Piloting-by a podding

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

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 ...

Closer to Damnation

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

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. ...

Wormhole cruiser death squad

Monday, October 12th, 2009

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 ...

Skill training continues towards Damnation

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Having a long skill in the training queue makes for less maintenance, not needing at least once a day to keep the queue filled, which in itself is an improvement over having to know, and be logged-in, precisely when each skill is due to complete. Adding a three-week skill ...

Refuelling

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Knowing is half the battle. Being able to recognise why I spend most of a session holed up in a station, rather than enjoying the impressive vistas of space, lets me focus my attention on making some progress, however small. Well, that and the large tower in w-space ...

Keeping my manufacturing plant static

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Kename Fin asks why I don't move my manufacturing base closer either to my mission base or the corporation headquarters, to improve convenience and encourage activity. Akura Kawanaka suggests using jump clones. I suspect my reply will be rather long to sit in a mere comment. Moving my manufacturing ...

UFO in warp

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

I am warping around collecting minerals when I get one of those rare and majestic moments of coincidentally warping alongside a fellow capsuleer. I am in my Crane, of course, which zips along at an impressive 9 AU/s, but I have no idea what the other ship is that is ...

Down in the New Eden dumps

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Back in known space, and I'm feeling in a bit of a funk. I just cannot get started with anything. I have some Lai Dai agents waiting to give me missions to run, my manufacturing plants could be churning out some more modules to put on the market, ...

Bringing down the tower

Monday, September 28th, 2009

The w-space system runs dry. The asteroid fields are barren of exotic rocks, leaving only ores already plentiful in high-sec, and all Sleeper sites have been explored and pillaged of their antiquities. It is time to move out of this secondary system. Although getting back to k-space ...

Optimism

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

'I'm just on briefly to check my skill training.' 'Don't tell me you've completed battlecruisers V already!' 'Let's see. Hmm, nope. I have over thirteen days still to go. This is taking forever.'
