Into Tyrannis
Well I am back on the Internet and into EVE again, with a great big smile on my face.
I have to apologise for my absence over the past several Months, but real life crept up on me, and gave me a great big kiss, yeah it makes a change doesn’t it.
To keep it short, an old friend turned out to be the love I have been waiting my whole life for, and we have spent the last few Months moving in together, and organizing phones, adsl lines, as well as setting up the study. 
The phones took the longest by the way, which was only to be expected, considering the fact that I live in South Africa, where it has been proven that a pidgeon is faster than our Internet.
It seems that every time I come back to EVE, there is something new. This time it is Tyrannis, and “Planetary Interaction.” Maybe not quite as exciting as I would have liked, but being more of an industrialist than a PvPer, I will definitely get a deal of enjoyment out of it.
On the 7th of June I parked my trusty Crane in one of the main hubs in my area, thinking that the new Command Centres would only be seeded in high activity areas. Imagine how I felt when they were seeded everywhere lol.
Oh well, I ran back home, picked up a number of various CC’s and headed for the planets I had picked out previously. Then with a lot of Wiki pages open, and some help and good advice from my friend Zama, I set up my first colony, 
which I then followed up with three others. 
Now it is just a matter of managing the colonies, and waiting to see if they make a profit, ho hum.
It is nice, but….I think it could have been so much more.
To me, planetary interaction conjures up visions of docking on Planets, and having command centers and other buildings that you can actually enter. Maybe even move from your mine/extractor to your Processor. Take a walk to your launchpad, climb into your ship and head back out to space with a full load.
I don’t know if this is actually going to be a part of Dust, but something like it would be nice for EVE.
Sitting out in space and dropping icons on the planet surface is hardly “Planetary Interaction,” not for me anyway.
But for all that, I still enjoy playing EVE.
