First off…thanks everyone for the thoughts from the last post. Very much appreciated.

Hard to segue from that, I know…but I’m going to anyway.

Eve Online. What has been going on there? Well…Johanthan and I have been playing pretty regularly and we’ve mostly been doing mining together. A couple days ago, we managed to pull in about 10 million ISK in ore…each…with his Hulk and my Retriever. That is not bad at all. Most of the trit from my half went to production of drones and shuttles, which will turn into way more than 10 million ISK at the end of the day. The other great news is that my Mammoth can now fit a whole can of ore, so we are well set up for mining operations right now…but we have lots of room to grow and that is what this post is about.

Up to this point, my training has been about beam cross-training with the focus being a kick-ass Harbinger. With only a day left to go in that training cycle, I can now start to think about other things. I don’t know if I’ll buy are Harbinger just yet…but at least I now have the option to do so when the mood strikes.

I now realize, after the last mining op, that I will have to start the training plan for the Hulk. Looking at EveMon, I have about 23 days to look forward to for that. That gives me more than enough time to save up enough ISK to pay for the thing. After that, we’ll have two Hulks tearing up our (…new…) secret mining spot. The trit…at that point…should be just flowing and then I can start to really ramp up the production side of things. I think that is the way to go….until something more shiny comes along. We are also looking at the Orca as well to replace the Mammoth as the dump truck of our little operation.

I talked a bit about production, so what’s the status and plans for that. Well…so far, my production has been limited to drones and shuttles. I’ve been thinking of expanding the ship making aspect of this by trying Badgers or getting into the ship component side and trying Invul Fields. Both of these have been recommended to me, but so far I haven’t moved on it. Right now, it’s a question of getting a good supply of trit going and I think I might be over-reaching if I put something else in the hopper. Once the other Hulk comes online, then I will probably be in a good spot for expanding.

So…Eve keeps ticking away and the plans of what I need to do keep piling up. All systems normal

D out.
