Gold Magnate

  • Status: Extinct
History:

History and classification of various sub-species of spaceship remain fragments in the records of Empire University Shipolgy files. Scattered notations made by researchers and filed away, unpublished in popular formula.

References of the Gold Magnate are found in poems. It appears this particular ship was bred in the stables of the Amarr Imperial House. It is hard to separate the appearance of this particular Magnate from the rest of that cultured stock due to the simplification of the name, 'Gold' or 'Golden'. Yet, history tells that this particular ship, gifted with a ridge of quill lick structures and a thick, golden head-crest, caught the fancy of the empire and was offered as a gift, straight from the imperial hand during a gladiator tournament of some kind.

It appears that the Gold Magnate was aggressive. Unlike its docile brethren who are common companions for explorers and young adventurers, the Gold Magnate was an aggressive fighter and ruled the stables with a terrible dominance. Was the placement of this spaceship one of benefit or not? It is unknown. It is just known that hte Magnate passed into the hands of the winner and from there left the stables.

After that, few references are heard except for a notification written to the stable keeper that the Gold Magnate had died in battle out in the edges of space. It passed out of known history into legend.

Current Times:

Legends grow over time. The stories once traded at the campsite become a point of fixation and obsession. Heros grow out of legends as do saints and monsters. The origin of the Gold Magnate is well known. Its birth in the Imperial Stables a point non contest. The bloodlines are without question. The imperial records are immaculate. It was of no surprise that breeding programs have been attempted. They have all failed.

Until now.

A formal announcement was made that two Gold Magnates had been born. Not even of the imperial stable but a private breeding facility had been pulling DNA from blueprints for a decade. Their announcement was that they had recreated what was thought the be lost. And their announcement brought with it not a wave of joy at the resurrection of a legend but a cry of shattered dreams and an assault upon their news conference. Amid the accusations of witchcraft and trickery much is unknown as to the future of these two, innocent Magnate.

The Imperial Throne has filed a formal complaint with CONCORD over the reclamation and resurrection of their private, genetic line. It is believed that the genetic scraps were pieced together from individuals sold from the imperial Stables and perhaps legends that the shattered wreck was salvaged were true. If so, the birth of these new Gold Magnates may be a sign that reverse blueprint engineering and reclamation salvaging will bring forth more extinct spaceships to current times.

Updates:

The Imperial Throne won its contestment over the Gold Magnate pair and they were were returned to the Imperial Stables.

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

And back again

My very slow wormhole adventure continues almost as slowly as I am terminating my island in Animal Crossing.  My class 3 wormhole was not where I wanted to be. I was looking for a class 1 or 2 wormhole. I dropped my probes and with much less confusion scanned another wormhole. I remembered to dscan and collect my probes as I warped to the wormhole. I even remembered to drop a bookmark, wormholes being such good bookmark locations later. My wormhole told me it was a route into low sec. I tilted my head. How circular do our adventures go. Today might be the day to die and that too is okay. That mantra dances in the back of my head these days. Even if someone mocks me, what does that matter? Fattening someone's killboard is their issue not mine. So I jumped through and found myself in Efa in Khanid, tucked on the edge of high sec and null sec. What an interesting little system.  Several connections to high sec. A connection to null sec. This must be quite the traffic system.    I am f
