Rag and bone spacemen

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

I may have spent forty million ISK on the research project management skill training book recently but I also made back thirty eight million ISK from the market. When I log in I find that I sold a batch of cruise missiles and two batches of heavy missiles, along ...

Business is booming

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Being somewhat occupied with cinema over the weekend left little time for visiting New Eden. Indeed, because of travel time in and out of London, feeding myself and catching up with sleep the most I could manage was to check my status using Capsuleer. I expect to find ...

Learning to trade

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

In producing modules and ammunition to sell to capsuleers in New Eden I have to pay some attention to my costs and the market. As I buy minerals from the market and the manufacturing plant costs ISK to run there is an overall cost per unit to be considered ...

My first datacores

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

I have some datacores! I only have a handful, and only of one type, so I am not about to start inventing, but it is progress. I started the research process not too long ago, racking up twenty five research points a day from a low quality level ...

Working on my refinement

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Back when I was making the move from mission runner to industrialist in EVE Online I looked at the certificate system and the skills available to determine what I should train to be effective. As there is no Mac version of EVEMon I had to create my own low-tech ...

Starting research

Monday, April 6th, 2009

In-between running mining missions and being a courier to raise my standing with Core Complexion, Inc. I found a local R&D agent I could access with the corporation. He is only a level two agent, so I believe any research point gains will be relatively slow, but being able ...

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 ...

Production changes

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

After a couple of diversions in my skill training, including Industry V and Caldari Industrial V, I have finally finished training Production Efficiency V. It is quite refreshing to be able to open a BPO and no longer see a separate column of mineral needs reserved only to remind ...

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. ...
