Not much since last time....

Same'ol Same'ol since last time.

Eve Dailies on my main accounts(2), so 6 characters in all; Which isn't all that much extra to do on them as I'd be doing the P.I./Industry anyway. Faffing about with whatever character and activities seem to take my fancy at the time. From asset management, ship refits etc etc. 
 
 
Still I've got the bigger picture to keep working on as well as I've so many characters spread out over large areas of space. With hefty sides of Skill queue management. The game/game launcher is still having 'issues'...



Star Trek Online is much the same as Eve in regard to doing dailies/events, ship fits and character management. Far less work on Xbox than on PC but all ongoing. It's 'nice' to revisit an alt after a period of time away; Look at ships/fits etc and rejig to be better given more knowledge/experience or taste.. All part of the fun in both games.
 
For Eve I've more ship spinning faff in Gal space and with STO it's on console with my sudo-mirror universe character in his Nova. A ship that exceeds my expectations. Great little ship.

The Red Alert in STO on console went on until I mentioned it here and then they took it away.... Then it came back for a day as I could claim a reward..... Then it went away again.... So strange does happen.

1st of Nov
 
All said the Red Alerts are back on all platforms from November 7th to November 14th.... I'm sure the Winter Wonderland will be on soon enough after that.........
 
Both PC and console have the ongoing Halloween event as of now. I'm still baffled by the lack of player 'understanding' with regard to 'tactics' etc... Pick Up Groups are Pick Up Groups..... But still fun to be had with the event.
 

Staying with STO on console, my new character is still getting a lot of random Fleet invites, nothing strange about that; But the fleets themselves.... Less casual co-operation and more forced labour/extortion etc.... Even fleets that offer 'help' to players seem high pressure....



But then again I'm a casual carebear so each to their own. The broader player-base will shift and move the social experience. Just seems to be 'getting worse'. No wonder I like the consistency of being solo. For now it's a case of join fleet, check terms and conditions, leave fleet....



Mandragora has a demo out worth playing. A great looking game which has given me a lot of interest to see more. Not as fast paced as the likes of Deadcells(in an Elden Ring kind of way) but still of interest after having played it.



Euro Truck Sim 2 has been of ongoing fun as well. Even with the event personal goals done. Seems the Community goals are near.
 
 

I've been using the event to continue my 'faffing' about with garages/trucks/trailers and drivers.
Moving two less efficient garages to what should be more 'lucrative' positions. Time will tell. Time like using the event to 'just' truck..... With new DLC 'due' I think I'm open to a new personal garage and truck line setup....


 
 
Gaming goes on....
