[Eve Online] Anyone want to do some mining?

[MadBurgerMaker]

What all will that entail?

Some new missions and LP stuff, the different sized rigs (small, med, large), things like that. 

Also possibly included: CCP breaking something, so set a long skill.

And in "What the hell?" news:

In a surprise GDC Europe announcement, CCP CEO Hilmar Petursson has debuted Dust 514, a strategic first-person console MMO that connects in to the existing EVE Online universe, allowing ground battles for planets to be fought by console teams.

  This should go well.

I can't wait for CCP to totally misjudge the balance of this and have every alliance in the game lose the majority of their territorial holdings to the 14 year old halo crowd in one weekend.

Anyone know what "Dust 514" means??

I have created Languid Technologies Ltd., ticker is BERK.

27M ISK for an office though - is anyone interested in joining?

[MadBurgerMaker]

27 million?  Damn that seems like a lot.  But yeah, I'll start moving the alt over there this weekend probably, and I guess I'll apply then.

You don't need an office, just an HQ, so don't bother renting one. Waste of money for a small corp.

Agreed.  All the office gives you is a set of shared set of hangars.

How does someone apply to the corp if there isn't an office then?

They apply at your headquarters.

[Berkut]

OK, HQ is at Yarebap VII, Moon 18.

  :ccp:  Downtime is supposedly ending at 1945GMT, which is pretty soon here.  Of course, the original time was 1230GMT, so.......

Edit:  It works for the moment.  Pods seem to have a new model.   

[Alcibiades]

So my corp disbanded, no big deal I guess, but I managed to pull a seedy.

Sitting on 750 mill worth of pos stuff in high sec, and a 150 mill in ships.

Along with that, they are rebalancing the power of ships, making adjustments so that no one type of ship will be heavily favored. It's always been thought that the outcome of a battle was more or less settled with the presence of a Titan capital ship, the largest ship in the game, as its doomsday weapon could potentially wipe out an entire fleet. However, in the expansion this weapon is being changed from an area-effect to a single-target one.

I renewed my subscription today.

Its been so long that it took me a while to figure out what I was doing again - actually still in the process of doing that.

But it is fun.

One thing I cant remember is what is the next step after a frigate for a miner?

[Berkut]

If you want to mine, go for a Retriever, imo. And get your drone skills up.
