My Lovely Little Ship

by Smakalicious … I don’t care how sleek and polished your T2 sister looks, I promise to stand by you, my lovely starship. Your shiny new successor might be faster, more powerful, or simple put, better than you. But we, you and I, shared so many precious and unfading moments, right? We can’t just throw it away and go on, as if nothing had happened. We’ve gone through good and bad, but we managed to survive gazillions of grave situations, haven’t we? I know, that the new ship has more power grid, more highs, mids and lows, hell it has more firepower than you … but even that wouldn’t sway me because I am committed to you, ok? I’m happy we are talking about all this now.

What you said? You want me to stop looking at the chart with the price trend of that other ship? Uh, I’m not … I’m, … I’m … just looking at its shield resistances and its cap recharge time. You know, you need to start trusting me here! You can’t just start monitoring my wallet from now on and holding my ship purchase order history against me!

What? What do you mean by saying, you don’t want to undock anymore? You’ve unloaded all my Navy Missiles form the missile bay and the cargo? You have stripped the ship fitting from your slots and won’t let the drones go from the bay? And you are currently not accepting any repairs to your hull until this is fully discussed? Well, that’s just … great!! *sigh*

Look, I can understand how you might feel. Don’t take it out in public. And if you want to throw all that attitude at me, then why don’t I bring up the fact that I will never ever be truly satisfied with your insufficent shield cap? And since we are being totally honest here, your cap is kinda crap and *cough* your targeting range is too small. What’s that? You’re sorry for being so inflammatory and rude. Ok ok … I accept your apology.

But remember, you being jealous won’t get you no where. There will always be other fancy new ships all over New Eden, and I may be tempted. Yeah, I’ll admit it, I’ll gaze after one of those ships, but there’s no crime in that. It’s completely natural to check out the looks of another ship, but I promise I will not stroke anyone else’s computer console or come closer to anyone but you … most of the time.

Let’s remember the good times, like when I got you. Look how happy I am! *smile*

With many new ships being released by CCP in the previous and the upcoming expansion:
Are you gonna stand by your old, rusty bucket, or trade it in for a newer, shinier and more powerful ship? Discuss.
