Not too much of interest today. News feed keeps lighting up with reports of warring going on between some capsuleers in null-sec, but what else is new?  I mean, I'll admit it's sometimes fun to hear about the tactical maneuvers sometimes they pull once in a long while, especially when they're effective and a whole load of the bastards get blown up at once, but for the most part I can't say I really care all that much. Yeah, that's how they make their living, but I make mine planet-side. Actually, my tune would probably change a bit more if I didn't live in a system patrolled by CONCORD, but if you're heading into those areas and don't have some kind immortality? God help you, then, because your brain clearly doesn't plan on doing so. The reasoning behind those dumbass pirates out there is something I can't even begin to fathom, similar to the occasional idiot I hear about that willingly joined a capsuleer crew.

Battles seem to go by even quicker these days. Maybe we've all just gotten used to killing each other, or perhaps the proliferation of mildly cheaper arms and dropsuits that have specs similar to older, more expensive gear has caused a rise in people across the board having access to what might normally be considered higher end equipment, thus leading even random Joe Jackass McMerc to have access to Duoville assault rifles as well as Ishukone sniper ones. Even I've found myself slotting damage boost mods in order to keep up with all these idiots running around in gear they shouldn't be, if only so I can keep up the murdering as well as before while still getting by like the cheapskate I am. Admittedly, my kill to death ratio might not be quite as high as it used to be, but I'm still making bank, thank you very much.

Or maybe I've just gotten kinda stagnant from doing the same old thing every day. I dunno.

Mind you, none of this stops all the bitching. Once in a while I'll visit a merc message board or chat site, and it's always the same old bullshit sob story about how they've gotten run over so clearly they need to nerf the laws of physics or something equally stupid. It's situational awareness, folks; If you can't keep in mind your position relative to known enemies, be aware of possible spots for enemies to emerge from, as well as any potential snipers within the area, then you're gonna have a bad time. There's no one combination of equipment and weaponry that'll leave you mowing down the opposition, and even vehicles have a plethora of weaknesses to exploit. If you can't kill them, then..I dunno...maybe those other warm bodies between you and the enemy might have the ability? You are not a one-person army, even if you're alone, fighting against the other side by yourself just means you've got no one keeping your back clear and helping to eat the innumerable amount of bullets they will undoubtedly send your way. Jesus Christ, people.
