A New week and new Update.....


The usual skills and PI checks go on and were updated when needed.
 
Was on my main alt for for most of the week doing the rest of the Cosmos missions that were close to his location. 
In doing so I found that the rest of the missions were in a dead end system with a 0.4 system in between me and it, this bottleneck was teaming with gankers. 

Hemming and hawing I decided to bail on the Cosmos missions and try upping the level of the specific corp needed to get access to the epic arc (Expert distribution)
All the guides say I needed 7.0 rep with the faction, with current rep at 5.1 and no way to do the other cosmos missions easily I decided to run missions for expert distrib. On my way to move gear I stopped by the epic arc agent and he offered the first mission to me!!! I was Surprised!! But on checking the rep needed on his details it said 5.0!! Sweet! (I should have checked http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Caldari_Epic_Arc_-_Penumbra sooner). So I moved about some ships and gear. and set up a Raven, Buzzard and a Hauler (T1 Badger) in prep for the epic arc.
  
The war finished on Friday morning and the 24 hour cool down ended on Sat morning to allow for normal play.

My mains re-setup the POS modules and got the jobs up and running.
PI sales were good and with some other cash set aside I got to buy 4 weeks of fuel. I hope the next sell of PI and purchase of fuel will be so fortunate. No savings could be given to the mains for the PI sales except isk to cover costs of the PI changes and tax. 
The long term plans are to streamline the POS jobs/process's to run longer over a week or two and allow more time away from micromanagement.

Did some belt ratting with my Null sec alt but felt that I needed to do more to be productive time and isk wise. I really need to spend some more time training skills to benefit this activity. At the moment it is on par with mining.

Later on the weekend my main alt started into the guts of the caldari epic arc and has done well, including completing the run to the first low low low sec dropoff mission. It was a pain but 30 mill reward for a courier mission is good. The run in was quiet but a lot of wrecks over 3 gates was a bit of an indicator as to the activity in the area. 
That trip back out confirmed my suspicions as I had almost bumped into 2 sets of gate camps with two or three groups busy fighting each other, Thankfully I was not uncloaked and with almost instant cloaking and warping I made a hasty jump from gate to gate. 
I got through and warped away to hi-sec fast enough. Still nothing like the adrenaline rush and shaking hands combined with the joy of making it through alive to give a great happy feeling. The rest of the missions went well and brought in some good bounty and loot. To speed things up I will team up with another char to get things killed faster.

My main an engineer learned the lil new bad robot pet hehe, he is cool. Prices were all over the place on the AH so better to learn than sell. I did change other main a lock to be an new alchemist, dropping mining but I havn’t done a thing to level his new prof.

I still have a hankering to finish off the new xcom game, and to play a bit more of the older Rome Total War game.  SplinterCell Blacklist is all but done and I have found myself playing a few games of BF4 multiplayer and am getting my head around the way the game works and what to look out for.

More gaming to come!
