Encouraged by some of Moge's posts, I've decided that once a week or so I'd post a screenshot of the places and things I'm doing. It will be a little log of events. I'm not much for role play (read I enjoy it, but suck at actually doing it). Hopefully this will be less of a log and more of a journal entry type of thing going forward. (The real aim is to try and capture some really cool screenshots that, for me, allow me to enjoy the game immensely)
Lanasa is a Minmatar. I'm currently flying a battleship called the Typhoon. It's a great all around ship with a large drone capacity and 4 missile and turret bays.
I'm entering Aeddin II - Imperial Armor Factory, to retrieve some marines needed by the Minmatar Mining Corporation to re-inforce some planetary positions. My handler is not sure, but we think the Amarrians are behind some of the turmoil in Gulfonodi and other systems of Molden Heath. Those slavers will pay for their actions!
Lanasa is leaving Aeddin II to drop off the marines needed by MMC. My handler classifies the work I'm doing as of Level 3 importance, but sometimes acting as a freighter just goes against my instincts. Ah well, I'm still a young fish in this big sea and the void of space can be rough. Just last week I lost a Typhoon foolishing making a mining run into a .4 security system that was under heavy pirate attack. I didn't stand a chance - it was 8 against 1. The only solace I can take out of losing 25 million ISK is that I was fully insured for my losses and my clone worked. I've heard horror stories where people have been less than satisfied with their clones - coming out dumber than before.
Sometimes its better to be lucky than good, the last vestiges of ISK I inherited went into this banking venture called EIB. I sunk 15 million into investments their only to have it all scammed. Hundreds of billions of ISK went poof, but at least I had secured a loan for my 1st Typhoon and now I don't have to pay it back! Net profit of 55 million but seeing as that's about all I have left I'm going to need to keep running these missions for my handler and mining Omber.
At least I've got the know how to do it which is more than I can say for some of the other green as grass pilots I've seen recently. Lanasa out.
