Providence will burn!

....Um yeah so as the title states the Providence region will be purged. With Fozzie Sov that means it can be done in a few days. I really hope someone invades Tenal, Branch, and Dek that would be so much fun to head back to defend our own "castle" while another one is being burned!

We had 2 fun engagements in this conflict. We caught a command ship (Vulture Class) and I was able to loot, and successfully get 120mil in mods back to our staging system. We actually logged off in space with the loot in my hold...

Then two days later we engaged a medium sized fleet and bagged I think 5 or 6 more kills. It was nice, I looted only t2 mods this time.

My killboard shows 5 kills, I think we got another logistics ship. 

So we are finally getting some action. I splurged and spent about 1.4billion on ships and implants. I seems that a lot more ratting will be coming up!

We almost have 1 of our warehouse cans filled up (the capacity is 250km3) it has about 230k in it now. So I think a couple of months of ratting should fill up the second can.

Also our jita pile adding up.....5billion isk!

Time to create our own content...

I miss the days of ninja, lumbo, yogita, and I going on roams. I really miss our one command ship roam. Shot down so many ships....until we can got owned. All in all it was so much fun. I am really thinking about using our stash of ore to build battleships and roam through venal. Maybe get some kills, likely get killed ourselves. That is at the core of EVE. Lumbo is looking into market trading, make some big bucks....actually that is the number 1 way to earn lots of isk in EVE. The second is high end wormholes, while ratting/plexing is third. That is what yogi and I do. We rat use MTU's, and probe from time to time. Right now our jita loot is hoovering in the 5billion isk range...our ore we have about 4billion in ore stockpiled from killing npc pirates (rats). 

I mean it is enough to build a small fleet of typhoons, or tempests, and pew pew pew till we die. Then do it all over again. Perhaps dusting off our hulks and using our alts, who are pretty good miners too. 

I miss having those guys close. Yogita is still figuring things pvp related out. In a previous post I brought this up. The idea was to have fast reation ships at the ready. The problem with that is sometimes our anomaly just isn't finished yet.....I know we are greedy....LOL

Time to get out there and pew and fill this blog with the killmails!!

Parasitic Eve players

Ugh, sometimes it just doesn't pay to nice to some people. In  Eve you need team work to get ahead and make things happen. This is what occurs most of the time. Yogi and I met a player in our home system. Nice guy didn't know how to make money from anomalies. Tanking was his major issue, in addition to low dps it was taking him way too long. So yogi and I gave him some pointers. We let him tag along with us as we ratted in our carriers. We clear sanctums in under 10 minutes, and combined we do about 45-50mill a tick. Now with this dude joining us we knew he would cut into our earnings. 

Yet unlike most people, this guy started begging. For isk, to tag along with us ALL OF THE TIME. On top of all of this he actually got an officer spawn!!! So isk wise things were looking up. NOT. The begging continued. I got annoyed and then decided I will teach him how to make isk from probing. Then he could do his own thing. We could team up for the harder complexes. Well he would probe then expect us to run the sites for him while we split the loot....50/50 not in thirds. WTF?!?!

Turns out this guy is a RMTer he sells the in game currency for hard cash!!!! Right there I cut off the relationship. He soon "quit eve" after that. Now, he is back! If the begging starts I will send a letter to his CEO, if he mentions RMT activities I will report him. I had no proof the first time he mentioned it. I think he got scared and didn't want his account perma banned, or temp banned.

Eve it emulates real life in so many ways. I will not post his name here, but I will let his CEO know. 

MMO's can bring out the best in us, and the worse...

Summer heat slow down

This usually happens every year expect when we were working with Jay. Yogi and I slow waay down in the summer. It is just too damn hot. Even with an air conditioner its too expensive to just let your ac run all night or all weekend.

The result? We dropped just 1 mtu each yesterday. Then we headed to bed read for some time then off to la la la land. On the weekends I takes me ALL day to drop 12-14 cans. Usually I can do that in a 2-3 hour stretch. Rest, or go do something else and in the evening do it again. Sometimes to prevent burn out we split it up Saturday 12-14 mtus (24-28 total), and repeat on Sunday. This helps out the wallet in a huge way, and we end up filling our haulers every 2-2.5 weeks. Our haulers have a combined storage of 70,000 m3.

So I think it will take 4 weeks until we are ready to empty the haulers. This heat is crazy. I think I just might log on in a pvp ship in our HD staging system and wait for gangs. Leave heavy ratting for the weekends. At the moment we a are doing ok, but I have yet to buy more pvp ships for home defense fleets. I have 400 million set aside for it. I can buy a few cruisers, and one heavy attack cruiser. That ought to hold me over....

On a side note plex prices are closing in on a billion isk a pop. It sucks but not that much. Yogi and I can make a billion ratting if we spend at least 2-2.5 hours a day during the week days. We can do that in one week. However, we have alts so that stretches to 2 weeks.

People are speculating that when the citadels come to eve online plex prices will drop because people will flood the market with them (plexs) in order to build them fast.
I hope this happens too...

Time for some action!

So yogita and I are pretty good at making isk. But it is time for some more pop action. We have a nice cache of ships already, and we can import more especially to battleships, and battle cruisers. For specialty ships or electronic warfare rapiers along with Lachesis class recon ships we can really have more fun in hd fleets. 

Current inventory consists of dominix and tempest class battleships. We have no e war ships of note, really blackbirds, a Griffins.....we have these but we need to skill up our jamming skills more. 

The bottom line is this: Eve online is about player interaction. Once you get to the point where making isk to replace ships or making enough Isk to purchase fleets of ships it's time to enjoy the best thing eve has to offer pvp! 

Yesterday in branch a fleet of sacrilege class heavy attack cruisers attacked and killed a few ratting ships. Yogita and I were in the area trying to complete a maze escalation which netted us about 350-400 mill 😏). While warping through a system I think it was bkg I saw a fight I just could not take part in. My tenge just wasn't pvp fit. So....it's time to rally our ships, more and more incursions into branch are being made everyday thanks to wormholes. I'm bored of the massive fleet fights, although I am ready to join a fleet especially to save an alliance asset. Eve still needs the massive fights, they can be fun, but the medium to small engagements are so much fun! Those sacrilege class hacs? They all got destroyed but I am sure they had fun doing it. Besides they did kill a few ratting ships. 

So I hope to post more links to kills and loses! 

Welcome branch!

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..
