Entry: Wow

So I’m finally mostly back to normal now after the system upgrade and I could catch-up the books…To my shock, I’m showing a book value of 796M for my net worth! I know that the lifting of ore has been pretty much non-stop but wow…really? Fun fact: if I refined my ore now, I’d have enough Mexa to make over 1600 Tristan Frigates…!

Other than that I’ve spent my time just locally and in the adjacent systems running data/relic sites, a bit of LowSec mining and general mischief. I attacked a Mobile Depot almost two days ago with an Algos that I just threw together for the occasion and tonight it will become vulnerable. I hope there is a bit of a pay day there.

Thanks for the tips.

I'm not sure what CODE is but rest assured that I'm not going to become a full fledged pirate or something.

To liberate the ore from the miner(s), I'm using a tanked Miasmos with close to 11k EHP and yet is only worth less than 3M. Even if I lose it, she paid for herself with the first trip as she can hold about 8M worth or ore. Plus I'm guessing the miners wouldn't attack with drones as then their barges would be open to counter attack. They know I live in this system so the are probably guessing that I also might have something a bit more intimidating in the hanger. I do watch for mercs or other combat ships but it's such a sleepy little system, I've literally never even felt threatened by anyone, yet.

If it's a Highsec system, they most likely won't attack.

Wow. It's amazing that they'd just let that much isk walk out of the door without even changing up their storage strategy. Could those cans just be a small part of a wider network? The only way that I could imagine someone would be okay with a loss like that is if they were gaining a ton more ISK elsewhere...

From what I've seen, it's 5-8 Hulks and Procur'ers plus something I forget the name of picking up cans now and then. I'm guessing that it's more cost effective to let me take my 20-40M a day rather than have one pilot standing by in a warship not making any ISK. It actually makes sense even though it's kinda stunning. Shocked

(I just flicked my system monitor on and that crew is not around...that's a first in over a week so maybe something changed?)

Entry: Thinking of a move

I’m thinking about moving to LowSec to save on travel time and boost income generated. Faction War is on hold right now as I get my refining skills up and during that time, I’ve kept my eye open for a LS system that is quiet, has a factory and clone tanks. Plus it needs to have access to many other LS systems nearby for. I think I found one. The only down side is that it’s about 8 jumps to a major hub which isn’t really that bad considering that I hope to manufacture most of what I need.

Nothing really interesting to report from yesterday: I destroyed that mobile depot but there was nothing in it. Made about 10M from exploring data/relic sites and the usual ore pilfering.

Bit of a sleeper really.

Does he still have that Veldnaught?

Entry: Back and Forth

Sorry folks for not writing yesterday but I totally forgot to. Sadly not much to report other than the conversion of ore to minerals has started. I moved all my veldspar to a citadel with a good conversion rate and coupled with my skills, I’m getting about 71% so, not too bad. I’ll perfect my skills at a later date but right now those extra few percentage points aren’t worth the two weeks needed to learn them.

Currently moving my plag to the citadel but my god what a mistake not to have offloaded it there in the first place. Considering I have about 1.7M cubic meters of azure plag alone, that’s approximately 34 trips just to get the ore there…getting the minerals back also must be considered. Quite the blunder.

The lead miner of the corporation I’ve been liberating ore from started to chat with me yesterday. No anger as he knew exactly what the score was. They obviously would like me to stop but they also know that at the end of the day, I’m just picking up their crumbs. He wouldn’t say how much he earns a day but it sounded like it was in the 500M range. I’ll tone down the raids for now but when I see a bunch of cans grouped together, well, a little friendly ‘hello’ doesn’t change that much.

My blueprints are on their last cycle for improvements and should be ready in about 4 days. They won’t be perfect but pretty close. I’ll finish them off at a later date once I have a stockpile of Tristan and Imicus frigates.

Oh well, back to the to-and-fro I guess.

Bit of a funny day.

I flew to a nearby LowSec system to scan-down some sites but didn’t find anything of use except a wormhole that lead to W-Space. As I also wanted to find some high-end ore, I entered it with the intent to scan for asteroid fields.

So I pop-in, mark the exit and then de-cloak, firing my microwarp drive. Just after launching my probes, I saw a Sabre warping-in on D-scan so I promptly cloak and slow-boat in a new direction. The Sabre immediately started to run a pattern looking for me but by now I’m easily 125km out from the WH entrance and totally safe. Good thing as a second ship came to assist his buddy, a Brutix.

After puttering around for 5 minutes in vain, the Brutix zipped away leaving the Sabre who appeared to have entered the WH. It’s at that time I get a comms request from the Sabre capsuleer and we strike-up a convo. Nothing interesting other than the basics. After a while, he suggests that I join a corp down in W-space and that they are hiring. It was a pretty obvious ploy so I politely declined and continued to scan.

I pull in my probes and sit for 5-10 minutes catching-up on paperwork and correspondence all the while knowing that the Sabre is most likely waiting at the WH entrance or in LS. But as I didn’t find anything of interest, not to mention that the system was too hot to really even fly in. I decide to risk the trip home knowing that my beacon is right on the WH which makes the odds pretty good. I decloak, warp to zero and sure enough just as I arrive, the Sabre also drops cloak but It’s futile as I’m already entering the WH.

Back in LowSec, I hastily MWD away and cloak as I want to see if the Sabre follows. Sure enough, there he is. I wait to see what he does but as he’s 50km away, I drop my cloak, hit warp and say a friendly “Ciao” to my desperate friend from WH space. Can’t believe a 9yr old pilot spent 15-20 minutes hunting a new capsuleer flying a ship worth just 3M. Oh well….I felt good that I escaped that and I hope he felt silly.

The other funny thing (I’ll make this short) was an attempt to tackle a Serpentis shipyard in a Tristan. I actually was doing fine but it was taking WAY too long to kite the Cruisers. Two Tornados showed up and offered to help which I gladly accepted. We were done in about 5 minutes. Needless to say, I configured an Algos specifically for sites like that. Still a bit slow but much better than a frigate. I gave the Tornados captains a good chuckle though….

No idea of my net worth these days but I’m guessing it’s past 1B. I did a surprise ore “gathering” run this morning and netted 80M for 30m minutes of work. Silly….
