Hey hi guys! This is Ashurn here.

Couple of you from the Kopitiam channel should know me. Hehe.

pker88 on hardwarezone forums forwarded me here.

So, nice to meet you all.

And I'm already tempted to run a 2nd account for mining purpose when my 1st accout is training for Industrial.

Well, XJC nailed the reason for me.

If I could train 3 characters simultaneously(sp?), I would have stuck with one account. Alas, you can't, therefore a 2nd account.

Thanks for the warm welcome. And welcome to you too, Dawn.

Are there any specific channels you all huddle in? Or its Kopitiam too?

That was some great information there XJC. So it would still viable to stack defensive plates if you would know what rats you are up against. XD

Hope to learn more eventually.

Just one question here though. Are Blueprints Original limited in game?

Or only specific few are?

And are Blueprint Copies made by players with BPO? Or are they supplied by NPCs?

As well as, you do not need skills in anything at all to use a BPO/BPC to manufacture?

Thanks in advance.

Ah, I see...

And hey there Dawx. XD

Oh well, now working damn boring.

Reading on some idiotic posts on multiple accounts are unfair shit rofl.

His arguement is one of the worse. Kept on saying it is unfair to have more than one account due to it being unfair because he cannot afford to pay for more than one account. ROFL.

My stomach was aching like mad from all the holding back on laughs in my office after reading the post.

When people said it wasn't unfair because the oppoturnity is opened to him, he still kept on with his "I have no money and can't pay for it, therefore it is unfair" bullshit.

If you would like to read it, it can be found here.

Yay! 16th & 17th I off! Woohoo.

Now I am secretly training a Caldarian Pilot for ratting purpose. Hehe.

You got that right.

3 accounts.

Edit: 60+ to 70 dollars per month for an entertainment I like is nothing. Since I do not smoke, drink nor go pub/clubs as well.

My only entertainment is either games, movies/outing with friends or just plain good food. =)

Envy? Why?

I mean, I work for my money and I spend it as I see fit.

Just that some people prefer spending the money that I had spent on games on some other things like say, e.g. Cigarettes, beers, wines. Or going to pubs, clubs, bars? Having some other recreational activies like Snooker, Billard, Bowling and such?

Hell, I've even seen some people blow as much as $100+ bucks in arcade playing the Initial D racing game or the new Romance of the Three Kingdom card/arcade machine. Those that requires about 3~4 SGD per game. They just sit there with the big plastic bag filled with one dollar coins.

I don't understand those guys nor would I seek to. Since I firmly believe that one have the rights to choose what they like. (Of course, as long as the activity we're talking about is legal.)

Oh, and of course. For those who are studying and unable to work for an income. Don't be envious/jealous, your time will come. And you will miss the days when you are studying.

Yup, I totally understand some people have higher priorities for some other stuffs. =)

See you in the morning then.

Yay! Seeing more and more new blood.

Yah most people will tell you to skip Destroyer unless you plan to go for Interdictors.

Destroyer imo is. Slower than frigate, weaker than cruiser. Its a half here, half there kind of ship and therefore not really worth it.

Most missions that requires speed, Destroyers do not fit the bill. If need to be tough, doesn't cut it either.

Just my 0.02 ISK here. =)

As for World Collide, ask for help if you need.

And a tip here, someone in game told me. The gate that belongs to Cartel is easier mostly.

Destroyers do make your job in level 1 missions easier. But when I can do it in a frigate no less, should I be paying ISKs and time to learn piloting a Destroyers?

As well as, the time would probably better spent on getting Cruiser and advance weapon skills?

Just a thought. =)

I can fly in a Vexor la. =p

Its something for new players to know.

What I do hope for a change is that Destroyers to be made a lot better than Frigates are but yet inferior to Cruisers.

Plus, give Caldari a Missile Destroyer already. Why should them be using Hybrid Turrets as well. >.<

Every other race had their own specialised weapons for their Destroyers.

Gallente = Hybrid.
Minmatar = Projectile.
Amarr = Laser.
Caldari = Hybrid?! Double-u Tee Fee!

Well, I don't PVP.

I like Missiles because they look way cool. I mean you seem them cruise towards the target and goes "BOOM!".

Way cooler than "Bam bam bam", "Pew pew pew" or even "Chu chu chu"(that is how Railguns sounds to me. )

My alt 2 more days cna pilot a Cruiser liao rofl. And I'm taking it slow as well.

My refiner/miner alt going to pilot an Osprey soon too. So I can start earning bit by bit while training for a Barge.

By the way, a question here.

Any pros here know if the calculations I've made below is correct?

Caldari Cruiser - Osprey

Powergrid: 475MW
CPU output: 275tf
4 Hi
4 Med
3 Low

If I have [Engineering IV] and [Electronics IV] for 20% boost to both my powergrid and cpu output,
I'll have 475*1.2=570MW and 275*1.2=330tf?

Theoretically, I can fit in,

Miner II x 3 = 12MW and 240tf
Mining Laser Upgrade x 2 = 2MW and 60tf

And I will have 556MW and 30tf left to fit some otherthings, right?

Yah high sec mining.

And even if I need to protect from rats. I can always train Drone IV.

Osprey have 20m³ of drone bay.

And I have a free Hi slot for a Standard Missile Launcher. Or I could use the last Low slot for a Co-Processor CPU II to boost my CPU output to 363tf so I would have be able to fit in a Heavy Missile Launcher.

Only thing is that I might not be able to tank. Perhaps I could slap on a few passive shield hardener against specific rats. But then, I ran out of cpu. Haha.

But then this setup I might use to help out with the mining coop.

Ran some numbers regarding this setup, on paper the Osprey can haul in a total of 171 ore/cycle with each Miner II.

So with 3 x Miner II, I can haul in about 513 ore per cycle. Not alot but enough for a Cruiser I suppose.

Ya, Destroyers are only for Interdictors (Tech II Destroyers) otherwise they are not that great. =(

And need to fit in an offensive turret ar? Like that I have to forfiet a Miner II.

I chose Missile Launcher because Osprey got a free Hi slot only for Missile Launchers.

4 hi (3 turret, 2 launcher hardpoints)

So if put in a gun, I can only fit in 2 Miner II and still have an extra Hi if I didn't fit in a launcher. =/

Dela, you okay or not. Haha. That night after you crashed/log out, never saw you again.

You want me to hold on to the ores? Or there's anyone you want me to escrow to?

P.S. My Industrial IV coming right uo. Finishing by 24/10/06 19:55

Sad to know about this. =(

I do not know what else to say though. Hope Les will not give up on EVE just because of the lamers.

Just inquiring, anyone here have BPOs for Dominix and/or Retriever?

If have, do you accept partial minerals and ISK payment for manufacturing one?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone willing to help me see if this mining laser calculator i made is correct?

Clicky

Its just an Excel file in a zip. Since I can't upload an Excel file directly to Eve-Files.com
