Dem Hybrids

I also wanted to say how much I'm loving Hybrids, I'm working on this missioning guide/overview and as part of the process I cross trained into Gallente, currently sitting in a Brutix with meta4 railguns and HOLY SMOKES!

I'm a brawler, used to being in your face with Auto Cannons or rockets. But doing huge damage from 60k away with crap skills gives me a warm little glow. I think I'll be able to rig up some interesting Algos builds for sure when I spend all that cash

Little Touches

A friend of mine recently started playing Eve for the first time. The freedom to violence peoples boats was the key draw, I'm chuffed he's enjoying it so far. But it was the fact that GM's still send messages to new players asking them how they're doing and if they need help that got me.

GJ CCP, row row fight the power!

A change is good as a rest

So things have been quiet lately.

Time for a recap.

Since my Corp left TNT and returned to HiSec and FW I'm ashamed to admit I have been horribly horribly bored.

I think the main reason is it just feels like more of the same. Don't get me wrong I found you could get some good small gang/solo pvp in FW but you could in Null if you knew where to go/look. Blobs are still the order of the day. Maybe I was just looking at it wrong.

So I decided to use my alt for a change of pace, go back to basics and learn how to not only pvp but to support myself and my pvp habit.

So enter Nyaris, my little NPC corp alt. 1st thing was to get her into a 1 man corp, for wardeccing purposes as well as ditching that pesky corp tax. That accomplished my new corp Fade to Darkness [-FtD-] (Yeah I posted my corp name, face, bothered). Is ready to roll. Time to look at my avaricious options:

I'm going to be trying each of these in a separate blog post, so for now I'll summarise.

PI:
Planetary Interaction. I'll be the first to admit this confuses the crap outta me. I'm going to need to research this more. But making POS fuel seems to be a good investment.

Mining
Nyaris is also trained up to basic mining barge and t2 strip miners, I'm also a bit of a James315 fanboy so I'm a little pensive about trying this, I don't hold miners in that high a regard. Still in for a penny in for a full hold of plagiclase

Missions
Old Faithful. I'm going to be moving to a new area for this (Gallente space) as Peace and Order missions are getting really boring now. I've a Passivecane I'm using for it while I cross train into a Hyp.

Incursions.
Not sure Nya has the skills for this but as and when the Hyp is ready (Another 40 or so days) then I'll also be joining the incursion channels and see what I can do.

Bounty Hunting
This will be after the expansion releases I'm quite interested in the idea as it promotes two of my preferred activities. Making ISK and solo PvP.

Exploration
This is going to need some extra training time, and frankly I'm not convinced of it's profitability, I'm also going to double this one up with salvaging. I want to do all this on one character so probably will be the last option for this series.


Hang on a minute what about Trading, Research, manufacturing and market PVP?

Well to be honest thats going to take too long to train into on top of everything else. While I would like to cover these options I believe I'll do that as a seperate section so I'll cover those another time.

If anyone has any other suggestions to add in feel free to let me know at aracimia@gmail.com in game Nyaris Wolfe or in the comments below! Happy flying peeps.
