A first step toward capital ships

Ever since I first started playing Eve Online, I wanted to fly the big capital ships. More specifically the carriers. They were big and cool looking and would be really awesome to have. However they requirements to actually fly one of those is quite intense! After alot of skill training I've finally gotten to the point to where I can almost fly one! There is one small snag, however, I still have one skill left to train and then I have to purchase the skill book to actually fly one of the carriers. The skillbook itself can easily run up to 450 million isk! Then if you add in the cost to actually purchase a carrier thats an addition 450 million isk on top of that! That's alot of money! Even if I don't get that kind of cash, I still can benefit from all the skills that I have to learn. On a side note, all that skill training is really paying off. I can now fly frigates, crusiers, battlecrusiers, and battleships so well that I can fly them in my sleep! Not only that but I can also use the T2 guns on all my ships which is way better that the basic T1 guns. Using the T2 guns I can solo level 4 missions and sleeper sites over and over. I can't wait to see the money from doing that!

Surviving on the edge

Living in a wormhole has been very difficult, however strangely enough I find that Im starting to get the hang of it. Some of my corp buddies found an asteroid belt and we went mining in wormhole space. The ore here is the best of the best! A pilot can easily make several 100 million isk by mining and killing sleepers. Just the other day I was able to clear a site full of sleeper drones. It was very difficult and it took a while but in the end I was able to kill them all. Its proof that I can not only survive out in the middle of nowhere but also thrive.

Wormhole Frustrations

I had some trouble going into the wormhole today. Wormholes are always shifting so they are never in the same place twice. You only have so much time before the wormhole collapses in one system and reopens in another. That is what happened to me today. I was trying to get my covert ops ship, my Megathron battleship, and my cloaking transport all to the system where the wormhole is located. I can use the covert ops to scout the wormhole areas and find things to do. I could then send the battleship to clear those areas. Then send the transport to bring all the loot back to the station. However, by the time I got all those ships into the system, the wormhole closed up on me! To add to my frustration, the wormhole opened on the other end of the galaxy! So rather than moving all my ships to the system where the wormhole was, I decided to wait and see if the wormhole will open somewhere closer to where I was. It beats having to move each ship 32 jumps and back.

Captain's Quarters

After a two week vacation on a nice pleasure planet, it was time to return to the harshness of space. As I was gone a new expansion arrived and now I have the opportunity to walk around inside the station! After a nice cup of coffee I return the hanger where my battleship the Resolve is docked. As Ive said before its a mighty ship but you have to admit it does look very cool from this angle.

The Races

When you play Eve Online, there are four races to chose from. Amarr, Minmatar, Caldari, and Gallente. I personally play Gallente because Gallente are free-spirited and they are a democratic nation. Plus their ships look really cool to boot. The Amarr are the oldest of the races and are very religous and like to have personal slaves at their beck and call. The Minmatar are slaves who have broken free of the Amarr and are fighting to free their loved ones. Lastly, are the Caldari. The Caldari are from a militaristic society and their leader Tibus Heth rules over them with an iron fist. All of these races are trying to exert their influence on the galaxy. What could possibly go wrong????

I am Megatron!

This battleship is feared on the battlefield and for good reason. I wanted to try out some of the other battleships that are out there besides the Hyperion. One thing that I like about this ship is that it looks alot like an old aircraft carrier or a capital ship from the movies. If you look closely near the back of the ship you can see the bridge. It's a very cool ship to fly and when properly other pilots will learn to fear the name Megatron!

Super Orca to the Rescue!

I was in a mining op with some corp mates and I noticed that one of them brought an Orca to the mining op. The orca is basically a mining capital ship that helps out the other miners by improving their ships and is also a large floating storage container. When at a mining op its the mobile command center of the operation. As I was mining, it pulled behind me and it looks like Im part of it. It was kind of cool looking and awesome. Also the corp wh opened today and I was able to get all my stuff that was locked inside.
