This weekend I was mulling over what to train for next. Its not necessarily the training time of the skills which is the pain, its more the lack of ISK. Fro example I could train for a Carrier in a few weeks but it would take a few months of dedicated playing to be able to afford one, and "there's the rub" as they say!

A Carrier would be nice though. I could get involved in more of the alliance PvP ops where they are a basic requirement (our alliance is currently involved with taking over another alliances system).

Yeah sorry about that. I'll tidy up in a minute.

Oh and I'll just get rid of this building too shall I?

I put this up as a bit of bonus material you might want to enjoy. Nathan Lowell's "Trader Tales" comes in a series of books in either paperback or audio versions.

I've been downloading and listening to Nathans books since the very first chapter of Quarter Share was available for free to legally download from Podiobooks.

See what I did with the title? Pretty good eh?

Sorry if this is turning into The EvE Temple of late.

Anyway I got up really early this morning - too early even to feel like breakfast yet, but never too early to play. It occured to me after I sliced my eyes out last night following a long chat with Stigg in game (just kidding, was a pleasure to help out), that I could offer some advice on selling your ore.

Typing this via the ingame browser :-)

Tonight Im mining ore - a semi boring pastime but safe and lucrative. For my forthcoming battleship I will be using large guns which need large ammo (think Magnum rounds as opposed to 9mm bullets). You need to buy ammo or make it so the cheapest way is to make your own and to do that you need to buy a Blueprint (BPO) which I did. To make the ammo you need minerals which you can buy or mine ore from asteroids and then refine the ore into their minerals.

I joined a new corp at the start of last week. Having been back in EvE for about a fortnight or so I was already looking for friends to play alongside and my old corp had gone into liquidation in the year I'd been away from the game. My current (and only) buddy in the game suggested a corp I could join and it all happened from there.

Last night as I was brushing my teeth ready for bed. The tickly nose feeling came upon me quite suddenly and unexpectedly and was I am sure you can appreciate, closely followed by the burning need to sneeze.

So the expansions been out for a few days now on PC - anyone else playing it?

I downloaded it from the EA store very simply as all of the game data was pre-downloaded in a previous patch and only the activation code needed emailing.

This expansion offers four new maps which can be played in various game modes all set in the Vietnam conflict era. There is no single player mode with Vietnam - just multiplayer, but in my opinion they have done a fine job of what they have given us.
