Slow going

My gaming has slowed down considerably this week because I’ve been dealing with a bunch of other things with work and household.  I finally got the gas turned back on yesterday – he just about didn’t do it because one of the pipes added to the water heater was an inch too long!  But I think he saw the murder in my eyes from not having hot water nor a furnace for a week – so he turned on the gas and “recommended” I get the landlord to come back in … Continue reading

Tank – Jam – Plink

My EVE mission strategy for multiboxing seems to be working.  Here’s how I’ve got my ships configured for Level 1’s (currently I don’t have good enough standing in Amarr to do anything but Lvl 1’s): Bait/Tank – DuraMaller aka “The Jimmy Durante”: Highs: (5) 280mm Gallium I Cannon, (1) E50 Prototype Energy Vampire Mids: (1) 10min Afterburner I, (1) Cap Recharger II, (1) Sensor Booster I Lows: (2) Power Diagnostic System I, (1) Gyrostabalizer I, (1) Microcell Nanite Adaptive Membrane I, (1) 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I, (1) Refuge Adaptive Nano … Continue reading

Mid-Winter, No Heat. ARGH!

So, I live in an apartment and you’d think that living in an apt. you don’t have to deal with maintenance issues. I was having some problems with my water heater and so they came out to work on it today.  While doing that they had to call the gas company to get the gas turned off while they were working.  So, no biggie.  They get all done and the gas guys come in to re-light the pilot lights and they’re like, “Dude, this furnace isn’t up to code.  We’re … Continue reading

EVE Missions – Multi-Box

I talked a little about the “bait-rabbit-sniper” tactic in my last post. My original inspiration for this tactic I got from this EVE Post (scroll down to the heading “How To Beat Any Mission With Ease”).  But I think I’m going to try things a little differently.  I think I’m going to use a Tank-EWAR-Sniper tactic. My plan is: I will use a “DuraMaller” as my bait/tank, which will enter the mission and try to pull as much aggro as possible.  Then I will throw in my EWAR and Sniper boats.  What I need … Continue reading

EVE 2009

I officially re-subscribed my EVE accounts yesterday after their 1-week free “come back” offer, which also included a one month discount rate of $10. During my Free Week, I pretty much got back into mining and trying to figure out viable training paths for my toons. Here’s the plan, for now, it’ll probably be different after another night of gaming, such is the universe of EVE: Character: Markosias Minmatar Sebiestor. This is my oldest character and he’s pretty much a “jack of all trades.”  But mainly he’s a mining foreman/booster, … Continue reading
