The Life and Times of Prometheus09

The Captains Log 15/3

Solar System: Amarr

Stations: Emperor Faimily Academy

So there are a couple of Memes going around the first one started by Freebooted who wants us bloggers to tell everyone what our blog is about. A while ago Manasi went through and categorized the then current blog pack members into what he thought each blog was about, in which he placed me under the division of Hostile Acquisitions and Takeovers and a War Reporter. The second one is to link a picture of the systems you have visited in Eve (can’t remember who started this one, though it has actually been done before). So being the economical person I am I decided to do both of them in one post.

Solar System: Amarr

Station: Emperor Family Academy

 

Well today I left OUCH and joined another corp. The reasons for this was that I felt  that I didn’t have the time available I needed to devote to teaching OUCHs new recruits due Uni starting up again and that I also wanted to be in a PvP focused corp that was good at what it did.

Leaving the Old and Moving onto the New

The Captains Log 13/1

Solar system: Utopia; Curse

Ship: Ishkur Class Assault Ship


The last week or so I have been dealing with the fallout of attacking Chribba and then being kicked out of the alliance along with my old corp I.M.M. For the most part this has involved moving assets out of Esoteria and then setting up shop elsewhere. I have also joined a new corp.

The Captains Log 8/10

 

Skills

Well this month as seen my characters progress that little bit further. Prometheus09 has trained up thermodynamics allowing him to overheat his weapons. Indecently this got me some more certificates : ). I have also got him to train every mechanic skill that he can so I can now use every rig in the game. Normally, I train something as I need it but I decided training all the rigs I didn’t have would be a good idea. Caladan09 can now fly logistics ships, in particular the Guardian, which I intend to buy for him so I can run plexs with some remote rep. Fishy Night has being slogging away at Drone Interfacing five so he can fly a carrier, which will be possible in about 7 hours (If i had the ISK to buy the skill book that costs 450mill).

 

ISK

Ran some plexs got some ISK and bought my Phoenix, which left me with next to money and I need about another 1.5 bill to buy fittings, insurance and more skill books.

 

Combat

This month saw the introduction of Operation Kent, which looked like it was going to be a success until my Manticore got blown up, resulting in Operation Kent being placed on hold for the time being until more plans can be made. After a little break in the middle of the month I decided to go high sec ganking, which originally was hulk pilots in general but has now moved to ganking macro miners. The alliance has being continuing the campaigns against Brick Squad and roams into GoonSwarm space.

 

The Future

Skills wise I don’t realy know where Prometheus09 is going. There are a couple of level fives skills I may put him on (only so I can get more certificates) or maybe he may get his learning skills finished off to where they should be. Alternativly, I may train him to use a Proteus and T2 salvagers, code breakers and analysers. Caladan09 also has no real direction at the moment but Minmitar Cruiser 5 is currently being trained. He may get into that rapier yet. Fishy Night though has a whole skill plan set ahead for him. 30 days to get some fittings for carriers and then about 100 days to get a assortment of T2 drones.  I will also be spending a fair chunk of time ratting (I hate it) to earn ISK and repair Promtheus09’s sec status.

Update and Pirate Faction ship Changes

Posted by prometheus09 on September 15, 2009

 The Captains Log 15/9

 

Update

Haven’t had much time to play Eve due a couple of rough weeks at uni so I have had now PvP at all. Skill wise my characters are on long skills at the moment (though I gave Caladan some trading skills) so there has being no change there. The biggest news of the week is that I now have 770 mill in my Dreadnaught fun, the majority of which has come from running some plexs (post coming soon)  and a bit from trading (though I still don’t know how to do it well).

Pirate Faction ship Changes

Go here and have a look at the changes that CCP is going to be making to pirate ships. Most of the changes look quite nice. I am quite happy to see that the Guristas dual weapon bonuses are being removed as they were pretty fail. The Glia (Guristas Cruiser) looks like it could show some promise. It has 400m3 dronebay with 125m3 drone bandwidth allowing it to field a flight a of Heavy Drones plus its three launchers. With the same mid and low slot layout as a Drake (though less CPU and powergrid) it will be interesting to see what kind of passive tank you can get on it. Or maybe you will be able to get a good nano fit on there. Would like to try it out on EveMon.

Honorable Thief
Eve as a game is supposed to be fun. You have your fun when you get to take stuff from other people by out-witting them. Hopefully they’ll have fun too, and the situation will let them learn a thing or two. You gladly help out new players, and you don’t hold a grudge. Balance is important, but you will always adapt to changing circumstances, and you don’t whine about stuff you can’t change anyway.
I decided to get my girl friend to to do it as well (which was interesting as I had to explain all the questions) and she is a …

FOTM-Fag (FOTM stands for Flavour Of The Month, or maybe Fungs Of The Month)

To win Eve you have to get on the winning team. This means training for the best ships, the best guns and fly with people who do the same. Eve is designed as a game where certain pieces are better than others. Exactly what is better might change from time to time, so the trick is to find it and abuse the hell out of it. A game is only fun when you’re winning, so you do everything in your power to never lose.

So what are you?

The Captains Log 6/9

 

Skills

Well this month has seen my character progress further down their skills paths. Prometheus09 can now fly all Minmitar T2 frigates fully fitted (along with Caldari and Gallante) and saw him finally get into interdictor. He has also finished training all his gunnery support skills to 4 which is nice. Caladan09 can now fully fit his Pilgrim and utilise the drones it requires quite well (the DPS can be improved a little, but it is not bad) while Fishy Night is now able to fly a Phoenix and has gotten all the relevant skills to 4. I have also trained up couple of cyno alts in this time.

 

ISK

Well getting ISK is always a problem for me. I started to involve myself some inter-regional trading, however the market is quite slow and nearly as fast as I thought it was. At least the profits I had projected have materialised, which has got me a little more ISK, only for me to buy stuff. I’m still saving for that Dreadnaught.

 

Combat

Well this month has seen the alliance get involved in a Campaign against Brick Sqaud up in Stain. This has gotten me involved in some nice fleet battles and got a good taste for fleet combat after most of my former combat time being spent in small or medium sized gangs. The big news of the month though was firstly the loss of a alliance capital fleet after Goons rudly interrupted us taking out one of Bricks POS and the destruction of one of Burn Edens Titans a couple of days later.

 

The future

Well I am going to start getting Fishy to begin training for a carrier, while Prometheus09 trains some more support skills. As for Caladan09, well I’m to sure. Maybe some gunnery support skills for him as well or possibly put him back into training for a Rapier. ISK wise ill keep on moving towards the money needed for a Dread; ill get there one day. Combat wise, I think things may be heating up between us and the Goons since they are starting to run gangs into our space and vice versa.

 

Looks to be some good times ahead.
