Stumbling over Manticores

Friday, September 11th, 2009

In-between inventing and building the Crane I install some more starship invention jobs. To reduce the datacore attrition I plan to invent Manticore stealth bombers from Kestrel BPCs, which requires only two of each datacore per job instead of the eight of each the Badgers consume. I'm happily ...

On the path to Damnation

Friday, August 28th, 2009

I am convinced that I need Damnation. Well, a Damnation, the Amarr command ship, for wormhole engineers fleet operations. Apparently, the bonuses it gives would be quite suited to our current fleet options, but I am swayed when I see its crow-like black-on-black hull. The Damnation is ...

The Crane is mine!

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

All is ready! Caldari starship engineering skill training reaches level IV and the other engineering disciplines are also at level IV. My Lai Dai R&D agent has accumulated quite a few datacores for me, whilst I have spent a few weeks in w-space, which I happily collect on ...

Invention and skills update

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Being out of w-space for a while, as I buy and fit a new Drake, a quick check shows that my level four R&D agents have been beavering away creating datacores for me. The number of datacores available to be bought bodes well for further invention attempts leading to ...

Putting a price on Tech II invention

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I have a couple of Tech II BPCs! I had better make modules out of them, so that I can begin to reap the profits of my medium-term industrial venture. Checking the manufacturing tab of the BPC I get a list of the parts required to produce the ...

Tech II invention doesn't greet you with open arms

Monday, July 6th, 2009

With some time available in high-sec space to run my industrial operations I think it is perhaps time to try inventing some Tech II modules, if only to convince myself that I am not simply flitting from one short-term goal to another and am making overall progress in my desired ...

Improving my project management skills

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Sales are going quite well in the regional market of New Eden I've been exploiting. I still have quite a lot of stock to sell but turnover continues at a modest pace and can provide bursts of income by monitoring my sell orders and adjusting prices where necessary. ...

Stumbling vaguely towards invention

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Well, that was easy. A few of my orders start being bought up and my level three agent asks me to clear a blockade, adding a nice chunk of ISK to my wallet that is begging to be spent on skill books for invention. The prices for Caldari ...

Moving towards invention

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

My industrial career in New Eden is coming along nicely. I have trained in many skills so that I am now productive. The handful of BPOs I speculated in have gone through long periods of material research, mostly waiting for the research laboratory to be free until I ...
