Golem down....

Strange it isn't on eve-kill.net yet. Yeah well on Monday 3 days ago I lost my golem...

IN A PITHS PENAL COMPLEX! Anyone who plays eve knows that some with my skill set should NOT be losing a golem in Piths. But I did everything wrong. I went in with out Kinetic resistances added to my tank. You see I fit my Golem with an omni tank when I rat in the asteroid belts in our home system. Basically I just slap an em resistance mod on (shield) and head to the belts. Well someone was selling a pith penal complex, basically the sell a bookmark to the entrance gate of the site. The drops are not uber, but well they add up, and its super easy to run.

Well what happened was I entered the last pocket......got distracted a few times, and instead of calling yogi to bail me out in her tengu....I basically blew up in 5 minutes. In Eve 5 minutes is a long time. Yogi could have raced her tengu over and gave me cover fire, even taking aggro off of me.

So we here are, I have the isk to buy another Golem...but none are on the market...so I guess I will have to use my vargur..

Making isk waiting Fozzie Sov

Yogi and I have been doing quite well for ourselves. We have not lost any major ships only frigates, when we deployed to the Nakah system. Our pile goodies is around 6billion isk, but the pile isnt very heavy so I will wait a bit longer till we offload it on the market. Actually right now Rattlesnake blueprints have dropped to 180mill per copy. I would like to see it go up to around 200 before selling.

We have slowed down our ratting recently and have gone back to probing (a reason why we are at 6 billion, last week it was 3-4 bill?), ratting is a bit riskier these days. It seems like wormholes especially thera wormholes are popping up all over the place!

This past week I think I only dropped 15 mtu's, last week it must have been 40-50 mobile tractor units dropped. So counting yogita's units as well, 2 weeks ago we must have dropped 80+. It allowed us to fill the second of our large warehouse containers (250km3) and that was when I melted it all down. We are sitting on a nice pile of minerals (2.4-2.5bill worth). I am not figuring out what to build. Its enough for 2 more carriers, with some left over to build fighters. Its enough for an orca, and 1 carrier (plus fighters), or 1 rorqual. It enough for one dread as well.

With Fozzie Sov coming constellation defense is going to become more important. That means having carriers seems like the best choice, I expect combat losses of capitals between yogi and i to go up so more back up carriers is a good thing.

Well we wll see..
