I’m still mining trying to get enough ISK to afford my ORCA. After splurging on the Scorpion and the Claymore, I’ve already got my bank back up to 200M ISK. Orcas go for around 450M in my neck of the woods, so I’m not too worried. And by the end of this week, I’ll be able to throw a Retriever in on the mining mix – if I really feel the need for it. I also did some more probe exploration and can easily lock down wormholes and most other … Continue reading

It’s not good to “oops” in EVE, but I don’t always take the most planned or intelligent path through EVE. Last night I was practicing my exploration skills and found my first wormhole. So of course I just HAD to go through it to see what was on the other side. I ended up somewhere very far away out in 0.0 (“zero-zero”) space and did some more probing around. I found a couple “sleeper sites” and… another wormhole. So of course I went and trotted down the next wormhole, which … Continue reading
Actually I dual-box with three accounts, but that’s neither here nor there. Anyways, the path I took to get where I am was a long and convoluted one, where I started with just one account. I was mildly satisfied with my combat pilot, Markosias, but I was always low on ISK. Then some buddies of mine let me in on their dirty little ISK secret, mining. Being an “alt-o-holic” doesn’t mix well with EVE, since you cannot train more than one character at a time…unless… you get another account. So, wanting … Continue reading
I’ve been learning how to use my Buzzard and exploration skills over the weekend, along with quite a bit of mining as well. At first I just didn’t “get it” when I was trying to probe and this video (without commentary, just captions) finally cleared things up for me! I was able to find ships quite easily, and drones and “hideouts.” But some other targets were extraordinarily difficult to get a fix on, and I would give up on them. I have pretty good skills: Level 5 Astrometrics, 4 pinpointing, and 4 … Continue reading
Yup, I’m back in the EVE universe again. What really hooked me back in was a little mining expedition. I was just going to go plow under a belt and see how things were going on my training etc. So after clearing the belt I headed back to the station to refine and sell the ore. BAM! I made over 30 million ISK! Which is about 3X what I used to get for the same ore just a few months ago . Anyways, I figured I’d better stay “in-game” for awhile, … Continue reading
