More motivation for Lai Dai mission running

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Cranes, Bustards and Manticores, oh my! I may not have been terribly successful with my recent invention jobs, in league with an industrial and corporation friend, but a decent number and variation of Tech II ship BPCs are returned. Even though not all of the BPCs have been ...

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 ...

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 ...

Taking a chance on invention

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

I really like the Crane. I borrow Kename Fin's when she's not looking, and when she's around pretend I couldn't possibly borrow it in a reverse-psychology manoeuvre that naturally ends up with me zooming across the galaxy at hugely impressive warp speeds. It warps faster than a shuttle, ...

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 ...

Getting more agents, losing some others

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

An EVE-mail flashes at me. Another storyline mission so soon? I must really be burning through these encounter missions, enjoying the explosions and smouldering wrecks. I definitely won't complain either, as I am getting close to being able to work with all the Core Complexion, Inc. level ...

Expanding my invention prospects

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I may not have been able to manufacture many drones and modules from the two Tech II BPCs I was able to invent but the few I am able to produce all sell quite quickly at prevailing market prices, which seems to offer me a decent enough profit to consider ...

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 ...

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 ...
