Old Eve account reactivation

     I know its all synchronous at the moment.  Hadn't played for a well over a year.  Dropped the more lucrative venture of lp farming for Sister's of Eve Scan Probe Launchers and Expanded Probe Launchers.  I come back and it appears its all done on the Market like everything else for LP.  Pay seems about the same average though.  Have a few probes on market in Gicodel to see how sales might be these days.

    Was also doing T2 planetary materials fabrication for awhile.  Not sure how all this goes in high security.  Didn't seem as lucrative then even after Planetary materials harvesting manufacturing came out.

   Did some brief forum trolling as usual, people complaining about low security, pretty laughable and typical, alongside the mouths running otherwise. :)  Mostly I found it were easy at least at one time making billions of isk not even bothering with low security.  One because of risk loss, especially in a majorly low population corp.  Over the years managed to lose I think one tech II covert ops ship once because of lag, staying in .2 and above and as a real noob level IV mission running in .4 or something right next door to higher population high security systems.  Was trying to build the bank vaults hoping to eventually get around to 1 on 1 low geared pvp gunning, was thinking starting another toon alt for this alone, but never got to it.

Between mission running level 4, picking up loot with a decent salvaging setup, and loyalty point farming, was some of the best pay in game from what I could tell for high security.  Think I still have my freighter holed somewhere for the occasional minerals runs.

Starting...combat mission running rocks, couriers get boring to me.  Exploration is time consuming and iffy on payouts...tried some basic battle cruiser and tech II cruiser setups for combat missions, but pay didn't seem that great, and even with supposed capless tank setup still hadn't gotten things setup right and all.  This aside, no LP payout, no mission payouts, salvaging about the best thing I could tell, unless you were planning on some low sec harvesting in the twilight zone with a maybe here and there link back to civ, this being said, even having lost a Domi in a Wormhole years ago, actually thought it were lost for good...some chick toon by the name Dominque Blackpearl  sends me an in game gram telling me she found my ship.  Go figure?!  Tried hiding the abandoned ship in deep space, but it appears even supposedly unpopulated WH territories back then someone found something.  Maybe mining is better on this point, but some problems on this point that I hadn't worked out:

  Gotta figure out how to get the mass through the wormhole and find a decent stash of minerals to make it worth your while.   Have a decent mining setup to do this.  If you could setup a manufacturing base, and put in some type of quick to manufacture good with a decent lump sum of resources starting that significantly condenses product mass to a reasonable amount, even if you cant sell the good on the other end, you might be able to reprocess for raw materials once on the other side of the Wormhole, and you've saved yourself some worry there tripping the collapse with added raw materials pouring through, alongside vessel mass.  Honestly don't remember anything dropping from high sec to low sec WH instances dropping anything other then strictly salvage back then, which would be nice because then combat alone would be in theory offering not only salvage but mineral which is the equivalent of mining if you reprocess.  Not sure how things are at present. 

     Honestly spent far less individual session logs on this one relative to other popular MMO titles.  Game's open ended, and probably the more fun part in keeping to the game, unlike typical strictly shoot em up ventures is the tech bit that goes with the game.  I'd mention while other MMOs have to some degree variable equipment outfitting for different circumstances, the game becomes more task oriented complex in terms of management with simultaneous runs on multiple accounts.  While this could be possible in other MMOs, Eve's seems a bit easier for PVE type tasks and maybe in limited task in some other circumstances.  Also I'd highly recommend before committing oneself to a track, researching and organizing a particular advancement path. 

    Other then that, since I like sci fi games been a writing inspiration for the thinking and technical aspects that get delivered if you like these sorts of things.
