Eating Crow

Last night, MetalWorks hosted a little corp roam.  Nothing hardcore; just Tech 1 Battlecruisers and smaller.  I got to the party a bit late.  By the time I got my real life stuff done and got in game, the fleet had claimed three Drakes (1, 2, and 3), a Punisher and a Curse. When I [ READ MORE ]

What’s in my hangar

Just did a quick inventory of the ship hulls currently residing in my hangar: Apocalypse Blackbird x2 Buzzard Caldari Shuttle x2 Caracal x2 Cerberus Cormorant x2 Crow Drake x3 Echelon Griffin Harpy Kestrel Kitsune Mammoth Manticore Megathron Merlin x 3 Onyx Raven Rokh Zealot Zephyr Total estimated value of the hulls is 957,739,381.71 (based on [ READ MORE ]

Bubble Up

Today, I’m a bit over 2d 15h away from having Propulsion Jamming V. Bloody level 5 skills. What a pain. Anyway, I’m continuing my efforts to train for hulls that my alliance will find useful. As with most alliances, we have very frequent CTAs, and those CTAs call for specific ships as a priority. As [ READ MORE ]

Zealot, finally

When I last wrote, I was in the process of switching things up a bit, and branching out beyond the fleet of available Caldari hulls. I picked the Zealot as my first major goal. Though I have Heavy Assault Ships trained, and can fly the Cerberus, the Zealot required a variety of foundational skills to [ READ MORE ]

“Last night a DC saved my life…”

Okay, a look at some basic stuff: Damage Control and its big brother (or sibling, if you’re all uppity about “genderfication”), Damage Control II . It’s described as: “Utilizes a combination of containment field emitters and redundancy systems to prevent critical system damage. Grants a bonus to resistance for shield, armor and hull. Only one Damage Control [ READ MORE ]

Progressing into HACs: Cerberus

As I mentioned a couple posts back, I recently discovered that I was basically a skill book away from flying Heavy Assault Ships (or “HACs” as they’re commonly abbreviated). Having now trained the appropriate skill book, I’m now ready to fit out my first HAC.  Being Caldari, and already having excellent (but not perfect) missile [ READ MORE ]

Optimizing my Revenue Stream: Better Ratting

Prior to this week, I hadn’t done any ratting at all in a good two+ months.  That’s not so bad, as I was already sitting on a decent amount of ISK, and I don’t eat much.  But recently, I just happened to notice that I was only about 3 days of skill training from flying [ READ MORE ]
