My Valuation

So, 11 months in and Command Ship V (almost) under my belt I've decided to ask what is my value. What have I turned myself into and how useful is it?

Looking at myself I find that I do not know. I've been playing for eleven months. I do a lot of random things but I don’t do any major thing. I’m self sufficient but not in an amazing way. I can fly Minmatar up to battlecruisers decently. I am terrible at missions. I fly two types of logistics. I’m not brilliant about fitting ships. I have absolutely no idea how to fit a mission ship.

I’ll define myself as average. I manage not to die most days.

Command Ship V is about to finish. For some reason it has been a very long slog to drag this skill all the way to the top.

Skills tend to give smaller rewards for their cost as they increase. A skill may give a 3% bonus per level. However if the 5th level of that skill takes a month to train the question becomes: “What cost is that 3% bonus?”

Command Ships is a rewarding skill to take to V. If I look at the actual skill it says, “Skill for the operation of command ships”. That Is not very exciting. However, the skill is not where I need to look for the bonus. It is the ship itself.


Command Ships Skill Bonuses:
5% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret damage
10% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret Falloff

Percentages count. This particular ship is now my money maker. It is my pewpew boat allowing me to clear sites faster and with less ammunition. It is as close to a blinged out mission ship as I will be getting for a long time (forever?).

If I had gone the path of Medium Autocannon Specialization V it is a 2% increase in damage per level and will take over 20 days to train. So, for a similar amount of time I got a 5% bonus. Eventually I will chose to gain that missing 2% as well. But everything is about time and time management.

This is wonderful and I am personally pleased with it. Yet, it does not raise my personal usefulness. I don't fly a command ship as a command ship. I cannot use nice links and other such amazing things. Therefore I do not wish to classify my command ship abilities to be any higher than they are. I have Leadership V but I have not spent any appreciable amount of time in the skill tree.

According to the Eve Character Appraiser:

Character Specials:
95.15% Combat
4.85% Industry
Has very low sec status..
Price: 3,555,222,749.43 ISK

Very low sec status.. pashaw... its only -5.3 or something like that. I guess I can buy me again if I needed to. If I add in the 2 plex transfer fee that bounces me up to being worth about 4.5bil on the Charater Baazar.

Maybe I shouldn't have run these numbers. :P

  1. Actually this tool is kinda outdated to evaluate a character. A one year old character (19mi sp) is usually worth between 3bil(terrible char with very few skills to level V) up to 10bil (Tengu char) and if you can work a little on your sec status considering that you are, i suppose, specialized in minmatar and that you have a nice kb you can probably ask for 6.5-7bil

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
