It's been suggested that we start a blog on this adventure of ours. For the moment, I don't truly know how we'll conduct it! But we thought it would be great to document our adventures in our nomading and talk of our joy. EvE presents us with a great opportunity that not a lot of games do. You can gather your friends, and decide on what your purpose and goal will be! There are many things to do, many stories to tell, plenty of user generated stories to par take in. This, is the magic of EvE!
It's a rough road of course, the game is cruel to many new comers and even the oldies cry over the mechanics it loves to hammer into us. However, who wouldn't love a space adventure? So, the three of us have taken up that idea and we are going to try and live it out! We take some inspiration from Battle Star galactica in our approach to this, as we enter the unknown territory. Let's discuss why we decided upon this, rather than the traditional "Set up a PoS" approach we've read a lot about though.
We have many friends that want to partake in Wormholing, and ideally, a PoS is the better solution for that. However, we'd spent nearly a month looking for a hole we could occupy that wasn't already taken by others. Our shiny little eyes were soon growing dull with despair. Well, some of us. Chioxin and Ornisk however, took it upon their own accord to go out and pillage Class 1 and Class 2 holes while looking for that "dream" space from before.
And so an idea formed.
O.R.E. has given us a great ship to use, it's called the Orca. I wish I had pictures of the beautiful beast, but sadly, we didn't think of documenting our adventures until after they'd begun. This sizable industrial capital ship is a great tool however, as it allows us to have a mobile base in space! It's far flimsier than a PoS, and at a much higher risk of being destroyed by just one mistake. It comes with so many benefits though! One very important one being, we don't have to keep it fueled! It has storage, ship bays and fitting arrays, corp hangars, and it can move! So the three of us got together with all of our characters, and we set out in it.
Immediately on the day we were ready, we found a Class 2 hole full of sites to run! So we jumped on it! Sure there was an occupant, but with our new set up, we would only be on and visible when we wanted to be! They would never know! Unless of course they checked Dotlan.
For an entire week and a half we've been farming this site, and for our efforts we've made a combined total of 750 million isk! We've never seen the original occupants, but the lights are still on at their PoS. They must be keeping it fueled. We even witnessed someone else move in on them! Though, neither of us have seen them active. Oh well. We've cleaned this site out pretty good now. There are still anomalies left, but we found a High Sec exit to drop off our goodies at, and have made the decision to move on. We want to try our hand at C3's, and see where this takes us.
Goodbye, J103339, you were a pleasant start to this great adventure.
