The Cranky Sysadmin

I stumbled across this virtual hosting site a few weeks ago. It’s an interesting business model which wouldn’t work without EVE’s fairly liberal virtual money policy. I wonder how or if they ever convert to cash. I also wonder what other dubious but interesting business opportunities are out there in this line.

I’m looking for new things to do in EVE Online and one of the newer features that I have mostly ignored is w-space. W-space is that area beyond wormholes which is full of sleepers, t3 related loot, and great mining areas. One of the problems with w-space is the logistics. Our corp has setup a POS in w-space in the past and will probably do that again. I think the Orca is a good solution for those of us with a more solo attitude.
Orca for w-space? Sure!

I took my new Ishtar out for a spin in EVE and did the Recon (1 of 3) mission. It was slow going as I haven’t done a mission in a while and I was in a new ship with different handling then my Dominix.

Today, I finally finished out the skills needed to fly the Ishtar. I am working on Recons next, but that’s a whole other story. I am curious how well the Ishtar does in level 4 missions.
