Congrats.   

What have you been up to?

Skill flipping for most of the past couple years.  For the moment now I'm mining roids and rats to make my wad bigger while I figure out what I want to do.

It takes a while, but once you start generating level 3 commodities out of Planetary Production, you start seeing some real profit.

Then again, I just loooove mining.  Still lotsa profit in HiSec for that.

[Alcibiades]

Highest profit in highsec mining right now than I've seen since I started playing in 06.  And supposedly theyre going to continually ban macros now instead of the once a year purges, so they can only continue to increase.

Indeed.  The the best I've ever seen highsec mining prior to this a miner could make 12m/hour[1].  Now its at 20m+.  Lowsec and nullsec ore prices are as shitty as ever, though.

I don't see how this can be driven by cracking down on macros, though.  Nocxium has bounced up significantly, even though its not available in significant quantities in highsec, and pyerite has barely moved in comparison to the other three highsec minerals.

[1] Theoretically.  Practically, due to lack of asteroids, moving, and incomplete cycles its less.

The Russian civil war probably has a lot to do with it, started around the first week of December, same as when the patch came out and prices began to rise through the roof.


Lots of Russian macros probably having a rougher time.

[CountDeMoney]

Fuck the Russians.

[Razgovory]

Ain't that always the way?

[MadBurgerMaker]

They are doing something tomorrow.  Crucible 1.5.  A new launcher, some UI stuff, rookie ship models, and some other stuff.

The Reaper doesn't seem to look like a pile of trash anymore.

I am tempted...but I don't know if it is because I really actually want to play, or I am just bored.

You would just get bored by next Thursday anyway.

[CountDeMoney]

DL'd the new launcher.  Looks like they didn't overwrite anybody's boot.ini files this time.

[katmai]

Well I am bored, so trying out game again, Alci is only one whose name i can remember.

[CountDeMoney]

Just log into the Languish channel.  There's 7 alts for 3 guys in there.

Maybe I can drag you into Fw, since seedy is dragging ass.
