It’s less than 24 hours since I first heard murmurs about getting a Rorqual for the system, with a number of ideas tossed around about funding the whole thing.<\/p>\n
Twenty-four hours is a long time for a bunch of pilots trapped in a single wormhole — a lot of things can happen, and apparently they have; by the time I log in, Em has a new spreadsheet set up to track “the Rorqual project”, and people are mining away, tallying up the value of the ore and adding it to sheet in a slow count toward lofty monetary benchmarks.<\/p>\n
It would appear we’re doing this, or at least we’re seriously considering it. Our corp is lagging behind, so I cast our vote with an enthusiastic email and three hundred fifty million ISK sent over to Em to get the wheels turning — I’m a shite miner, but I do have cash, and since the Rorqual plan involves repaying all the investors (eventually), I’m more than happy to chip in.<\/p>\n
Honestly, I would be anyway: as I said, I’m not much of a miner, but several of our other pilots (CB, Gor, Wil, to name a few) definitely are; They don’t<\/em> mine in wormholes due to all the problems with mining that I’ve mentioned — I love the idea of them being able to use more of their character’s abilities — ultimately, a completely ‘realized’ wormhole should be allowing you to use all aspects of your EvE pilot’s abilities (except your official “social” skills, maybe), and this is a step in that direction.<\/p>\n We’re still running the home system with the wormholes closed up, so I’ve little enough to do other than that. The wardec has a few days left; the alliance has lost a hauler in a ridiculous example of poor decision making, but we’ve popped a couple tech 2 assault frigates, so with all that said, we’re ‘ahead’ for the week, and will easily cost the wardeccing corp more than they cost us.<\/p>\n This is probably the most dangerous part of the wardec: with only a few days left and nothing much happening, this is when someone decides to take a chance and run to a market system. I’m not a patient person, and I’ve got no mining ship with which to distract myself, so the safest thing I can do is log out for the night to keep myself out of trouble.<\/p>\n As I head back to the tower, the mining continues, and although there’s no sound in space, I’d swear I can hear the pilots humming a tune over comms.<\/p>\n Pilot you\u2019re a punk We will we will Rorqual Pilot you\u2019re a carebear We will we will Rorqual Pilot you\u2019re an rich man We will we will Rorqual (With apologies to Freddy Mercury… and everyone else.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s less than 24 hours since I first heard murmurs about getting a Rorqual for the system, with a number<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,4],"tags":[83],"class_list":["post-2803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-actual-play","category-mmos","tag-eve"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2803"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2803\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3161,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2803\/revisions\/3161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
