Some people are just really nice. That's the main lesson I've gotten from my mining experience so far. Several of my corpmates have been more than happy to haul ore, refine said ore, and even sell the minerals gotten from it for me, all at no cost to me. I'm amazed that people offer to lose so much time on helping me make ISK that they could be using for themselves.
Other than that, one of my corpmates has set up a fleet that he lets me join whenever he is around. Since we have a PoS and he tends to just sit behind the shields whenever he goes away from the computer instead of logging off, that means I get an Orca's lovely bonuses almost all day long.
Other than that, I've almost collected nearly a hundred million ISK, the first time I've ever done that.
Now for some other random news.
- I can now fly my Hurricane, but don't come close to having the skills to fit it.
- I bought and used my first Tech II modules yesterday. Nothing very glamorous, just a few Expanded Cargohold II's to help out my Hoarder's puny initial 5,600 m3 cargohold.
- I got my first faction ammo off of a rat when I was flying around the belts in a Rifter.
- I learned how to use the scanner to find exploration complexes. I'm not sure what ship I should use to do them when I get around to it, though.
Not much else to say for the past couple of days. I'm downloading the new patch right now, though, and that should be fun!
Focus on the support skills before getting into a new ship.

Yup, I know that. Just because I can board something doesn't mean I can fly it. Worry not, I don't intend to be using that thing any time soon. But it does look amazing ... I doubt any duct tape was even used in its construction. :P
DeleteThanks for the link though. I still need to train many of those skills, and seeing that explains why some of my ships are having capacitor trouble.
Try googling the names of the complexes you find. Often times you will find some good data on it. The radar sites have been changed a little however. I ran 3 the other day in 0.0, and the information was a tad out of date. Most of the loot was the same as stated, but I also got an inferno module BPC #_# . It's a 25 run xlarge shield inferno booster with 25 runs. The ones with the most runs on contract in Jita (and there are only 3-4) range somewhere between 300-500 million for a 15 run BPC.I'm thinking mine is closer to 800 million worth in that case.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I haven't actually done any complexes quite yet, as my time has been occupied by mining. Three people in my corp have near-perfect Orca bonuses and leadership skills, and I feel it's kind of stupid to waste those bonuses when they're available.
DeleteI'd make sure that whatever you can produce from that BPC isn't worth more than the BPC itself before I sell it. Twenty-four X-Large faction shield boosters might be worth more than 800 million (assuming you keep 1 for yourself.)
