Sounds good. We could start a midweek 'Dad's on tour oam' to a WH!

@Darrenius-Enaka How I love your OP and the conclusions you came to. EVE can either be extremely frustrating (if you only measure kills or ISK success) or extremely rewarding (particularly if your mindset permits you to see value in the doing, rather than just the achieving). Sounds like your meditations were worthwhile in helping you figure out a good balance!
One thing I love about this corp and our wonderful people is the support and hugs I see in Alliance (and sometimes material assistance) when someone has a painful loss. Just knowing others can sympathize because of similar experiences helps take the sting out of things sometimes.
@Vox-Populii When my daughter (soon to be 32) left in "her" car to drive to school the first time on her own, I seriously thought I might projectile vomit as I stood there on the deck watching her drive away! But...ya gotta let 'em go sooner or later or they'll never grow up and leave home.
-
@Darrenius-Enaka I would totally be in!
What are we talking here, after the kids bedtime but before ours? That should give us a healthy 15 minutes! hehe
-
@Darrenius-Enaka I'd be game. Good incentive for me to get voice coms set up and working.

@Darrenius-Enaka said in Reflections of a painful day:
"warp drive active game"Hilarious. Is that what the kids/wife call it?
-
@A-Dead-Parrot actually the good lady tends to call it "warped mind active"!
In terms of a roam, it depends what time zone we are all on. I am GMT and 20:00 to 2200 tends to work for me. I will start a separate thread to see who is interested.....
-
@A-Dead-Parrot Another reason why I always (well mostly) play with sound off.
-
@Vox-Populii some sounds are useful, such as a wormhole splash. There is a fair bit of fine tuning in the sound options for the more annoying sounds.
-
@Dave-Ordo You mean that when someone enters a WH others can hear it? Or just the player themself? WH sounds to me are just generally creepy and blood-pressure raising.
The "you're being targeted" sound is useful all right.
-
@Vox-Populii
Yes, so long as you are zoomed in close enough to the wormhole, you can hear the entrance, as well as see it.There will come a day when you jump through, only to find other capsuleers on the other side of the hole. Then within a few seconds an interdictor bubble will spring up. This is because they know someone just came through (from the sound and visual) and they want to catch them.
Same thing happens at a gate. It's just that the sound and visual are different.
-
@Lucas-Ballard It was that sound that gave me away when entering a wormhole tooThera.. I hate those bubbles ^^

@Lektro-Illuminate
There is only one solution: Interceptors!
