Mord Fiddle and Kirith Kodachi are having a discussion about what should be done about supercaps. I think they both have good points, and they've also provoked some thoughts of my own on the matter. Super Predators I agree that there's a need for some kind of dedicated subcap ship that can act as...
Anyone who has spent any length of time in nullsec or involved in sov war will know that structure grinding is miserable and that most nullsec systems are empty, held by alliances who don't make any use of the space, but will happily jump on anyone stupid and masochistic enough to attempt grinding any...
The EVE blogosphere is abuzz with discussion about the Local channel and intel gathering methods – so much so that Seismic Stan of Freebooted has made it the topic of the 44th Blog Banter. Rixx Javix of EVEOGANDA has dramatically declared, "If you change it, I'll quit!" Now, I have touched on the linked...
We all know from their experiments with micro-transactions in Incarna and DUST that CCP wants the profits that can come with the F2P or hybrid business model. Their first attempts to bring micro-transactions to EVE had less-than-stellar results, while DUST is being built for F2P and MT from the ground up, but has not...

There are a few of ideas that seem to drift in and out of discussions of EVE Online – smuggling, dedicated gas mining ships, and q-ships. Q-ships in particular are problematic, because to make them halfway viable there needs to be some way to disguise what they are. A pair of new modules can...
My last few Terrible Ideas were all about carebear stuff, so this week you get a grab bag of suggestions, all relating to PVP in some fashion. So let’s dive right in.
I’ve decided to make my rebalancing ideas a semi-regular feature here at Recovering Carebear, self-deprecatingly titled “Terrible Ideas”. I wouldn’t post them if I didn’t think there was something to recommend them, but I’m equally sure that they can all use plenty of improvement – so feel free to offer suggestions in the comments.
