EVE General Discussion

haven't taken one ;)

I just got off to a slow start

I found 4 Orthrus rats and a Barghest rat over a span of 3 days just after they came out.

Sold my shoes for Heliotopes. Please send moneys.

I scammed a few people & turned that money in to a reaction farm.

Still waiting for it.

I registered my acc way back in 2004 and played on and off for a short while but then I cancelled my acc.


If I recall, when I re-started playing in 2006 I quickly realised that mission running wasn't for me.

So I started mining which was pretty relaxing because I have a stressful job however I also realised that there were bigger fish to fry in alliance 0.0 space.

I mined in highsec so that I had enough to buy a battleship and that allowed me to apply for Pure. Alliance. That was my break.

After that it was like stealing candy from a child. Way back then high end minerals were extremely expensive, Morphite was like 15000 p/u, mega around 5k and zyd around 3k.

A few months in a true 0.0 belt and 3 alt accounts later I was pretty damn rich, rich enough to buy the T2 BPO's that I have to this day.

Of course, I continued the mining operations, bought a Rorqual and whatnot, even had my rl m8 join in with some more miners.

Nowadays I don't mine at all because it simply isn't profitable, so I invest my money in various items and minerals, pretty much 5-10b at a time, and hope they increase in value.

Yep, I don't do much research before I invest but everyone knows moon minerals, rare items etc always fluctuate so it's just a matter of time before it's profitable to sell them.

With that said I really hope for a mining renaissance where they overhaul the entire system. I suspect there's way too many bots and way too easy to run a mining fleet on your own which is the reason why it's become unprofitable and outdated.

Trust people, just don't trust them with your assets.

NEVER, always got into crappy corps where people couldn't be bothered to answer a question let alone help out. I did once get some help with isk but no ships, rentals, etc. Even in mining corps, would wait for the mining nights to begin and they would get cancelled. Jumped around a bit and now im back in Highsec, licking my wounds from another lame corp that cant protect its own miners, pisses everyone off and gets war decced every other day.

One day. I guess. But I only play this game off and on even though my toon is old. Just had a bad start and never really picked up after that.
