W-space fun

So once again the trauma that is real life has taken its toll on my ability to contribute to my blog, curse you new job with almost unlimited overtime! On the plus side I've still been making enough time to get involved with E-Uni's Wormhole Campus (WHC), to say I've learned much is an understatement and the level of cloak and dagger tactics is always exciting.

In the last month or so I've joined a POS group where I can store more stuff (not much of it shiny just yet) including a couple of T1 logi cruisers, and as its w-space these are the veritable Exequror and Augoror. I've also got a couple of battlecruisers for site running and general PvP but lately the Logi bug has gripped me again. As part of my general plan for this character I want to specialize in sub-capital ships, with the Pre-Odyssey push for Destroyers and Battlecruiser skills to Level 5 I've got those areas covered however I've decided to go back and try and round out the cruiser and frigate skills to the same level. This will open far more Interceptor and Assault Frigates to complement the Gallente ones I currently fly as well as getting access to the various Tech 2 cruiser such as Logistics, Recons etc. and perhaps more excitingly Tech 3 ships such as the Legion and Proteus.

It's taken me some time to decide on what I like doing and I find the w-space community to be great, not only within the Uni but also from various small contacts with members of Future Corps and TRECI, to that end I've been able to look at what I want to do in w-space and Logistics is first on the to-do list. My first goal is to finish my various support skills relating to fitting and logistics in general, sadly this means the level of pew from my guns and missiles will not see any great strides forwards for some time.

Flying a T2 logistics ship was always something I wanted to do but the relatively large ISK requirements between T1 logi cruisers and the T2 variants was putting me off somewhat, so much so that I couldn't really decide what to do for a bit (read July), thankfully w-space is full of many ways to make ISK, as mentioned before I'm looking to move my PI from Low Sec to w-space, the same alt is currently training up to use Codebreakers and Data Analyzers but for my main there has only been one way to make ISK in good amounts and that is to shoot sleepers.

Thankfully most members of the WHC are happy to run sites so on average one or two ops per day is normal in addition to PvP roams or shopping trips where we prod War Targets etc. Due to my somewhat unbalanced schedule I've not been running sites consistently but suffice to say I've not been unhappy with the payouts, so much so that I'm not in a position to comfortably fly a T2 Logistics ship and not be bankrupt should I need to replace it.

That's all from me until next time, fly dangerous o7
