Organization is Good

I am finaly getting around to organzing my BPO collection.  Up until now, I pretty much had all my originals in one can.  I separated the non-researched, partial ME research and partial TE research blueprints which was a chore.  All-in-all, I am pretty happy with the results.  I have so many BPOs not researched, it's a sin.  Any takers?

 

Munching on Anomalies

 Just a small anomaly, cleared it out in a few minutes with 3 Hulks and an Orca.

The only thing I don't like is that they absolutely TANK my FPS to shit, but they are beautiful.

Your Chariot Awaits

The biggest pain in the ass is traveling back and fourth to mission hubs and my industrial hub.  I like to do it in style.  I love the look of the Breacher and I love the 7au and sub 2 second align.

If you don't have a ship that travels fast and you have a more than a few jumps to your different hubs, I suggest fitting out a frigate with some agility modules to do your traveling in.  Saved me a ton of time and aggravation.

 

As always,

Production Incoming

 I'm getting back into production again.  I missed making stuff and making ISK.

I've started doing more faction manufacturing from LP items.  If you want to make good easy ISK, I would suggest going that route.  You can get pretty good margins on quick-to-build items.

My Mission Runner

 My favorite mission runner, the Vargur

Switching Gears

An ice anomaly popped up so I switched gears and changed out my fits.  Ice mining is relaxing too.  This game is so beautiful.  Look at this ice field.

Anyways,

Fly safe

Missions Are Still Fun

 So, I've been running missions with a friend.  Vargur and Golem running lvl4 missions for Gallente in Amarr space.  It has been a hell of a fun time with two Mauraders just plowing through rats.  I highly recommend.  I'm building up LP and spending it on blueprints to manufacture faction stuff, so it's got an industrialist-connection to boot.

Anyway, fly safe

Mining Again

 After a long break running missions, I am finally back to mining.  Always enjoy a little relaxing rock-breaking from time to time

Mining Again

I have been running level 4 missions for a few weeks now and have neglected the mining fleet.  I guess today was a good day for some moon mining and some belt mining.  Almost trained into a third Hulk; just four more days.  Anyway, fly safe.

A Friendly Reminder

 Having terrible standings with a faction makes for a painful clawback to get better level missions.  I am doing level 1 missions to crawl back from a -4.2 standing with the Amarr Empire.  Having moved to Amarr space, it's pretty painful if you want to do level 4 missions.  Just keep it in mind to turn down missions that have an effect on faction standings with the empires

The Things You Find in Your Blueprint Cans

 So I moved my blueprints over to my new home and was going through them.  I can't beleive I had like 10 breacher blueprints.  I have so many duplicates, all mostly, researched that I will never use.  I guess I will just sell them, although no idea who would want them.

Another Moon Mining Operation

 Another moon mining operation underway in Talidal.  I have to tell you, I am enjoying mining the moons around here.  Here's a snip of the fleet.

Moving Day

 Moving Day

Now that I am in a new corporation, it makes sense to do a little consilidation and move assets closer to home base.  What I didn't realize is how much stuff I had accumulated.

I just moved 3 freighter's-worth of Tritanium.  I have to go back for other minerals, blueprints and whatever else I think I will need.  

Luckily, it's only about 14 jumps, but shit.  

Anyway, Fly Safe

Moon Mining in Talidal

 Moon Mining in Talidal

  First time in a long time getting at a moon.  Thanks to my new corporation.  More on that to follow.  Just wanted to drop this sweet image into the ether

Ice Mining in Jarzalad

 On Thin Ice

Just thought I'd finish out the night in another belt of ice.  Mining Hold is nearly full.  Thought this was a nice view.

Friday Night Mining Cargohold

 Friday Night Mining 

A couple of days of multi-hour mining expeditions.  Here is a snap of the mining cargo hold

I love the Orca

Belt Mining in Asezai

 Just Strip Mining a Belt in Asezai

Just some nightly mining in a local system.

 

Ice Mining In Kothe

Here is a screenshot of ice mining in Kothe on 4/17/2026

Here I have an Orca, 2 Hulks (I had them handy, but will ice break with Machinaws generally)

 

 

The Timing was Right

Well, after man years of a long break, I guess I am sucked back into EVE Online once again.  I have been a solo industrialist basically focusing on mining and manufacturing, but now it looks like it’s time to join a new corporation of living and breathing souls.  I admit, it is relaxing strip-mining asteroid belts solo, but EVE has always been about interactions.  You meet people from all over the world trying to eke out a living and enjoy the scenery.

Just last night, I was in a large omber/kernite anomaly, and I noticed a little Venture who was blue on my overview.  I’m terrible with names, but I did recall inviting him to my fleet the previous time I was in Akoosh.  I chatted with him and invited him again.  It turns out he’s from the EU and works on a cruise ship.  He is currently in port and trying to save up enough ISK to buy a new Armageddon.  Unfortunately, he lost his in a level 4 security mission.  I’ve been there before.  I was wrapping up the belt and I felt bad I had to leave.

I went back to station and removed all my roles from my four alts so I could leave my holdings corp and get ready to apply to a new one.  Only time will tell, but I wont be going it alone. 

I’ll update soon.  As always, fly safe.
