I need to ditch yesterday's stolen loot. I suppose I could claim it wasn't stolen as such, as it all came from wrecks in our home system, but I don't think the fleet that actually shot the Sleepers, and lost a salvager, would see it that way. I didn't stop ...

All looks clear at home, but only for a minute. I cloak, check my skill queue, and take a second look at my directional scanner to see a Tengu strategic cruiser and Drake battlecruiser are nearby. Tweaking d-scan's settings also finds Sleeper wrecks, showing definite signs that these two ships ...

Ah, back to normal. I hope. I'll need to replace the Legion strategic cruiser I lost, in order to get back to where I was, but with any luck all should be tickety-boo as far as flying in space. And getting a new ship pretty much depends on the kindness ...

It's time to bite the bullet. I'm hitting the reset button on all my settings, come hell or high water. Actually, I'm kind of expecting hell to come, as I am about to commit every element of the interface be back to its horrible default position and size. Thankfully, I ...

'Reset to factory defaults?' I'd rather not, no, but I'd also quite like to fly in space without suffering blackouts either when stalking or actually in combat, thanks. I'm not looking forwards to adjusting every single information panel, communications channel, and other associated windows again, but it looks like it ...

A patch has been released, so I'm applying it to my ships and hoping for the best. I'm not convinced the patch will help, as it is to reduce instability when jumping through stargates, whereas my ship crashes have occurred arbitrarily in space, but I can hope. At least I ...
Posted in Gaming | Comments Off on Ratting is tedious, however efficient
Thursday, March 15th, 2012
I need to update my skill queue, that's the only reason I'm here. But seeing as I am here, it would be churlish not to take a look around w-space. Sure, my ship will probably suffer a systems failure and crash, requiring a reboot that will almost certainly be at ...

I'm a glutton for punishment. Having suffered through repeated but unpredictable ship failures, requiring a systems restart each time, and even though there have been no released patches to correct this, I am still hopeful that I can make it through this evening without problem. I should be fine as ...

I'm back in space and hoping to keep it that way. I'd rather not see any more systems failures in my ships, requiring tedious reboots at unpredictable and arbitrary times that may lose me my third ambush this week. An unresponsive ship is a liability. I can only stalk if ...

My glorious leader is keen today. Fin's not only escaped our home w-space system but w-space entirely, having jumped out of our neighbouring class 3 system through its static connection to null-sec. I think she's kindly looking for more rats for me to pop, so that I can delay my ...
