I’ve been experimenting with a couple of non-spec (read “non-Gallente”) “drone boat” cruisers in EVE (the Amarr Arbitrator and the Minmatar Bellicose) along with my EWAR pilot (in a Caldari Blackbird). And it seems to be going quite well so far. The first few forays were over even before my second bird got his drones out, and I’ve yet to have enough time to get the EWAR bird locked-on and jamming the “baddies.” So it seems to be working out quite well. I’m looking forward to getting enough Amarr reputation to get … Continue reading

…for gaming at least. With the visit up to Utah, I did have pretty decent internet service via my cell phone, but I really didn’t have time for any gaming. Just did a little facebooking and browsing the net. Family took up the balance of the time. I did keep my training queues up and running for my EVE toons, and that’s about it on the computing front. Wilhelm posted an interesting topic last week about AFK missioning in drone boats and that got me thinking about the same thing. As … Continue reading
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
