POS takedown cancelled


On the day before the POS takedown, the shields on the POS failed and collapsed. With the shields down the corp decided to attack early. The bad part is that I missed it. It wasn't a complete and total loss however, I joined a fleet with two other corp members and we did several level four missions. Level four missions are very difficult because each mission has frigates, crusiers, battlecruisers, AND battleships. In the picture provided, Im flying my Hyperion battleship the Resolute to the right and above me is a battleship called a Rokh. The battleship to my left and below me is called a Kronos. The Kronos is very special because its an upgraded version of a battleship called a Megathron. Its VERY powerful and hard to get. With just the three of us we made close to 30 million isk just by ourselves. It was awesome and I had fun!

Upgraded my communication equipment

When I wasn't looking some evil space monkeys stepped on my headphones and smashed the controls to bits!. Without my headphones, I've been unable to chat with other pilots. However, I went to the nearest Best Buy dealer and got a replacement for the ones that were broken. I was in a fleet today with some corp members and I got to use my new headphones. It was really cool because I got to chat with my fleet members and I really got into it! Its like going dogfighting at a flight simulator. I really felt like I was a space captain of a hyperion battleship.

Practice Taking down Player Owned Structures

Today my corp found someones POS that was offline. A POS is a player owned structure. Basically, its a private base that can be setup or take in down and usually its found in wh areas. Anyhow, the corp is having an event where we attack other player's POS's. So in order to get ready for it we decided to get some practice in taking one down. It was really fun because there were twenty-two other vessels besides mine. I flew my Hyperion Battleship. I stayed about 33 km away from the POS and just unloaded ammo at a distance. As you can see in the photo there is allot going on. There were alot of battleships from other factions, such as Megathrons, Hurricane's, and Apocalypse's. In the end we made about 30 million isk per player! So we had alot of fun and we made some great money. I can't wait for the POS takedown this weekend!

Ice Mining in the Tolle System


Today I decided to go Ice Mining in the Tolle System. Just like the FIFTY other people who had the same idea I did. When you go ice mining you collect "Blue Ice." It looks just like regular ice only that when you refine it becomes fuel for player owned structures. It sell fairly well since its a critcal element to keep the POS's running.

The Star Map


I figured Id show just how big the universe really is. Every little dot on the picture to the right is a system that you can travel to. Some systems are in high security space where its safe to travel. Others are in low security space where pirates, cutthroats, and mercenaries hangout in. And finally there are systems where there is no security. In these lawless areas, all bets are off and anything goes. As you can see alot can happen in the universe!

A mysterious structure in space

While killing sleepers we come across this odd structure floating silently in space. What secrets does it hold? Who built it and why? Nobody knows and I don't know either. One thing I do know is that what ever it is, its dangerous and wasn't supposed to be found. What do you think is inside? Money, weapons, Mutant zombies ready to eat your brains? You go first, Im right behind you! LOL

Spoils of War


There has been no war, but I had the opportunity to fleet up with a bunch of corp mates. We flew down a wormhole and blew up sleepers. We had a fleet of 6 ships. Together, we totally trashed the sleeper sites. When the sleepers where destroyed, we had someone fly in and loot and salvage the wrecks. There was only small hiccup however. When we were finished we flew back to the wormhole to fly home. Wormholes are only temporary in nature and the exit was disintegrating. I accidently flew through and trapped the rest of the fleet in wormhole space with no way of getting home! Luckly, one of the corp members had a probe launcher and could find a way back to high security space.
