Good war Sabus, the minefields have never been as peaceful or as productive. All your members are flocking to SICO. Soon, when the novelty of this wears off, even your core will turn on you. ---

> [@Sabus\_Narian](#): > > plenty of targets to choose from, and lots of fun to be had, whether you want to play bumper/ganker, anti bumper/ganker, or hate me and want to try and stop my activities The best targets to choose from are from this corp called ICANP. Their leader is a really weird sicko, which explains why they joined an alliance called SICO to begin with. I trust Sabus Narian will also endorse any ganking and bumping actions against ICANP Members, as well. ---

Don’t forget, Sabus is also a glorious leader who went off the deep end, wrote a book about some made up religion and got really high on voice comms telling his corpmembers to buy his book incessantly to the point where his corp was kicked out of its alliance. I can’t link the book because it’s considered ‘doxxing’ since he used his actual name publishing it, but I’m sure you can Google it with little effort. He’s a wonderful individual. ---

Also don’t forget to check out Parchanier two jumps from Audaerne, both SICO and ICANP seem to be pretty active there too (often running the conduits, mining and ratting), they have two structures there as well (as far as I know belonging to ICANP holding corps and a third one to someone else). ---

After reading these posts and a couple of others about “bumping” - I thought how odd the machanics of bumping were. In my opinion the most absorbing things about EvE is the shear complexity and attention to detail. Every move has you reaching for Excel - how much DPS missiles will diliver against a given target? how much you get from reprocessing a given ore etc. In a game where there is such an attention to detail it seems strainge that throwing one ship against another simply results in a “bump” that stops the bumped player alighning for warp - shouldn’t there be some damage? to both ships? There would be if it was real. It seems to be a missing dynamic that would add to the game - suddenly your ship iteself becomes a wepon - imagin - your webed, scrammed, out of missiles and your armor is fast going red - you have one last Hurrah - bump that frigate with your dying battleship - you might win? ---
