Recent Mining

As dusk levels the fading light of the day, a beast lumbers from it's sleep, with an ancient, festering hunger rumbling deep from within its bowels, urging it forward, from system to system, in search of the most prized find for venture capitalists in all of New Eden, asteroids.

No, this is not the keen opener to a classic novella, but instead an introduction to your newest manager, Meatay "The Beast" Pickle, our resident Orca extraordinaire and mining foreman!

Having volunteered himself to sound off on, implement, operate, and manage our mining operations, Meatay has already shown himself to be one seriously hardcore miner. He threw together a mining operation in the past few days that netted almost a million cubic meters of ore in a single night. The week before that he facilitated the stock piling of nearly 200,000 units of helium isotopes refined from the ice his and others gangs brought in to the corporation.

This guy likes a hard rock, and I'm fairly certain that with a name like Meatay Pickle, it's likely his own. His wife must be one happy customer! *BADDUM DUM BOOOOSH*

Ok, well, that's all I have to say about that, before he comes for my scraggly hide and turns me pod into metal scraps!

Recent L4s

As the week has seemed to drag on for some of us through turmoil after turmoil in real life, there has been an ongoing and most fruitful campaign to host L4s. Devin, Fogwlker, Psycronex, and myself have been hosting L4s for a few days now, and they seem to be going extremely well.

Now, while everyone is getting accustomed to these L4 missions, I highly suggest that you seek out Huffdaddy as well in the near future, to do these same missions in the Mamet area on quiet nights when the environment permits.

The reason for this? Well it's simple, we need more people to be on standby for fun and good times, and while Nakri is a great mission hub, it's out of the way and kind of separates our forces, so to speak. Not only that, but you will be eligible to use free frigates or insured cruisers at your leisure, for those of you still in those ships! Eventually, should you devote enough time to low and null security endeavors, you will become eligible for insured battlecruisers as well, and that's just some win right there.

I may also bite the bullet once more and hop on Mithos to finish my own Zoar And Sons standings grind as I got to L2s a month or two ago but then POS administration kind of took precedence overnight.

But for now, ISK is ISK, fun is fun, and I am very pleased to see that L4s and money making ventures in general are being led by our veteran members. Good stuff!
