Visa Gold Card II

Selling the loot that I did recover i got 2.5 million isk, so I did make a profit.

Replacement cost of ship after I reuse crap I had left over... 750,000 isk. Nothing. 



I put an armor rep and some missiles on it. I wasn't expecting NPCs in a high-sec site. Live and learn. Here we go AGAIN!

Found a wormhole to another high-sec system : A641 type

You can look up WH types here: http://www.ellatha.com/eve/wormholelist.asp

Very busy today while I hunt in high-sec with others. I did find a gas cloud, I should prep for that as well.




That was fast

Three jumps out.. scanning Frigate destroyed

Sansha data site... in a 0.7.. a recovered a few pieces... but the 40 million isk of stuff that I had looted from the first to cans didn't survive. [Following comments have been redeacted]



Time to get another scanning ship. Sigh.

Uncle Bork : Part DUH

Ok. Everything has been consolidated in to one place and I have sold off most of the junk. I have upgraded my Nereus to have a cargohold of 15,219.5 m3 (Level 2 skill, 3 Medium Cargohold Optimizations I, and 5 Expanded Cargohold IIs (as needed)). Not bad for now, to be honest I don't think I'll need the extra cargo for now, but it good to have.

I also have:
3 X shuttles
1 X Dragoon
1 X Magnate
1 X Venture

With just over 24 million isk I need to work on some implants and a scanning ship. The skills I am training need Intelligence and Memory. I am not going to waste a remap right now, so I'll spend the 20 million isk and get the +3 implants for those two stats:

Memory Augmentation Basic - 10 million isk - Slot 2
Cybernetic Subprocessor Basic - 10 million isk - Slot 4

*Note, you have to remove the old implants before you can insert the new ones (they will be destroyed)

These are expensive enough right now that I won't be diving in to any wormholes at the moment. That and I need a cloaking device, but that is 3.5 million isk just to get the skill and I only have 4.7 to finish building up what I have on hand. With the price of the cruiser being 10 million isk... time to do some scanning.




Off to do some scanning... 4.3 million isk on hand.









Ending the living off the land project

Uncle Bork is going to go more mainstream with Eve Online. While I enjoyed the experience of doing it, the changes in the game since the last time I did it have pushed it outside the realm of sustainable fun. If I were to blame any aspect of it it would have to be all the loot nerfs. You pretty much are forced to go to market for some things now.

To that end, I am dropping all my restrictions and consolidating my assets to figure out what to do next. Now Uncle Bork has been training this entire time (one of the nice things about EVE, you can take a break) so I should be a little more powerful.


I am queuing up some scanning skills now to start working on hacking and such. More soon.

NEW PC!

Sorry I've been gone. I have been fighting a multi-level comptuer issue. I finally just gave up and built a new machine... so more soon(tm)

Good news is that new rig is more than twice as powerful as the old one. Bad news, lost all my screenshots I was going to put in to several posts.... so we start over.

Good news is that I have a maxed Orca and I love the new patch (sorry Roq pilots).... 272.2m3 per minute per drone.... SO NICE.

Blanking game!

Ok, so I might be a couple days here. Something very BAD happened to my EVE client. When I launch it, it crashed my computer and required a forced reboot. I've narrowed the issue down to EVE and not a hardware issue. (20 years of IT here, I wouldn't blame the game without sorting it out.)

But while I rebuild my profiles and settings, I will not be posting for a few days, sorry.

Meanwhile, if you go to Jita, might want to skip this weekend. BURN JITA is in effect!

Random Thought

I've been doing the Gala event the last few days, so sorry for the lack of updates. I targeted one guy while fighting for the last battle cruiser and I won. He wanted to steal it, but asked first if he could have it. I told him he could have it and set it to blue.

Not everybody is an asshat in Eve. Had he stolen it, I would have smashed the F1 and F2 key and probably vaporized his ship, since Tornadoes have a massive damage output, but I play for fun and I respect friendly players.

Fly safe!
