Apocrypha on-line

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

The patch doesn't want to download to my computer for some reason. But that's okay, because patching from inside the client pegs my notebook's CPU at a constant 50%, so I grab the Apocrypha patch from the EVE Online website. I actually end up downloading the entire client ...

Getting ready for Apocrypha

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

The EVE Online servers should be down now, being upgraded with the Apocrypha expansion. When the universe comes back there will be wormholes leading to unknown space, vastly improved graphics for everyone, skill training queues, Tech III hardware and probably some other changes I've not been paying attention to. ...

I'm gonna need a bigger boat

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

My plan to stockpile minerals looks to be working at the moment. I have bought a fair quantity of most minerals at good prices and getting them back to my industrial base lets me run several production lines without running out of materiel. Of course, I will need ...

Keeping busy

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

My desire to get a flying dragon, a different kind of Drake that I'll call a Tech II mount for this post, means I haven't been in New Eden terribly much recently, but that's not to say I haven't kept myself busy. I have a few more BPOs to ...

Being productive

Friday, February 27th, 2009

There is an awful lot happening for me at the moment in EVE Online. My first batch of ME research is coming to fruition, which has plenty of consequences. The direct consequences are that it frees up my limited number of research slots, allowing me to install more ...

Trying to corner the market

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

A capsuleer bought almost my entire stock of missiles that I had placed on the market, spending several million ISK to do so. Shortly afterwards, a huge cache of the same missiles was placed on the market in the same station but with a significant price increase. I could kick ...

I sometimes feel like a non-profit organisation

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Currently in EVE Online I have a plan. Yea, it is a good plan, as it has a short-term goal that not only doesn't encroach on my previous aims but encourages me to spend more time in New Eden, in order to make enough profit to afford the new ...

Aiming for the Crane

Friday, February 20th, 2009

This is exciting, my material efficiency (ME) research jobs are getting closer to completion, which means two things. First, I get a bunch of researched blueprints delivered to my hangar, a whole lot of new toys all at once! Second, my research slots will be freed for more ...

The value of labour

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Heading in to New Eden I say hello to a couple of new corporation colleagues and pick up my newly completed production run of missiles to put on the market. Jumping in to my Badger's pod I take the missiles to the system and station that has proved lucrative ...

Corporation application and thoughts on covert ops ships

Friday, February 13th, 2009

The missiles I'm manufacturing for New Eden capsuleers continue to fly off the market as quickly as I can make them. Meanwhile, Kename Fin stops by to point me towards an excellent resource for BPO research figures, before casually throwing in an invitation to join her industrial corporation. ...
