I'm returning from some planetside furry rest and relaxation. A handful of days doesn't sound long, but when they are spent in relative isolation, with only personal-distance communication, there is plenty to catch up with when getting back in the pod.
My first task is to refresh my ME research ...

The strain of running towers in two w-space systems is showing. The main tower is in a low class system with a static high-sec exit, allowing reliable access to k-space and the normal missions and industrial operations it offers. But we don't set up a w-space operation so ...

The w-space system holding our mobile tower is now a minimum of two wormholes deep, making it more awkward to enter from and exit to k-space. Although having a static high-sec exit is remarkably convenient for coming and going, once the system is cleared of sites of local Sleeper ...

The current entrance to the mobile w-space tower is over twenty jumps through low-sec. I think I'll pass on that. But there is probably a better opportunity of getting to our large, permanent tower, with its static high-sec exit, where I could at least make myself useful and ...

The convenient cluster of Lai Dai agents is quite close to low-sec space. They are not so close to low-sec that I am unlikely to be able to pick up an encounter mission, rejecting anything that will take my PvE ship to hostile space, but courier missions run the ...

Training in battlecruiser V is complete. I can now sneak command ship skill training in to the queue, breaking the monotony of Amarr cruiser training. I first need to buy the expensive skill book from a war academy, which I do as part of a mineral shopping spree. ...

A non-aggression policy can be quickly modified when everyone starts shooting at you. The corporation maintains such a policy, which generally suits all members. By staying mostly in high-sec and avoiding annoying other pilots directly we can operate with little interference or worries about security standings. But ...

I occasionally opine that little in New Eden happens quickly. I have recently completed skill training in battlecruisers V, the duration of around twenty five days being part of a grander skill plan to pilot a Damnation command ship, which will take around seventy days of skill training in ...
