Level 4 mania!!

We made 40-50mill isk today!! It was so awesome!!! We ran so many level 4's. Now our sp are much higher...I have about 10mill, and Yogita has about 9mill. Which means our dps, and shield tanking abilities, AAAAANNNND armor tanking are through the roof. Usually in the past we would hope one of the higher level or more veteran players where online so that we could run a level 4 with him. Well thanks to him we learned a few pointers....and I mean a few. We learned what he knew from the wonderful internet. We could find all of the details online on what targets not to hit first and what not. Most of the people who ran the missions did it solo. We have a battle cruiser, and a battleship. We are kicking ass....left and right! So for a great saturday of eve level 4 running.....YEAH!

We are industrialist well...miners, so we are at the bottom the industrial pyramid.

So now we are mining.....we still make great isk mining....might be time to expand our little corp...the universe awaits!!

T.O.A

Now acting CEO of T.O.A

It has been quite exciting actually. We have finally unlocked level 4's. I have found that yes they can earn a nice bit of isk, at our sp levels, we can not finish them fast enough. Worlds Collide was so nerve rackingly exciting. My Typhoon class Battleship and her crew did extremely well! I think special note should be given to the Engineering crew. They got her out of that dead space pocket after we loaded up the trapped civilians. We had a hard time getting up to warp speed. The entire pocket had unleashed all fury on us. We were able to escape with only 30% structural integrity field. One more cruise missle would have finished us!

We are now going back to the basics namely mining for isk, using those funds to outfit our ships, then on to level 4's for PVE fun! I am thinking about building a Null Sec fund. Buy some cruisers, or battlecruisers, go in have some fun bashing rats until either our cargo holds are full or we get ganked. Hopefully we will do some ganking!

Corps.....

Eve is all about your corp! You can not play this game alone. You need a team of people working together. The most powerful ships in the game are known as titans. Basically they are like HUGE stations, with massive damaging doomsday weapons. Whole fleets have been decimated from these weapons.

To skill up to use such a behemoth takes allot of time. Almost a year, while building it can take 3 months...not counting time to gather the components. I have read reports of players who have quit Eve after their titan was destroyed. In Eve most ships can be insured. For example I bought a Tempest class battleship for about 100,000,000 isk. However I was able to insure it for about 130million! Now once I outfit the vessel that can cost about.....70 million more isk. It is a minmatar ship so ammo can cost allot of dough...or isk. BUT if i lose the ship in battle (PVE, or PVP) I can still rest easy.....130mill will be returned to me.

Titans are a different ball game. Those massive vessels cost upwards of 50billion isk to build. And even more to outfit. Someone calculated in real life currency that it cost close to 5-10,000 dollars!!!!

BUT building one is a team effort! So to those to quit cause they lost this ship....shame on them. If you have a corp behind you....you can build another.

Ok more news: I have 2 pvp kills.....BUT 7 pvp deaths. Well....ships that went bye bye. Not my pod. I have been podded only once. I lost 2 hulks to Goonswarm's idiotic campaign to rid the Eve universe of macro miners. Basically these "bot" mining vessels (usually piloting a tier 2 mining barge the Hulk) mine for hours with out stop.

Hulks are awesome mining machines!!! You can mine about 20million isk an hour in high security space. Even more in low security or wormhole space!

BUT my hulk was targeted due to a massive which hunt for macro miners, who sell their ore then sell the isk for real life cash.

I hate goonswarm...a huge corp.....no it is a HUGE MEGA HUGE CORP. That takes whatever it wants. That is eve......you have to be strong to survive! The weak will perish!

I have lost about 500million isk in ships. But I will not bitch about it. I will make 1billion isk.

Eve pics!!

These are some mining op pics. Basically we are mining huge amounts of ore to fund our POS and our personal fleet of ships. I will buy and outfit another hurricane soon. They are great ships just want to level up more gunnery and missile skills. Mining can be very fun. Basically a group of high grade mining ships get together and clear entire belts of ore. It was awesome. This belt had huge rocks spaced very far apart. But we grouped our talents...and poof poof poof. We dominated. LOL Eric would love that phrase. We made a killing! I will soon have enough money to buy an Orca.

Ok well it is late...

A POS in our near future!

Actually we have a medium tower now. I hope that we will be able to go into wh space with it. For now we will be upgrading it. It can be a safe spot for us, as well as a point to store items. I will research and ask our CEO what the full implications will be. Right now I am working piloting, while saving up for an Orca.

The Orca with the skill set I plan to have will be a super duper hauler (I plan to get Orca up to level 4 for cargo bonus), a mini carrier or ship transporter. I can go a system high in a certain ore that I need. Get in my Hulk class exhumer mine away filling up the corp. hangar, plus main ore hold with ore. Then fly to another system where that ore is in high demand, and sell it there.

I still have like 16 days left, and I might need to pause skill training to train up other ECM skills.

Ok I will post some pictures here later tonight.

The loss of a fortune.....

Well I was on top of the world...no universe. I had about 200mill in isk, and perhaps about 170mill in ships and modifications taken from me in one swift blow! Someone flipped my cans, warp jammed my ship...and blew it up.

However, I did get revenge....I was able to get him the help of Yogita, and our ceo. I had to use all of my funds to get yogita a bs we now have 2 tempest class battleships. I do not agree with Yogita's well rounded approach when it comes to fitting her ships for combat. I prefer a more straight forward focus strongly on one aspect for example...long range....long range guns, and missiles. I will soon train up cruise missiles.

However, Yogita strategy helps her stay in a firefight and do better in pvp.

I got my first kill today....and well...I feel good about it. To the fool who got lucky.....we will get you and your tiny corp!!!

Skill plan!

Well we are having a nice time in our new corp. So far we have not been on any big mining ops. We did do a lvl 4 mission with a corp member...uh actually the ceo's alt (oriflame).

It was SWEET! I made like 3-4mill isk.

Since then I have been running my lowly level 1 missions opening to unlock level 2's. I need about 110,000,000 isk, for my exhumer. I want the hulk. It is the largest tech 2 exhumer out there! BUUUT the skill book is like 25-30,000,000, and the ship itself is like another 100-105million!!! Currently I have about 25millions isk, plus perhaps 7-8million in ore. So...I have a long road ahead. Mining is good actually but I would have to do it everyday.....boring. Salvaging is good money. I hope to have another 5million in cash (isk), by the end of the week. While doubling my ore.

On an off note I really need a freighter. I have about 4million units of ore, in a system where the price sucks. If I had freighter I could load it up and travel to another system and sell it there. BUUUUUT they are expensive.....800million isk...

Ok I gotta go~!

tata!
