Brand New Battle Cruiser

At the beginning of the year there was a new update and in that new update a brand new battle-cruiser was released. This new battlecruiser is called the Talos. The Talos is a cross-breed between a battleship and cruiser. You get the big guns of a battleship and the speed of a cruiser. So you get the best of both worlds. The downside is that in order to use the battleship guns you have to sacrifice the durability that battleship would normally have. Also this ship is the most expensive of all the battlecruisers.

This particular battlecruiser reminds me alot of the Destiny from Stargate Universe. It has alot of engines in the back and glides through space. Another great advantage of this ship is that if you fit it with an upgraded propulsion system such as a Microwarp Drive or Afterburnner, this ship can really MOVE! Almost 1,000 miles/second! That is really FAST for a battlecruiser.

In order to obtain this beautiful ship, I had to sell my Hyperion battleship in order to get it. Not only was I able to get my Talos but I also was able to get an original blueprint of a Brutix Battlecruiser. Its my favorite battlecruiser and I tend to fly it alot. Having the original blueprint will help cut down on purchasing a new Brutix everytime someone blows it up.

Blueprint Originals

I wanted to take the time to talk about Blueprints in Eve Online. Eve tends to be very PvP oriented. There have been many times where I would pay alot of money for a brand new ship only to see it blow up from afar by from an enemy pilot. It can be very expensive to get the ship replaced. By purchasing a blueprint of your favorite ships, you can save alot of money because you wouldn't have to rebuy your ship and get it refitted.

Another benefit of having an original of a blueprint is that you can copy it and research it. You can then sell the copies for money or you can research your original to make it more efficient. The only downside to researching a blueprint is that it does take time to get any real results.

Depending on which kind of blueprint you have it will save you money in the long run. However, blueprints do tend to be more expensive overall. If you do get one it is worth saving, especially if you have the skills trained to use it more effectively. I personally am hoping to get my hands on a Brutix Battlecrusier blueprint, I do like that ship type more so than any other.

Cleaning House

After a long haitus, I return to the space lanes. I've been gone for so long that I have noticed that I have alot of stuff that I have accumulated from all over the galaxy. From spare parts to engine manifolds to even spare bits of ore, all this has been scattered all over different stations. So, I decided to clean house and sell some stuff. This will allow me to stay in a more localized part of the galaxy as well as reduce travel time.

Also on another note a new battle crusier has just been developed and is now for sale! I haven't had a chance to pilot it yet however, it looks really AWESOME! I can't wait to fly it!
