All Quite on Eastern Providence Front

As you all already know, our mighty and profesional PVP enemy, AAA, just declared war on GoonSwarm. Before the war, Goon empire is crumbling and many elite pilot in Goon already left EVE. Some russian corps are taking advantage of this weakening goon empire by using complexes inside Goon territory without paying any ISK to the Goon. Some says they get 2 billion ISK a day from the complexes. When the goon ask the russian corps to stop using their complexes, the russian refuse to leave. So goon declared war on Red Alliance. Some income of AAA war machine are coming from this russian corp, so AAA declared to goon to save their comrade or e-bay ISK seller. Well, real money can make people do anything. Interesting enough, this weak Goon suddenly like wake up. I think AAA just poke a sleeping dragon and it is a crazy creature of EVE. Very rare breed. At the time, where nobody dare to challenge BOB, the Goon stand up and smack BoB face with their swarm technique. Bob have to leave many th

Thinking Corp name for my alt

I already created 6 characters from my 2 EVE accounts. Each of them i put in trade hub, their job is to easy for me to check item price. By this way , i can check price at Jita from my main in Providence. ISK income is harsh in 0.0 when you still young character. So the best way to get ISK with low SP is trading. It is quite impressive source of ISK income, sometimes i get 100% profit from the item i trade. But i have always to check and calculate my profit, not like do mission when you just kill all rat until they die and report your mission status to mission agent. I was thinking many power, dark, or cool word for my alt corp name, but all names is just not suit my gameplay style. While thinking about the name and read some my friend Twit, i saw a link to a youtube video about a old song. I think God send this link to me just in perfect time. I give you The Trashmen: Surfin' Bird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZThquH5t0ow . My corp for my alt is Surfin' Bird [Bird]. But this

Catch Choke Point

After i wake up, i keep thinking of something. Something about Catch. Something odd about the region. So I open up web browser, just to see Catch region map. Yes, now i know what bothering me. There is one system that control access to high security empire from null space in Catch region. This system i believe is SV5-8N. You can see the Catch map region at http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Catch/F9E-KX .Quite interesting right? SV5 system is the heart of the empire that control Catch region. When you control this system, You can control a lot of enemies movement from entering out getting out from Catch region. I know -A- put a Jump Bridge in HED-GP. As i said, if you destroy that jump bridge, that only way -A- to go high security empire is through SV5. Not bad idea for someone who just wake up from sleep, huh? Bottomline: You conquer SV5, you will criple -A- empire in Catch region.

Damn, I Got JAM

No, i do not get JAM from a blackbird, falcon or scorpion ship. But my computer hardisk got JAM because of my experiment with Partition Magic. After seeing unbalance free space in my hardisk, i think i better resize by using Partition Magic. I move some free space from my secondary partition to primary partition. I done modify it and the program prompt me to restart my PC to complete resize operation. I restarted the PC , suddenly it got stuck at startup. I try restart again, fail, restart again, fail. I try every method to revive my hardisk except using Linux OS. but i so lazy, so i reformat my PC. I have a good back all my data in secondary partition , so i do not mind to reformat my PC. So how about EVE? hmm, because of the PC problem , i lost 12 hours on both my char. Quite sad, but not too much. Oh yeah, my non-combat alt just turn to a badass pure Amarr PVP. LOL. I decided to do mission in both char, so it makes me do missioning faster. I beggining to like using alt, it give free

My Non-Combat Alt

For some, alt is waste of money. To other is to double your excitement playing EVE because you do not have to wait and gang with someone just to do something that require team-work. So for experimental only, i just buy 2nd account of EVE to be my alt. My alt objective is to be hauler or salvager while i ratting, by this trick i can cut time 1/2 of my ratting time and double my ISK income from loot and salvage. The alt identity is still secret because i want to avoid attention to this character. My alt is non-combat, so it is really easy to get be gank by PVP pilot out there. My target is to get ISK enought to buy Game Time Code (GTC) for this alt account. If it going well, maybe i keep my alt. If not, i just sell him to open market.LOL. I read some comments in Providence Holder forum that mining is dead in 0.0 because too many risk to do mining as enemy is easy to get into Providence. Tonight, will be my first alt flying in New Eden. I hope i can get him to Providence by tonight, and y

My Missile Skill Suck

Last night, someone send SOS in Providence Intel channel. Looking at the respond, there are 4 ships on the way to help the victim. I join too. I always join when i am in good mood, actually if i know i can win the battle. My fleet (Drake-me, A vaga, some ships i can not remembered) arrived at the scene, and saw 2 red ships attacked a blue ship at the gate. A Ishtar and a Rapier. I decided to kill a rapier first because it has the lowest defense ship at that time. I lock and unleashed my Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy Missile from my lovely drake. The missile hit, yahoo!!!... but the damage only 40. What in the world, what is wrong with my missile. 20 second on the battle, my missile hit the rapier, but its shield still not going down fast enough. After reds kill a vaga from my fleet, they set their WMD to get out from web range and warp out from the battle. They got lucky. My web point and scrambler is useless because my drake so slow to get to web range and my navigation is still low. i k

I miss the party

Maybe it is not a party, it more to massacre. 2 days ago, Paxton received disturbing report that -A- will hit their POS in catch region. Paxton invited all pilots from Providence Holder to defend their POS in F9E. Provider Holder honor their invitation. Preparation begin. I wait for the big moment.1 more hour to go for fleet assembly in XXX system, but my eyes begin to close down and it is already 3.00am. That's it. I can not hold anymore. I close EVE and going to sleep. What could happened if i not there anyway. Next morning, i read about the operation in alliance forum. I shocked! Providence Holder suffer heavy loss with ratio 20:1. Some mistake here and there, nothing big i guess. Well, if -A- think they can win next time. Think again. Next time, i will bring my blackbird and JAM all your BS. What i can say, i still poor. T_T To people who search about EVE Genco,  please go to http://www.genco-eve.com for more information. For corpmate who found this site, welcome to my non-good

My Drake is Primary?

In fleet battle that involved 10 plus ships, fleet commander will order all ships under his command to focus fire on one particular ship. This technique usually to take down the biggest threat quickly. No tank can hold this attack. The ship that be called to be shot by fleet commander is called primary. Last night, during fleet battle at Providence, my drake is primary by enemy fleet. Even there are many more dangerous ship in my fleet, but my drake is still their target. I still puzzled about it. Drake? maybe it is the most dangerous ship by current standard. But one thing i learned from that battle: i noticed nobody try to scramble me and i have time to align my drake to warp out from battlefield. I still learning, that why i so slow to respond to this kind of attack. This time i got my insurance and my dropped loot because someone from my fleet save my loot from my wreck. Fleetmate laughed when he saw Warp Corp Stabilizer in my wreck. Shame? not. I live in 0.0, i always fit my ship

First Roaming Gang

Yesterday, i noticed a friend post 'alliance fleet invitation' in alliance chat channel. Like always, i join the fleet. i know we can win because usually fleet invitation mostly to defend providence from -A- fleet.But at the same time, i noticed there is not much red activity in Providence. After that i learned that the fleet is a CVA roaming gang which is operating deep inside Catch region. I say, what the hell, i join them with my drake. Oh my god, now i know why they hate to take a slow ship in roaming gang. A roaming gang is fast as the slowest ship in the fleet. My fat drake just slowing everybody down and i can not retreat because i already deep inside Catch region. Then the fleet going so fast, even i got confused fleet destination. Take the wrong turn, i found myself trapped and scrambled at a star gate by a enemy Ishtar. After my Drake shield dropped to 10%, i eject myself from my Drake and fly my pod away. That trick always work and save my pod. After manage running a

My first Kill as Genco

The -A- pilot has been invaded Providence territory with their nano gang. Providence arm them self, 20 ship ready to chase this 'bug'. i am in one of the defender. After doing dancing of death with the enemies, again CVA defeated them all. I got his first kill as Genco. http://www.eve-genco.com/kb/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=46010
