Back at it...

So I finally took the 82 jump haul out to 0.0 to start my change of pace. I settled on Sansha space, for no particular reason other than it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Not a lot in the way of a market out there which is a surprise... I expected there to be no market at all. Granted the market is a bout 30 jumps from where I am, but it's there. It often surprises me how little danger you're while traveling in this game. Since I was hauling BP's for my stay in nullsec (154 no less). I was rolling in my trusty SexyBack, a Matari Covops.
Even jumping into a bubbled gate didn't phase me in the slightest. Pick a direction, recloak, change directions when cloaked... laugh as the Vaga zooms by trying to decloack you. Then maneuver around the bubble and you're home free.

Good Times really, on the down side I forgot to set a med clone on the way and now I'll have to go 20 jumps back from where I set up. A lab is 12 or so jumps away, but the factories are within a jump of where I am.

Props to whomever can nail down which system I'm in with a single guess.

I've got a bad feeling about this...

In my past I've been quite the DnD player.... I'm a huge dork what can I say.

With 4e coming I keep getting a bad feeling about where the game is heading.

It's little things, like how Elves have suddenly grown an average of 6 inches.
Or how rogues can now sneak attack Golems.
Fighter's can keep an enemy "focused" on them.
Maybe I haven't done the work to read into it, but I just get the feeling that the people at Wizards sat down and tried to convert WOW to paper... I'll start to really look through this soon, since I'm interested in picking these up. I was interested in using the only component to hook up with a few people online until I found out that it was fifteen dollars a month. Which is insane, as much as I would love to get the old group together. For $15 a month we could all play WOW and I wouldn't have to design the adventures, or put up with people whining about failed saves.

Fly Smart everyone,

Here's hoping I'm horribly mistaken.

So sue me....

Ok, over the next few WEEKS.... I will be moving to 0.0..

On a side note it occurs to me that I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing.

The big move...

Over the next few days I am going to prep for my big move out to 0.0; where I intend to live in one of the npc regions. It's time for a change really, and taking the plunge into the frontiers of EVE should be an interesting change of pace.
To prepare I've started buying ship blueprint copies and vanilla T1 blueprints like mad. Fortunately the cruiser and frigate size module prints are fairly reasonably priced. The battleship ones however are not so nicely priced. I figure it'll cost me approximately 50% of my wealth to "set up shop" as it were. That should land me a few Battle cruisers, the fittings I need to run them and a mining ship for giggles.
I'll probably mission for one of the pirate factions, and if I like it I'll work my way through all of them. I'd like to get a stable of shiny faction birds to fly.
For now however, I need to find medium artillery blueprints... which in Essence may take some doing.

Fly Smart,
Quincy Tawharr
