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!

A bit... AFK

Soon, i will have some important exams and i will be less active on both EVE and blog, see you in July probably!

Apply cold water on burned area

I LOST THE GILLA. FUCK ME. FUCK NPCs. FUCK ME AGAIN. IGNORE THIS POST. FUCK ME AGAIN. TRADE, EXPLORATION or INDUSTRY FOR THIS MONTH PLEX? FUCK ME AGAIN. HAVE A NICE DAY!

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...
