uh oh...

Ok so I am now in a new corp, that is very pvp intensive, and many people had to move some war assets to low security system. That is all fun and dandy. BUT my POS is lost. Due to my stupidity I did not un-anchor it, it was left in the old corp. When it happened I could not get past the shields. Then I realized my 300mill isk mistake. DAMM! I mean pirates, or a rival corp, or alliance did not even blow it away (which would taken time and effort I DID!)

Oh well at least I found my industrial ship safely sitting there, anyone could have hopped in it and took it. I guess it was not worth the trouble...I mean mammoths are only worth like 700k-1mill isk.

Update on corp activities, and as usual I will be vague. We have successfully relocated some key assets into the new system. Yogita and I will relocate mining assets there as well. Nothing too expensive. Can't till our corp / alliance has achieved its goals!

Recruitment channel

Its time.....we need more excitement while waiting about 6-8 weeks for our skills to complete. My carrier, yogita a tengu / or marauder. I think a tengu is better. My goals for this year will be to skill up for a carrier / tengu / and a load of manufacturing skills.

I did not list that in order. In order, first some manufacturing skills (reverse engineering sleep stuff from wormholes), then carrier (plus more drone skills!), then tengu, and lastly more manufacturing skills. I should be at 25mill +sp by then, and hopefully in null sec.

I have the recruitment channel up and I am going to actively look for a corp / alliance deep in null sec. That is were the real money is! I think early next year I will train up more mining skills mining in null is ultra sweet!

Well we have an update, there is a corp that wants to take us on board, and they are already in null sec. I think I will run the POS in its current location while, jumping back and forth.

Hulkageddon......3!!

Ok so here is the low down this is a player driven event. In lineage I have never seen anything like this. Basically all ships related to ore extraction, are being targeted and being blown away. Hulks, Mackinaws, Retrievers, and Covetors for exhumer / mining barge class ships, all haulers seem to be targets as well. Big industrials like Orcas, or maybe even the Rorqual.

Basically Exhumers are tier 2 mining barges. Their extraction yields are quite high, I can pull about 1 million work of highsec ore with a 17k cargo hold. If I use jet can mining I can earn about 10-12mill and hour.....no that is with Yogita, solo it is about half that.

Now Eve wide mining related vessels are being blown away. Even in high security space, so that means the aggressor will get his ship blown up he will do it in the name of this event. Basically miners who do not want to risk losing a 140mill ship (pre-hulkageddon), then end having to a: wait a while for the prices to drop, or b: shell out about 200mill for a new hulk.

I know some people have people protecting them but really, all they get are pirate kill mails, the people they are trying to protect.....will if they are targeted, get blown away.

So Yogita and I we have 2 covetors, 2 hulks, and 1 mack....total value 330 mill. We can cover those loses but really we are not lush with isk. So we have mothballed our mining ships, and our POS has enough fuel to sit out this event with out ice mining.

On a side note I am excited that we might end up in null sec, joining an alliance out there.

Of course the location, and exact details; if we are allowed to join will not be posted here. I will have to be vague at best. Eve is surprisingly hush hush. If I find a nice system with something valuable, it is best to keep it to yourself for as long as possible.

Ok well...signing off.
