Wormhole Space

Well, gaming has slowed down since the little bundle of joy entered out life. Baby Alannah is 7 weeks old last Tuesday and has learnt to smile at people. Generally not at the 2 milk providing pillows that she will come to know as her parents but at new faces that come to visit.

On the work front I am back where I was before Christmas working away in RKD Cork on contract basis. Once you get used ot the idea of not having secure employment it is quite liberating. Getting good experience on hospital design which is good for the CV.

In the meantime gaming has reverted to Eve. I simply got bored with WOW again. I drop in to say hi to Dougal and the rest of the gang from time to time but most of the little gaming time I spend is trying to avoid getting blown up in Eve.

I had kept the two accounts going through out the WOTLK expansion working my way though core skills on both accounts. This has given both characters a nice base from which to specialise. Slaybull is a combat pilot and Carraig naTaribhe is a science character turned miner. After a few weeks of having my cans flipped in Empire space I moved both characters to join Monomorium at his POS in Wormhole space.

First things first. I flew my lovely Dominix full to the brim with drones and other tech II goodies though low-sec space and got jumped by a gang that blew me to bits (capsule managed to escape, so I haven't been podded yet).

So I arrived at the Monomorium's pos in a capsule with nothing to my name. The POS is in a L4 wormhole system that has been cleaned out so all action generally happens in adjoining systems through whatever WHs have opened that day. The combat missions have been done using a fleet of Dominix BSs fitted to spider tank. Very first mission I got mine blown up by forgetting to turn on the damage control module.

So far I have enjoyed the experience. Mono has been very generous and easy about mistakes made to far. I help out where I can and have yet to get bored. Because of the whole need to probe for asteroid belts things can be a bit slow, there is no such thing as going out to shoot at rocks for 20 mins. In the next blog entry I'll figure out some goals.
