How to easily download builds and patches

Start the download

at anytime during the download click cancel

go to the repair tool and use it

done. works perfectly

You can choose to wait until the end of your initial download if you want. but most likely it will come up with an error message that will tell you to use the repair tool anyway and u will hav spent double the time downloading and getting frustrated what's wrong with the launcher or something till u figure out to use the repair tool.

If you don't follow the above steps u may find yourself throwing your computer into the bathtub or something. You may also find yourself eating way too much chocolate like me during these things just trying to stay happy. And we all know where that goes.

So be nice to yourself and jus use the repair tool from the get go.
It is awesome.


See you in Space!!

Vi

Countdown to Halloween !!!

It will take me months to prepare for everything we are going to do ;)

My Favorite Holiday so we celebrate it in space too. Why should old Earth hav all the fun!
We will be having a corpse dump, and a (by invite only VIP's ;), Party At my captains quarters and the adjoining Corpse hangar, where we are currently arranging them all in order for inventory and getting some set up in special "display" form.
Costumes will be mandatory if u are coming to the party but I will let u off the hook and as long as you hav a little mask or some ears or something that will pass ;)

I will keep u updated here and some of u will be getting formal invitations when the time gets nearer.
I know a number of you have already rsvp'd with intent to come and if you would like to please contact me as I don't want to accidentally overlook anyone. Particularly my awesome Donors to the collection!

Hav a great day!

Violet

Ela makes good while being bad.:)

[Ela was in the right place for the wrong reasons, A CODE ganker turns her tables and she becomes the good pilot talk of the town.]

So I was just in a weird feeling (see the previous post and this will all make more sense :)And yesterday when all that went down with Vi dying and all my ships losses. my brain was num. So I was in a system to maybe do bad things. idk didn't reely feel like that either.

I was mostly jus in a haze. I was jumping around the system to planets and belts and there were some rats on me in one of them. so I started shooting at them. I noticed there already other wrecks so I just kept shooting. I gess I made this person in the Atron mad because I think they thot this was sort of their own rats or something. Either that or they are unstable in the brain somhow. so they bumped me and left.
My catalyst was totally fit for ganking an I was jus shooting rats. SO he left and I was sort of on cruise control and I was looting all the wrecks, I reely didn't care whos they were. but then this guy comes back and is in a Catalyst and I saw it was that same Piz guy so I started overheating. So he locks me and starts shooting so I look up an say like wtf?

My guns were grouped already so I killed him rite off POOF before even Concord got there.

Then I noticed local channel start to light up with all the woots and congrats :)

My conscience is starting to hurt a little...more than that

I was jus sitting out here jus off an asteroid belt during a hunt. Looking at the beautiful Sun, letting it warm my face, and thinking about how sad Vi looked when I left her at the station.
I started thinking how lucky I am to hav her an others around me. I try to be good. I mean I try to do things right. Idk, sometimes things jus keep getting messed up an I feel everyone pays for it but me. But Vi, she jus keeps believing in me. sometimes I don't evn believe in me.
So I sit here still looking at this beautiful system, knowing there are miners out there in those belts who hav no idea wat I am about to do to them for no reason other than the thrill. I look down to my hands, they hold the blue pill that will alow me to forget the pain and to last a few seconds longer before Concord blows my ship to pieces.
Vi has not been mining. I kno she does well with isk. I kno I do not do well with it. And she jus keeps being there for me an I jus sit here an I am thinking I don't reely kno what I am doing for her, or anyone, for it.
something jus feels weird I can't explain, but I need to smile. But I think I need to do good things to be able to smile. Not jus laugh or giggle or whatever, I jus reely need to smile. And I am having a hard time doing that.
I noticed Violets smile fading recently. And a little while ago wen I left her there in that station to go out an do my hunting, on her isk, on her watch, She jus had a sadness I couldn't figure out till I sat here.

And then I got the news. I saw it come thru the comm. "A bounty has been claimed on Violet Aeon." Vi jus stayed in the pod and undocked and jus sat there until someone killed her.

vi has never died before. An my heart hurts

And I feel so responsible

Elanore Has a new professional role with her corp!

(jump Clone....and...out)

Cue the scary music...

Scary ambient music cues, beginning with a distant echoing boom it increases in intensity as a lone darkly painted Catalyst with a foreboding name enters system


Local ###### (name of system obscured for security reasons)
Elanore Wansmore > anyone know where I can get a hot bath and a good bottle of whisky in this system?

The lighthearted local chatter goes silent. Ships scatter. some dock while others leave the system entirely. The dark ship Docks at one of the lesser used stations and she emerges from her ship. She is dressed black as night and seems to almost fade into existence as she leaves her ship.
At a run down pub on one of the lower level concourses a shaky handed bartender serves up a bottle. An elongated shadow moves eerily around the floor as she pulls the drink close. The few patrons, with no quick movements, nervously fan away from her, all the while keeping a wary eye.
A thin, older man, pulls his lady close to him and looks at the dark woman at the corner of the bar. He jerks slightly as she notices his gaze. There is a fear in his voice "Ma'am, we don't want any trouble here, please."
Peering sideways through her tresses she smiles slightly and looks at her empty glass. She pours another round and sets the bottle back on the bar. The shadow of her arms movement passes over the mans face as his visibly scared partner holds him closer and turns away.

Elanore Wansmore > then I will advise not making any.

Pretty Deadly (of Gunships and Dresses)

Violet Aeon > I feel like I am doing very bad things.
Elanore Wansmore > u aren't pulling the trigger so it is ok.

Violet Aeon > oh she did did she?
Elanore Wansmore > yeah, that was nice huh?
Elanore Wansmore > :)
Elanore Wansmore > Vi ?
Violet Aeon > Maybe sometime, when I am not working to make isk, and buying ships that are going to definitely explode,and fitting them, an delivering them...maybe when I can keep my own isk...jus maybe then I will buy myself a few nice things too again.
Elanore Wansmore > Vi, are u ok?
Violet Aeon > (sigh), I am tired. I need a shower, I need to sleep. That's all.
Elanore Wansmore > I don't, I mean I don't mean tooo...

Cyno Gate!!!!
So in corp today jenn opened a couple Cyno gates for reasons I will not divulge here cause I am security conscious like that :)
How VERY COOL!!! I only ever saw one before and it was jus because I was accidentally somewhere else in null when it happened. but it was in the distance. This was RITE HERE!
But anyway, while the other corp members were doing their important stuff to prep and use it I was, um ,...well, playing in it.
seriously I hav no idea wat I am doing so far with the likes of that so I thot my best thing to do was jus take pics and learn.
So I went swimming in it :)

In this 1st pic Jenn had jus opened the 1st cyno of the evening (Cynosural Field)<<-- see this is an educational site ;)

Hmmm, I hav an idea.


Going to go swimming in a space tie die!


Wheee!!!!


Elanore Wansmore > That was fun!
Violet Aeon > Real educational there
Elanore Wansmore > Hey! I was playing the photog. I shud hav fun anyway.
