Errand Girl

I got offered an errend to pick up faction loot tonight.

My CEO, a firm beliver in le lazy and da slacker mode of lifestyle was not in the mood to renew the contracts on stuff that wans't selling. He decided to drop it all in the corp hanger and asked me if I'd go and nab them.

For some reason I like hauling. Its oddly productive. Really, its the same reason I like mining. So, I jumped to it.

The two runs ment a trip to Jita and a trip to Rens. Also, along the way he decided he wanted some Medium Trimark Armor Pump II.

On the way to Jita I was side tracked to help chase down a small gang. We chased them through three systems and around the third for about twenty minutes. They were a Hawk, Hurricane, Rupture, and Drake. They *ran* from us. A Drake and a Rupture. Now, truth was we had a Machariel to drop on them on the other side of the gate depending on how they engaged. However, we couldn't get them to engage on a Drake and a Rupture. It was very sad.

After screwing around with that, they left system. We bailed and I continued my run to Jita. In Jita I went to pick up the rigs (the Trimark armor pumps) and discovered that they cost 67mil each. It made my eyes cross. Spending isk does that. Earlier, someone asked me why I was hoarding isk. I said it is simply because I want to be filthy space rich. One of my corpies reminded me that if I fell into a pond I'd drown under the weight of my current wallet.

400mil later, I was headed out of Jita and back to my high sec base. I decided to decrease my risk by unloading there before I went to Rens for the second half of the load. At Rens I accepted the second contract and headed back to consolidate and head to low sec.

Monday night is a good night for this type of thing. This is how I wandered into low sec.

Somewhat blinded by the glimmering and sparkle emitting from my cargo hold, I managed to make it to the corp base and unload everything. My CEO loves me enough to reimburse me for the trimarks before I even handed them over. I am glad I did turn into de explosion on the way to drop them off.

  1. Holy shit officer stuff.

  2. Hoarding money is probably more productive then my method of buying whatever strikes my fancy that day and then just letting it collect dust later in a forgotten hangar.

Maybe one day!

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

And back again

My very slow wormhole adventure continues almost as slowly as I am terminating my island in Animal Crossing.  My class 3 wormhole was not where I wanted to be. I was looking for a class 1 or 2 wormhole. I dropped my probes and with much less confusion scanned another wormhole. I remembered to dscan and collect my probes as I warped to the wormhole. I even remembered to drop a bookmark, wormholes being such good bookmark locations later. My wormhole told me it was a route into low sec. I tilted my head. How circular do our adventures go. Today might be the day to die and that too is okay. That mantra dances in the back of my head these days. Even if someone mocks me, what does that matter? Fattening someone's killboard is their issue not mine. So I jumped through and found myself in Efa in Khanid, tucked on the edge of high sec and null sec. What an interesting little system.  Several connections to high sec. A connection to null sec. This must be quite the traffic system.    I am f
