I've been pausing my EVE activity due to lack of interest to farm and learn in same time. Now I am free as a bird, and I really want to build an Empire. Again, by trading. I am really interested in understanding the market and how I can manipulate it so here is my setup for this new (and stupid) attempt: after purchasing a PLEX, I have 56 mil to work with, I made a loan request on forum (doubt it will fill thought) and search for some specific items, the requirements for each item will be below.
Now, the goal is to be able to PLEX at the end of the month and still have some assets on market (probably around 3 or 4 billions in total i guess). If the loan would fill, this will be much easier but I can't rely on that.
I really think that I can succed and as my mouse is retard and can't work fine, I can play only EVE, also I may write some fiction (no promises though). See you in game.
The requirements for my items: relatively slow traffic (20-100 units/day), good profit (+20% so I can undercut) and to be not masive (to fit in an Ishkur).

I did it!
So the exams are over and I hope that soon I will know the results. Meanwhile my EVE business are growing nicely and as far as I can tell they will grow even more because me and a friend plan to open a trade hub in a null sec region but we still think about it so no more news on that.
Most items that I trade are now faction modules or tech 3 cruisers' subsystems and I can make more or less than 20% profit on each with some having really good margins like 50%. I use an assault frigate for hauling and even I know that it is risky, I prefer to have them in Dodixie as soon as possible plus I am not paying any transport taxes so yes, for me it's good to personally haul.
In terms of blogging I was a bit less active because nothing interesting happened, just numbers and some weird discussions and a lot of stress from exams but no action beside Jita's undocking.
I will soon rejoin Faction Warfare as my skills are high enough to PVP properly but I am thinking of selling that alt for like 2bil and invest in main, will see thought.
For now this is all (that rhyme), see you in game,

Lesson learnt
As I said in a few posts, my trading project is doing good, in every day or even two times a day, I have at least 100-200mil to respend on new items. Usually I fly to Jita to buy the stuff and come back in Dodixie to sell them for a nice profit. Today the same happened: woke up with 160mil to spend, wen to Jita, in my Atron, bough some shiny stuff and this happened at undock:
The suicide ganker was pretty much praying for a good prey because he wouldn't have the time to scan me even if (s)he had instalock because I could warp in less than four seconds. (S)He just randomly chose the easiest target and fire. No problem, I should used insta undock bookmark and it would be OK. Well, I still have more than 900mil in Dodixie, ready to be sold and reused but it may take a day or two. Until then, I have a lesson learnt and I will think twice before using an Atron for hauling hundreds of millions.

Sweet market grinding
From almost nothing i managed to get up to almost a billion (920mil) in sell orders. It's good but sometimes it's an awful waiting in which you may get lost. I have maybe another week in which i am locked to marketing and then i will see if i will continue with that or move to ratting or anything else.
In the time that i am marketing, i also watch Breaking Bad (good serial by the way), chatting with alliance/corp/other chats or played other games, it makes it enjoyable. Ah, i also learn in that time.
Now, i have a question for you guys, should i write some fan-fiction about EVE? Let your opinions here or in game. Fly safe!

I want to name my Fedo!
As you may (or may not) know, i have little to no time to actually play EVE so i only do trading. Until now i have like 400mil in sell orders in hisec, other 100mil in Providence (i want to bring them to hisec too) and almost 70mil on buy orders in hisec (5mil liquid at the momment of writing this).
But i started to think about the period of after this period, when i will have time to do a lot more, and by searching the market i found two very interesting things: Hound Slave and Fedo. By reading the description of them, they seem to be like a pet so i bought 1 of each and start to think about what i can do with them beside to reput them on market and pray to make profit.
After a bit of thinking i found the answer: I will go on adventures with them! Already had a gas harvest ship ready to be undocked so i put the two little guys in the cargo, and tryed to rename them but... i couldn't. I know that there are more important aspects of the game that should be improved but i really want to be able to name my mods and items that i own (e.g: i'd name a Fedo like "Heisenberg" or a gun like "Spitfire"), so i'd be even more hurt when i lost a ship that cost more than half of my wallet.
Hope that in a day i will be able to shoot guys when having "Heisenberg" in cargo...

Market opportunity?
Below is what i think that "market opportunity" means: a relatively high volume item don't have enough supply and by checking the item's price history i see that there was a high order filled. I though a bit and decided to buy first 2 orders and resell them at 1.5mil. I know that i will be undercut but that's why i chose 1.5mil as starting point so i have from what to cut. I hope in a ~25 to 50% profit overall.
Also i invested in other items that i think will worth, gonna see if they sell fast enough.

Carebearing like a ... carebear
Didn't posted for a while so here i am with a bit of news. As i have less time to play, i decided to farm. I mined and now i will do some missions, looking to get to level 4 missions ASAP. I am doing missions for Sister of EVE as i don't need standings at the momment but ISK.
Speaking of ISK, some may ask if i will PLEX this month and the answer is YES! A nice guy said that if i get good marks at the next exams will give me a PLEX and then other guy said the same. I may not activate the PLEX until the exams are over but i have the FW alt, meanwhile training for PVP, and i will contract all my assets to it until i am free.
Also, on my main i am grinding both skills and ISK for an Incursions ship curently i met like 95% of the skill requirements for a ship but i have only like 25% of the money that i'd need but i know that once i have a ship ready to do Incursions i will be able to PLEX in ~a week or so and the rest of the month to have fun.
That's all for today, if you have any question, requests, want to donate etc, comment below or add "Lupan Anton" or "Pierre Vaillant" in game. See you in space!

Stupidity hurts
After the stupid lost of Helios, i did another stupid thing (and didn't follow my advice of using my brain): wanted to try some combat sites so bought a Gila, and fitted it, resulting in a fit around 400mil (with hull) and went on scanning combat sites.
First was a Serpentis Vigil, i had some questions about the tank but it hold on well, sadly no faction drop. Then i found an infamous site for me: Serpentis Phi Outpost, i was used to scan them for my corp's CEO and once i tried to do it in a Worm and by checking the killmail i managed to get the drop but somehow i died.
Time of revenge i said and warped right in the site. Again, the tank was brilliant and if i wasn't idiot i could blitz the site easily but... in the second room, i killed the boss, and went for the wreck (didn't used the MTU i had... don't ask me why) which was behind a huge structure, and i losed like 10mins trying to get to the wreck. In this time a Drake warped in the room and i went full retard mode: targeted the wreck with drones set on aggressive, which destroyed the wreck. I didn't paid attention to it so i though that the Drake (wich had a MTU) stole it and i wanted to look in his MTU.
A bit later (like 1min later) i checked the damage statistics (combat log or however is named) and i saw it: 500 damage to 'TREASURE WRECK' from Navy Hammerheads. I was sad and logged out soon after.
Some hours later i found another Vigil which i runned better than first time and actually got something, a Shadow Serpentis Gyrostabilizer if i remember right which worth ~90mil. Next site was a Serpentis Narcotic Warehouse that was pretty easy to do but had to let my brother to get the loot and, as he said, he warped to a planet and clicked exit (probably with the NPC timer on). I hadn't time to look on the loot until now (i am writing from my laptop) and i can't wait to check it (hope that i wasn't killed while offline again...
I will look into combat sites more as they are easy to do and can bring a lot of ISK and i need that isk (i need like 1bil) for this month PLEX which i must buy in 10 days.

YOU can do it!
All over the Internet i see guys complaining that EVE is too complex, or too boring or "spreadsheet simulator". I can agree if the game bores you but i can't agree that it's too complex, you need to watch some videos, do the fucking tutorial and use the thing that is called "brain" (i said this earlier too). With almost no help (of course, i asked here and there but most time i was by myself), i made 1bil in my first 3 weeks, solo, and i had a hell lot of fun.
At the moment i don't think there is any game like EVE, in which you can do whatever the fuck you want. If you want to make ISK and don't have time, you can: spend like 1h a day (like croda) and play the markets or go explore solo. If you have time, you can do incursions, ratting. If you want a bit more technical, you do industry, and if you have a lot of time but you need to afk, you mine. That's it, you can make a lot of money in a lot of ways, you need to use your fucking brain and (like markeedragon said) if you can succeed in EVE you can succeed in life.
I will write some tutorials on how you can make money, just need to think at them. More to come!

THE FUCK!?
I was exploring like all time, when i see a new WH: i go there, activate it, scan the sigs, sell the hisec entrance for a bit of money, and then the power cut off (i was i a safespot). When i came back, SURPRISE! i am in a pod. 'The fuck happened? Where is my fucking ship? THE FUCK?!', i check the killmails and SURPRISE! a fucking drifter killed me. 'I was i a safespot, i should be safe even if i'd emergency jump (that happens when you don't log off safely)' i though, and went to ask on chat channels for help, most suggesting to write a support ticket, i did it. When i ask on the channel where i sold the entrance, the buyer says that, SURPRISE!, he found my wreck near a combat anomaly (he was killed too).
I don't ask for reimbursement, even if that ships had a cargo that probably could safe my PLEX, no, i ask for answers: why the fuck i was killed when i was offline and most important, why the i emergency jump right in that anomaly, it was just the (un)luck? Whatever, i wait for the answer from CCP, until then i go to do something to relax, maybe i will mine or rat...
PS: I will revenge on Drifters!!!

That look
In EVE, first time i was impressed by the graphics. It was so good, i knew the game (even if it was 12 years old) couldn't look like Tetris but still... It was so detailed but my (crappy) PC still could run it on almost max settings and i was like hit by lightning.
Sometimes i am sad because i don't enjoy the scenery like i did when i played first times...

Finally a... Helios!
I am a bit ashamed that i have been doing for more than 6 months and only now i am able to fly a covops ship (and a stealth bomber) and i trained for it just because my corp leader said that is mandatory to be able to fly a stealth bomber as soon as posible so i put skills to train and went to do FW.
As i was AFK for like 4 days, when i came back to check skill queues i discovered that i have only 2 weeks and 2 days (lol) left on main character so even if i will be able to gather like 1mil LP on FW character i will probably won't be able to buy/sell soon enough to PLEX main (i have more than a month on Pierre and i wait for t2 things to be trained).
This means that i need to explore a bit (a bit more) so i fit up a Helios and headed to Providence to look for some sites but as it was before down time (and lack of time) i did only one relic site (around 16mil in loot). My goal (hope i can actually don't be too lazy to finish it) is to make 1-2bil in 16 days by explorating more or less than 2 hours per day. Will see if i manage to fill up the goal.

Gambling in Jita
Most of community says that local in Jita is awful, worthless etc. I had the same opinion until last Wednesday when i had to do some market things in Jita.
A guy tried a contract scam (over priced item) and i said that the scam was really weak then a bunch of other guys (we dominated the chat for like half an hour) begun to speak about how weak are some scams and then a guys showed up with a game: he was selling (in contracts) items far more cheap than on market.
First was a bunch of Slicers a 1mil, it was true, there were 1mil and almost bought all except the one that was 1bil, whatever. Next he tried with cheap Confessors and overpriced Coercers, here i could get 1 Confessor but i also got an over priced Coercer.
Then the game stopped, i quick sold the items (made like 10mil profit) and log out. Overall it was a funny experience and if can do it again i would do it.

InfoBlog No.4
I am back and ready to play/write like a slave on a cotton plantation (ignore racist joke please). So, 3 days i was off, in this time a lot happened: i saw like 1/4 of my country (from train but still), i (and my team) probably managed to be in top 10 (from 41 teams), i made friends but probably i won't see them again (i am sad) and i came back to a fucked PC (some dubious application were installed and i couldn't get more than ~10 fps in anything so i had to clean the PC first...).
At all it was OK, but the part with friends made me sad and i can't get out of this, hope that after a bit of sleep i will be better. I have somethings to write, it will be surprise, stay tuned and see you in game!

The third InfoBlog is here and bring both good and bad news, let's start with the good ones: we hit more than 500 blog views, you guys are awesome, thanks, a lot! I hope that i could get some devoted reader and if i did it, my goal is hit.
Bad news are that i must be away from EVE and blog, as i am traveling for 5 days and i doubt that where i go i will have a PC with internet connection, after i return, i plan to write a few guides about different things in EVE. See you then, fly safe !

To TierV and beyond!
Militia often do fleets of all kind, mostly for capturing plexes or for bashing iHubs (we almost hit t5 and our LP income is greatly increased by this). For me, first type of fleets is more interesting as we actually may have a bit of PvP and i have a chance. This type of fleet we did this morning and it went very well for me as i got my first two kills ever in EVE, here are they:
Of course i couldn't take the Garmur just by myself but the Inquisitor could be an easy target at it wasn't even fitted. Speaking of FW, i think i will haul (or get someone to haul) the stuff i buy from LP store to Jita so as it will sell a lot faster (even if i make a little profit)
PS: So far i made more than 150mil from FW with a 1 and 1/2 weeks old character, i love FW!

When you help somebody...
I am new to EVE compared to guys that play from the beggining so i ask a lot of questions, what i should fit here?, should i go there? etc but also i am a bit more experienced than newbros and i have a lot of fun teaching them.
Yesterday, a guy that joined AirHogs a day ago (ISKHogs - FW part of AirHogs) and that didn't knew what FW involve (he was poded in hisec with most of his items), wanted to quit the corp. I asked him why and he said that those things (PvP) are far more late in game than he is (he has like 1.5mil sp).
We then begun a conversation about how to get money and have fun doing FW, a conversation that lasted almost 3 hours! But it was my best time in EVE so far, i brought him to Rens, explained how to fit a ship for PvP (an Incursus for the moment), how to choose what system to do plexes as a noob and at the end of conversation i gave him like 30mil for future fits and he was very thankful.
The feeling that you helped somebody is just awesome and i say that all veterans should help the noobs if they have time to do it properly.

Do you barge, bro?
Some guys like to break the meta and to be creative about PvP, one of those guys is Leo07 that came with a Procurer (yes, a Procurer) fit which pretty much fucked anything that you will encounter in a FW battle. Below are some of his best preys (and two loses, but the fit pays of in my opinion), really impresive!
In the end here is Leo's message for newbros in PVP: "anything is possible when you believe in yourself". Thanks Leo!

Scan Pierre, scan!
In EVE, especially when you explore, fw or in almost any thing that requires to undock and go to a less safe place. I did a hell lot of exploration and now i am dancing with fw so d-scan is mandatory in both of them. Usually, i don't d-scan if i am alone in the system (or with friends) but i am starting to scan even if i am solo in the system, the paranoia is strong when you know you can't hit back most of the times. Even if i am starting to be paranoid, d-scan is a really good method to see what's coming to you and if you can/want to fight it.

Bashing the Hubs
In FW to get a higher tier (and more LP then) you need to bash the infrastructure hub (IHub) of a system that has been 100% contested. The mission seems easy as the IHub doesn't shoot back, but when the IHub has a shit ton of hit points, you are in a time race, with many war targets in system the mission is a bit harder.
So far i was in just 2 IHub bashing fleets, one of them was succesful as we destroyed the IHub, and the other was less succesful because we had less than 30 minutes to destroy the structure (downtime was close) and we didn't had too much damage so we gave up and planned to do it after the downtime but i couldn't be there again, i will ask in millitia channel if we got it or no.
It's very interesting to be in one of these fleets (or any fleets at all), as you feel you are part of something and you can make a difference, but my Rifter is pretty low in damage for an IHub bashing fleet, so i guess i will train for a destroyer (Thrasher, Catalyst or Cormorant probably).
My FW alt is doing pretty good with the navy cap boosters and with 1 type of implants but the rest of items have pretty though competition, i want to spread my selling list so i am not bounded in only 5-10 items.

The difference between EVE's community and others
Any game has a community around it. For those games that focus on multiplayer the community is an important part of the game (more important than for singleplayer game). Most of the games (focused on multiplayer) out there are pretty easy to handle even by kids (i don't have problems with kids) and this can lead to less... fun in game.
Let's take some examples: League of Legends, Call of Duty, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, DoTA and many more are quite easy to be handled by kids and kids don't have the best patience so if the game isn't going how they want (this rule applies to some adults too) they start to rage or to quit the game, in generally spoiling your game.
The complexity of EVE is a good thing in this thing as by that the community is "filtered" by most of ragers and other game-spoiling dudes (the subscription method also filter the community as most of the kids aim for free games).
Until now i meet only nice people in EVE (ignoring trolls, but still no rager or idiot players) with which i could laugh and get over real life problems (a girl from a chat was suffering from depression and the guys in chat were really cool and nice with her and supported her - this happened in November 2014).
In final i want to say that i haven't met a community like EVE's one (maybe TF2's community) and i am proud that i can be a part of it.
Damn white paper
I promised an update about my trading project but i was to lazy to write it at the time so here it is: Below are my items that i try to sell, the results of last few days (not bad but it could be much better if the items would traffic faster) and a very interesting item (that Pyth X-Type shield) which i could make a lot of money, but the competition is pretty thought. In this rate i expect to make 1-2 billions until my PLEX expires. So far i aim for medium to low volume items that can bring a bigger profit even if i need to wait a bit for it.
On my FW alt, i still research for good items to buy with LP as i aim for +1500 ISK/LP rate, so far i have like 70-75 millions in some items but with 120 000 LP left i need to buy more so i expect somewhere between 150-300 millions if i use all of LP.

Horrible days
Three horrible days in which i lost more than 100 millions. All started 3 days ago, when i did a fleet with a friend with the purpose to plex higher stuff. I had a Firetail that worth like +20mil (i miss fitted some modules so i was keep losing ISK because that) while i tried to help my fleet friend but Succubus + Hawk hit hard. Then i tried some Slasher/Breacher fits but they were horrible or i didn't know/had the skills to use them properly. The Condor fit was preety good as a tackle one but my damage was just too low to destroy even the NPC, i was bored and i just went yolo on somebody. The next fit, a Rifter was pretty good actually as i managed to almost destroy a Slasher with t2 fit, but he was faster than me and escaped, just to return later and destroy me because i was at half shields and alt+tabbed. Further fits were either destroyed in gate camps or by my retardism (when i was podded i lost a 50mil clone). Here are the killmails, don't hate too much.
PS: I am in a Firetail again, and just as an information, my first offensive plex have been done in a Firetail, i start to love this ship.

Factional Warfare: actually profitable?
Never though that FW can be so profitable, and more important, never thought that a 150k skill point character can do it profitable. Well it is. You can go to do FW as soon as you start the game (i recommend to do the career agents as they give you basic skills and some ships) and still make a lot of ISK. In 3 hours i managed to get 82k LP so +/- 82mil (if 1 LP = 1000 ISK) and lost like 10mil in ships before i was able to fit properly a ship and don't die like a sheep. For a 2 days old character this means a lot as it can be done almost safely. Also you can go in many fleets with your alliance and learn how to PvP properly, and also the training for t2 fit (frigate) is probably less than a month.
As Markee showed in many streams, you can make more than 1.5bil a week by FW, just need to buy the good items from LP store (search on his channel for this kind of tutorial).
If you want to play EVE, make an account on this link, subscribe for a month or more and if i get a PLEX i will give you half of it's price in that day (more or less than 400mil) or if i get 30 days of game time, i will give you 40 millions (enough to start doing FW and earn a lot more).
LE: I got killed by a Hawk and a Succubus, at least my pod escaped...

Trading Project: First Days
That speaking about trading in earlier posts made me to start again as well. As i don't have too much time for EVE, and i already started a FW alt, my main is going to be the trader (station trader). Went to Dodixie, researched the market of some faction modules, put buy orders for the most wanted items (and those i could afford) and waited.
Now i have: 151 millions in buy orders, 60 millions in sell orders (i don't count the other orders that were up before this project) and somewhere between 50 and 100 millions in assets (again, just from this project).
My goal is to get at least 5bil until i have to PLEX, checking the orders once or two times a day, i think it's possible. Also, this series will be updated about once per week or more if somewhat interesting happens.

Fighting for freedom!
I watch MarkeeDragon pretty much every time i have time. He is a nice guy, he has some good tips, and he brought me to FW, well his videos, that proved me that PVP is a funny thing and can bring hell a lot of money. So i decided to start an alt with my buddy invite link, send him some money for a PLEX and a bit more for some ships and skills.
Minmatar this time
In both real life and video games i prefer to be the "good guy", and as i was a proud Gallente member with both my main and other alt, i decided that i should be Minmatar this time. I liked the idea that Gallente were "freedom guys", I wasn't too much into Caldary (i enjoy missiles thought), and i hate Ammar for practising slaves trades so Minmantar seemed to be the right chose.
My FW alt is named "Pierre Vailant" (reference to Lupan Anton, some might know), i made him thinking about a young hope that can bring freedom for Minmantar forever. Let's get into game.
Rens and Thrashers
I choosed Rens as main base because it was the nearest trading hub (didn't check Hek) and there i could buy/sell things faster.
On my first attempt to defensive plex, in Amanake, 2 Thrashers were camping the gate and could instalock me, 2 shoots and i was dust. Next try, i bought another Rifter, planned to avoid Amanake, i didn't and almost died but i was able to warp this time. Once in a good Minmatar system, i warped at a large plex, and waited, checking the dscan as the system wasn't so quiet.
I had a bad headache so i couldn't stay too long and didn't focused too much either. In this time, a guy in a Prowler (i though Prowler = good pvp ship, it was a fucking industrial) was baiting me, so i had to warp on and off the plex so many times that i chose to log off.
Later on i managed to do a plex (i got 5775 LP for 10mins of work), and i could do more if a guy could stop to hunt my 3mil Rifter in an Astero. I tricked him a bit, but i was talking to an AirHogs recruiter, i forgot to dock and the guy in Astero got me near a planet.
So far i plan to train my skills more, so i can offensive plex to earn more money (and to win fights). More will come!

Big quest for nothing V5.5
This will be just a small update on my adventures, a bigger post will come soon.
When laziness hits
I don't go to explore. Past 5-6 days i just rat with alliance and mine, i did just a single exploration trip, yesterday, in which i found just one relic and a lots of worthless datas, the relic brought me about 80mil so i can almost sure PLEX, i need just to haul the cargo in hisec. A second exploration trip i plan to do today, after downtime, i will see, but if i manage to do it, probably i can make more than 100mil.
My manufacture empire is stagnating, but rigs and Vexors are selling once a day or two, steady income, i plan to get into large rigs manufacturing as much of Providence guys are using battleships i guess these will sell much faster.
That's all for today, more adventures to come.

Star Talk
In my tiny room, i often think about all kind of stuff, from a great game that i want to make, to New Eden. Most often i am thinking about space, physics and math. Why? I don't know, i love math, i love how all things have sense, how you can do anything with math, you can built life, you can create games, you can do what you want.
Even if i am very interested in writing, my heart belongs to math. National Geographic's series about physics and universe fascinated me from beginning, but "Cosmos a Spacetime Odyssey " and "StarTalk" were astonishing.
What i want to say with these? Just that if WE would stop fighting each other and invest in science, we could make New Eden a reality, but that's almost impossible right now. They will remain with money, we will remain with beuty of math, physics, and more important, imagination.
I really recommend those two shows above, they are mind blowing and fascinating, they make you dream...

InfoBlog No.2
Second episode of "InfoBlog" is here with some news about the blog (of course!), here we go:
New design - i applied for being an official EVE fansite, and using the prerequisite that CCP provides for fansites i changed the look of the blog, hope you like it (any suggestions are welcome). Link for the prerequisite is here:
Fansite Kit - it's a bit (more) outdated but has some very good images to work with (i used Photoshop CS6 for the header), i recommend if you can't get high quality images from elsewhere.
More links - as i wrote on the new page of this blog, i want to link as many EVE content i can, but not so they can link to me, no, just for spreading EVE comunity.
Contest ahead - first i need to PLEX so i can be sure that i can give the prizes. The contest will be a about EVE (probably write a little story), still not very sure about it, more to come.
That's all for now, just a short update on blog status, hope we can become an official fansite, it means a lot for me.

Trading in EVE
History - i wanted to be a trader...
Last time i spoke about manufacturing, anybody can do it, but not anybody can make profit out of it. Same with trading and anything else in EVE. I did like a month or two of trading to be able to comeback on my main (inspired to trade by croda).
I've started like him, with a 8mil capital from career missions (sold all the stuff i got) and searched for a good margin margin items that i could buy in Jita and sell in Dodixie, i bought mostly blueprints and ammo and i hauled with a strip fitted Catalyst.
I could make somewhere between 10% and 50% profit for every item but ammo and if i would been less lazy i could make enough to plex two accounts per month. Sadly some items were so low in trafic so most of my ISK was stuck for more than a few days (this happened with some blueprints, t3 subsystems and some rigs).
Present - you want to be a trader?
Well, i must say that i am not a trader, i didn't get rich by trading so i can say i am the best one to give advices. Best tip that i can give is to check out croda and gevlon's blogs: marketsforISK and Greedy Goblin . They thrived in New Eden by trading and both have some good tips to use when trading, but most times trading means searching for an item that has a good profit margin (between 10% to 1000%), sells at a medium pace (less trafic = more profit but also more time for selling) and don't needs much order babysitting (of course, you can let your orders in the same level for more time but if you have competition, you won't sell your item too soon).
With minimum skills and time you can make a really good profit by doing almost nothing, this is mostly used by alts to fund the fun on main account and if you don't love number and economics i suggest to don't follow this career on a main.
Future - i want to be a trader!
I plan to open an alt character on my main account and use him as ISK source, but i am not sure at this moment if i want that number roller coster again, i will see...
But if you like numbers, and want to make easy ISK, then trading is for you, as the skills aren't so important, you need them when you have high capital.
That's it for today, what career would you like to hear abou next time?

Smashing rats for fun
I said in early post that i hate to do missions, or even rat for a longer time than 10 minutes, because i am bored to look at some lasers or missiles that shoots some (mostly) static target and to get like 1mil ISK.
As i moved my most business to null sec, i started to rat in a Vexor Navy Issue with a t1/meta 4 fit with a mate. It was fun, i did it like 3 times until now and i got like 30mil per hour + loot price that i will get at the end of the month, a good income if you have free time.
We run the sites in about 10 minutes if we are just two (a battleship and my VNY) and way less if we are three or more, so more guys, faster clean, more ISK. I can tank pretty OK any anomalies (we don't run combat sites, not me at least) in Providence with the fit on the bottom of the post, sadly i can't go in expeditions as they have way more damage.
I will do more ratting when i will have free time and nothing to do but for the the early future (is that even an expression?) i will try to explore so i can fund my PLEX (and maybe fill a bit of my goal, i don't think i can do it in 2 days as i am lazy as fuck).
Here's the fit i use, cost me like 90mil but in Jita you can get it cheaper, also it's really easy to fly by a noob (as me) in PVE. You can use all modules but repairer and afterburner without running off capacitor and the sentryes can bring a good junk of damage to any rats in anomalies. This fit is meant to be used with a friend that has at least a battleship and can tank most of the damage, just don't try to rat in this in null without a friend, you can try in hisec and maybe in null with t2 things but i recommend getting a battleship as fast as posible (i will do it too). The fit :

Medium 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I

What I've learned from EVE
As many games, EVE learn you something, a bit more than other I'd say. In almost 5 months in New Eden and i want to share with you what I've learnt in this time. Firstly i need to say that for many of you, 5 months are literally nothing but for me it was a very interesting period. So, what I've learnt from EVE:
Time is gold - you need to have patience for things to work, you can't and you shouldn't hurry if you don't know what to do. You can speed up the skill queue in EVE only by remapping or by purchasing implants, but you should know what are you doing before spending hundreds of millions on implants or before you throw away the remaps.
Use your brain - you have one, you should use it. Scams, gate camps, pursuits, reverse psychology
and a lot more. All of these are in EVE and if you will won't think twice before you do anything then your wallet and clone may be in danger.
Trust no one - if you don't know him in real life (and even then) just try to be sceptical to everyone and everything in New Eden. After some months/years with some players you could trust them but remember, there were some big thief in EVE that took years of trust. This works in real life too.
Best ship is friendship - this may interfere with the above, as i said to trust nobody in this game, but you can't be alone in this game (nor in life), solo you are a free target, but in a corporation and in an alliance, you can do big things. Example: past days, my alliance, Tide Elemental did a pretty large fleet (large for me) of more than 450 ships in a try to take a SBU. I tried to fly with them but sadly, i couldn't stay until the action begun, but i watched Daopa's stream (link on "Link list" > right part of the blog) and it was a pretty big fight. Next day i've found that we got the SBU. Starcade was my second corporation and i stayed there just because i had guys (and Kiarla) to talk with, they were helpful and accepted a noob. You need those type of guys in EVE and life.
You can succeed in anything - you just need to have goals and stick to them.
That's most that i learnt from playing EVE, of course i didn't write about small things, it would be worthless.
More next time!

InfoBlog no.1
"InfoBlog" will be a series in which i will write about blog status, what i plan to write, what's going on with post and that sort of things. So, first episode is here:
Firstly i want to thank you all for your support, even if it's a quiet one, as we hit almost 300 views in less than 3 weeks (not a huge number but for me it is) and for this you have my sincere thanks. I don't aim for millions of viewers, no, i aim for loyal readers, even if they are just a few.
Second thing is the pace of this blog: for most of the time i had like 2 posts per day, mainly because i had time to write and i had about what to write. Now i have less time to be at PC as i will have some important exams this summer so less posts per day as i won't do very much on EVE. On weekends i will try to write more, aiming for 2 - 3 post per day (depends on RL program).
Third thing is the account status: currently i am playing only on Lupan Anton which has 510mil liquid ISK , 163mil in sell orders (null only at this moment) and with around another 100-200mil in assets all over the New Eden (Dodixie/Providence mainly) and i have like 11 days to PLEX, i am pretty sure i can do this easily (i was lazy and didn't explore much in past 3 days so almost no income). I will probably going to pay for a 3 month subscription (if i get my exams ^^) because i want to have a relaxed summer before i am going to high-school, we will see thought...
The fourth and the last thing i want to speak about is the quality of this blog: as many (i guess all) of you have seen, i am far from being a perfect English writer (speaker) and i am sorry for this as i know this may affect the quality of the blog. Also i am not very skilled in Photoshop or CSS and the blog's template may not be one of the best out there, i will try to improve it if necessary. From a 1-10 scale I'd give my blog a 5.
More on next InfoBlog, fly safe!

Second thing is the pace of this blog: for most of the time i had like 2 posts per day, mainly because i had time to write and i had about what to write. Now i have less time to be at PC as i will have some important exams this summer so less posts per day as i won't do very much on EVE. On weekends i will try to write more, aiming for 2 - 3 post per day (depends on RL program).
Third thing is the account status: currently i am playing only on Lupan Anton which has 510mil liquid ISK , 163mil in sell orders (null only at this moment) and with around another 100-200mil in assets all over the New Eden (Dodixie/Providence mainly) and i have like 11 days to PLEX, i am pretty sure i can do this easily (i was lazy and didn't explore much in past 3 days so almost no income). I will probably going to pay for a 3 month subscription (if i get my exams ^^) because i want to have a relaxed summer before i am going to high-school, we will see thought...
The fourth and the last thing i want to speak about is the quality of this blog: as many (i guess all) of you have seen, i am far from being a perfect English writer (speaker) and i am sorry for this as i know this may affect the quality of the blog. Also i am not very skilled in Photoshop or CSS and the blog's template may not be one of the best out there, i will try to improve it if necessary. From a 1-10 scale I'd give my blog a 5.
More on next InfoBlog, fly safe!

Big quest for nothing V5.0
I haven't write anything in a while mainly because i didn't had about what to write or didn't had time for it. Meanwhile i manage to don't die in an exploration run and bring to hisec almost 350mil (my goal is 2b in 18d). So here are the news:
The Curse is gone
Or at least this is what i think. I had luck, i didn't died, i sold the stuff, i am happy! Long story short: after DT, Providence was full of sites, mostly data, but the few relic ones gave me the most ISK - somewhere between 120-200mil.
Not much to say as it was a pretty quiet run with no gate camps involved.
What I did with money?
Majority stay in wallet for the next PLEX buy but i still had enough to buy a Vexor Navy Issue for ratting with my alliance (~100mil), with 10mil i bought and fitted an Incursus for some frigate PVP (shame fight for me as i was killed by a Condor with a 1mil fit) and i had to rebuy an exploration frigate as in a second attempt to run in Catch those days i got caught by a Vagabond in a bubble (1 alpha and i was dust) so another ~10mil.
Meanwhile i almost finished the order for my corp leader and my rigs are selling at a good pace in Providence so i am happy.
GOAL OF 2B IN 18D STATUS: 350 - 100 - 10 - 10 - other minor buys = ~200mil. (14d left as i had to be more offline for 2 days)

Big quest for nothing V4.0
Heron's Curse
Aaaand i died again. How? Well i was doing a Catch tour, getting good ISK but when looking on map for a returning route, surprise! the shortest route was probably heavy camped as in an hour there died 30 ships so i chose another route. The road was a bit too travelled for my taste but nothing happened until 1 jump before lowsec. In that cursed system (it was in Curse region lol) i was caught in a gate camp by 14 guys with Sabres and other nasty and scary ships. I chose to align to a planet, activated warp drive and at 1 fucking second before i could start to warp to safety, a bubble has been deployed. At least it was fast, in less than 1 second being killed and then podded (only 1 volley for the ship lol) and there went 150mil...
Gods were invoked.
The future
I have noticed that i lost a lot more Herons than any other ships so i choose a Probe for my next exploration trip. Also my corp's leader gave me an industry project for the corp so i am busy getting all the things and skills i need for all the stuff, i hope i can get some profit out of it. Speaking of industry, my rig empire is growing as they are selling pretty good for a nullsec region, i am happy so far and i look forward to extend it.
The goal
18 days in which i MUST get at least 600mil as PLEX is going higher and higher so i set up a goal for myself: get at least 2billions in 18 days. The surplus is for funding the Incursions ship that i plan to fly.
That's pretty much for today as i prefer to write more post with small updates than write a huge post but less frequently as i may forget some things. Thanks for reading me!

Big quest for nothing V3.7
Just a quick update on my exploration trips: i did another run after the last post from this series and i succefully brought like 60milions to a station in Providence. I plan to get more loot there before i haul them to hisec as i save time. Also like 10millions of those i will keep there for my manufacture jobs.
My Heron is ready to go and i will soon update this series, but after a travel through Catch, hope no many gate camps. Speaking of gate camps, i escaped a Svipul in the previous run, probably because i was too far away for his warp scramble to work (like 13 km away but i saw the icon of warp scrambler on my ship) or because he accidentally stoped it, anyway i am happy with +60mil as i will soon need to PLEX.

Manufacturing in EVE
I said in an earlier that i have started some industry jobs. Today i just finished my first batch of rigs that i look to sell in Providence and also finished a faction cruiser for one of my corp mate. Overall with the cruiser sold i made a profit of 8 millions as i start the job before the update was alive and i wait to see how fast the rigs will sell, planning to sell the second batch in northern region of Providence.
In this time i though about manufacturing in EVE and i think that it's the most non-newb-friendly career to choose. You need pretty high skills and a good starting capital if you want to actually make some profit (of course you can start as soon as you want but the profit will be almost null). At this point i was thinking about making manufacturing a bit more newb-friendly but i got the conclusion that you can't let a 1 day old character (first time in EVE) to flood markets just because they don't understand the economy yet.
As a conclusion, for me at least, manufacturing is a career very well optimised for the the game: until your skills train up you will learn more about different items and their economy so you can actually make profit by manufacturing. I may be wrong of course.

Logic gaps
Sometimes i have moments when i can't figure how a thing like 1+2, or when things makes senses in my head but practically they are just wrong. This thing happened in last post: i said that i met a guy and he read my blog, then i wrote here that i told him i can't afford an Astero but i have 350mil in wallet. You got it?
I write this post as an advance sorry if i will do this type of mistakes in future, please notice me.

Big quest for nothing V3.5
If something can go wrong IT WILL go wrong
I was wandering around Providence - Catch for a day, i can't complain too much as i got around 100-130mil from 5 sites but on my way back i made a mistake: didn't stop looking for sites when the local was spiking. And with 5 jumps from Providence, i was destroyed in a relic site by a Loki (he warped cloacked in site, then instalock, i had no chance). We spoke a bit after and that was all.
Frienemies?
Back in Dodixie, i remembered that i have pretty good industry skills so i researched the market a bit (a bit too less but anyway) and bought a few "boosted" BPCs of some defensive rigs. As i didn't had the salvage material required, a guy in alliance offered discounted materials, if i go in Providence for them. In a heron i can't haul all the things back and forth so i decided to set up my rig empire in Providence.
Meanwhile the guy that killed me wanted a convo. "Let's give it a shot" i said. He said that he read my blog and he is also a Providence guy and wants to teach me about doing exploration.
The downtime was there and we couldn't continue but he mailed me some Astero fits (i said to him that i can't afford an Astero, of course i lied as i have more than 350mil left but i don't have nerves for another Astero lost at the momment). I wait him to be online so as we can talk widely, until then, fly safe!

Big quest for nothing V3.0
Last time i sold the BPCs and a few salvage that i got from Providence and Eterium Reach and then i bought an Astero.
No miracle last more than 3 days...
... because i must encounter Sabres. I think you got it: i've been podded by a Sabre. Long story short: again traveled more than 80 jumps for just a relic site, i got caught in a gate camp and now my Astero is star dust. I am sad now.
Looking forward...
... for a Heron! As an irony, i am way less podded when i fly a normal frigate so i said "Why not, Heron you are my choice!" and went back in nullsec. No risk, no ISK, right?

Mosaic - opinions
The next EVE's update, Mosaic deserves its name: it's mostly focused on skins that will be introduced. The most important changes, in my opinion, are those for ores and SOV changes. The others are either purely aesthetic or minor changes. As i talked about ore and SOV changes here, i will be talking about what i think are the others important updates:
Opportunities
This feature is meant to help new players to handle the game more easily, and CCP reports that the players who tried Opportunities went more deep in New Eden than those who did just the tutorial.
Of course it's useful to have more tutorials about different aspects of the game but without getting any reward out of them is quite time consuming. For me, an older player, i think that they can help a new player that don't give a shit about making ISK and is a bit confused about how the game works but for a player that actually wants to make ISK by any reason, without rewards Opportunities is a drawback.
3D Star Map
The new map is almost ready and so far it looks pretty damn good. Well, except that it's functionality (in beta) is a bit... odd, especially when you want to probe something but i trust CCP will do a good job with new maps.
All updates can be found here.

Thoughts about Drifters
Few hours ago, CCP released a video about Drifters in which they say that Drifters seems to live by artificial enhancements and also they seems to have some similarities with Jovians. Also in video is showing that the Drifter's corpse was found in a DED site, which made me think if this will be a new NPC faction. This could be a refreshing thing to PVE in EVE as it can lead to new combat, relic and data sites. Also it will probably reveal more about Jove Empire and the backstory of New Eden, a thing that i am very interested.
That's all for this post, remaining to be seen what CCP plans to do with this Drifters.

Big quest for nothing V2.0
I decided to do from "Big quest for nothing" a series as i will mainly do exploration so here is the part 2. Firs part can be found here.
After the hunt for an "Augmented" Ogre BPC, and after i saved my already found BPCs in Hek, i decided to do a last run in Eterium Reach, but in my way back to Hek, i found a WH to nullsec, that happened to be near my alliance's zone: Providence. "Good" i said and went to Provi.
Already got like 200mil in BPCs so some more money from relics won't hurt, i thought. Sadly in over 40 jumps i couldn't get more than 40mil from 5 sites. I decided to go to bring the BPCs left in Hek and haul all the stuff to Dodixie where i could escape of the Jita's chat but i could also get a preety good price.
82 jumps later i am in Dodixie, selling the salvage, checking prices of BPCs and then making a fair contract (in total 10bpcs at aprox. +20% more than other contracts = 220mil). Also i started 2 industry jobs (got the Yacht and Shuttle BPCs after i saw i had them on this account).
Later, after the Yacht was made, i could sell it at ~94mil, a nice ammount of free isk but it could be a lot better 1-2 weeks ago. After all this thing i have made a profit of ~350mil, 90 going in an Astero that i was aiming for some time. At the momment, my whealth is 465mil.
That's all for today, see you next time.
PS: Astero looks so sick!!!

It's a cold dark night in October
Within my very first steps in EVE I've been listening music in background, I've tried rap, rock, and many other genres (many OST from different games too) but the one has a special place in my heart:
Cargo Commander's OST - Down the Drain (actually i don't know how a single music can be named a "soundtrack" but whatever). I guarantee that in long runs (especially if you let him to infinitely replay in a music player) can be very enjoyable: that tired banjo, that tired voice speaking of a cold dark night in October, it's so relaxing, can't explain without thinking about a night of October trapped in deepest parts of space, while you think about your home, and the fact that you don't have one, it's so melancholic. If you want to listen some music while you play EVE, recommend this.

Why EVE is special?
I've got my first PC at age of 6. From then I've been playing quite a lot of games, mostly because i was just installing and uninstaling them without actually finish most of them. Why? I don't know, i love to read, but it's awful for me to play an RPG, or a game that actually has a story, simply i don't have the patience for it. I finished most of COD games, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and maybe another 2 or 3 smaller games, but no RPG finished yet. In 2011 i've found a MMO (Microvolts if you are curious) and there was the beginning of my online gamer path. I played it for a time, mainly because i could don't care about any story if i didn't want to, i was having fun. In the same year i started playing Team Fortress 2 and League of Legends.
Also, i hate MMORPGs, i don't like to spend 1 day just doing same thing over and over just for a level up, it's stupid. Then why i play EVE? Before i actually made an account and get into the game, i search a bit of informations/reviews, majority claiming EVE learning's curve is huge and that EVE is a complicated game overall. But then i found that you could do basically what you want (also some epic stories about thefts, huge battles etc. made me curious about the game). I said "fuck it" and made an account then plexed it with a friend's help.
I need to say that i never found EVE to be complex or confusing, many on internet claiming that the tutorial is a shit, i found it very helpful (not the exploration one thought). I quickly found that EVE is a game for actually smart peoples (don't get offended but that's it), not for raging kids that I've played in LoL, CSGO and other games (i know i was a kid too but i was not that type, i swear). That's what i enjoy most in EVE: the comunity, which i found to be one of the best in gaming industry, and the fact that you actually have to use that thing called brain if you want to play EVE. So that's why i think EVE is special, it makes you thing, it's harsh, and it doesn't give a fuck if you can't adapt. Here's one of my favourite quotes about EVE:

Big quest for nothing
My character, Lupan Anton, is skilled mainly on exploration so i though that the most lucrative method to make ISK at this moment. So far so good, i've activated my imicus, set up the waypoints, and undocked. Providence has prove that it's a good zone for exploration, when you find sites. i didn't. in more than 72 jumps, i only got a data site with crap loot (~1mil), this was my first part of big quest for nothing.
Later that day, decided that i can't go back to Dodixie (or Jita) with just 1 mil so i though about my forbidden love: Etherium Reach. I was there only 2 times in my entire career as an explorer, 1 time getting like 1bil from just 1 data site and the other time being killed in a gate camp. "it worth" i said and set up my route to deepest parts of Etherium Reach.
Etherium Reach, one of the most quiet systems in New Eden, mostly because DED sites are worse than those from other null sec regions. i don't know about combat sites, but data ones, when you can find them, can worth more than 1bil, being very easy to hack (although the cans don't explode when you fail to hack them, you have to bring some firepower as every time you fail to hack a site, some rogue drones will attack you).
The region was quiet as usually but the data sites refused to show, managing to find just 1 site in like 20 jumps (totally 92 jumps) but i barely got 12mil. Bigger luck next time i said and i took a break of another 4 hours.
Night time is time for most EVE players to show, but Etherium Reach remained quiet so i could search for big drops. Now bad things begin: i've found some sites, failed to hack one of cans, some drones started to fire me, i launched my drones but i forgot to target the enemy ones, so i got almost destroyed until i realised my mistake. Had to warp off (forgoting my drones of course), warp back and kill the drones, after hacks, the reward was a bit better but still low for how much i searched for it. Then the region begin to get flooded, i've wine in corp's chat and 2 guys wanted to help me (i thanks them very much) as i was almost dead, couldn't dock and with no drones (forgot again to bring drones after another site).
Finaly i could make it to hisec with help of a corp member, but the exploration was a fail, getting less than 200mil in more than 120 jumps.
TL;DR: 120 jumps for less than 200mil, forgot my drones in middle of nowhere, and almost died.

Old toon, old dirt
So i reactivated my old and main account, Lupan Anton, and i have to cleau up some assets, mainly spread ammong null and hi sec. The newer account i will still use for trading until it expires (don't think i can do a PLEX from 10mil as starting capital in 12 days) then i will move the assets to Anton. Main problem is to set back the industry jobs but i am very lazy so this may take a while.
Hope i will be accepted as a scout for our alliance's incursion fleet, as i don't have enough skills for t2 tank and guns nor capital for battleship and to be a scout would be a good initiate for incursions.
This month will be very busy for me, as i have some important exams at school, and i don't know how much time i will be able to spend on PC, though i'll try to update the blog as much as i can and for EVE i am looking in null sec exploration as a main income source.
LE: No incursion for me because my internet didn't work so i couldn't connect, better luck next time.

What's your plan CCP?
DISCLAIMER!: These are just my opinions and you can or can not agree with me.
Looking into newest devblogs, seems that CCP wants to boost null sec activities. How i come to this conclusion? Well let's see the facts:
- they will change the SOV system and it's most likely that the new one will favour more PVP which leads to more ships being destroyed and more materials are needed.
- the ore changes are boosting somehow null sec mining in addition with doubling of megacyte and zydrine quantities needed to build almost all items.
So more PVP > more ships needed > more resources needed which leads to a higher demand of minerals (mostly miners can profit from this aside from traders) and this leads to either a rise of industry items' cost or an increase in the number of miners from hisec to null sec.
if we look in the minerals' prices, just zydrine and megacyte are going up, all other sinking. i think that most players don't buy from market, probably because of the incertitude of what will happen, also they probably stack up waiting for prices to rise after the patch, though i think only megacyte and zydrine will be higher before this bubble (from Fanfest, the price for this two items is rising, but i doubt it will go higher after the patch).
Miners in null sec are probably the most affected from these changes as more activity will bring more loses to them or a lower of supply so if the number of null sec miners will stay flat, i expect the prices of rare ore (and minerals) to rise with 10 - 20% and with them, the most ships probably even if not so much, otherwise, if more people go to mine, the prices will stay more closer the the old ones.
Conclusions: CCP wants more PVP and a bit of inflation in EVE. What are your thoughts?

EVE, you are drunk
2 days ago EVE was drunk. Me and others couldn't search for other players, when we searched in "People&places" a character name (mostly our alts), the game told us that those characters don't exists. OK we said and we went back to our business.
Second bug was when i tried to jump to another system. All went fine until the gate warped me back in the system where i already was ( A > B, returned to A). Asked other guys if they ever got this bug, seems i was the only one.
The third and the last one was the most annoying. The launcher didn't want to show me the log in screen and sometimes it told me that i was not connected to internet (i was). Restarted it several times, same errors. Tried to "Repair" the launcher, but the repair process blocked. i finally succeeded to log in after i restarted the PC.
A short first post, more to come, until then, what bugs did you encountered in EVE?
