Zama haz Drake

God no please dont tell me your flying a drake

yup my time of flying gallente only is over... so for the heck of it i chose to fly a drake around in small and large gangs a bit.
i hate the thing... but it fits a role wich is standerd ship with DPS and takle very well. has hard nut to crack. so for the time being im flying a drake around (while i train up for the much better hurricane) so that i can have good old jokes with people about how crap it is. tough i have got quite a few kills with it so far. take a look for yourself http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=183003&view=ships_weapons

you can still see a lot of green and i will not stop flying my beloved gallente just i think it was about time i cross train and fly some cool stuff. my current aims are: onyx, hurracane, dram, vaga, cyna, and onwards...

So FACTS is without sov again...

so OWN alliance got booted by reds out of there station system s6qx-n, which is never fun evacing things under fire wile im also trying to do my work that needs to be in the next day...
not too happy about it really but what do we do thats war for you. we have just moved down to trib and are fighting out of there instead

regadless of who we are with or where we are FACTS always seems to do a good job of keeping things togever. we keep fighting and kicking no matter the sit wich makes me very happy.

Solo me

im trying to think of some good ideas for areas i can go solo too (well solo + small gang) want to get my corp some more small scale PvP action
i got some ideas
been watching some red space and some very stupid people flying around in ships i would very much like to releave them of i just need to orginze some ops down that way
also some nice small gang stuff to be had close to home
so im going to let everyone get tehre stuff togever a little more then then do some nice small gang HD and roaming stuff

anyway
till next time have a cookie

An update for the ages

ok so i have had my corp mates naging me to update. i keep telling them i will update when i have time... so all of a sudden i have a moment or two to update my blog about whats been going on in my little world of eve

Income
So i have basicly sorted my income out so i can support my 2nd account with PLEX on my PI produce and pay for my PvP at the same time (which reminds me i need to get a new PLEX in less than 7 days). i have not ratted in about 3 months (well maby to help some guys out or if im really board but not to make any hard cash). i also sorted out a freinds PI to make same stuff and its funded him for a bit :) but he is lazy and cant keep it runing like i do.
i basicly make about 150mil a week off it sometimes more. (no its not a huge ton but its passive income plus whatever else i do i am quite setup just to PvP and pay for a 2nd account).


PvP
so yes i have supported my PvP with PI income (plus other stuff like R&D and a few joint projects). so i got a standerd fleet supply for myself, which means i been able to enjoy flying my Lachesis, Ishtar, Ishkur, Ares, Taranis, got myself back in to flying the Phobos which i stoped coz it kept dieing i got a new fit for it now with more plates and less dps (which seems to keep so far), Eris and Proteus. as you can tell im big on flying the Gallente ships, which brings me to the comment that people think they are underpowerd and need a buff well i dont agree i have plenty of fun in my Gallente stuff i never see a power diffrence with the other races as long as i fly the ship right (which a lot of people dont and they are the ones that moan that they are underpowerd). but anyway since my last post i have broken my faction ship cherry and gotten myself a Daredevil and a Vigilant for fun and im happy i have flown these ships, i will start with the Daredevil not going to share my fit on this coz its my own personal mix up of what iv seen works quite well, at 1st i lost a few coz i needed to learn a lesson, im used to fly my Ares which is an inty so i did the same style in the daredevil go in for the tackle and shoot till it dies... bad idea... basicy you want to fit EHP boosting and AB's to a daredevil and fly it like a AS (but faster) as soon as you learn to fight within our backup plans and there ranges you are very hard to kill. i got mini frig level 5 now so 90% reduceing effect to there speed (which is crazy) stoped a dram dead in its tracks trying to burn to a gate was funny has hell to watch his shock in local as i tore him apart. now on to the Vigilant which i have not flown much or will i very much (fit is kinda crazy) im going to take it out on special ops which i am planing for fun. its not that im scard to lose it but i dont want to make any fleet im in a target as Vigilant is seen as quite a prize kill, rightfuly so its a fanstic solo ship able to dish out some really crazy dps, working on min cruser level 5 which for this which means after its done im going to brake my Gallente only rule and start to cross train some stuff like for more HAC's and Recons maby even a dram...
i know the Daredevil is tecinicaly not Gallente but it still has gallente bouns... :p

Life in Eve
WELL im fairly busy in real life at the moment Uni work is getting a hold of me and i need to keep runing or i will fall behind (was sick for some time). so my Eve time has been limted, so means my PvP has been limted which also means my time for my corp has been limted, which means things are a bit slow in genral :) i hope to give everyone more love soon but in the mean time everyone still does very well.

Corp
i have really only just noticed my corp is kinda old when it comes to EVE corps. FACTS on EVE has been around for over 3 years and seen a lot of changes, shame we are not all powerful yet but we will get there :P.

images
well im not on my home PC at the moment so i have no screen shots to post so lets see what i can find from my freinds and stuff

hehe PI

blast im going to have to look from images off others forums have none lol

 

a cool dude i let you work out who he is lol

i am very happy with the new zama as i was kinda unhappy witht he old zama :)
bring on more please
apart from this mainly i been FCing small gangs around

till next time
zama out!

epic coolness

this is epic
1st time ever i have been able to play eve accoss 2 screens (apart from  main and alt setup)
i will have to play arond with diffrent layouts of windows to see which works best

i love this to bits i can now see EVE without all the windows
also the way the veiw is over other windows (not steched) is so lovely a real vista if i say so

this plus being able to respend my learning skills (and the genral getting rid of leading skills) and the changes in the new patch (inc ammo changes and  genral inpovements)
i have to say its a patch im most looking forward

also playing around some more with fraps im going to start by makeing a video guide to flying a keres in small fleets or solo :)

intill next time
fly sideways

So i made a EVE video now i want a medal

so yer while siting around in my pod i played around with fraps and made this



not the most fantasic thing in the world i know (muisc is crap to start with)
but this is just the 1st stage now i know how to use the program and what kinda stuff it will give me (and tested uploading and very basic editing) i am now going to make the guides i was talking about but useing fraps and a mic :P
thats going to be fun... 

apart from this since i last posted only a few things have happend
My corp has a new home (so we can now center ourselfs once more)
Iv gotten in to some nice fleets with nice fights(also still working on the FCing and cov ops gang work i want to do)
FACTS is no1 on the killboard still (dam we own :P)

so all good times
the effort i was putting in to the old alliance is now going in to my corp and i want to aim high (be recoinised as a major corp in EVE would be nice) so i have whole load of plans and so far they are working :D
lots of plans i have (money makeing plans, Cap building plans, PvP plans etc...)
Im also working on expanding my PI work to incude my alt so i can make 2 times the product i have been able to before (i need to stock up enfo to fill a JF)


intill next time (which might be soon again)
fly sideways

Ok so its been a while (again)

allright i think i keep starting this blog and burning out because i put to much effort in to makeing it sound good. also its a lot of work for me to make long texts that are spelt and gammicaly correct (as you can see in said example). but latey my writeing has inporved a lot so i was thinking i would fill you guys in (yer no one reads this so i am basicly talking to myself) about whats been going on with me and my eve life, without trying to go in to much detail and without trying to write long epic blogs...
i also like to post some new pics :D

so where did i leave off.... ahh PI.

so my PI stuff expanded quite a bit i now have 4 worlds mineing and 1 world puting everything toghter (which seems to be a very populer choice) i will get some photos toghere so you can see how my system works

so what has happend to my Alliance
as i have said i help run an alliance (VVA) which for all instisve resons is dead now (about 30 members all alts of the old directors (inc my own)). long story short: VVA takes in more carebear corps(than we allready have), VVA told to PvP more, VVA makes a massive push to PvP (which i might add starts to work), some people rage quit when we tell them they cant carebear 24/7 (carebear corps leave), others quit as we are pushing hard and they are working hard so they go somewhere else where they can relax a bit (i dont blam them that much), our leader lumis goes MIA (this is just before we are told to PvP more), with no order from up high people lose fiath and start looking else where, LOTS of people leave at once, VVA left with the hardcore (which are very very good PvPers and Eve players), we have a meeting and say we dont want to rebuild again so we will part ways...

thats a very long story cut short and maby i am talking about how i feel it happend.

so what is happening with my Corp
my corp FACTS on EVE... did not die with the alliance as most would think founding corps do, when VVA split ways we took in all the corps membership which was left and wanted to stay in NC space (XSI who our still our very good freinds left to go back to provi and help CVA i wish them much luck as i wish CVA luck as well).
so we said ok lets join another NC alliance, after a good look round and chat with lots of people (offers and such) we settle with OWN allaince... why you ask with all the news of them at late. OWN repesent for us a chanse to grow our name inside an alliance which is still growing and learning. we stand out more in OWN and we will help with whatever they tell us to do. i understand the stuff thats just gone on and see it from both sides, and to be honast i dont care as now i can grow my corp (which now has lots of members and fantasic ones as well its a real joy to see corp chat :D) while not haveing to deeply submit myself to alliance matters and politics.

so we are very happy

so whats been going on with me
well for a while now (ever since VVA droped sov and said to PvP more) iv been homeless new space is on the horazien but iv been pritty much soild PvPing (major fleets and such)
i trying to solo PvP more (and small gang) also keeping up my FCing skills and learning new stuff. like takeing down logi supported gangs and such.
here some stuff i been up to with PVP with pics..

such as bubbleing the crap out of stuff

titan brigeing

Big fleet movement

 Raining missles down on stations (oo yer i have trained missiles skills up and cand fly a tech 2 drake, i feel so very very wrong)

 Lazors on a Ihub!

 MOUR LAZORS on a IHUB

To end with
im still working on them guides (very slowley ofc) and i have a new plan for a maby new type of fleet style... but i will keep a lid on that coz if it works i dont want you to know :P

yer so i played with the new avitars a bit to much and made zama 2.0

  notice he looks sorta like zama but older and more strict (instead of zamas current im passive face)

till next time (which i think wont be that long)
fly sideways!

This world is mine

OK so i been taking a look in to PI and how I'm going to do it

I'm going small scale at the moment (1 world 1 end product)

I'm going to setup on a lava world in NPC 0.0 (which i wont tell you where it is)
This world will use Heavy Metals and Base Metals to make Toxic Metals and Reactive Metals respectfully
then take them metals and make Construction Blocks which i see is used in Tech 2 ships and carrys on to a respectable amount of planetary Specialized Commodities and Advanced Commodities so i believe with demand on this going to be high so i can make a respectable passive income on it :D (here is me hoping)


so the idea is this will be a little money maker for me (0.0 system will give me then eage) i can use it to make some respectable money (not anything crazy) then expand on it if i get the time



i may expand on this later see how it goes (more worlds would be cool but I'm not a big indy player)

iv been using the EvE uni wiki to work out the details very useful give it a look if you can
http://www.eve-ivy.com/wiki/index.php?title=Planetary_Interaction

anyway here is some images of my current setup on Sisi (so this may be subject to change)

so this image you can see 3 extractors for the Base Metals a storage that stores the excess. the goods get moved from the storage to the processing that makes Reactive Metals that then again moved to storage that is linked to one half of the Refined factory's (making Construction Blocks) which then is linked to my spaceport

 The other side same again with the Heavy Metals making Toxic Metals that links to the final half for the Construction Blocks

 

The whole thing:

Now please i would like to know what you think of my setup how could i inpove or if you found to information useful
