A week in Eve

Eve blogs are full of things that you can't talk about for political reasons. I can moan about grinding missions with a new agent to get the implant though, but that's as boring as the actual grinding.

I've been playing with the new API for getting data out of the game, more importantly the ability to put your wallet into Excel. Yes, in Eve you can now even do your accounts properly. More specifically I've been trying to work out how much I make per hour running agent 4s and how the profit works out as part of trying to figure out how much I can actually afford to throw away in combat before I go broke. Note to self: Get secret alt up to running agent 4s.

The conclusions I'm coming to is that I can actually afford to throw away tier 3 Battleships if I want, and so I might as well go the whole hog with a nice T2 command ship. I'm a few weeks off of the Caldari ones, but the EOS is looking tempting too so maybe it's time for Gallente Cruiser 5, which would also open up the Lachesis, which I suspect is going to be very popular after the NOS changes come in and sensor dampening becomes the next closest thing to an I win button. Let's also not forget the Ishtar as well, the last of the really expensive HACs the last time I checked.

I can see my future, and it involves a LOT of drones.

Drones eh? Then I guess you'll be flying Gallente ships soon then?

Looking forward to more regular posts and updates on your API experiments!

Yeah, drones. Only got 1.2million SP in them at the moment and a list of easy 5s, plus that annoying Interfacing 5 that carriers need and so is looking all so tempting nowadays.

I've had really bad luck with gallente ships over the years, the highlight being a megathron that I lost on a mission about 20 minutes after buying it! That was a while ago now though :)
