I've heard the name before, but I came across some disturbing information today. Apparently he owns a many capital ships in high sec for the soul purpose of attacking veldspar. On top of that, he has a titan in low sec that is only used for mining.
Who is this man, and where does how does he get these ships in high and low sec space?

That page does nothing to explain why he gets such ore hungry ships.
Besides his crack-like addiction to EVE, and velds, is there anything else that sets him apart?

Well, the main thing to know about the capital ships in high sec is that he built them there before CCP put in mechanics to stop that. He (and anyone else) was allowed to keep them there. If if were to leave it could never get back anyway. There are restrictions on when he can use it, so that he cannot exploit its power for violent purposes (and yes CONCORD can easily destroy capitals), but Chribba is essentially non-violent anyway.
His fame beyond the novelty of the Veldnaught is that he runs out of game services that have become invaluable to the EVE community - EVE Files and EVE Search. His good name from that allowed him to set up his "third party service", where he is entrusted with hundreds of billions of ISK and Titans to facilitate trading of the huge ships without fear of a scam. Anyone seriously looking to sell a super-capital goes to Chribba, or perhaps a few of the copy-cats who have appeared.

Oh Ye GHods. Some people...
Alright, some facts for you:
1) When capital ships were first introduced into EvE, they could be built in highsec. After seeing what effect that had, CCP made a executive decision to only allow them into low/nullsec. The ones ALREADY BUILT in hisec were allowed to remain, as long as they did not participate in PvP. Evar. Since Chribba had one of the few highsec capships (a dreadnought), grandfathered in from when it was built, what else was he going to do with it, spin it in his hangar? Now you know how the Veldnaught was born - and whuy it only mines (can't use jumpgates, jump portals don't work in highsec, can't participate in PvP).
2) He has a Titan in nullec because he chose to build one; he's been playing EvE long enough that he can certainly afford it. As to why he mines with it - well, that's his choice isn't it? Just because it's a capship doesn't mean he HAS to fight with it - regardless of what nubs like yourself think.
3) As to what he does in EvE - lessee:
a) Runs a escrow service for capship construction - the only ABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY one in all of EvE. b) Runs a number of external EvE resource sites out of his own pocket, including (but not limited to) Eve-Files (filehosting for the EvE community), Eve-Agents (agent locator), etc.
That enough for you? THe whole bit about him being the Veldspar God is a RUNNING JOKE, man. Just because he has a Veldspar 'roid tattoo doesn't make him God...

I'm not trolling. It was an honest question. What is wrong with asking "How did Chribba become one of the most famous person in all of eve, who happens to mine in capitol ships?"

Then maybe you should have worded it that way the first time.

Posting in a thread about Veldspar-addicts.
@how does he get these ships: Just about anyone can have the ships, most can be bought from other pilots, not all but most (high-sec ones) as for capitals in low-sec, it's just a question of having the funds to buy the ships (in most cases).

I thought they were special mining versions made just for you. I guess that isn't the case.

So not worth it. Chribba's agents only give out mining missions. |
