Blogger memes

Not much has been happening lately. I'm kind of stalling in my momentum here and in Eve. Finals week is coming up, and I have been procrastinating that as well. So in light of that, I thought I'd jump on the blogger bandwagon and knock out a couple of older trends that have been going around. One is my "Eve Space", and the other is a screen shot of where I've been in New Eden.

My Eve Space...


Kind of sparse, I know. Usually it is covered in papers, bills, ect... I thought I'd clean it up just a bit. No Eve posters yet on the wall, still got to talk the better half into it!

And now where I've been....


You can see that I have spent the largest portion of my time both in Caldari space and Amarr space. My first null sec roam was to the north into Fade, and then I spent a bit of time both living and roaming in Delve and Querious to the south. We'll see where this next year will take me!

New Shiny.....oh wait...

Long story, short version. I have just come back from a long sabatical, 8 months or so, and am finding it hard to get back into the full swing of things. Our corp and alliance has made significant progress during the whole BoB/Goon war, and once Dominion launched and shook up everyone's sovereignty, we as an alliance both grew and claimed null sec space. So we are in the process of getting everyone moved in, and building up infrastructure to begin cultivating and improving our space.

Okay, back-story out of the way.

So I have returned, slowly trying to rebuild my wallet to take advantage of the improved skills I have trained during my prolonged absence, and am finding it to be dull. But I am also hesitant to get into low sec to regain my pvp skills, or null sec to begin ratting and contributing to the sov improvements. I guess the wallet seems to be the dominant restricting factor, as I don't even have enough to replace more then a couple t2 fit battlecruisers or any assault frigates that I lose in the process, plus the logistics of moving all my kit halfway across the universe without the access to a freighter. I've only just started, and have only moved a couple of ships.

So today, while running some high sec anomalies, I got a bright idea. I need a new assault frigate to make me happy. Today I spent 31M isk purchasing and fitting probably the lowest regarded assault frigate offered. Yes, I bought a Retribution. I have been playing with fittings in EFT for some time and I liked the stats I could achieve and this will probably be my staple for gang ratting or running low sec anomalies solo. Should be quick enough to GTFO if needed, can speed tank rats while fitting a buffer and resist tank and will do enough dps to quickly dispatch the lower rats in our new space. If this hull had 1 more mid-slot, I believe it would be the dominant assault frigate behind the Ishkur.

I spent a full 1/3 of my wallet today on this new toy! Can I replace this? NO!! But I love it, and I hope it serves me well. I run with a great corp and I don't doubt they will help me bring it into our constellation. Here are some pics I took of Glomar's Heart for you to enjoy...

Obligatory "Hello World"

So, here we are. I have decided to create a blog detailing my meanderings and happenings in the wonderful universe known as New Eden, the galaxy 300k people worldwide populate in the space MMO, Eve Online. Not that everything, or anything for that matter, I do is particularly interesting or spectacular, but hey, what the hell right?

So here we go, strap in, and we'll see where this ride takes you!
