Well I certainly have been called a lot worse here lolYou do have a curious pov. I keep a bunch of ships like the DBX for example. It doesn't get used often, but fits a couple of niche things (local taxi as it's cheap to transfer, bumpy Guardian sites) very well!
As for the FDL and mamba... I don't like either of them. I do own an FDL but it's been flown like twice! The mamba I just don't like. Period. I'm just not a combat (pvp) pilot. I'll do some pew pew in my Corvette but only PvE.
Interesting / curious sig you have too. Almost bizarre. I really don't know what to make of it.
Anyway, as long as you are having fun! Enjoy being back!
I currently have a small fleet of 15 ships (which may get smaller soon). I just can't see the need to have duplicates, I guess because I tend to fully engineer them so to my way of thinking that would be a silly thing to do . Also I like having ships set to tasks that are kind of in line with the lore of the game. For example, one of the ships I have set up for long distance travel (as against exploration, to me they are different things) is my Dolphin. Again, with a little role play I tend to use that when I am envisaging my character wanting to make a good impression somewhere, like arriving to buy a new ship or something. Silly I know but it does keep me amused. Regarding the Mamba the reason I love the ship is simply due to the way it looks, the way it handles and the hardpoint placements - it just suits my style of flying.
The two lines in my signature block do have a story. The first line about the KWS is because way back when (before my break) there was a bunch of very vocal Commanders here who were part of a faction and proudly proclaimed that they will shoot on sight anyone who dares come into their piece of space with a KWS fitted because that automatically meant the Commander was up to no good. I had not heard of a more childish and immature reason for ganking so I took them to task over it, hence the line in the sig block. Unfortunately reading the current threads I feel I should amend that to include fitment of an ADC and flying without shields too .....
The last line was due to some here sprouting the gospel of certain content providers/influences, basically minions begging the rest of us to view certain clips so their idol can get more hits. Also I have been accused of being a paid employee of FD because I said nice things about the game - hmm never did get that cheque for services rendered.
Rest assured, I will probably amend the sig block now I am back and a lot err calmer
