I just came across a post in the official EVE Online Forums, depicting the changes of pirate ships in the upcoming Dominion Expansion. I always wanted to fly one of those Dramiels one day and I’m looking forward to the improvements CCP will integrate. So here is the original content of the original post:

Massively writes: This video is a theoretical and beautifully-presented look at how the actions of a lone assault frigate pilot can resonate throughout New Eden.

The Butterfly Effect starts out at the smallest level where a choice is made by the solo pilot, to either aid or kill another player in distress, and how that individual’s actions and choices in EVE ripple outwards, ultimately affecting the game on a galactic scale, and thus thousands of other players. This is “The Butterfly Effect.” This is your EVE. Show everyone you know:

I was in such a rage that I had to take a long walk through the corridors of the Brutor Tribe Treasury in Rens recently. Repeatedly cursing an enemy corporation that was the root of all my anger, I finally entered my favourite pub where I tried to drown my bad mood with some excellent Bavarian Augustiner beer that has exclusively been imported from good ole mother Earth.

But it wasn’t until yesterday that my feelings changed from wrath and depression to triumph! So why have I been in such a rage you might ask? Well I was hanging out just in front of Rens, dropping a can to have a fair 1 on 1 frigate fight. And I didn’t have to wait too long until a member of the Global Gang Bangers took my little rocket. Hmmm a Punisher. This is the perfect situation to try out a loadout that Wensley from the Tuskers told me to use for such a situation. After I targeted the Puni we instantly let our guns roar in a fierce duel, constantly orbiting each other. As I’ve foreseen it, the Punisher couldn’t really track me well and my Barrage S ate through this thick armor. It didn’t take too long and I had him in half structure, while I still had half armor. When….

…all of a sudden his armor increased to 100% in the blink of an eye and three pilots on the overview turned flashy red. Oh nooo! Not again! Some remote-repairers of his gang helped him as he probably couldn’t stand the shame to get shot by a three month old character with the better loadout. I survived another minute and tried to kite away, but with no luck. The last thing I heard was the deafening explosion of my lovely little Rifter. What a shame for him! And he didn’t  realise that this was a really lousy tactic for a 1 on 1 fight. So after I docked my Pod, I had to walk through the station in order to calm down. Otherwise I wouldn’t have a chance to find the tiniest bit of sleep.

But the story wasn’t over yet. Three days passed and I returned to the Treasury after joining some friends, to have a really nice BBQ in New Bavaria. This is a nice recreation of the original country in Rens IV. It’s really worth a travel if you have some leisure-time between your fights! Did I mention that we have New Eden’s most beautiful girls,  who eagerly satisfy our demand for fresh grilled meat? I even met a friend from New Berlin, Basti of Knorkator with whome I had a nice session playing some old Beatles songs (no fiction )

So when I approached the Treasury I saw some Gang Bangers hanging out there. Although I swore not to engage them anymore due to their foul tactics, the few beers I had resulted in me watching my little can rotating next to my Rifter. First a GGB in a hurri took it and all my rage would start to loom again. I did some smack talk about their cowardice in the local channel.  But there is no use in such a behaviour. I’m sorry for that,  I learnt that not all of the them are cowards.

To make a long story short: I dropped another can after Matt Deamon of the GGBs convoed me. He affirmed, that he was up for a fair fight. As I still didn’t really trust the situation, I told him to meet at the TransStellar. He agreed and we programmed our navigation computers to warp to our more or less private battleground. So let the games begin. The routine of targeting and programming a comfortable orbit initiated what was to become the longest fight I had to date. As he wasn’t able to track my Rifter, I never was in danger of losing my armor. But his Tungsten hardened armor was quite hard to break as well. When I realised that it wouldn’t take too long until I was running out of ammo and I urgently had to go to the toilet, I tried to steal away. Which perfectly worked as he didn’t scram me to safe his cap. So after reloading and the two of us shaking hands at the TransStellar toilet complex (guess he had some pints as well), we undocked to finish what we started. I had loads of ammo and I needed all of it. And like I previously experienced, it took me quite a while to eat through his armor again. Even his structure was hard to break. But finally I got my revenge on the Global Gang Bangers! The whole incident lasted about 30 minutes. A time of constant adrenaline rush. Beautiful!

After having a nice talk I again apologized for my rude words in local. We headed back to the Treasury and I invited Matt to my favourite pub to have a nice talk about loadouts, the life and everything. Big thanks go out to Matt Deamon for a very challenging and fair frigate-fight and Wensley for his invaluable suggestions! Fly safe New Edeners!
