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 ...

Set phasers to 'run away'

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

The shiny new graphics of Apocrypha can get a capsuleer in trouble. Whilst making my journey from the system holding my corporation's POS to my base of operations I spy what must be a pirate loitering on a high-sec gate, as my ship's computer highlights his vessel with a ...

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 ...
