this in the rings of a planet




It finally exploded and really lit up the sky!


The aftermath with the residual burning in the sky almost turns the muddy chocolate color of the Vale of the silent to something sort of pretty for jus a moment.


Khalia sent me a couple that shows the fleet better



Hav a great Day Pilots!!!

Elanore Wansmore > Khalia Tho'relia please let me know if there is any info you would like edited into this. I am certain I don't kno the full scope of the opp. http://violetaeon.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-tower-bashing.html

Khalia Tho'relia > that's pretty much it. chris asked if we can kill the tower and we did it. all I did was inviting a few guys from LZ and they got a few more ppl and we just kept shooting the thing.

Some updates: 31 Jan

Hi all. I know it has been a little while. But we were concerned about security a little. Well, that and this new direction of ours has ben a very fluid thing and I didn't want to be jus throwing things out there that may not even be relevant a day later. But I miss updating here and will do my best to not keep u waiting so long between updates. It is not like me and to be honest there are a number of pilots who I feel deserve a little thanks or calling out from time to time for good, bad, or sometimes jus silliness that makes New Eden so fun.

So I am jus going to throw a few things out here and try not to make this some epic lengthy thing. But with the promise I will do better at updating more frequently again.

1----To start Eleanor's Alliances on a personal level has been working out well. We hav met a lot of good contacts since. even being a "goon" as called by some because of her corps loose-ish alliance with Goonwaffe she has made great strides in gaining the trust of some corps and individual pilots in the low sec area I am currently calling home. Yes, that's right, ME in Low sec! who would hav ever thought right? But our goal was to find someplace that I can, in relative safety, mine ice so that we can all have a steady supply of income for the things we need such as ships, and clothing, and such and such. I have ben mining Ice for quite a while now and it has just gotten frustrating in hi sec, having to time my activities with the respawn of the fields and hoping to get enough of it before it was depleted by the mega miners. We are much busier these days than to hav to fight that battle and it was starting to severely limit my income. which provides all of us with the things we need.
So to sum up Elanore has been providing me with some awesome protection while I harvest, expanding our network, and of course I get to see her more often now this way as well.
any of the locals that know of us please be aware that we seriously do "come in peace" no matter what some may think because of Ela's security standings and corp alliances. We are here to network, make friends and expand our personal alliances so that we, and you, may hopefully benefit a little from our presence too.
Ela does get twitchy trigger fingers tho but she is trying her best to hold back the urges. The cyno's she has been taking out are not just random but we at least try to do a little research and look at their profiles before shooting them. We are sorry if any of these cyno pilots that hav been or will be killed are allied with anyone we know or are trying to make alliances of trust with. but sometimes it is just impossible to tell since they are with non allied corps and appears like a random cyno. Please inform us if a cyno alt is yours and we will put her or him on a no kill list.

2---Special Thanks goes out to Crow McCaw and Randy en Vaille for their recent donations to the corpsicles collection this week!!!! great work guys! thanks!
Everyone keep me in mind please for your frozen nasties that you may have sitting around, or aquire in space (in whatever fashion ;) I have a variety of freezer hangars scatterd around New Eden for safe storage. And Ela uses some from time to time strategically while protecting her Home system in Null space to decloak would be stealthy enemies.

3---There is a good chance that we will be splitting off Anna to her own account in the near future as well. this will allow her to be more involved with our going ons, and allow her th opportunity to expand on her industrial career she wants to pursue. As it is she has been very good support as needed for our ventures and it has provided a diverse means of education that works well between my mining and Ela's more, um, exciting path. But SHe is wanting to get on with some things so It is coming time to allow that opportunity. Especially since she has found her way back into her family's approval and they are coming to understand her need for adventure is not just simply a rebellion from their strict Amarr ways.

4--- Of course I ben doing fun things. so I hav been flying around these Impairor ships recently. Another little thing Anna sems to leave me after I deliver a ship for her to take somewhere. Sort of liking them actually, especially the way they look. And yesterday while I was flying to Jita I noticed how much they seemed to resemble my stiletto nails I like. So I did mine up with them as the inspiration :)

still sitting here working on detailing them out and filing an such. but u see where I am going with them. aren't they cute? :)

That's about it for now. At least as much as I can divulge due to some ongoing security isues we are still working thru. But leave it to say We think it's an exciting time to be in New Eden!

Have fun and fly however you want to!

We have been busy

There are lots of things going on in New Eden for us recently. A lot of things are changing. I can't get into details because of a few security issues, (that alone should speak volumes if u know us). But we are very excited with the routes we are taking. Some things are in progress and take quite a bit of focus and pre-planning. Other things we jus have to sort of react and adjust as we see fit. Sometimes it seems like we are our own worst enemy, lol, other times our little team somehow prevails.

Anna is back home in Amarr space to visit and try to do a little reconnecting with her family there. Unfortunately she was disowned to some degree by her own very rigid and wealthy Amarr family when she joined up with us after hunting for me for a some time. Anna is my half sister in case u do not already know that, in that we have the same father. Yes it is a tangled little web of a tale. I am however slowly working on the full compilation of that so you will understand how all 3 of our threads are intertwined. But still, that is for a later post as these soap operas of sorts are a very complicated thing to put together in some sort of comprehendible explanatory way :) But she found me thru Ela after being shot by her while travelling thru Ela's null sec home system. But for now she is back home schooling at her alma mater university to get some training in Amarr ships and mods. Something none of us hav done before. This should add a new degree of versatility to our little armada here.

Elanore, yeah, Ela seems to have a focus like I have never seen before. Her corp underwent some pretty huge changes recently and she is trying to focus on that a lot. it won't be an overnight effort but there is good direction. Her criminal element has been reined in some and is instead focusing on bigger things. That's not to say that Ela isn't still prone to twitchy trigger fingers and acts of random violence with a certain Catalyst that she has aptly named "Drag me to Hell". But then, Ela is a null girl 1st and foremost. But I am proud of where she has come, she has not been without fighting her own demons in the past. As you may know already, or that you will find should you traipse back through some older posts. nuf said I think.

I have been focusing more on the trade, marketing, and networking end of things. it is something I can do from the relative safety of hi sec. I did somehow manage to sort of, well, manipulate a little portion of the textile and clothing industry here, Something I hav been working on for a couple Earth years actually and so I have put that into motion. The reaping of this has begun to garner me a nice little extra income as it is a welcome thing to wake up and look at millions in my wallet that I didn't have the night before :) And of course I continue to mine ice in a variety of systems. I like mining ice and there is always some good people in the fields for fun conversation as well. Although I did venture into low sec the other day for some ice. yeah, carebear little me got a wild hair and with the cover and protection of Ela's Caracal we had quite the profitable day. It was a little nervewracking at times with the knowledge that we were mining in a system where Ela is a known criminal and had killed someone just a day prior. But for whatever reason we weren't retaliated upon and they stayed their distance. It was quite exciting and I am sure we will do it again. but for the most part I will stay in Hi sec and offer logistical and moral support for Ela's Null and low sec operations. Mind you, I am reserved about financing the criminal side of things. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. Ela does have her own income for these kinds of things even tho it can vary greatly and most of it is derived from the trade and transport of such things as drugs and other contraband.

Well, that's about all I can say for the time being about what's going on. Like I said there's quite a bit more and we hav recently met someone who came as very much a surprise to us and will yet again add another direction and element of adventure to our portfolio. Sorry I am not at liberty to discuss this atm. We must maintain a degree of the clandestine for our own survival you understand. After all, it is EVE. New Eden can be a very unforgiving place. Tho never without excitement and reward.

Enjoy and fly safe!

Elanore visits Goonswarm HQ command center

So I was on a roam with Chris Goh and I was having some real bad issues with my ship and stuff. We were many many systems from home in Vale and I was sure that one way or another I was just gonna lose my ship and die or something without even being able to put up much of a fight. I told Chris I needed to dock up and fast somewhere, anywhere, before things went south. He searched map and about 12 jumps away was a station we could dock up in so without delay we made for it. At one point I was so desperate that we crossed a sys an I saw a station so I jus went for it without checking intel or anything. I told Chris I am docking. "NO! you can't dock there!" said Chris. great, to late, I had alreddy started warping to the station. sure enuf, as soon as the station came in sight there were a couple neuts out there jus waiting with baited breath for some sap like me, so I did a 180 as fast as my poor troubled ship could and split to the nearest planet. The ship groaned and creaked and was making awful sounds but somehow it managed to pull away. I don't even kno if they tried to pursue or not cause I called to Chris that I was clear an he immediately fleet warped us to the next gate. we made it through fine and proceeded the next couple systems to the station we had planned on hitting.

Chris said this station would be Goonswarm federations HQ command center. Wow, I mean WOW. really? We docked up. Good thing too cause I think my ship was starting to crumble, as it was losing all manner of responsiveness an it was all I could do to bring it to a safe spot in the hangar. If any of the goons hierarchy reads this I do apologize for the dents inside the hangar where I was hitting the walls. the ship just pretty much died right there.
Chris, after seeing I was ok said he had to get on his way an he undocked and left back for Vale. So 1st thing I did was to sit back an pull out the bong from under my helm and jus relax. My hands were shaking so bad I couldn't even hav left ship if I wanted to at that point an I reely needed to jus chill for a moment.

When I did decide to leave the ship I opened the hatch an it abruptly jus fell off its hinges right there, barely missing one of the goonswarm security guys. "OMG I am sorry ! sorry, oh hell are u ok?"
He didn't say anything but I did see him roll his eyes at me and let out a sort of questionable sigh ,obviously aimed at me. He jus told me to step away from my ship and stand there. "Credentials mam" he said. He asked what business I had there and I sort of embarrassingly looked in the direction of my ship. I was relieved when I saw a slight smile cross his lips momentarily as he looked at it. He then went back to his professional self an proceeded to tell me where I could and could not go in the station and told me to be as timely as I could. He then pointed me the way to the main concourse and continued his duties.

I found a pub and immediately hit the door of the place. It wasn't a fancy place, sort of dimly lit with all manner of goons sitting around enjoying the camaraderie of exchange of war stories and the like. I sat at the bar and ordered a pretty stiff drink to finish relaxing. The guy who was sitting next to me was nice enuf even tho he seemed to go out of his way to make sure I was good an liquored up cause he kept buying me rounds, lol, not reely sure what was up with that but hey, party on I always say! After a bit of small talk and yet a few more drinks I was getting a little toasted an thot ,wow, it would be awesome to put together a ganking baadass little catalyst. Yeah, a cata built right here in Goon HQ! Galen, as he would become known to me it turns out had a number of contacts here and so I told him of my dilemma. He made a couple calls to a friend he knew there in station who would hav what I needed. He seemed nice enuf and we exchanged contact info. He showed me directions to where I should hook up with "Alizabeth" for my ship and fits. I grabbed a bite to eat to help settle the alcohol a little. By this point Galen was inching closer and closer to me a little at a time. I never found him a threat and not reely creepy. He was jus toasted like me I think and he sort of maybe liked me some, it was prolly the alcohol, it happens. Galen offered to pay for my meal so I obliged. He didn't look like one who would be interested in taking no for an answer at that point anyway. He placed his hand momentarily on my hand then looked at me an said "be careful, pretty thing like u could get into trouble if u don't watch yourself." I, um, didn't reely kno what to think of that so I withdrew my hand gently and said "thank you good sir, I will stay aware." I began to get up from my chair an he stopped me. He said we were both pretty toasted an that I could prolly use a little pick me up. So from his pocket he produced a couple vials of crash and motioned for me to sit back down. He layed it out on the table and we enjoyed a bit of that. I seemed to come out of my induced little stupor there pretty quick so I thanked him and told him I run this kind of stuff all the time. That if he was ever in vale and needed a bit I would return the favor no charge and we could grab a few drinks or something in my own corps station. I rose from my seat and walked to the door of the bar then turned around to see him nod, smile, and wave, I waved back and left the bar.

Following the directions I had received from Galen I made my way to see Alizabeth. Apparently Galen had contacted her already because she was expecting me and welcomed me right in, She was a tall, buxom and very pretty lady all dressed in dark clothes and raven black hair. She took my hand and said "Welcome Ela, come this way" I couldn't help but follow her as she kept hold of my hand the whole time. We walked to her hangar where she already had my Catalyst fitted and ready to the specs I had mentioned to Galen. He must have been sending notes to her as I was getting drunk and didn't notice. Anyway, as I was standing there wide eyed and just a little bit uneasy she then took my other hand and turned me to face her. She said, "take this ship, Take it and shoot something, shoot them good." I said that I would do everything I could to do jus that. She dropped my hands and gently grabbed both sides of my face. She pulled me in closer and kissed me right on the forehead then looked me in the eyes and said "Fly dangerous Ela. Kill 'em baby. And tell 'em where it came from". As she took my hand again we turned to face the shiny new Catalyst hovering there in the hangar. Some workers were just climbing down having just put the finishing touches by painting the name of the ship on it. They walked by us each looking at me with a little smile and a nod. Alizabeth set her hand on one of their shoulders as he walked by and she said "Thank you Gate, it looks great"

Alizabeth dropped my hand and motioned toward the ship. I was sort of jus struck there for a moment. I nodded thankfully and boarded the ship. I could see her as I began moving toward the undock. She raised her hand and waved once then turned to walk away. I undocked and made course for the Vale of the Silent or Hi sec, or wherever I felt like killing something when the urge hits me. I chose a gate and warped off in my shiny little Catalyst. Very aptly named in proud Goon fashion.

A New Star or something in New Eden? 'Caroline's Star" (with links)

As I stand there reflecting on what became just a really bad day. One I hope to never repeat and in which I have a breakdown and slap Ela in the face for causing much turmoil in my once very sane life. But that is for another posting here and one that I was actually writing so I could tell u about all that went on to get to that point. But while I was writing someone pointed out that there was a new star or something in the New Eden sky. Elfi had mentioned something about it yesterday but I was too consumed with stress and turmoil to do much other than not really pay attention.
Sorry Elfi.
That being said when I heard it mentioned again I stood at a viewing window in the station and looked and saw it. I am not really exactly qualified to hav any type of theory here and I will leave those to others. But my 1st thought is that there is some new region of space being born. idk why I think that, but I do. Another theory of mine is a black hole being born,Probably totally off the mark. But it will be a fun thing to watch as information and research starts rolling in.
Vi

The "star" from my location in the galaxy is very very far away and sems so distant


from Ela's Home in the more 'Northerly' area of space it appears much closer. so I asked her to please get a pic for me to post here. So she poses a "selfie", yes, with the 'star' :)



P.S, Of course given my luck it is a massive gate being born that will bring us all kinds of new freaky tentacled monsters to disrupt my already tense existence these days.

I am trying to remain positive here.
It was just a very tough day

Ela and the Zergs

had I not changed my ways...

I had gotten back from a bombing mission with corp an was just hangin around the hangar fitting up a ship for ratting, and watching neut enemies come an go.
A pilot by the name of Serapiha flew through as I was undocking. She was jus MESSED UP!
Flew right into me as I was leaving the station. I thot I was gonna get ganked or something but she jus bounced off of me and ran into the station an kept going. I pulled up her profile and looked at all her portraits an pics. What I saw sort of scared me. I think I had a wake up call cause in some ways it was almost lik looking in a mirror. not exactly but there were similarities between her an me. But She looked so very strung out :( I kno she is a enemy but I felt so sorry for her. I jus wanted to take her back to my quarters an help her somehow. She would not respond to me an jus continued on her way and thru the gate. I don't even thing she noticed me.
But what was scary to me is that she looked like I might hav looked if I had not slowed down. bleached out skin, dead empty eyes. there was no happiness in her face. I related. I hav ben there. but Violet and Nightwing and the peoples in the corp and others gave me some direction and I am still here. Alive an feeling healthy. I still like my parties :) But I can control them now for the most part.
I do not expect this Serapiha pilot to be so lucky. She has pushed it too far. I wish she would respond to me. She needs a intervention. I can help. I have been there.
I feel so bad.

:(

Ela



But look at me! oh yea I am happy an I looking good! ;)

Mirror mirror on the wall....

heehee

I wonder where we go?

I watch the stars
Do they fade?
or is it me?

Do I sleep?
or cease to be

I watch the skies

like closing eyes

dark

.

I am watching this one from afar

I will be mining over <----> somewhere.
Somehow I hav a feeling I am going to be having a guest crashing here for a while.
But until then well I don't know where I will be. ;)

definitely mining tho.
....yyyyep

Changing directions...

I have an offer for Elanore. I have assembled 3 of these for her and there are conditions now.

I don't know what else to do but there are a few things I think should change. And I am not poor yet, but I am spending way too much on ships that just don't really work with my sort of ethics or something, lol, I don't know, something like that. But we hav talked about this and thought very hard on it. Actually Ela started it by mentioning a way to 'clean up' on some ships, get some kills, and be beneficial to those that pursue my own chosen career at the same time. Sorry I can't exactly divulge some plans here, duh right? But leave it to say I think we have an understanding for a new direction. One also that will see Anna better suited and willing to undertake a further role in support. One that may even work to grant her back into acceptance with her family back in Amarr. But that is another story, and quite complicated for now.
Ela needs to work on her security status before I can release these ships. what needs to be done needs to be done in hi sec and well, Ela's just not really allowed here right now for, um, a lot of reasons. Again, unless u have been following these things that I write here then it's a long story :)

Vi

P.S. the fits on the ship in the pic are not all online because I just don't have skills for such death ships. They will have to be brought online, loaded etc etc after I transfer them to Ela.

Eve Portraits

You may know I don't link much stuff here but this one is certainly worthy of passing the word along. I can explain why I think a portrait is important to helping relay who u are and such. But the honesty is the intro page to this does a pretty decent job so I don't want u to have to read the same thing twice :)
I have met Reality X a couple times in my travels thru New Eden. It has been a while, but he's a pretty good guy and an arteeest sort at that, So that's a plus too in my book.
Anyway. He coordinates a gallery and a competition of portraits. One is going on now. So if this interests u go ahead, check out the site. It's fun even if you don't want to enter.
Enjoy!

EVE PORTRAITS

And I have been awake too long! I think I would break sticks with my eyelids if they were trying to hold them open. Or maybe it's jus last nights Halloween festivities. Either way my eyes are saying goodnight even as my fingers keep typing. I think I need to take a nap ;)
