♥1♥ What is your timezone, primary language and approximately how many hours of Eve do you play per week? Tell us a little about your real life, your age, occupation etc.
What’s up guys… Well I’m a 28 year old (Puerto Rican) male from Bronx, NY (US EST TZ). I’m a network engineer for a well known web hosting company who dabbles in freelance web design from time to time. Before that I was in the US Army for 4 years serving my country, then I realized there was tons of money to be made on the outside. I’m the proud father of a 10 year old son, and 4 year old daughter. I usually play eve around 20-25 hours a week. If my application is denied I will assume this is related to racial profiling lol jk
♥2♥ What are your feelings about Taylor Swift? Which Taylor Swift song inspires you the most and why?
All I know is that she’s a teen country singer that was interrupted by Kanye West at the music awards show. BUT for the purpose of this question I youtubed her most popular video. The song “You Belong With Me” relates to me, because many women who are in relationships always seem to want to “flirt” and get with me despite being with someone else. Must be my exotic good looks.
♥3♥ Do you approve of scamming people in Eve? Have you ever done so? Do you think it’s okay not to honour ransoms?
If people can get away with scamming then hey, it’s just gameplay. Not my fault someone fulfilled a contract for 2 plex’s for only 600K isk. Life is one big scam! I’ve never scammed or have yet tried to. I think by dishonoring ransoms, you not only dishonor yourself, but you also make your corp/alliance look bad. Would you like your mother to get podded after she paid money to save her expensive “Implants”?!!
♥4♥ Do you approve of metagaming/spying in Eve? Have ever you done so or had it done to you? Do you have any useful spy alts? PM details about them to Elise Randolph.
Metagaming/spying is just part of Eve’s gameplay. I’ve never spied before, but in Faction Warfare we deal with spies all the time. It can be pretty annoying, but to have a spy on your side is not so bad. I’m just not the spy type, but I also don’t mind getting some intel now and then.
♥5♥ List all your Eve characters along with skillsheets. Note your main, skillpoints of each character, specializations and how long you’ve had each character. Private message full API keys of all characters/accounts to Elise Randolph.
Negativestatus - 21.5 Mil SP -
http://eveboard.com/pilot/Negativestatus - This is my main. Hybrid Gunnery pilot with a love for falcons and other fleet support roles
Meta X - 14.5 Mil SP -
http://eveboard.com/pilot/Meta_X - Anshar Jump Freighter Hauler. This is my alt.
♥6♥ What ships can you pilot and what ships do you like? What is your play style? Do you have any FC experience? If so, on what scale. What other roles are you familiar with in gang.
I can pilot Caldari and Gallente ships at the moment. Captial ships I can fly include: Moros, Thanatos. Caldari – Assault Ships, BC’s, BS’s, Covert Оps, Cruisеrs‚ Dessy’s, Electronic Attack Frigs, Frigs, HAC’s, HIC’s, Inty’s, Recons, Strategic Cruisers. My current play style is mostly fleet support. I very much enjoy making people cry when my falcon jams them to death, and I also enjoy flying the Basilisk for logistics. Recently I’ve been trying solo hunting and it has gone well so far. I’m still getting better at it.
♥7♥ Do you have an independent way to make income? Do you pay for Eve with plex or RL money?
Thanks to a good job, I currently use my RL money to buy plex and then sell that in game for ISK.
♥8♥ How long have you been playing Eve? Tell us a little about your Eve history, greatest achievements, your favorite fights/kills, previous corporations/alliances, and any past friendly or unfriendly relationships you’ve had with us.
I’ve been playing Eve now for 1 year and 3 months. When I first started playing I thought the game was horrible. There was no PVP and I felt like I was just following a skillplan that I made in Evemon. Slowly as I got more skills and developed a bit more patience the game started to grow on me. After doing some research about PVP I came across Red vs Blue, and Factional Warfare which led me to join the latter. I just love the thrill of hunting down people and killing them.
♥9♥ List any relevant killboard links to all your PvP characters, and explanations of any significant losses.
My Killboard:
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboar...Negativestatus
Most Significant loss :
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboar...hp?id=11132391
The reason behind that loss was simple. While trying to deter faction warfare war targets from camping the station in Tama I saw yet another target of “opportunity” and decided to engage. I was then shortly hotdropped by several CH supercarriers and my 1st carrier met its demise. Was a fun experience and first time seeing SC's
♥10♥ Why do you want to join us? Where did you hear about us? List any references or vouches in HABIT or PL (MAKE SURE you’ve talked to them first before posting here).
The answer to the first question is simple. I just want to blow shit up and looking at the killboards for PL as a whole, it looks like there’s a lot of killing to be had and I’d like to be a part of it. I don’t have any vouches in either Habit or PL, I just said fuck it and threw in an application.

♥17♥ While roaming‚ you find a Drake in a belt and engage it (you decide what ship(s) you’re roaming in, and give us the setups here too). Half way through the fight, while the Drake has you warp disrupted, a Basilisk uncloaks. What do you do?
If I’m in the Cynabal I would just keep my range on the drake and overload my guns in an attempt to burn him down before the Basi starts repping. If he’s not going down, being in the Cynabal allows me to disengage at anytime as long as I’m not warp scrambled and webbed.
♥18♥ You are roaming with an alliance member, both of you in vagabonds, and spot a lone Drake on a gate in an empty system. What do you do?
Immediately I would think bait, but since were in fast ships we have a slight advantage. I would engage/point the drake at range and have my friend not aggress. If he jumps thru my friend would then follow him thru and point him on the other side. If there are no signs of reinforcements on the other side then I would wait out my 1 min aggression timer and help out my friend on the other side “IF” he aggresses. If he doesn’t then I just wait till he jumps thru to me, rinse and repeat.
♥19♥ You are solo roaming in a Vagabond and jump into a gate camp with some interceptors and Arazus. How do you survive, if possible?
The arazu makes things difficult with it long range scram. First thing I would do is add the gate I just jumped thru as a way point and turn on my autopilot. Then when the session change timer is about to expire I would hit mwd/approach and hopefully have enough speed to make it the gate and jump through.
♥20♥ You are with a friend, both of you in supercarriers, in low-sec killing a small offline tower. Suddenly, a falcon uncloaks and 50 roleplayers bridge in on top of both of you with eight HICs and 50k dps worth of ships.
Firstly, the SC’s shouldn’t be out there unless they’re supported with a fleet of their own. Some questions about this tower though, are we in 0.0, or is the tower located in low-sec? Since HICs can’t put up bubbles in low sec I would have myself and the other pilot activate our remote ECM bursts in hopes that we can jam their HICs since SC’s are only affected by focus disruption scripts that are put out by HICs. If successful, we would than proceed to jump to our cyno alt. If in 0.0 surrounded by bubbles with no chance of a friendly fleet coming to save us after trying to take out their HICs, I would right click on my ship and choose self destruct. No juicy killmails for the offending fleet
♥21♥ You are with a friend, both of you in scrubby battlecruisers (e.g. Hurricanes or Harbingers) with weak tanks, in low sec. A Tempest aggros you under sentry fire and neutralizes all your cap, but you are able to MWD away out to 30km after taking a lot of damage. Do you leave your friend to die?
Army Rangers have a motto “Never leave a man behind”. If I’m in the hurricane, than I don’t have to worry about cap for my guns so I would still keep the pressure on the maelstrom and get back in the fight. This is all situational of course. Is my friend webbed/scrammed? If not, can he escape the maelstroms long range point? If so it would be wise to get out or deaggress. Malestroms have great Active shield tanks.
♥22♥ You are in Оld Man Star and havе intel of a Nyx warping around. Describe the steps you would take to find the Nyx.
First ask who’s the Nyx pilot and what corp/alliance is he in to determine if he could potentially have backup nearby. Scan him down on directional to get an idea of his general safe spot. Proceed to call in probing alt and have him locate the Nyx to see if it’s at a POS or safespot. If my alt can find the Nyx and it’s not a POS‚ then I would alert our alliance in the intel channelѕ and sеe if we can form a counter for the Nyx in a reasonable amount of time. Get a few HICs/BS’s/Supercarriers and hopefully get a nice kill.
