Business as Usual

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

So the holiday week brought a few new things. I finally got back into the UNI after spending a couple weeks out to avoid all the wars. This meant a trek from Gallente space to Korsiki. I think I’ll call this home for a while. The proximity to Jita is nice and I’m just far enough off the beaten path that I don’t have to worry much about the yahoo’s that frequent the trade routes in this area.

Last night I finally had enough ISK to purchase my Obelisk. This is exciting because I no longer have to take the best price for my ore/minerals in the system I mine it in. I can now haul about 750,000 m3 to where ever the good prices are. My mining skills are getting up there now. I’m only a week or two from maxing my solo yield potential. Then my focus turns to production. I have to admit I’m looking forward to getting into something new.

My alt character has been missioning like crazy for the Federation Navy and now has access to level III missions but I don’t dare try one. I’m still working on the skills to survive a level II mission.

And so it goes.

Leaving EVE University

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

Last night, after nearly a year in the University, I finally said goodbye and struck out on my own.

I learned a remarkable amount for my time in the UNI about the basic mechanics of EVE but also about the harsh reality of war. I would like to mention a special thanks to Dee Carson, recently departed Director of Operations, and to Jen Loo, Irdalth Delrar, Lyris Nairn, Sumerio Rayej and a host of others who helped me learn about mining, trade and POS management.

So, where to now? Well I didn’t go far. I started my own small corp to hopefully grow into a large and prosperous industrial power. I also have the desire for some YARR. We’ll see how that pans out.

Foremost however I will be committing to some Manufacturing and hopefully some moon mining eventually. Both have intrigued me for a very long time but only now am I free to really give either a try.

Farewell, Eve University. You’ll always be blue to me.
