The sharks will smell blood
Got my training up for the medium-sized strip miner. It can hold TWO stip-mining modules, so it should double my mining rate.
The only problem is, that I had to buy it in Jita (about 7 jumps from my main hang-out, BWF). And the (star)gate to BWF was being camped by about 5 hostiles, so I was afraid to bring it home. It's so slow, they might be able to kill it b4 I could warp away. It goes like 100mps vs. a shuttle at 600mps or my tackler at 1200mps.
So, it's just sitting in the hanger, waiting for the bad guys to leave.
It's a little odd that with about 130 members of our alliance logged in this weekend, and with only about 10 hostiles in local (in the local system), we seemed to have our hands tied, and couldn't do anything. It's somewhat embarassing, really. I'm afraid that the sharks will smell blood if we can't show that we can defend "our" system.
Been listening to some EVE podcasts. There's a new one at www.deadspaceradio.com.
