I, too seem to have the longest ones left til last:

Skill plan for kittychan

5. Minmatar Battleship V (28 days, 14 hours, 16 minutes, 53 seconds)
6. Advanced Weapon Upgrades V (33 days, 6 hours, 15 minutes, 59 seconds)

4 days till energy grid upgrades 5*, then I can look at spending that billion isk I've got spare on one of the first vargurs

*random luck, I was skilling for RCU IIs

well, as hehulk predicted in chat, while the client says I can use the shiney graphics with my 6200, the reality is somewhat sub-optimal. I'll take the extra 20fps offered by keeping it switched off, ta. /edit trouble is, now I've *seen* the shiney new gfx, I *need* to have them. damn me.

I'm about 15 days from Gallente BSV then I could train marauders directly, I think. Not that I have a billion for the ship, frankly I don;t have the isk for a HAC and mining is a pain when you're alone in 0.0 and have no tanking skills

how are people making isk these days? solo, preferably....

I will be out mining in NR and hoping that I don't die If our playtimes coincide you are more than welcome to join me. Otherwise I whore R&D agents

you mining solo in a hulk? if so, how have you fit it?

Billy can't fly anything like a BS which could mine and tank at the same time but she can flya hulk and has most of the shield tanking skills trained, I'm just not at all sure how to fit it, what spawns it could take etc etc.

Im not sure how it's fitted yet, I got it from Fear but I haven't had a chance to take ownership of it yet. Could do this evening but if not it will be next week sometime

ah, then I believe it is uber faction pimped

/me cannot afford

You can come and mine with me though can't you?

Fear, you mentioned it had some rigs on it, which ones are they?

Do what I do. Stay alligned to the POS and when rats come run, grab a shooty ship, pop the rats and mine again.

It has two CCC rigs. (The cap recharge ones)

I think it has a Dark Blood Cap Recharger, 2x faction shield hardeners (the exact type I can't remember), 3x Strip Miner IIs (and a couple of T2 crystals in hold), 1x T2 Small Shield Booster*, 1x Mining Upgrade I, 1x Mining Upgrade II.

It is cap stable as long as you stagger the lasers.

*You will need to replace this with something Gisti or Pithii to perma-solo tank, but the rest is suitable.

Dolly's has a Type-A Gisti I think, the main thing with the rats are the one's that NOS, and it always seems those are the ones that pop when I'm mining. Also even with Dolly's faction tank and very decent shield skills I've come close once to losing it, so I just run, clean up the belt and I'm good for another 30-40 minutes.

yeah ... well, while Billy could technically nudge a shooty ship about with her pod, she can't actually get in anything, she's pretty specifically trained and that does not really include guns or the like

Yak, when are good mining times for you?

I sadly don't have anything in the way of concrete times of day for playing, but late evening will be when im found if im there (and should be mining)

If I can get my HAC (which won't be tricky, just a damn long way to get to the jump point) up there i'll take care of the shooty shooty too. What kind of rats do they have up there?

erm, can't remember. big ones

Blood Raiders

Cool, so EM tankity tank and bangity bag then?

Yeah, they are bloods, Akiki couldn't use shooty ships there either, but she had drone skills for mining drones, and training for a bc takes but a few days. She still has no guns, but since she has drones and shield skills for Hulk flying a Myrm was a no brainer. Plus there have been times where I was the only one within 3 systems of the POS, might not be a bad idea to at least look into a BC.... I think fear still has a myrm out there.

EM and Therm tank, EM damage I think.
