EVE-Blogs

Well here we are again. Sitting at the desk wasting what will probably be referred to as my best years, writing about a video game. I know I think Eve is so much more too. Don’t get me wrong what with the countless people to chat with, buckets full of tears to collect and whatnot. But there it is, its a game. Albeit a most amazing, capturing,mesmerizing game of all games. But a game none the less. So with that out of the way I push forward. (I felt that little touch with reality was a needed precursor to what was to come )

In this segment I talk about my most fave of all things, The Drake. I know its a bane of alot of pilots and the crutch of many more but hey lets be fair. What ship is better suited to run the constant Lvl 5 and come in under 70mil isk. I ask, no I plead for you to tell me! I only bring this up because I was vehemently questioned 2 weeks ago about my intent to once again push into another Lvl 5. Now I know I have touched on this in previous post but this is different. See before I wouldn’t bother to pay alot of attention to the mission guides and would have quite a few very close calls(and some right on the bullseye) resulting in what could only be referred to as a complete fustercluck of the huge proportion. But after slowing down and reading the instructions(comes in handy from time to time) I realize I can run my lvl 5′s solo. Completely, without RR. Yes even the nuet tower missions, Angels, Sansha, what have you.

Its what I have been doin those long months since my last post. I have actually gotten good enough to plex 2 ,count them 2 toons, doin it. Now I know there are those out there still saying a Battlecruiser can’t tank a lvl 5, and to you I say your wrong,damn wrong, way wrong and scared to try. I ask what is so special about a carrier or a gazillion isk BS to do the mish if for some reason you lose you may end up on the local news as Man/Woman/Child goes on insane killing spree! More news at 11. I mean seriously, If I get popped by the mish I’m out 70mil, if I get popped by assholes I’m out 70mil. Hell the cost of two ships alone still comes in under the cost of some modules put on these damn expensive ships. And it can’t be an efficiency thing cause guess what a 20 minute blitz is still a 20 minute blitz regardless of the ship you brought.

I will be posting a Fraps in the coming weeks of me running a mish from both the Serpentis and the Sansha Factions. I will show agent mish type and all relevant information so as to not leave room for doubts. I hope all struggling Lvl 4 pilots trying to gather the ridiculous amount of isk needed for that carrier or that faction BS will see how soon they can start making money and enjoying the game again. Because lets be honest, missioning is only slightly better than mining, and everyone hates mining. So until then freaks fly safe ,fight hard.
