Would take no time to give us a heads up. We've got isk to spend and would happily give you a cut.

Mackinaw prices will most likely rise, as will the price of gallente starship engineering datacores used in the mackinaw/hulk bpc invention process.
However I do find it odd that goonswarm is pushing the 'were killing bots' issue so soon after the 'goonswarm doesnt report goonswarm bots' thing that was on the forums. Just seems a bit convienent to me.

Man I just found out about the GSF gank hi-sec oxygen ice miners. Too bad I fly Gallente capitals

I'm interested in this game, but I'm feeling a vibe that you have to put alot of time into this game to be useful. I'm I correct?

Nope. Put in as much/little as you want to. You don't have to grind skills allday errday to be effective because skills continue to train while you're online/offline.

That being said, if all you do is log in to keep the queue active and never go on an op/ log in ask if anything's happening and then log back off, expect to get a lot less out of your life in hatchery than if you spend time online. But at least if you have to play only a few hours a week if you make the most of those you're still progressing in skill points as fast as people ship spinning. (And let us all pray it returns from SiSi asap!)

If I had the isk, I would buy a mining pilot, and mine the shit out of our surrounding lowsec.
I'm a rebel
Edit: Michael can link on his Orca, and get one of the new guys to do bitch work with tractor beams.
|
Made it out to Phoenix today, shame my computer and the rest of my shite won't arrive until Thursday or Friday.
Can someone check "finished" contracts for Pufftrees (not pufftrees everyday) and Teh Slax to see if some of my overpriced mods sold. Looking for CN BCS or Gyro sales, it would be appreciated!
Keep pwning it up, once my shit arrives I will be back on to rumble... I'm going into EvE withdrawal already though -_-
|
13 CN BCS finished on the 30th from Puff, 4 heat sinks on the 28th for Teh Slax.

Ok so I've been thinking bout playing this for awhile, looks like lots of you guys are having fun with it. What kind of time commitment is involved? How much do you need to play per day/per week are you looking out. How much of is it is "mmo grinding" or is that not a big part of it.( I don't want to grind till Old Republic or Guild Wars 2 comes out )
Also I noticed team speak is required  , do you need a working mic, I need to sauter mine back together.
|
If you want to PLEX while on a low skilled account, you're not going to be getting the isk/hr some people in this thread throw around, but if you're not concerned with that there's basically no grinding involved unless you want there to be.

Motbob, I regret declining your potential loan of isk. I would now like to accept your 1% a week terms on any/all the isk you can give me.
Anyone else with 1b+ isk to invest I'd like to borrow it.
