EVE Online: Wreathe Wallpaper
New wallpaper for y'all to enjoy.
This time it's the Minmatar Wreathe Industrial.
I picked her up in my travels according to the plank owners plaque on board she dates back to the Minmatar Independence wars.
On a trip around the world of EVE I docked up at a Urban Management station and saw this mothball Wreathe sitting in the docks.
Sensing an opportunity I got in contact with the owner who happen to be a fellow trader who was looking to get rid of it apparently a late relative of his passed it on to him.
But seeing as he was the owner of a several Freighters I wasn't surprised he didn't have a use for it short of reprocessing it.
Anyway he sold the boat to me for a pittance since he was almost willing to pay me to get rid of it.
After some quick restoration work on her she was ready to fly until someone found the plaque with the names of the original plank owners and commissioning date.She dates back to the Minmatar independence wars with the Amarr, had somehow survived intact and went on to trade for the remainder of her life...
She's now on display as a memorial to the merchant convoys that travelled the void of space to deliver goods for the Minmatar resistance.
Yes, I know I'm lazy since I quoted my DeviantArt description but that's all there really is to its backstory.

Enjoy!
Could EVE be real?
Apparently the Hubble Space Telescope picked this up a week or so ago it's apparently debris from an asteroid collision which generates a comet like trail of debris behind it.
Though for those who play EVE Online and have a sharp eye it looks more like a Dramiel frigate speeding through space a ship that the Angel Cartel fields.
Dramiel
Could it be that the boffins at NASA got it wrong and what we're actually seeing is a Dramiel in space or is it just a coincidence?
Anyway you can check out the article here (Yes, I know its a bit old).
EVE Online: Prophecy Wallpaper
After much convincing and several million isk later.
I finally acquired a test model of the Prophecy from Khanid Innovations. Yes, the same people who designed the Damnation command ship.
When she turned up in my hanger she looked like she had seen better days. So after a few days of refitting, a new coat of paint and lots of polish she looked just like new.
And here I present to you the Khanid Innovations Prototype Prophecy in all her glory in a wallpaper.
Posed in Garry's Mod, logos vectored in Illustrator, wallpaper and composition was done in Photoshop.
Grab a copy of her here.
Perth, Anime and Jesus?
So we went to the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre yesterday to drop in on the last day of Wai-con.
Before that since it was a Sunday we went to church service with our family friends who are kind enough to host us (props to them) here in Perth, the church was Sunset Coast Church.
It was a very eye opening experience to say the least, my old view of the classic preacher in church was blown out of the water in fact when we rocked up to service it was like entering some sort of rock concert with performers on a large stage and singing evangelistic music.
The service was pretty standard affair with awesome musical interludes in-between: Church news, explanation of scripture, prayer and passing around the donation buckets the general stuff you'd expect from going to church.
The musical interludes I have to admit were of extremely high quality and the whole operation was damn slick complete with charismatic preacher.
Anyway after service it was Wai-con time dispite having to take serveral detours, and parking 5 minutes short of the convention center we eventually made our way to the venue.
