Yogi 100billion isk!!!

Well, actually we hit 2 milestones. I amassed over 12 billion isk in minerals allowing us to build a massive fleet of canes and a support cruiser...about 10 of them. The support cruiser will be used to defend our space against small ships. The canes will be used for larger threats. I want to get my hands on a gnosis bpc or even bpo. We love that ship. We have done really well with it as well. So next good wormhole to highsec I will take it and bring in t2 bpcs and t1 as well. We can build our own pvp ships now...it feels great!!

Yogita has reached 100 billion isk. This milestone is very important as we are our own srp. SRP stands for ship replacement program. In Eve you will lose ships. With a SRP your corp or alliance will replace the ship you lost.

I think this is great for people who do not mind playing the meta. Yogita and I have helped home defence fleets destroy enemy fleets because we fit mods that reduced the enemies locking range.

When you play eve you learn that ships when fit with the right modules can wreck enemy ships. The issue with the meta is that many people learn what your meta is. So they can block it. It reminds of the days when we would use massive drake fleets. The Drake is a battle cruiser that uses missiles. The enemy used smart bombs to blow up our missiles before they could hit the target. Fleet after fleet we saw this. So yogi and i changed our fits we would hit small ships like frigates destroyers and cruisers. We had loads of fun doing this. However SRP works like this: you must use the fits that your alliance leadership has agreed on. Screw that!

Now that Yogi and i both have 100 billion isk we can do what we want!!

PVP action coming this Saturday!

Yogita and I enjoy watching eve online PVP videos. So we have decided to set up a roam of our own. We will bring a command ship, and a heavy assault ship. Basically, they will be active tanked with resistance to certain ships that drain energy. This will allow us to engage a wider set of targets. Small gangs of 5-7 ships we can wipe them out. Larger fleets we can reduce their numbers and die in a ball of fire and glory.

Blobs that is 20 or more...we will die very fast we want to avoid that if we can. Our plan is to raise isk for this all of this week. Then buy what we need and fit up our ships and head out! I am thinking it would nice to use a low sec wormhole. I will post an after action report here perhaps next Monday.

After work...it is...MAKE ISKIES time!!!

War is coming....gotta grab those minerals and build capitals!!

Goons have stated that they are going north. Well, we are going to ramp up our mining and ratting. Later we will start building capital hulls. We have to be ready. With my Rorqual and Yogita in her hulk, we can mine quite a bit. Together we do very nicely. We have about 10billion isk worth of ore that needs to be turned into capital ships, battleships, and battlecruisers. This way we can actually replace our lost ships using insurance and building them ourselves. I am hoping for loads of Goonswarm capital killmails.

Eve is nothing without conflict. The leader of Goons doesn't even log in...lets kill so many of his servants that he must. This war of the north will not be lost due to leadership worrying about the killboard.

Yogita and I raise our battle flags we are ready!!

Update!

Well, we have been going pretty steady building up mineral stockpiles and I am almost 50% of the way to breaking even on the Rorqual. Once I am at about 120billion isk with billions in minerals we will be going on daily PVP roams. Just Yogi and I. I think we can start at the end of summer. I am thinking Yogi in a vagabond and I will fly a command ship. I already have fits both will be kiting fits that brawl as well (with short range ammo). They will be bling as bling is SO cheap these days. We will fit many ships perhaps 15-20 each. The command ships will be expensive because we can not mine moon goo yet. Even so, we will insure each ship before our mini roam and we might even go on twitch. Basically, invest a nice pile of isk, blow through it then build up isk again and go out and die in a ball fire. In time we will get better and will die less as we adapt our strategies will change.

So for now we are still in build up mode. When moon fracking goes live we will be taking advantage of that to lower the cost of building t2 hulls for our pvp.

Ok time for some afk Ishtar ratting!

Rorqual time!

Yep I finally did it. I bought a Rorqual and took it out on its first mini mining op. One thing I will likely always do...I will never mine with other people other than really close people I trust. Also I will not let anyone know that I am mining. I used to go fleets in the past and we would gank carriers, and mining fleets. Spies were always used. Spies get paid nicely to provide targets. A Rorqual is like a massive mining station. It actually transforms into a mining station while you mine. Now here is the catch while in this super mining mode (about 2.5 times more yield that the hulk), you can not move.

Each cycle on your industrial core lasts 5 minutes. If you cycle your core once the ship will transform to its normal state losing the super mining ability with its billion per unit drones. So say your mining in a belt with loads of people they can actually time when your next 5 minute cycle will begin...meaning they have 5 minutes to let friends know exactly where you are! My solution is not perfect but I can not help but try my best to stay safe.

I actually love the on the edge of your seat feeling!

100 billion isk!

So I finally reached 100billion isk in my wallet. Of course this really is pennies when a titan cost about 100 billion for the hull alone. However it means that I am getting close to my goal. To be able to pilot Rorquals lose them and buy more or build more. In eve we have a saying....do not fly what you can not afford to lose. Yogita and I really take this to heart. We did not start regularly using our carriers until we had about 20-30bill backing us up if we lost one.

It is funny because while I crossed the milestone I lost 3 mobile tractor units. We have about 30 of them between us. That is not enough for a long stretch of ratting on the weekend, or on a holiday. So I will build a some more in a couple of days.

Soon yogi and I will be known in venal as the couple who rip things up, or gets torn up. But in order to do that..you need isk...a lot of it. So we can burn through 8-10 billion in ships and then go back to pve mode and make 20 billion isk.

All the while getting better and better at pvp!

I think Yogi has 86 or 87 billion.

Jita pile is at 11 billion isk.

Long 5 day weekend results...

Well we had a nice long weekend, and we had to cancel our camping plans. So while watching movies, and relaxing at home we tried out our version of the afk Ishtar.

We set it up to only run forsaken rally points which can escalate to 8/10 class DED sites. We made loads of isk doing this! I think I made well over 1.5billion isk off the little ship slaving away in anomaly after anomaly. We also have loads of modules pulled from the wrecked NPC ships. As of right now we have over 1.2 billion in minerals from modules, another 2.4 billion isk worth of minerals. So we did pretty darned good.

Yesterday which was a Monday night we managed to drop about 30 mtus each. We also have 2 8/10 sites to run tonight. Isk is rolling in!


However we did have a bit of pvp we lost our beloved Gnosis class battlecruisers as well as a Hurricane. We managed to kill a few ships as well.


I am now training for Rorqual 5 (Capital Industrial ships level 5), then after that I will train for the P.A.N.I.C module. I will explain what that is in about 6 weeks time.


Fly dangerous!!!

Oh we both lost a core gen implant set....but who cares we have back ups of back ups.
