Is there still life in our c6?

Well I found a nice high sec connection but it was very unstable and I was able to get 6billion isk to market so we all made another 2billion isk each. This isnt big money in terms of numbers, but the amount of time that we put into running the sites....this is indeed big money.

We can clear a site in about 35-40 minutes, plus 5-7 minutes for salvaging. Some sites take longer like 45-50 minutes. We usually make about 200mill each per site. Its a very laid back style of site running. We could make a lot more, but we are all very busy with jobs and family, so this laidback style is actually very nice.

Last  week I took about 3.3billion to market (chump change really), but at that time it looked like the wh might be drying up. However, over the weekend we saw that we had several new sites that spawned. We ran em all. The next day there were like 4 more that we like running and a really hard one we hadn't ran before. Well we did that too! Thats how the 6 billion was made. So all in all we made about 9billion. We invested about 6billion....not from our own wallets per say, but from deadspace mods we had stockpiled in branch from running the 10/10 escalations we got there. Actually we ran other escalations as well and stocked up quite a nice pile of loot.

So the isk we made it is nice, but I dont want to think about leaving until I am 60billion + in isk, and I am very comfortable running c6 sites. IF our corp decides to move into a c5, my team WILL be the go to people cause...we run c6 sites! We use only 3 ships and its pretty damm cool!!


So I am hoping that tonight that we get more Core Citadel sites, or Bastion sites very good isk to be made. My alt is trying to get into a stealth bomber asap to support alliance level siege fleets. Basically a siege fleet is a super cheap way of structure grinding with torp stealth bombers. Since my main is in the wh I need to comtribute with my alt. No...I must!

Living in a c6 wormhole!

When playing eve you very quickly learn that making isk the in game currency is very important if you want to be able to enjoy the game. Mastering this is very skill intensive but it's worth it later down the line.

We have run level 4 missions, raided c3 wormhole, to make isk. It was fun and very exciting.
We thought have a couple billion isk was great. It is or rather was. Now the price of plex and in game item that you can use in game currency to buy has risen in prices. No it has skyrocketed and looks
Like it will keep going up. Currently it cost about 630 million isk for 1 plex worth 30 days game time.


Well to fuel pimped pvp Lumbo yogi and I decided to do the unthinkable! Settle in a c6 wormhole. To make money off of the sites we use an archon, Loki, and a Moros. So far we have raked in about 3.6 billion in the handful of sites we have run. We are now going to figure out how to not "clear" the sites they last much longer that way allowing us to milk em even more.

Our corp maded plans last year to do this very thing....it failed. The corporation triad again and this time we ran one site but lost our webbing Loki in the next one......and need rescue cause Lumbo's Moros, and my archon were running low on capacitor.

That...was a c5 the second from most difficult wormholes to run. This time we upped the ante....and ventured into a well buried c6. And we adapted, and reviewed our fits from the experience gained in the c5, trained up even more and lo and behold we run me with no lost ships over even close calls!

My dream of having a large collection of pimped ships for small to medium sized pvp will be a reality. Perhaps a super carrier is in my future?

We plan to settle in buried c6 wh's on a regular basis as time allows. Null sec life doesn't really lend time to a more permanent presence. So hopefully we make our goal of 5 billion isk.


Below are screenshots of my carrier it tanks c6 anoms very well and in about 2 more weeks or so it will tank even better!

Dread time!

I have trained up for the minnie dread. Let me tell you this...it is quite time consuming but because I did...I can dread for the phoenix a bit faster due to both dreads using the same weapon system. Yogi and I both are ready for it. We will be relocating soon so that means we need to buy loads of plex and add a lot of game time to our accounts. I do not want to miss out on training due to our move. When we become fully active again....I will have trained carrier 5 or fighters 5....maybe both. We will see.... Isk wise yogi and I are doing well, pvp wise we are number 3 and 4 this month. I think next year we will have to look into getting alts. Mining and ratting even small time pvp will so much easier. Actually that is personal goal we have....to go in a small two person team and roam low sec......or even gank highsec carebears. ok time for bed... /tata

Back to ratting!

The time has come to stop blobbing and rebuild my wallet. I'm not broke by any means but EVE is a game where the unexpected can happen at anytime. For example in our alliance we have a really good FC who is at times a bit eccentric. However, he has spend almost 2 years in our alliance, defending our space, training new pilots, and giving people the opportunity PVP. We have a newer person who has risen in the ranks rather quickly (not a diffuclt thing to do as most leadership roles can be tedious in EVE), and he pretty much belittled the pilot who had 2 years of experience. That being said you never know when your position in an alliance can be taken, and suddenly you are booted from your corp. and your access to billions in ships and modules is lost. My solution to this possible evenuality? Have more isk than your ships are worth. If I get kicked out of branch, I can set up anywhere in game even though I have carriers, and dozens bc's exhumers, and tech 2 cruisers. The total estimated value is something like 5-6billion. Thats nothing because I have multiples of that already. Ok so i'm going back to ratting because 1.5billion has been invested in this war and I need to recoup that. I think I'm not the only person who feels this way. A ping came up last night (using jabber), and so few people showed up in fleet. I think people are becoming jaded with this conflict, in which the higher ups basically make loads of isk. so back to ratting! /tata

Sov warfare the real deal

Wow it has been some time since I have posted on this blog. Actually in EVE things have been quite eventful for the past several months. Firstly in the North the CFC have secured branch, tenal, and burned venal. We went on two other deployments in which yogi and I really got loads of pvp. We did so well that if you took our combined efforts away our corp would not have been at the top of alliance ship kills. This has led me to think more deeply about sov warfare. In Eve tech. which is a moon product (mined off of moons). Has driven the economy for the past 2 years or so. Even now with some recent changes to eve it is still important. Basically when systems are being taken, the real people who make a real profit are the ones in leadership positions (this includes people behind the scenes). They are the people who really make loads of isk off of sov taking. I am sure that they do this. The former head of our alliance made off with 30-40billion isk. So I am tired of leading the killboard charts, or being in the top 3 just to basically help those waaaay at the top make even more billions of isk. In Eve war is good for business. Some even in our corp have argued that srp (ship replacement program) is why we should join the massive blobs. I disagree. First while it is fun, in the end you have little too no isk. Your wallet might have 100's of millions in it but ships like battleships, and elite cruisers can eat that up really fast. Now of course those ships will be replaced. BUT what if suddenly your alliance is booted out of null sec. Maybe you have to find another means to make isk, with no srp to help you out. Now the higher ups can take advantage of such a situation and end up billions of isk in the black. Yogi Deci, and I have made our isk, and we will keep on doing so. I fly ships the way I WANT. I dont like going solely by the standard fits so I never apply for srp. BUT I get on loads of kills. I remember one tengu op where i modified my fit (interdiction null.) The FC a cocky dude make a stupid mistake....we got bubbled.....but yogi and I made it out. In other fights I have been able to target pain targets up to 100km away and get on nice frigate killmails. So for now I making the system work for us. But the moment someone tells me that can get us kicked out of the alliance...is the day we return to empire or another null region. /tata

Rebuilding the battle chest

Well we tore the southern alliance apart. One large alliance left and the remaining fools lost many ships to us. I have say that on some occasions they did fight well. I have 301 kills for month so far, yogi has 207. We will celebrate this coming weekend and give our crews much needed r&r. But now that we are home.....it is time to add isk to our war chest. For me I will simply get richer because I did not lose one vessel during our deployment. Yogi lost a couple of ships....insurance payouts well ships are expensive. Today I reckon we pull in 400-500million isk as a result of our ratting. Fly safe!

What a way to go!!

Talk about going out with a BANG and in a very positive way........the deployment is over and we r heading back home... Some of us (myself included) are already back and some of us r still making our way back... The journey is long and full of dangers lurking around the corner...but that is not the story I'm here to tell u today... As I sit in my comfortable captains quarters with a nice fire blazing in the fire place sipping on my drink and remembering our journey back home.... It was not at all what we had expected...I and my crew r unscathed but many other pilots and there crew got a few new scars from the skirmish yesterday..... We were all ready to go back home.... Our capitals and super caps loaded and ready to go .....when suddenly the enemy decided to camp us in and kills us.....but we truly showed them... We fought bravely( not me so much) and we spanked the enemy fleet.... They kept sending waves upon waves but our well seasoned brave pilots handled them.... I was dicking around fruitlessly so I got NADA but Jem got on a whole bunch of enemy kills with his Nid and some with top damage ... Anyways, now we r back home and the saga continues
