Bork Day 6b (weekend)

Noooooo! I am 2 Zydrine short, even after melting everything down. ARGH!

More LSD, but, without further delay:

So while that is cooking I'm looking for a Venture BPC (since the BPOs don't spawn in NPC high-sec). I'm guessing Zydrine will be a problem again... yeah.... sigh. I might wait a day or two before I go for more.

More LSD (Low Sec Diving) and I ran until I was no longer welcome (by rats, not the locals)... and that took a long time. I ended up with 45 Zydrine after my crappy reprocessing skills, but that will last me a little while. I also picked up 5 more Mining I drones as well as 5 Hobgoblin I drones. I should note that all the Zydrine comes from Jaspet, so that is something I'll probably train in the future just for a slightly better yield as it is currently one of the hardest things for me to get.

Well, time for bed, but before I go, the Nereus and the Venture are finished. Self-built in under a week. I will admit that the update will slow down at this point. I need to mine even more as well as train up skills to be better at what I do. Level 2 security missions are next, but I really need rigs, which means I need a Salvager I. 

Tune in next time folks..

Bork Day 6a (weekend)

Came across a blue wreck and found this...

Free stuff is free stuff. Actually once I melt this stuff down I'll have enough Zydrine to build my industrial (once I get the BPO)

For not using the market I find I am constantly out of money. The big reason is that a BPO is about 10 times more expensive than the item it makes. So my journey to get a Nereus BPO will cost me 3.1 million isk for a ship that is only 300-400 thousand isk.

There have been some pretty sites today though:

Right now I am heading back to my main area to see how much more mining I need to do to build my Nereus. Hopefully not too much. Between the blue wreck I found and melting down the duplicate implants I have earned during missions, I should only need the basics. 

Bork Day 5b (weekend)

Picked up a Station Container Blueprint so I can start to sort out the junk, things are getting a little messy. Unfortunately I missed the part requiring Industry to be trained to 4, so it'll be a couple days before I can build it (doh).

But, after several delays, it is finally done!

Of course, its first operations are mining (in fairness, I am waiting for the missile skill to train).

But this does bring up a good point, what is next? I think for now more missions, enough material for a second Magnate, and then on to an Industrial, I am thinking a Nereus because of the drone bay.

Bork Day 5a  (weekend)

Some ups and downs. I had to make another LSD (Low Sec Dive) but I came away with two very good things. First I've mined enough Zydrine that I can now finish the Magnate. Second, some unlucky soul I warped in on mining panicked and bolted but forgot his mining drones. Thanks man, I'll use them well!

On another note I was planning on picking up the Miner I laser blueprint, but I've picked up two EP-S Gaussian Scoped Mining lasers from mission loot. If you are new to EVE and are mining but not in a barge and don't have Tech2 Mining lasers, get some EP-S models. FOr some reason the cost of them is never bad, but they have a 16km range and high yield.

I'm also training Light Missiles and building both launchers as well as ammo. My biggest headache is only being able to mine 158.8m3 per trip in the Imparitor and living mission paycheck to mission paycheck.

I have about 200,000 isk currently.

Bork Day 4

Oops.

Yeah, this little tin can has, er had, thin skin.Both guns survived at least, so I an not out anything major.

Thanks CCP, I feel so special. (just kidding)

Off to go get a Magnate BPO now that I have more than 3 million isk (finally). I am going to try to get it started before I go to bed.

Special parking award by CCP:

Time to melt down the loot (not all loot was melted at this point)

And now we have... not quite enough... eh.. time for bed. Tune in tomorrow.

Bork Day 3B

Borkinator 1!!!!

Armed with 2x Dual Light Pulse Laser I s and their Standard S crystals, a 1mn Afterburner, a Civilian Shield Booster, 100mm Rolled Tungsten Plate, and a Damage Control I (plus a Hobgoblin I) I can finally start doing missions and win! I am finally on the path to building a Magnate frigate!

At this point I have 59,000 isk.

Bork Day 3

Jaspet, well Zydrine, was today's big hunt. I flew through about 20 systems looking for a mining anomaly that would have some Jaspet or better. I found five such anomalies, but other adventurous players had already mined out all the good stuff. (Bonus point to the guy that left 3 Omber in the single asteroid left behind, well played!)

So after heaping helping of that frustration, I grabbed another rookie ship and risked a run in to Low-sec. I grabbed four load of Jaspet which yielded a total of 8 Zydrine (twice what I need for now) and I have my two lasers cooked. I can finally shoot people with a real gun!

As I write this I am racing around collecting stuff I forgot in other places and waiting for the crystals to finish being made (note to self: train Mass Production). More tomorrow, weekend, here I come!
