Out of the blue
Well it has been a few days since last udate. Have been busy playing.
On the weekend was having a bit of a mine in a nice quite sector when out of the blue I had my first in game conversation. Things went on and eventually I ended up chatting to a few members of a mining/industrial corporation name Mining Our Own Business. 24hrs later and I was a full fledged member.
Was not originally intending to go downthe corp route for a while yet, but these guys sounded good, currently only smallish and in a good sector for mining basic ores and were friendly. I felt that I could grow along with this corp and joined up.
After being accepted we had a good chat and it was arranged for a mining op to happen after downtime in a charitable jesture to boost my bank account. Well me and my brand new, but little Hoarder could not keep up withthe sheer amount of 3 dedicated mining vessels and by the time I had to quit for the night I had amassed around 10mill ISK worth of minerals, once refined.
Well I have never seen so much cash lol. Sure it is small bikkies ot players that have been around for a while but to me it was like Xmas had come. And you know, I still have most of that cash as I am at a loss at what do to with it all lol
 Jonah I: My new logistics vessel off for another load of ore
Current plans are to save and invest in skills unitl such a time as my training has allowed me to get a Minig barge at the least, or an exhumer at the most. Then watch as the isk rolls in :)
Then finally, with a decent money earning base to work form, I can begin the long and expensive process to full industrial operations, especially when the corp gets its own POS.
Anyhoo, thats about enough for this update. I have also been trying the new Day Of Defeat Source Beta, but am reserving judgement for now.....

23/5/2008 - Rocks Rocks and more Rocks
Get your rocks off baby!
I've read criticisms of mining in eve being quite boring, and to be honest, at lower noob levels it is, but that is about all I been doing the last couple of sessions. It gets quite frustrating having access only to ships with a lower hold space, but am gradually working up to larger vessels.
 My Probe 'Clementine 1' mining in Alf
While that has been going on I have been reading and researching all things Mining and Industrial for later in my career, which will hopefully involve full POS with refining and manufacturing facilities.
I have yet to register a Corp but that will be a while off as a:) I am consistantly broke lol and b:) I'm not game enough to become offciall without a few friends.
I also haven't decided ona name or home system yet, much more exploring to be done yet, which should be fun.
PewPewPewPew!!
Tonight is friday, and therfore it is fun night on the TOG DOD:S server. A new map has been uploaded - dod_subterrainia, available again from Sunlit Games or simply simply download as it loads on connection. Feel free to join in, it is not exclusive to TOG and a full server is chaotic fun :)
On another note, our server is brand new and may experience some teething problems. Any feed back is welcome on your experience and can be left here as a comment or conact TOG via the site The Older Gamers.

17/5/2008 - Latest Adventures
Welcome to another little update/rant on my gaming fun. First up we will do Eve methinks...
Ah Frigate!
Well after the previous loss of my Rifter, I have been pottering around in a probe and just doing mining with the view to eventually get an Amarr Punisher.
That task is about done and the game is running now, just taking my probe back to another system before flying back in an expendable ship to transfer to the Punisher, which is sitting and waitng for me to fit it out with some shiny new zap rays :)
The punisher will be my combat/mission running/ratting ship for the moment and will fit it out as such. Will keep the Probe as a mining vessel until such a time as I can get something bigger, some sort of dedicated mining vessel. The Probe is reasonable I suppose, but goddamn it is ugly!
 The Probe: Eww aint it ugly?
The Minmatar are certainly not known for aesthetics that is for sure, but I like some of their craft.
I can fly destoyers, have been able to for a couple of days now, but am unwilling at the moment to do so, am working my way up to a cruiser, once trained sufficiently and can afford one lol.
Ok now I got to get back through some lower sec space in nothing but the rookie ship lol, fingers crossed.
It is a bit weird though, still flying about trying to get some sort of foundation to build on, but the game certainly does not appear to be one that brings much to quickly. I can't wait until I am in the position to set up some sort of personal POS but that is a long long time off yet.
Ok just picked up my Punsiher and am heading off the learn a few extra skills and but some equipment to begin its full fit out
   My New Punisher: Now that's much sexier! :)
Achtung Fritzy Baby!
Well even though Eve has taken most of my concentration and time this week, I still managed to grab some time on the TOG DOD server tonight. Played some fairly interesting maps. The latest version of Anvil is really nice, my first time on that map and it is well made, looks great and has many paths to fight along. You can pick it up from Sunlit Games, or simply jump on the TOG server when you see any of us on and ask if it can be changed so you can fast download it.
