would be hard to get it taking in account im not aligned with TAPI or the like.

ok so i only ran 10 ranks today, currently 380. if i keep it that way there's 12 days before getting to 500. i've made 1,160 billion ISK and im getting close to 100K LP to spend into another Imperial Navy Command Mindlink which should provide another 160 million or so. this should leave me further close to the required money to get 500 PLEX.

as far as standings go i've gotten as high as 8,3 with Hedion and a bit over 4,2 for Emperor Family. but as always i had to stop for a while and run between mission hubs while evading lowsec related missions. in fact, i did one but there were 10 more in local when i entered so i didnt take more missions to that route.

nothing interesting in terms of skilltraining. still finishing Shield Compensation while the other short skills have been completed.

however, i've gotten interested in getting a Triglavian suit, but the Svarog version doesnt seems to be avaliable ANYWHERE!, i see people getting the red one or the green or blue which are in the NES. but the Svarog (Black, Gold and Ivory, pretty much Amarrian in colors) doesnt appears in the lists.

well, its not like im not fine with my current clothing, i like my basic starter clothes but i'd like to obtain something more aristocratic or knight-like later on. most of the armor suits i've seen dont feel nice aesthetically speaking. that Svarog is the only one that looks decent IMO.

perhaps i'll have to wait and see what is brought to the apparel later on.

You might be surprised what you can get in null. Anyone can buy on NPC Stations and neutral traders might deliver stuff there because they can get a better price there. And quite a few stations might allow anyone that is not red.

yeah but Catch for example is sov territory, i dont think someone would sell all the components i need for the fit in Stain either.

as for dail posts:

i almost reach rank 400 today if not because of the daily limits of the minigame. i've steeped up to 1,2 billion isk in the process but its still not enough to buy the omega so i have to keep going.

i was also planning on reaching the 100K LP mark today but the agents havent been generous and i've been getting lowsec missions too frequently so i moved to the L3 Emperor Family agent instead. i didnt really look what level i am but i think its close or over 4,5.

i've gotten up to 20K LP with that corp as of today. but like with the other the idea is to save as much LP as possible then buy expensive implants that sell for a good mark. so no use for this atm.

[xaritscin]

rank 400 achieved this morning. also finally got the 100K LP but to my disappointment i only made like 80+ million from it. i forgot the Mindlink costs 2 T2 mindlinks to get and they would cut the excedent money so instead i had to buy a high grade scanning implant, a midgrade hacking implant and a +3 implant instead. in fact, there's still close to 5K LP missing to spend, i couldnt buy anything more so i'll have to see how much i make from here to standing 10.

total money atm is 1,3 billion, still not enough for Omega but there's still so much work to do before that.

in terms of skills i put the last lvl of Shield Upgrades. this leaves me with only 2 shield skills missing that total for 10 days of training. im gonna have to get those +3 implants or something in the future to evade this shit but not now.

with short of 100 ranks to finish with Project Discovery i stopped by in Amarr and redeemed a second batch of rewards. i havent opened the crates as im waiting to get them full once rank 500 is achieved and i get the Marshal BPC, then i will open all of them one by one and activate whatever skins i get.

im gonna wrap this for today but if i dont come too tired from college i may run for the daily 10 ranks in the night or something. there's still much grind to do for standings

[xaritscin]

took a rest from playing for the whole week or so. i returned to do some few runs to complete the remaining ranks. currentl 430 in Project Discovery, im so close.

i lost some money from the LP gains due to buying some +3 implants to speed up things. in 2 hours or so i will be 1 point left from completing Targetting and will be missing 5 days of training to complete the last shield skill.

thus i will be able to focus on honing the drone skills in the next week or so. pretty good so far.

as for missions well not much development, close to 8,5 in standing with Hedion and 5,15 with Emperor Family. once i finish with checking transits this will be the only activity left, i just hope i can get enough flow of high sec destinations in order to get rid of this grind quickly.

after watching what is coming up in Winter update. i'll be holding on the idea of founding the new corp. will make it once the Wardec changes arrive in order to evade any unwanted aggression. so for now its just run missions and skill up. perhaps i will start looking at doing other stuff while waiting for skipping low sec destinations, probably mining missions or something like that.

[xaritscin]

rank 445 and counting. didnt feel like finishing the pull to 450 today because of the new event. this time CCP was more forgiving with the booster rewards so i rushed to fit a cheap venture and started mining my way up to 50 points.

i also bought and injected some neural enhancemente skills, Biology included as i need to maximize the time of the drug. this should save me some days of training or so despite having to learn some extra stuff.

i decided to open the lootboxes from Project Discovery as im only short of 100 to finish. in total i activated 221 skins from the whole Exoplanets Hunter collection, and there's still leftovers to sell. the problem is that they are cheap as fuck in the market so i guess im gonna wait and see what else comes up with the last 100 boxes. then save them for later, perhaps giving them away to future corp members or so.

im also getting to the 1,5 billion mark. close to 1,42 and counting, i wasnt really expecting to get to that amount before rank 500 but its coming up (the LP rewards helped a lot i guess).

[xaritscin]

saving days before posting because there's not much to report honestly.

rank 460, im doing like 5 ranks daily, so it will take at least 8 days more to finish (i dont feel like burning up for those last 40 ranks). the sad thing is that since PLEX prices seem to be increasing, i may be find myself resorting to injectors instead, the other way around would be to keep maxing my wallet and wait for prices to go downdue to special offers (probably wont happen until Black Friday hits on the northern countries).

the standing grind has gone quite steep too. im currently just getting to 8,7 with Hedion. i could keep going if not because im currently bent on not grinding too much, otherwise i would get really burned from the game so im trying to keep things going at a slower pace. on the otherh and im getting closer and closer to rank 10 and im already stacking a lot of LP again, 38K and counting. so this should earn me for another big sell of implants later on.

as for skills. i finally finished with Tactical Shield IV and started grinding Drones. support skills are fairly easy to lvl up save for Drone Durability (cause for some reason it has a higher scaling so the 4th point will probably take the same as the other main skills) so im going to lvl those first then leave Drones V, Light Drones V and so on for last. im getting close to the 3 million mark so i may be worried i wont be able to fill up this one without leaving missiles behind and i need both to pull up the DPS of the Magnate fit.

if SP looks to tight i may then just focus on mastering Light Drones with top support skills then focus on Missiles (Rockets, perhaps Light Missiles but im more of a scram kiter), and if there's still some extra leftover that could reach the gap in gunnery (for PvE because drones + missiles is too mainstream and lasers give me infinite ammunition just for less DPS) then i'll also invest into Lasers. this way i can more or less master the 3 weapon systems at a Frig/Destroyer lvl which sounds fine as i dont really see myself flying Cruisers for now (thought i've been considering an Arbitrator for Abyssal Deadspace, the problem is that i still have the worry about loosing standings with the Triglavs, Rogue Drones and Drifters).

[xaritscin]

rank 475 today, just a few more days to finish. on the other hand i couldnt get enough missions today and both L4 agents are stuck on lowsec stuff so no extra mission running today.

i reached past the 1,5 billion mark but yeah, PLEX is stoo expensive at the moment so i cannot invest on Omega yet. CCP put a new discount offer on Galaxy Packs or something this week so there's the little hope that the prices will go down again (but i doubt it).

as for Drone skills. im currently finishing Drone Avionics then moving to Drone Navigation, then will be lvl 3 for Drone Durability and that should leave me with the week long skills like Drones V, Drone Durability IV, Light Drone Operation V. i havent added Medium or Heavy Drones yet and there's still Drone Interfacing, Drone Sharpshooting and so on but for now things look good, i've barely scratched past the 3 million SP mark so perhaps i'll be able to complete this family of skills before running out into issues.

im gonna keep with the daily grind for now, allthought im slowly getting bored at times. i cannot jump into wormholes yet due to nonexistant DPS, combat missions require me get into larger vessels to progress and i'll also be loosing standings shooting the rats so there's not much that i can do as alternative.

Mining and Exploration seem to be the only options. there's also the thing that im still not sure if Abyssal Deadspace will provide an alternative source of income via combat without fucking up my standings with Triglavs, Drifters or Rogue Drones. i dont want to loose what i achieved leveling social either with those or with the pirate factions, so that leaves me out to try the dungeons.

im still a long way before sitting in a cruiser anyways.

[xaritscin]

rank 490, just 2 more days to finish this shit. i've made over 1,55 billion ISK so i guess this is gonna finish close to 1,6 billion or something. this not counting that im over 50K LP with Hedion and still just reaching to standing 9. but yeah either way im gonna get broke once i buy the plex for activating omega.

as for skills well im finishing Drone Durability III today. Drone Durability IV is the least long of the remaining skills atm so it more or less completes next week and then there's 2 weeks to get Drones V and Light Drone Operation V.

and then is going for the unlocked skills missing. not much to say in this update honestly. oh yeah, i've been discussing in the forum about making a change the way ship size progression goes in the game. it basically means doing a study of the stat growth of ships from Frigate to Titan and trying to reach some sort of curve which ensures Subcaps still keep their current stats (with a few adjusts) and Capitals shed some of their stats to be put in line properly now that they are so mass produced.

see you in a few weeks i guess. im still gonna try to post my advances in terms of standings farming. we're getting close to finish with this corp then move onto the other. i hope to suffer less issues to grind reputation with Emperor Family.

[xaritscin]

it is done. i reached Rank 500 tonight and got close to 1,590 billion ISK to spare. but that wasnt enough for the market, even in Jita the PLEX was tanking towards 1,6-1,7 billion for the full 500 untis. i aint spending that much just for 30 days of Omega training.

so instead i activated the remaining skins unlocked by the last 100 crates, sold everything leftover including some clothes i dont need for my character's gender and bought the missing skins to complete the collection.

im still ranking 1,5 flat. its more than enough for me to say fuck everything else. so i just went and hauled my collection of clothing and BPs to Khanid Prime as im going to found the corp later on and put the HQ there for novelty/RP reasons.

im currently feeling compelled to do other activities but so far the drone training keeps me occupied to try other stuff. and the agents are being too slow so i guess it will either be stick to the plan and keep grinding until boredom or say fuck it, im going to run cool missions for the motherland.

but of course without proper weapon skills i dont really expect to be mounting larger ships in the near future. perhaps i should do exploration instead, injecting the skills for it dont take too long compared to training full on Drones. the SP lost may even be negligible and the money done from hacking and the like should be more than enough to compensate the cost of the Alpha Injector.

im gonna analyze some of the options then choose something tomorrow. i dont really feel like doing more courier missions anymore.

[xaritscin]

i finally took a decision. im going to run the Datacenter Agent missions to improve my standings further with the empires. this may incurr in loss of reputation with the pirates but yeah, cant keep like this.

but first, i wanted to fulfill the dream of the Khanid Punisher. with help from one colleage in the Spanish Chat i was able to obtain one Civilian Light Missile Launcher. the other 3 i got them from making a Caldari alt, running the Advanced Military Career Missions and someone else that gifted another via Contracts.

i stripped the old gatling laser fit from the Punisher and refitted it for the new weapon systems (will post the fit later on). its not really designed for PvP due to the high CPU constraints posed by the Light Missile Launchers (not to mention the lack of DPS). but for doing silly farming stuff is ok, perhaps with a dedicated gang i could make it appear in some killmails but after all the work of getting the launchers i dont really wanna risk the ship.

anyways so i did that. passed some of the money i earned with the alt to my main character then prepared it for Biomass. i want to keep single account, single character. as for PLEX seeing that its ramping up in price i decided to invest on Skill Injectors instead.

i spent the LP i saved from the L4 agents and scrapped enough money via implants to buy 2 Large Skill Extractors. 1 million SP in total which was more than enough to boost my character up in the Missile department.

now im more or less 5 days off from finishing Light Missiles V then add the Specialization. Rockets are off to 10 days for lvl V. so im more or less close to how i was with my old Caldari character. most of those bonuses dont really apply to the Civilian launchers but the missiles are still bonused by those and the BCU so i improve damage substantially.

i still keep good drone skills anyways so this has been mostly beneficial not only for my Punisher fit but also for the PvP Magnate fit. allthought i will take way more time due to needing T2 drones trained.

i was still left with over 20 million isk. enough to cover investments on Cruisers or the like. perhaps even a Destroyer for running the Epic Arc (just in case that my Pirate Standings go down from the Datacenter missions).

to further celebrate things i moved up to the new base and founded the corporation. with the next patch arriving in Nov 13, i dont expect to get a Wardec before that, let alone get someone to attack me when so far from Amarr.

im gonan finish setting up some things with the corp and stuff albeits there's no offices or anything, then see if people arrives. with this i wrap the post of today.

cant wait to blow up some stuff.

UPDATE:

the fit i was talking about (ammunition not included, im gonna use regular)

[xaritscin]

i spent the last few days with the missioning. Datacenters were interesting but they incurred in derived stantings so everything when into unbalance (the wiki should notice about this honestly). i also did the Circle agents to try and compensate some losses in reputation.

all in all my standings with the pirates have gone to shit. i guess if i can keep on good terms with Sansha or Guristas will be a miracle but who cares at this point. im just going to see what can be scrapped off with Khanid Innovations for now. they have an L4 combat agent in the same system. in fact i think its the only one (Khanid needs more agents or something but i can live with it).

i also started doing the NPE missions in the Agency. i got some cash and an Executioner which is nice, but most important was getting some free SP to spend. i used it all to speed up finishing Amarr Frigate IV. this should leave me ready to go with finishing with Light Missiles V.

i also made the moving of all my assets to Khanid. not sure if the other corp members i've recruited will follow but its not required honestly, i chose the kingdom because is mostly silent in activity so no apparent risk of wardecs or other issues.

the downside is that Khanid is under heavy activity in terms of the current lore events. i even got reached by a member of Arataka Research Consortium asking if my order would participate in case of a civil war breaking in the region. i tried to go on the roleplaying suit and say it would be an honor but i didnt have the numbers to spare. i hope this thing doesnt end like that but now that i have another combat ship i could try and whelp it (as long as i dont get podded).

the corp has some roleplay going on its just that its not full roleplaying. but anyways

so yeah, im going to see if i can run some combat missions or something now. not really wanting to fuck my standings but that's how things are coming to be. HOWEVER, since Abyssal Coop is coming next week i coud always see if i can get some people to run sites. not really 100% sure because the other members are newbeans or fresh alts so i dont expect them to survive the onslaught but there's something i could do without larger ships.

and of course, im still a long time before being able to get a Battleship so there's really no rush for it. what i was considering instead is on getting a Destroyer for the SoE Epic Arc or do exploration.

[Rince Wind]

The SoE epic arc is pretty easy in a pirate frig. I used a (shield tank) Dramiel for it a couple of times. Just needed a cargohold expander in cargo for 1 or 2 missions, iirc.

With bad skills the last two missions might be close to impossible, I had to ask for assistance in local, but I think you are beyond that point now.

a very basic T2 + Meta 4 Dragoon was able to get the job done. i started with T1 mods but Dagan obligued me to invest a bit into improving the stats to churn out the extra DPS for breaking his shield boosting.

but yeah, i guess a pirate ship can do it too. honestly once you know the guy is just a reskin of an Angel Elite Cruiser you more or less figue out which damage type to apply on top of him. i always thought choosing different admirals changed him but nope.

so it was just a matter of Warrior Is + Nova Light Missiles and just permatank him.

anyways. the arc is done and i got my standings with Minmatar on par with the rest, Gallente is missing to get the same treatment but i'll have to wait so i left the ship in Arnon and returned back to the HQ.

i also had some extra SP flying around for some reason. didnt see when i got that (free SP due to connectivity issues perhaps? not sure). but those 1165 skillpoints were enough to insta train Medium Drones at I and halve Amarr Cruiser.

so now i can fly cruisers now. perhaps not at full power but its a start for L2s, anoms or signature hunting. im still focusing on mastering light missiles and rockets for PvP either in Frigate or Destroyers but im also looking at growing up on size so i've also put HAMs and Heavy Missiles on the queue.

for now im going to just keep churning on Distribution missions. im still low on standing to get L3s from Khanid Innovation and well, not much security agents in that corp so no need to use a cruiser yet.
