Thanks for the review, Skipper!
Hey, don’t take any of that for important information, I just listened to the talking guys who knew what they were actually doing. I’d never even seen a Machariel. Also, Verone was my favorite announcer. Somewhat serious but also knew what he was talking about, or at least it seemed that way.
Watching the execution of some of those teams was pretty damned cool though. It was like a sporting event with back to back playoff games.
I want a permanent Jita Cam as my screensaver.
annoyingly the commentators do not have access to the screen/the interface the viewers see (the one with two neat vertical rows of ships on each side) and they have also got no control over the camera
AFAIK, the screen you see is streamed from a client controlled exclusively by a CCP guy. The commentators do not see/have access to it when they do live commentary (as they are commenting from home/away). They only invite commentators to Iceland for the finals (or is that round 2 as well?)
so that’s why they keep confusing sleip/cyclone thrasher/sabers :)
[edit] clarified
They were commenting on the Jita cam on day 2 though so someone there was watching it, perhaps on a different screen or something?
They did mistake a number of ships though, and also “lost tracking” for several of them.
Plaaaaaaaanets innnnnnnnn spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace.
Some very nice chap has summarized everything we need to know today:
I logged on this morning to buy a command center…which won’t fit in my ship. Boo.

How big is it, Brian? I don’t have a real hauler, but my bestower is rigged up to carry 20k.
Well I got an improved one – because apparently the basic one is shite – and it’s 400 units…wherein my frigate only holds 200. Boo. Tonight a corpmate is gonna help me haul it back, but it’s in lowsec and I’m not armed at all, so boo.

They vary from 100m3 to 1600m3 depending on the level. Unless it’s one of the really big ones it should fit in a destroyer or battlecruiser fitted for hauling if you don’t have an industrial handy (Protip: train industrials, you never know when a decent amount of hauling ability will be required).
Sadly I’m several jumps from my larger industrial ships, and now I don’t wanna fly uncloaked. ;) I’ll get it figured out.
sell it back and go buy one in a 0.5+ system.
Did you know it was in losec when you bought it? Or, did you place a region-wide buy order (that happens sometimes)?
Well, sure, but the system I’d have to plunk 'em down in is in lowsec.
I’ll certainly need it. ;)
I wouldn’t do it in Heydieles if i were you.
It’s not, but why? You planning operations there?
No, but i know of some people that would kill on sight any ship trying to retrieve cargo from a planet :p
I was planning on being lazy in highsec and hopefully making a few things I need for POS fuel. I’m guessing that was a very optimistic goal.
I don’t think I’ve even been to that one. Would that be similar in other lowsec systems?
