Prospect is the covert cloak one right? It moves faster cloaked and doesn't need to uncloak to warp. Thus the mwd/cloak trick works alot better for escaping (not to mention is the only cloak related method really viable for escaping a bubble) as long as you change your vector a bit once you cloak so they shoot past you trying to decloaking you. |

But how is that different from a MWD+Cloak Venture except of course for the uncloaking to warp part?
I do get what you're saying but is that really worth the 60x price, the 3x level five skills to learn all for ninja mining? Living in Null sure as you're dealing with gates but with WHs, not so much.
I'm huge on numbers and cost/benefit so...having a hard time seeing this. PLUS I'm bloody new to WHS and rather ignorant... |

A loss can and should reveal mistakes: from bad tactical habits that had any number of reasons to go unnoticed, to human error in the moment. Your responsibility then - to the people killed by those mistakes and to your next crew - is to make use of what we are: pilots who can learn from losses that would have ended our own lives too if we weren't capsuleers. There's no doubt you're very capable of that. |

Stardate: 26.6.2016.118 Region: Essene Entry: Is it stealing, ore not?
Hi there,
As I submitted my notes late yesterday, this update will be short. I didn't have a ton of time last evening as there were some pressing matters to attend to on the station. So I only went out to stretch my legs, kill a few pirate ships and visit a 0.4 combat site (I forget the type), which after destroying the first wave, realized that taking on 4x Battle cruisers might be a stretch in my little Tristan...not to mention I was low on ammo.
I actually was a bit giddy this morning as I wanted to see if the "free-ore giveaway" was still going on so I hoped into my pod and took a look about 3 AUs out from the bests. Sure enough, there was the "fleet" doing its thing and dropping cans faster than an Andole rabbit dropps "raisins". I scanned down where the cans were and where the mining ships were. Back to the station I went for both a coffee and my uber-tanked Miasmos, the HMCS Liberator, before doing three runs and picking-up another 150K m3 of ore.
I now have a ton of of I'm saving as for manufacturing my own ships....just making the blueprints better...
A good start to the day.

Stardate: 27.6.2016.118 Region: Essene Entry: WTH
When I started taking ore from the cans in space, at first I felt exhilaration followed by a little guilt. I was pretty sure that I wasn't seen (except for Concord's suspect bulletin) and that made the crime anonymous which in turn made me feel less guilty. No accusation, no guilt. As time went on, I felt emboldened and any sense of guilt seemed to disappear with each shipment and I was doing less to hide my actions.
Now, after having amassed over 692,000m3 of ore worth an estimated 134M ISP, I have nothing but contempt for the miner. My guess is that he's using some sort of automation to control multiple ships and while that seems to great idea, it also seems like a huge liability if mismanaged. So far I've identified 8 ships in their corporation but with possible only 1 or 2 really captains. Either way, if somebody is going to be that oblivious to what's going on around them then I have zero sympathy.
My estimated net worth is now 451M with 27% of that in ore, and 55% of that in items on the market. I'm actually getting a bit cash poor but I should be good for a bit. Worst-case, I run a few missions for a corporation.

Remote clone control is legal for CONCORD while each clone is registered as an independent capsule operator. To make it short - CONCORD doesn't give a drek. However, these "capsuleers" are nothing more but puppets. Help Saint James to deal with that slavery. |

Oh that's what I was thinking...Why turn-off an ISK faucet when it's still producing? Seems the miner is catching on now and leaving less cans about now so I'll probably lay off for a bit in the hopes he gets lazy again....

Stardate: 28.6.2016.118 Region: Essene Entry: Time Flies
Hard to believe that four weeks have passed already! How do I feel? Fantastic but a bit unfocused at the moment as I don't feel that I'm pointing in any one direction. I captured two complex in Gallente space yesterday but other than that, I haven't participated in the war at all lately. Mining in Null/Worm space is less of a priority now that I have 950K m3 of ore sitting in my hanger waiting to be processed. My net worth is 500M ISK but that's mostly on paper and I'm still kill-less...
I'm happy where I've gotten but know that this isn't exactly the right path...close but it needs work.

[NC] Don't process the ore. Sell it as it is unless you plan on building with it. You'll get more ISK from the raw ore then you will if you process it without the proper skills.

I'm in the process of researching-up blueprints to make my own ships to help myself in FWs. The long term goal is to move to LowSec but I don't want to have to make supply runs so I want to be mostly self sufficient. |

Something I've heard of people doing in the past but don't know if it's really viable for ya, buy a cruiser, fly it in to your home station, reprocess it and get the materials from it to build a bunch of hulls. I've never done it but I heard of people doing it. Just a thought. |

That takes care of some of the minerals you can't supply via lowsec mining (I would think, not sure you can get zyndrine easily). |

Switching from version 7 to 10 so limited flight-time today.
Yesterday was (surprise) filled with grabbing more ore...passed the 1/4 billion mark !
More later today or tomorrow...

Wow! This conversation has been informative and entertaining. As a new capsuleer myself, I've been taking notes . Tell me, is FW really worth all the hassle? Seems like it's been pretty rewarding for you.
I think this has the makings of a good holofilm. Strong character, family pride, moral quandaries, overwhelming odds, and lots of kills. All big sellers planetside I hear. Never let a market go wanting and whatnot. |

"Faction Warfare" as many call it is a distraction given to capsuleers by the Great Empires. If we are busy fighting in Low-Sec space, than the Empire's territories never actually get touched. Think of FW not as a great cause, but as a way to prove loyalty to your faction, if you have one. But, you will never actually gain anything. The only place you can stake a claim yourself is Null-Sec.
I will say however, that FW is a quite good training ground for those newly initiated into the capsuleer program.
Some call me insane. If the universe is sane, then I embrace that label.

Cheap Firetails and R.F. rounds.... Aside from that, what Karina said. It's merely war games for when "that day" comes. Whether it's "that day" with an empire or a coalition is rather irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. |

I think FW is great as it does so many things.
- Brakes the stigma/fear of LowSec
- Teaches you the basics (quickly) of what to do and not to do if you want to survive down there.
- You can earn not bad LP doing defensive complexes
- You can earn amazing LP doing offensive complexes
- Makes you look around at other regions, plan paths and use resources
- You really start to think about ships and skills. How they work together and how to get better faster.
FW showed me very quickly that life in LS is actually really not that bad and way more lucrative/interesting than in HS. You need to fly smarter but the reward is rather nice when you pull something off.
As somebody mentioned here early on, LowSec is all about the fight or flight instinct. That is very true but really, it's not that bad at all.
I hope to move there one day actually as it's nice and quiet down there
If you have any specific questions, the folks here have been great with tips and advice and if that fails, I'll try a stab at it. |

Hmm...so basically a way to keep capsuleers on the hook without any of it amounting to much. That's what I call a bureaucracy!
But, as everyone's been saying, you get stuff so that's a plus. And I will have to get down to LS eventually, so I might as well be prepared. Who knows? Maybe I'll eventually find a quiet corner to call my own down there, too.
I wonder what the social scene's like down there? Parties? Gatherings? Get togethers? One can't live by the capsule alone, y'know. |

Gather with mates who flew with you some time ago and get drunk. That's the extent of a social gathering you will get in Lowsec, usually.

Still dealing with the OS7 to OS10 switch so no report today other than to say that in Veld and Plag, the two ores my miner friend seems to like, I'm now pushing well past 400M in ISK value...and the sad thing is now I don't even try to hide my actions and don't care if there are 3 hulks in a field...if there are cans about, I take them.
Oh well....
