Nice time with level 4..

We well we loaded and ship out to a system deeper in anmatar space. I made about 100mill isk with another 40mill in orders. Now total cash assets are at 875mill. Not much for what I want to do. PI is only a few days away, and I am very glad that we trained up a load of skills for it. We hope to take over 2-3 planets and look into producing. I need a more viable way to make isk, for pvp, and to replace carrier losses in the future. There is a guy that I know that has over 15mill sp in drones. He mines, fights, reps all with drones. The time we first met Yogita and I had to run to the station because a gang of pirates showed up. He baited them with another member in his corp, so that he could scout them....then......BOOM! Out came the Archon class carrier. Ah, what a nice day. It was really cool to salvage those ships. Carriers can not operate in high sec. They are limited to low sec. So I need a good isk making strategy. Mining is ok when we combine our efforts. Like we did for my Orca, and Yogita's maelstrom. Even now she is helping me in other ways for buying my first carrier. Now it is time to invest a little money in a probe....my cruiser class prober sucks....

New goals....

I have been doing some reading about capital ships and well there are 2 that have caught my eye. The carrier, and the super carrier. Wow they look awesome, and I am sure that pve a motherships 25 fighters (max skills) will be awesome! The major making me sit down and think, is this...they are pretty expensive, and make tempting targets for gank squads. I would need need a support fleet, or backup. Also carriers are used a support ships, the idea of a pure combat oriented carrier is very unpopular. Too bad. I mean look at how carriers are used today. They project the military might of a nation far from its shores. It is one of the major compenents of America's military strength. In eve...they are big and have really nice looking designs...BUT....they are only repping other ships, and many carriers are lost because, if a tank can not be broken, you break the healer...so 1-3billion isk carrier goes pop!

I want to have 3 or 4 carriers, for pve in low sec, or wormhole space. I want more than one because I expect to lose some to gankers. I remember this this really cool dude in a .2 system, and how he used an Archon class carrier, and wiped out a small gank force of 5-6 battleships. It was cool cause I was able to salvage the wrecks. From what happened in chat, the battle did not last long.

I am well on my way toward minmatar carriers. I am in the 16 days away from drone interfacing level 5, I already have minmatar bs level 5. A very useful skill too! My typhoon is the best mission running ship. Higly durable too!

POS ready!!

Ok so what is a POS? Basically in Eve you can have you very own space station. It can have fitting services, ore processing, reprocessing ancient artifacts that can be found in wormhole space. You can have factories that can used to build ships, or well all of the items in eve can build at a POS. Now a POS can not just be set up and your ready to go...no no. They need to be fueled, and there are limits as to what you can set up at your POS based on the CPU, and power grid of your POS.

A POS can have a number of defences, and electronic warfare modules for defence. So you can see that other corparations can attack and destroy your POS.

Now to set up a POS requires certain skills, and standings. Standings are something that can take a long time to build up. This weekend I was finally about to get my standings to 5.22 with Ammatar mandate. That means in systems with a .5 security status I can set up a POS. Well...actually I can't. The reason why is cause our corp. standings are only 2.22. This number is based on both Yogita's standings and mine averaged together. So basically if she improves her standings...we will go up very very fast in standings.

Ok..whew...some bad news...or perhaps good news....Tyrannis has been delayed until this weekend. So that gives me more time to build up our capital. Collectively we about 800million isk between us. A nice sizable sum..but....really it is quite small as some modules for say a carrier can run 300million isk!! So I want to build an infrastructure with about 1 billion isk. That can earn us a steady income. It would be nice to start making t2 modules, or even get into ship building. We could build our ships, pvp in them....blow em up and then start all over again! A large part of eve is pvp.

ok whew...
