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 16928FYI, 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.
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.
This weekend I started working for the Lvl 3 / Q19 Agent at our HQ’s station. After a few uneventful missions, I got Tech Secrets ! Was a bit worried I might not be able to pull these missions off, but it wasnt much of a problem in my Ferox. Shields got a bit down when i got attacked by a lot of frigs, but there was never a real danger of dieing. Had to warp out once, because I ran out of missiles ;).
The loot was nice for a change, on part 1 where you have to get the mercenary captain, he dropped a +3 memory implant and some other named gear :). Sold it off for 36mil.. Might have gotten more on escrow, but I just wanted to get rid of it. Seems I am pretty well off, isk-wise atm. Also finished my training for a retriever now, so I can mine comfortably in a barge.
First low sec mining op as a miner in my osprey. Am working towards a retriever at the moment though ;). Am slowly getting rich (well for a n00b anyways) with all these ops !
Came across this sign while doing a lvl 2 mission :). Have to admit that i had to warp back to base, because the thunderbolts of the bad guys ate through my caracal’s shields. Once properly equiped with EM hardeners, I kicked their ebil asses ;).
There is a new post on the devblog about the upcoming Server Cluster Revamp, let’s hope the lag will be decreased in the HQ’s homesystem. Though it has been a lot better the past few days !
Last night was an eventful one ! My first low sec mining up landed me my first pvp kill. Our miner was attacked by a lone kestrel in 0.3 space, he was soon taking care off my my ferox’s missiles and Kikuko’s rifter fire. What was he thinking ? He was also carrying some skill books, not the smartest thing to carry stuff like that around when you go pirating. Anyway we mined quite a bit of Kernite, the payout was nice ;). And yes I got my Ferox now, more on that later.
W00t ! Sold the harpy for 22mil. Had it on sale for 24, but saw a buy order a few jumps from Sobaseki in Nourvoukaiken (sp?), so I packed it up in my Badger I and brought it over there. Put up a buy order at our corp’s forum and hope to get a Ferox soon ;).
Last week I decided that my Eve Career needed a step up. Been playing Eve mostly solo, though the guys in the Eve Uni Corp channel have been very helpful, I felt like I needed to join an active corp in the Calderi part of the galaxy. Checked the eve forums and the recruitment channel for a while and for some reason this corporation looked really interesting, since I am both interested in mission running and the industrial side of Eve. Dropped by their channel last night and they were really friendly and funny, so I decided to join them. I am sure I’ll have a great time with these guys ! Their forums can be found at http://www.rakeriku.co.uk/
The game has been kind to me the past two weeks. Got a story mission that got me an implant I sold off for 12.5mil, so I could afford a Caracal and a Blackbird. Been mainly using the Caracal to run lvl 2 missions now (mostly for the Caldari Navy). Also got an offer from an agent to exchange a Hawk for a Harpy. The Harpy is now for sale at Sobaseki, hope it sells soon :). I now got the skills to buy a Ferox, just lacking the funds so as soon as it sells, I’ll be flying in that.
The war Eve-Uni was in, was a bit annoying. Basically the Forge region was very unsafe. I found that out while mining in a neighboring region (Ferent). I was chased by two of the enemy, managed to dock safely, but they hang out outside the station for over an hour ! That war is over now fortunetely.
