I recently wrote about how you need to make your own story. I think my own story came to a bit of a halt for the past few months. Well, half year.
I've spent the holidays trying to write a new narrative for myself. It ranged from the melodramatic to the maudlin, and frankly, was more exhausting than it was worth.
So, I'm re-writing my story.
Yes, simple as that.
And simple is the story I'm re-writing.
I'm leaving the pirates to re-enlist with the militia. The Republic again. I've got a fondness for Hek that goes beyond rational thought. It'll feel good to be part of its defense force.
As a change of tactic, I will also take my rank progression a little more seriously.
Before, I was mostly concerned with perfect fights. I'd sped a few days crafting a ship with tactics to go with it, and then go test it out. I spent a great deal of time on single fights, and analyzing them afterwards.
Valuable, but exhausting.
This time, I will focus on progressing through the ranks of the Republic militia. This is a much broader success criteria, meaning that fighting is just a small part of my overall development. Capturing outposts, mission running, I-Hub sieges... all these are important to success in Faction Warfare. And that's not to mention the logistics of supplying the front.
I fooled myself into thinking that capsuleer combat was all there was to New Eden. This is not true, and frankly, life would be boring if it was. Simple ship to ship duels are just a tiny part of the universe, and I did myself a disservice by focusing on that small section.
But enough rambling. Leaving pirates. Joining militia.
Looking forward to putting down some slave murdering zealots.
