I've been slacking off with posting, I know. I just have not been spending much time active in game, many apologies.
Our sightseeing guest is still with us, enjoying the ever-changing vistas of our exits. Although I have not had a chance to speak with her personally, I hope she is not completely bored with how quiet the system has been the last few weeks.
An alt of mine has left nullsec, from a failed 'I want to experience what nullsec is like' phase. The alt in question did not want to fly the ships that were standard fleet doctrine, and could nopt make most of the scheduled ops. Therefore this alt will be joining faction warfare. I'm sure FW will be far more interesting than nullsec, and I want to thank @eclipticrift over on twitter for the encouragement.

new inventory system hurts...
Opening inventory at a pos is painful. Everything that has a cargohold is listed, guns, etc, and it's giving my client fits right now. I'm hoping they add to the filters so I can at least filter out the guns and starbase modules I don't use on a regular basis.

faction warfare
The changes to faction warfare coming with Inferno are interesting, and much needed in my opinion. I never tried faction warfare, as it seemed hazardous for little reward before. But with Susan Black and Hans posts on things....I am sorely tempted to try it out.
Other than Miilla using our system as a grand tour through all of hisec, things have been quiet in the home system. I exported quite a large amount of PI last time we were in amarr space - I did not have time to sell it but it waits there for a day when I need a quick cash injection. I finally trained up Jhared to interplanetary consolidation 5, as I've been using electrolytes faster than I can harvest so will need to setup on the other gas giant to harvest more.
There are times I've been tempted to take down the medium pos, as it's a faction pos and those are hard to find. Moving everything will, to be blunt, be a bitch. Still since I've noticed on the forums that there are people (thanks to Miilla twisting Slade's words) who have taken an interest in taking both of our towers down, that replacing it with a nonfaction tower might be a good idea.
It's been pretty much just Slade and I in the hole anyway lately, and as we don't actively recruit, I worry that we may in fact get evicted - the fact that we have not run into major resistance or been evicted already is parts good luck, and my CEO's silver tongue.
We've been here for ....what 3 years now? Seems a rather long time, I know we've gotten used to our system, decorated and planted a little garden, yet still are ever watchful. I may start moving some of the high value items that are not often used back out to hisec, just in case.
One thing that we need to decide on - we've never kicked anyone from corp for inactivity. We have corpmates who have not logged in for well over a year, some are still in the wormhole - do we move the stuff in those hangers as well? Do we start giving more rights to existing corpmates to allow everyone to live in the large pos - and do we still need both towers?
In Eve, one of the maxims to live by is 'Trust no one'. By doing so, and not recruiting we've been dwindling our numbers down, as well as activity. I feel that something needs to change, if only a little bit.

Tests on Sisi
The new missile effects on Sisi are amazing, and the look of the new stealth bombers are quite nice as well. My personal favorite is the new nemesis, with the mata ray look.
I urge everyone to do testing on Sisi to get used to the new inventory system if nothing else. Those who forgo testing the new system will likely be lost for a bit when Inferno gets dumped on Tanquility. It's quite different and easy to lose track of stuff. I'm all for the change, as Eve is never static.

news of an unwelcome visitor
Opened an corp mail from the ceo. We've had a ghost loki hanging around for a bit, and finally have gotten a visual on it. The appropriate name has been added to watchlists.
I suppose now that we've been lucky so far, and we can no longer count on keeping the statics closed without crashing them.
