How does one turn cheese into cake?

I have a wheel of goat's cheese sitting on a barrel that will turn into munition in a year's time. Might as well turn that into cake, if you would share the method.

Neither, I think. I was talking about a get-together.

I live to be hilariously snarky,
honing my wit on the hulls of another mind,
Keeping myself in shape for the coming battle,
the battle of wills, in which I will win.

Don't diss the strip miners! Strip miners gave me the capital for my first set of frigates to start my privateering activities.

Even now, despite operating a small manufacturing business that keeps me supplied with ships even when I'm all out of LP (and I still haven't spent a single LP on anything offered by the FDU), I still go back to mining to unwind once in a while.

Or at least, I used to.

I do that with rigs, still can't kill a punisher with a strip miner.

Rigs can't kill punishers either, on their own.

But both strip miners and rigs (which is the nature of my small business) provide the capital to fit something that flies fast enough to beat their tracking or optimal plus falloff range and ram munitions into their overly sturdy plating.

Selling rigs can do the same, on top of modifying your autocannons. Less money ya, also less combat/exploration crews wanting to mutiny due to boredom....

I said 'both'.

Industry crew have a much different mindset than combat crew and generally will only mutiny if you start taking them into the combat zone.

ya, my problem is I don't have a industry crew on the pay roll, only a single exploration group for my cheetah and a pool of combat crewmen.

Call up your corporation's HR department and lodge a complaint if you ever get a Covetor and find that there's no industry crew for it. The corp's supposed to be handling that.

Theoretically, you can. But it takes a very, very, very long time.

At the moment my hr departments under my lead (the joys of a startup militia corporation), also I can only fly a venture which I so rarely fly I just use my exploration group or simply have a lottery for combat group crew members.

Well yes a strip miner can be considered a weapon in the same way the can of Quafe in my captains quarters can be. Ineffective.

Stripping Omega...... I have to agree with you Diana.
