Hi Tech Connections

So I read all these stories about ppl with a zillion loyalty points who never get a good offer. Well my first offer from a lvl 3 agent with whom I got over 15k lp with offered me this skill book ;). Like I said, this game has been very kind to me… Hoping to sell it for 100 mil or so.

I am not spending much these days, but it’s nice to have a well filled wallet in case I have to pick up something !

New Cluster Coming !

Great news, next week the new hardware for the Eve Cluster will be installed.

That’s right, this is the day we’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to go live with the new cluster. This Tuesday, in a 24 hour extended downtime, old Tranquility hardware is replaced with 70 new IBM 64-bit AMD dual processor blade servers. This operation should double, if not triple the performance on our proxy and application layers.

This is a very high-risk and extensive upgrade and we suggest you set long skill training, in case anything goes wrong. Join us in wishing our server crew good luck.

Insane Mining Op

We had a record mining op yesterday, killing 2 belts, veldspar and scordite were the main targets, this is what we hauled in (from Carv’s report) :

In order – Trit , Py, Mex, Nocx44
Additional Mins: 29826605 3120423 186239 16928

FYI, largest mining op so far. 6 barges at peak, 2 covetors, 1 hulk, 3 retrievers! Very rich belts full of massive scordite and dense veldspar. All in all, very rich run tonight! We have eliminated two belts.

Going through the motions

Ah that sounds pretty boring but i am still having fun :), nothing much happened this week, except maybe our corp’s mining director loosing his covetor in 0.3 space. Just mining and doing a few missions here and there (they do tend to get a little boring though, but the money on lvl 3 missions is good). I now (finally) started working on the advanced learning skills, memory skill first then perception, cause thats a bit of a weakness and i need to get frig skill up to lvl 5, if I ever want to fly any tech 2 ships, but it’s now taking 15days and I am sure I can bring that down a bit.
