Say goodbye to hulk alt

So after 7 ish months of training and a lot of station spinning, my hulk alt with 9.2mill sp finally sold. I am actually so happy. I hated mining so much that in those 7 long months I only went out mining about 3 times lol. I know I would have made a lot more isk if i had mined for the whole time and then sold the char but it was just to boring for me. Hopefully she has gone to someone who will take care of her...

So here is the maths:

21 free days (free)
Plex (free because of buddy program)
6 * Plex (say 350mill average each) = 2.1 bill
100mill for skill books and implants

total spent: 2.2bill
Character sold for 3bill So i made about 800mill \o/

I am happy with that. Till next time o/,
Captain Serenity

Update #11 - CSM

With Council of Stellar Management due to leave office on April 6th, it's almost time for the candidacy period for CSM6 to open up. The dates for the next election period are as follows:

• February 9th to 23rd – Candidacy application period opens
• March 2nd – Publication of the list of approved candidates
• March 9th – Voting opens
• March 23rd – Voting closes
• March 30th – Results announced
• April 6th – CSM 6 takes office
• April 2012 – CSM 7 takes office

When applying for candidacy in CSM6, we will require that at least a basic campaign message stating what you are campaigning for and/or who you are representing is provided.

So there are only a couple of changes to the CSM application process. you will now need to provide a message stating what you are campaigning for and who you represent. this will make it easier for voters to identify the candidates. The other change is to with the schedule and will result in a reduction of the amount of time between the publication of the list of approved candidates and the beginning of the voting period.

If you have not already tried the new PI interface (which is quite different) this guide will get you up and running in no time at all.

In other news, the corp i just joined is at war in high sec. Pretty much what happened was the alliance didnt want our corp in the alliance any more but never kicked us. the alliance was falling apart so Merciless reckoning asked our CEO to form a new alliance with them. We agreed. Our CEO sent over 350mill to start the alliance and left the previous alliance. As soon as we had left, Merciless reckoning declared war on us. Most of our players aren't that experienced at pvp however the people who war decced us are. Isnt that great :)

What I wonder is, were merciless reckoning ever going to form a new allaince with us or had they planned that as a way to get our isk and kick us out at the same time. Also one of our players killed one of them and then they were bitching about it. So maybe they thought since we were mostly care bears they could steel our isk, kick us out and get some easy kills.

Fly safe, Dont war dec people for no reason.

Rifter Rampage #1 - In The Beginning

In The Beginning...

 ...I created an alt.

Mysterious Alt

I have decided to make one of the characters on my main account into a solo PVP alt. His name will remain unknown but I am going to post every few days about how he is going. I will include a record of how much isk I spend and the skills I train. I am calling this series of posts Rifter Rampage because the first solo ship I am going to learn to use (and train for) will be a rifter. Below is the fitting I am going off, so I know what skills I need to train.



I have given the character 15mill which I am going to make last for as long as possible. I am going to try and spend as little as possible the whole time and see how much isk it costs and how long it takes to train a character to be able to pilot a rifter properly.

ISK SPENT:

minmatar frigate - 36 000

small projectile turret - 18 000

motion prediction - 54 000
mechanic - 18 000

hull upgrades - 54 000
repair systems - 27 000
weapon upgrades - 70 000

Total: 277 000

That should do us till next time.

SKILLS
