Pod Pilot
Report: Agatir Solenth
Greetings my fellow pod pilots, & blog readers!!!
It is hard to believe, but I’ve been with Obstergo for over 8+
months, and the Porlarized. Alliance is
nearly 3 months old. It is safe to say
that we have settled into the natural rhythm of wormhole life.
What is the natural rhythm of life in W-space?
For those of you pod pilots that exist in K-space and unfamiliar with
wormholes, life in an alliance/corp in W-space can be best described as like
watching a colony of ants. As the ants
live within their ant hill, so do we live in our pocket of space, and like an
ant hill our home can only be entered through a limited number of holes that
disappear down into darkness. As you
watch an ant hill it will first appear that they move around in a chaotic
fashion with little purpose, but the more time you spend watching them you quickly realize as each ant
has a task it is focused on. So too do the ships that move around the
wormhole. Some are pilots providing
logistics for the POS’s, others are mining resources, some are building, others
hunt sleepers to generate isk, there are scouts that scan out the ever changing
W-space environment, and then there are those who roll the holes to search out
more fruitful W-space connections. Such
is the chaotic rhythm of life within a wormhole. At times that rhythm can be as calm and quiet
as a sea with no wind or current. It is
peaceful… and EXTREMELY BORING!!! …and
when the enemy stumbles into a tunnel that leads to your home it can be as CRAZY
as kicking an ant hill!
That is beauty of being in corporation/alliance that you enjoy… especially in W-space. As the
ants form a colony, so too does your corp & alliance create a community. When things are boring and calm the alliance
comms are filled with jokes, laughter, discussion, and debate. All inspired by diverse points of view based
on cultures and experiences literally a world apart. When targets or enemies are located and a
fleet is formed those same voices become serious, and the “chaotic” activities
are suspended for one purpose… to form up and FIGHT!!! The day to day chaos is replaced by the
chaos of a PvP engagement. Even
though the comms are not as lively (as battle comms discipline is practiced)
you will find some select joking and laughter that makes such “serious
business” fun.
When it is all over we retreat back to our wormhole home, settle back
to our natural rhythm, and begin rolling the hole for the next big fight so we
can do it all over again and again.
Until next time,
Be Bold…
