I use code names for my ships: <3 letter ship make>-<some random digits><one letter sequence code >

where: <3 letter ship make> is <first Faction letter><first ship type letter><first ship make letter> <some random digits> randomly entered numbers from the keayboard of various length - depends on mood :) <one letter sequence code> if I have more ships of the same type/make from the same batch I reuse random number sequence and add next Latin alphabet letter at the end.

Examples: Gallente (space) shuttle no 1: GSS-16371A Gallente (space) shuttle no 2: GSS-16371B

Council Diplomatic Shuttle no 1: CDS-23712A

Caldari Destroyer Cormorant no 1: CDC-723457A Caldari Destroyer Cormorant no 3: CDC-723457C

And so on...

💡Fun fact - from CDS description: "Based on a decommissioned Pacifier-class CONCORD frigate, this swift armored transport is typically used by the Directive Enforcement Department to ensure secure transportation of VIPs and high profile political figures.

Most recently it has been utilized to carry members of the Council of Stellar Management to and from their bi-annual summit with the CONCORD Assembly in Yulai."

If you are a ganker a Pirate you can profit from PI as well.

All you need to do is to sniff out where your benefactors' factory planet is* and setup a camp at the POCO. Then continuously scan your benefactors' cargo filling up with Broadcast nodes.

(*) sniffing out a factory planet and its owner - go to planet view, RMB on the surface - click “Show other characters network”. Zoom in and look for bleak circles representing command centers locations, click one and zoom out a little. Now look for pin networks. Anything that is composed of more than 10 circles may be a factory. Inspect circles with RMB to see what it is and who owns it.

This probably is not a factory per-se, rather just simple Raw → P1 → P2

But in this example, upon close check, all factory pins shows as P3 factory:

Captain Quarters :)

And let me out ffs, I want to visit PULSE Bar at J44...

While my computer barely handled it back then it made me feel more immersed into New Eden. Seeing my character walking around added more life to it and seeing my ship from the gallery brought things into proper perspective.

This is probably the reason I am fascinated by Vanguard (and enjoyed DUST514 when CQ was a thing)

And now I am just a ship, though awesome, majestic and lethal one...

(and a Vanguard for 4 days once a month)

Upgrade Reprocessing Service at stations to handle frozen capsuleer corpses and turn them into Biomass commodity.

Will we be able to use Vanguard FPS module with our capsuleer characters in some distant unforeseeable future?

Do Capsuleers dream of launching boarding parties at each other with the help of Vanguards?

Let us store warclone blanks at PI installations then rent IRIS AI service from Paragon with EverMarks to "control" those warclone blanks as EVE Vanguard NPCs to defend our PI from EVE Vanguard player controlled mercenary attackers. Or hire other vanguards to defend it or do it yourself on your vangauard character if you dare to. Or mix all options up.
