It's been 196 days since my last post.
I cannot do an accurate skills update as the current history only goes back to 20090216. Since the new cut-off, though, I've been focusing on some weapon systems skills. I've managed to get both large pulse and beam laser specialization up to 3 in anticipation of getting an Amarr battleship. While I haven't managed the purchase yet I'm currently skilled enough to bother.
In the meantime I also trained up hybrids and missiles, including Heavy Assaults as they look like they could be fun.
I know there are a few others sundry skills that I managed to squeeze in, but that's not important now.
My new focus, now is through Command Ships. The Nighthawk, in particular. A dead-sexy beast.

20080921 : The Black Hole That Is Jita on a Sunday
Why? Why do I even bother?
To tell the truth a bit of desperation has brought me to Jita on a Sunday. I'm in need of copies of my Shield Power Relay print, but with every station within four regions of me running wait times of over a week I resorted to the contracts.
A nice guy in Jita is selling five BPCs of the SPR, along with about a dozen other BPCs for a nice reasonable price so I thought, why not? It's just a short jaunt to Jita, after all?
On a Sunday.
The ticker on the log-in page says there's 32K+ people on right now. Minus the 258 in the system I just jumped out of, that should make somewhere in the neighborhood of 31,742 people in Jita.
Sounds about right.
[UPDATE] A friendly GM moved me back to Perimeter and added, " I suggest you stay away from Jita for the time being." The up-side is I'm not stuck. I'm also not able to get at the stuff I bought.
I guess I'll just go to the mall here in Perimeter.

20080917 : Skills Update
Just finished Caldari Battleship V, though I'm a bit uncertain what to do with it at the moment. I embarked on it with the idea of piloting a Golem, but after reading of some of the disadvantages I'm entirely unwilling (not to mention unable) to pay the price for the ship.
Now it's on to Shield Upgrades V in 11D 7H 37M.
The next thing to train? Perhaps Heavy Interdictors which is just Propulsion Jamming V and the base ship skill (~26D 21M) to effectively pilot the ship and the Warp Disruption Field Generator. To fully jam out this plan from BattleClinic will take 28D 8H 42M or so.
Opinions?
I'm hovering around 25.53M skill points and looking for somewhere to go.
Fly safe.

20080805 : Update
What have I been up to? Not much, frankly.
I'm getting around to consolidating assets at the moment. I've been bad of late in allowing things to get scattered around a small-ish group of relatively close stations. Currently I'm shuttling off only about seven jumps to grab Halve Maen 3A, my Amarran Cov-Op class Anathema. I want her a bit closer to home. I've still got Halve Maen IIG out in Stac (a Helios), but at 17 jumps through not-so-nice locales that one will stay put for a bit.
I'm tossing around the idea of joining up with the local militia (Minmatar) to give my best to the Factional War. I'm also tempted to spend some ISK and buy a battleship to give the L4s a try in my neighborhood.
Just last night I realized that I had a bit of cash piled up and far too many points with the local corporations so I invested in Political and Military connections. The skills are handy to have when negotiating rates on missions. Hence the interest in the well-fitted Battleship. Probably a Typhoon.
That's the toss-up, really. Abandon the money from missions (and the BS) and join the Militia, or turn my back on the war and concentrate on more money via the connections, the BS, and the L4 agents's offerings.
Decisions, decisions.
On the training front I'm a scant 31.8 days from Minmatar Battleship V, which is a gateway drug to Marauders. I've got to admit, though, I'm almost fonder for the Caldari version of the ship. Oh, well. I'm only about 35 days off Caldari BS V, so if I get that far it's not that much more of a journey (relatively).
I've also got to get around to Metallurgy V at some point. I think there's 18 days left on it as I bagged it partially trained. The only thing that makes me think of it was that I found the Scrapmetal Processing book in a dusty corner of a hanger out in Lustrevik.
One of these days. Maybe.
That's all for now. Nothing exciting I'm afraid.

20080712.01 :: Supplemental
Today marks (I guess) the first time I mention my actual in-game persona.
Yeah. I'm Wygg.
I'm also Badlanders. And Tinkur.
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

20080712 :: Four Months On
I'll take a bit to scribble on this piece of paper, only to throw it into the endless ocean. I'll expect no response. No readers. I'm at peace.
Current status report:
I left MIRE in Tinkur's capable hands for a bit. After a lot of internal deliberations I was thinking of joining a corp again. I corp of substance. I decided to link up with STRIFE Mercenaries. At the time STRIFE seemed pretty stable, but due to a number of issues (seasonal timing not discounted) the corp was short-lived.
Currently I'm tripping about the 'verse in a number of ships (Drake being the top one) trying to up my standings.
To any who haven't bothered, the COSMOS agents are well worth the visit.
I was admittedly tempted to try Factional Warfare, but with my main being so short on cash it didn't make sense.
What with the exploration skills trained up I'm almost tempted to go back on the road and do a pictorial collection of what I see. Sure it's been done, but there's a lot of sites to be seen out there in the verse. If I can avoid those who would do me harm it might be worth the trip.
Opinions?
