Teasing the Noob doesn't always work out

I got into a motorcycle wreck last night so that means plenty of time over the next few days to play Eve! (I'm okay and it wasn't my fault).

While I have not yet found another 350mil isk skill book, I have found something even better. I found a 4/10 DED Complex and it dropped a stack of high grade shiny mods to the tune of 1.3bil isk. That is split between me and my corp mate. I found the 'plex, he tanked the 'plex, I assisted him in clearing the plex, so we split the loot.

So I will gain about 500-700mil isk from the sales. I am quite happy. That will bring my isk earnings for the week to over a bil.

I have a little system loop that I do for scanning. Scanning isn't fast for me yet. I have to hunt down the sites, bookmark the entire system, hop a combat ship over, do the site and open the containers while keeping my eye out for local and such things. Then drag the items out. I'm willing to take the smaller sites that others ignore.

I was in my alliance's home system scanning when I found a complex. I asked them if anyone wanted it since they were hovering about not doing much and it was right in their system. They said sure because it was named Dirty Site and when I went to give it to them, said they were kidding. The site sucked and not to believe anything they said. Just good natured trolling teasing.

Teasing. I know I'm the only one excited about my new skills. Still, just say no thanks. That's fine, I learned my lesson and didn't offer them anything else.

At the end of that scan the 4/10 complex popped up at the same time my corp member whom I did a previous 4/10 with came up. I asked him if he wanted to do it and he said hell yeah. So we cleared it and popped out with a 1.3bil in Type A and Type C mods.

I am very, very glad that I am getting into scanning. Word is that CCP is going to nerf NPC loot a bit. They are dropping drone minerals and replacing them with bounties. Bounties may be cut across the board (I'm expecting it). There is rumor about lowering the tag amounts at the LP stores and they are going to take T1 mods out of drops. All this means that my salvage income will tank a good bit.

Thankfully I am advancing. I am enjoying the fact that I can do more for myself when it comes to my income. I was not earning very much when I was running missions. I've not put the time into running level 4 missions because I have so many other things to do. The exploration thing works quite well for me with a little bit of thought. Some, I have to skip, but all in all I'm easily pulling 50-100 mil out a day from the sites. Some days, like today, I find nothing. I did find two in my home system. One I could not do alone and one that someone else had started.

But I'm sure I'll find something and even if I do not, that is fine as well. It can't be every day which is what keeps it interesting.

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

Memoirs - Part Seven: The Taste of Scandal

Virtual Realities: Memoirs of an internet spaceship politician by Sugar Kyle CSM9, CSMX Viewers get some drama Is there any election that is scandal free? Virtual space politics are not excluded. Sometimes the scandals come from the people ruining. Sometimes they come from outside of that. “I can’t wait to enjoy the drama!” someone had said to me about the election. Those words would haunt me later as I fought not to be caught up and defined by the decisions another person had made. While I played the game and tried to convince people of my worthiness a dark drama was sweeping across the game. The CSM does not dictate game policy. CCP does that. It does not stop many from seeing the members as vocal representatives. It was a public post made by one member of the CSM that started a fire that would take years to go out. Eve Online is an interactive video game with few social rules. It is one of the games charmes. If you can trick another player into making a po

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
