I'm going to stick to eve gaming for most posts from now on and maybe do a more general gaming post every once in a while.
My rl friend and in game wingman hasn't returned to the game since his assplosion in lowsec. Pity as he would have replaced his losses with one night and a few missions.
I've been playing about with all my characters at some stage, I'll try and fit in as much detail as I can without waffling on for too long.
My Null alt had a massive amount of semi-afk mining, making a lot of ships and modules that have been added to the market. There will be a lot left over and I'll have to deal with that once they are not sold. But there is a buyer for everything and relisting only adds to the margins. I'm in no way keeping a spreadsheet on cost v's reward in that department. A profit is rolling in slowly and in a way it is helping the alliance locals.
I've started to build up a hi-sec store of ships and gear for missioning, its a safe bet and a way of banking some isk outside of null. Other than Mining he has been doing a small bit of ratting on off moments from mining or when a system needs to be cleared to keep happy miners unhindered.
I was lucky to get an elite cruiser that dropped a module worth 100 mill. That will be sent to hi-sec and sold as soon as possible.
A bad thing was that I looked at a tengu fit in a chat channel and saw he wasn't that far off getting into one..... that's the skill plan in the air.... especially as I bought the books and shipped them into null. lol
I think I'd use it more for anoms than anything else and it would replace my so very slow Raven, then again it could repalce my ratting drake as well.....
Before I moved my drake in to take care of wayward rats I used a pvp(ish) fit frig to clear a few frig rats in a belt. I was lucky.... killed em.... but lucky... lol
My main wasn't on much and when he was he was supporting my second main who did some soe level 4’s.
I did a few of these again last night to see if one of the new burner
missions would be given and after 4 missions I got one.
I took my super perma-tanked Hawk Assault frigate which was ready and waiting. I was confident in the fit as I had gone through Cosmos area's without it flinching.
Once in the mission the burner frigate easily did 1500 m/s so there was no
running out of range.
Not that that mattered as the first second in mission saw
me being targeted, scrammed and webbed.
He orbited at 10km and on his first volley took half my shields.
Second saw the other shields and half armour go.
Third volley saw me in a pod. My repper barely made a dent in helping.
Mission abandoned.
I then scooped up parts of my fit that dropped and limped
home in an Ibis. 30 Mill loss for the
pleasure.
Thanks CCP.
HO-LE-FOOK are they hard! And the rewards are not worth it…. 400k isk, a few hundred LP and some t1 random module or scrap metal. That risk is not worth the reward.
But the challenge I hear you cry.
Ballsacks I say.
I like to have a fighting chance without fitting a bastardised triple repped ASB frigate.
I've seen this clip on youtube, a fleet of frigs didnt' dent the burner.... sod that lark.
My Minmatar alt has done some scanning and has setup a little base to operate from with an astero and a Wolf assault frigate. It's very much a distraction rather than any form of isk maker.
I did a combat site I found.
But the rewards were lack-luster.
In anticipation of the burner missions overall I purchased 3 hawks for my main and 3 more for my second main. Yet another for a my main alt. That's 7 hawks + fits. As well as a wolf for my Minmatar Alt.
8 ships minus the lost hawk = 7 ships.
The Minmatar alt can use the assault frig for combat sites etc so that's a use for it.
So... 6 Hawks all in a row... what to do ... what to do.... not burner missions that's for sure.
