Money matters.......

In eve the main currency is call isk, or interstellar kredits. I think its a cool name. However, there have been some changes made in anomalies that might hurt our wallet.

You see you need to scan down both anomalies, and complexes, to really make isk in null sec.

Complexes can net you 100mill to 1billion isk. Anomalies it depends on the type, but the best can net you a regular 40-60mill (depending if a dread class battleship spawns, that is counting bounties not module drops).

However, there has been a change in the anom system. Before you upgrade a system, and then install system upgrades that allows for nicer anomalies to spawn, and there are even upgrades that can give complex's as well.

Now....we are stuck with hubs, which give us 3-4mill per tick, with yogi salvaging in her golem, and me clearing rats in my carrier.

So here we are back in high sec with med ranged pimped tengu's clearing lvl4's left and right. To me lvl 4's are like hubs, with a nice bonus. I would say somewhere between a hub and a haven.

YUCK. I am making about 30-40mill a night. I far cry from 100mill plus loot. Oh and we are not salvaging missions. It takes too long, better to clear em out grab the bonus turn, and request another. Of course your at the mercy of what mission you will get.

I am seriously thinking about going back to mining in null. At least we get abc ore and Yogi and I working together....we can do very nicely. About 100mill in ore a night, which we can use to build ships (well, battlecruisers). So now I am training minni frigate to level 5 and will work on a covert ops ship, and get that to at least level 4. THEN go for upping my scanning skills another notch. This puts off my pvp training, I want to improve gunnery, and perhaps start working on getting a dread for POS bashing. Oh well...perhaps mid summer I will be ready for that project.
