Finally making some ISK

Wednesday, November 20th, 2013

I'm going to see if being in space for a while can perk me up a little. I can update my skill queue at least, which isn't too shabby considering that it means I'm less than a day away from having all the battleship skills at level V. I would be ...

Taunted by a Tengu

Tuesday, November 19th, 2013

The static exit does indeed lead out to the Syndicate region. I'm slowly getting to grips with the different colours and nebulae visible through wormholes exiting w-space. All I need to do now is find a way to make that information useful. For the moment, though, feeling smug seems to ...

Trying to ignore distractions

Monday, November 18th, 2013

I have no expectations for this evening. I'll just get myself on-line and see what's out there. Of course, that's not to say I won't be disappointed, but with any luck my level of disappointment will be greatly reduced. For example, it's disappointing to find that all but two of ...

Music of 2013, part three

Sunday, November 17th, 2013

I'm lagging behind on this year's music choices again. I blame my lateness in still not being able to differentiate Ghost Outfit and Gauntlet Hair when they're playing. Or that I am finding it difficult to define either. But I've given it a go. Now I can move on to ...

Failing to ISK

Saturday, November 16th, 2013

The goal of making ISK yesterday didn't quite go according to plan. By which I mean we ended up losing another half-a-billion or so. Still, keep our chins up, what? We can have another crack at making some ISK tonight, preferably with better results. And it's a better start at ...

Getting back on track

Friday, November 15th, 2013

Let's get Fin home. Sure, it would have been simpler had that wormhole not collapsed, and that hostile fleet not thrown a party in her honour in the middle of class 2 w-space, and had my glorious leader not been in an Orca industrial command ship and the hostile fleet ...

Making negative ISK

Thursday, November 14th, 2013

We could probably use some ISK. For that, I have a cunning plan: isolate our system, shoot Sleepers for profit. It's so simple I don't know why anyone else hasn't thought of it. I'm almost worried about sharing this knowledge in case it gets abused, but that's a risk I'll ...

Greyer shade of blue

Wednesday, November 13th, 2013

A conversation request so soon after combat? I can only imagine my opponents want to congratulate me on my skill and tenacity. I hope that they also want to give me my Loki back. Strategic cruisers cost a fair amount of ISK to replace, after all. I accept the request, ...

Obvious bait is still not easy to ignore

Tuesday, November 12th, 2013

What delights will there be in w-space this evening? Nothing at home, the gas even having drifted away, and jumping to the neighbouring class 3 system sees the standard tower and no ships on my directional scanner. It's an uninspiring start, but, then, it usually is. This is why I ...

Ships stumbling together

Monday, November 11th, 2013

My glorious leader is trying to drum up some interest in w-space by taking an industrial ship through several systems to make use of an exit to high-sec. It's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it pays off. I, on the other hand, have merely found that route to ...
