Last night we were bringing in some supplies, and taking out the loot. Much like cleaning out the trash and stocking the cupboards. While I was sitting in hs on the static, a pilot jumps in behind me!
I dont get the name, but I have the corp "NorCorp" and the alliance tag which proves to be "No Holes Barred". My assistant jumps to the static from the other side while I chase back into our home. I missed the pilot again, and imeddiately sent out a text of an unknown in the hole. Ge and Sa get on, and we find a k162 from dangerous unknown.
Last time we had one of those, we lost two scorpions. And it took me four hours to get around from LS into HS to get to the entrance. Sa logged an alt and sent her into the k162.
This odd c4 had a c2 static, and quick wormhol.es shows two possible entities. Lucky for us, Sa has a maxed out library of book marks from systems he has scanned. PoS identified, scout in place. We roll!
Right after we start, the pilot and a second ship pop up and drop probes in the C4. We keep rolling, and two jumps later we bring in the scout and close off the k162.
Loot goes out, supplies come in and we close our statics. Just in case the pilots transmitted book marks to his mates. Secondary alts watch the hole while we log out, everything stays quiet.

Random Static
Last night was uneventful, we did see our random static. A D382 into a C2 was detected and found lacking. Our normal static O477 led into a vacant C3 with a LS exit. How I miss our old hole with the LS exit, always good for hunting.
Our current hole has a HS exit, which is good for training the new guys. Ac and MV are still training up and havent pulled into the hole. Soon as they are, we can drop two more log-out scouts in the hole and leave them alone.
Ge and Sa are still debating the usefulness of the HS exit, boring!!! I would rather camp a NS hole and live out of a box!

Mystery Blip
Mystery Blip, how I hate you. Another ship kill in the home system, and no KB results. I would love to see who has been hunting in our home.
Reading through http://interstellarprivateer.wordpress.com/ Future Corps seems a great place to learn from. Tiger Ears is also a personal favourite, and the entire reason I left HS behind. I hope I never meet Bob, sounds like a skrry diety.
Training queues are full, and expected completion is 22days. BC V will be ours!!!

Checking in
A very quiet weekend, the hole is barely producing sleepers... pretty sure they are clogged somewhere safe. Ge got his fuel running again, and then switched over the reaction arrays. Sa is happy now that the hardeners are back online.
We cracked the door open twice this weekend, one was an old c3 with a NS exit. Actually, it had an additional k162 fron NS ( and pilots ) and a k162 from deadly unknown space (and had AHARM pilots floating around). We rolled the hole before they got through the chain.
The second hole was littered with 5 active PoS, and pilots. History showed they had recently lost a cane, a manticore and a pod. They refused to be baited, and we rolled before calling it a day.

Mystery Attack?
So, we have two ship kills and two poddings in our home yesterday... so says Dotlan and Staticmapper. They both agree someone died in the hole, but has no idea who it was. Battle Clinic is silent on the issue. wormhol.es doesn't reveal anything new either.
Next point; one POCO is down 30% on shields and 20% down on armor. No history is showing up, no notification, no fleets that we have seen. Total WH weirdness. Sa is not willing to expose us to additional attack, so we won't be repairing for a week or more.
The reactions continue night and day, hopefully we will be making iskies soon. The hole is dry again.

Lock out
Been quiet? No, I've been locked out while I try and get my password reset.
So much has happened over the last week!
Weekend spent raiding C3 WHs, lots of material and salvage recovered from neglected WHs... most with a NS exit. Vrry skry. I managed to get my sec status rising while waiting for the rest of the corp members to log on. Why is NS so empty?
New reaction array arrived making Ge happy. Soon as he set it up, Sa was angry about the loss of hardeners on the POS. Two reaction arrays are more intensive than anyone really considered. Personally, the increased income would be nice... we did spend two days raiding C3s for gas and salvage!
Two scorpions lost to a well timed WH crash, nice work fellas. Replacements were stored in HS, so a quick jaunt brought in two hole-rollers. Updated fits, hopefully someone will stop using ECM burst... right Ge?
Last night brought changes to our vernerable drakes, new fits were considered previously on SiSi. Looks good, works well in the C2. Hopefully they will perform in the raiding of C3s.
I am still seeing a scout loitering in the hole, haven't caught him yet...

Slow Training, Lots of Certs
So, with the changes coming with the summer expansion, comes new Racial Battlecruiser skills. I can truthfully say I do not have the skills for Amarr ships. However, soon I will.
My entire corp is switching plans and moving towards full Racial Frigates IV, Destroyer V, Racial Cruiser III and Battlecruiser V. There is talk about finishing skill plans for Hybrids up to Large V, and specialization. I am sure mt CEO has a plan... which he hasnt shared yet.

Weekend Plans
Bike weekend! More workshops and classes on motorcycles, maintenance and safety. Very little eve time, and I have discovered WoT!!!
We gathered on Sunday, marked the holes and later came back to clear. Two Ladar, three combat, and two gravs, left the gravs alone so we can mine later? With the skill plan changes, everyone is desperately trying to skill up for the summer release.
Spent a little time on SiSi with the 'gift' BC, tried making it a PvP boat. Shield and Armor tanking, Shield won out with the booster fit. Lows show promise of 3 weapon upgrades and a variance of CPU or bonus low slot, fitting is rough on CPU ( just saying ). The highs were tested on Arty ( poor locking range ), AC ( slow speed, or additional fittings ), Rails ( locking range and fitting, cap is a problem), Blasters ( cap is really a problem, forget armor tanking ), HM ( bad locking and the missile nerf, sad panda ), HAM ( a true winner, still needed a little CPU though ). I can't fit lazors, so wonder.
People ( eve arm-chair fitters ) say the new BC is PvE only, I am going to splode one of these. You just wait.

Skill Plan changes.
The upcoming changes to racial BC and Destroyer skills has my undivided attention. I am changing skill plans mid stride to get :all the skills!: Then back to grinding Large Hybrid specializations.
The hole is quiet, to quiet. If we have the time, we will bait the highsec exit and see what comes.

Null Sec Fun!
Last night we found a K162 from Nullsec in our home system. A quick check showed the ns system free of pilots... a plan was hatched and we flew into NCdot space and began eliminating local rats. We followed that with a quick Angel Haven, and salvaged what was left. Only after our trust Noctis returned to our home, the hole was critical.
We missed out on a chance at mining Mercoxit, we did manage to get our poor sec status out with a quick boost. And no one bothered to check the system for two hours... kinda expected ns alliances to be more possessive over thier space.

Cyanide Pirate
So, I have chatted with a really nice guy over at The Cyanide Pirate . Seems he doesn’t get much traffic in his personal channel in-game.
We talked about blogging and background in-game, it was nice to talk to someone outside of my group of friends. He didn’t have much advice on blogging, other than blogging every day to make it habit.
On other fronts, my friends are not ready to live in the WH… still working on PvP skills and T2 fits for BCs. It is rather disheartening to see them struggle so.
Hunting last night went poorly, after the K162 in our home system went crit sooner than expected. Ended up sending half our logged in people through Highsec to another entrance... on the plus side, more fuel!!!

Lack of noise.
Reading through many blogs, I see great ideas, theory craft and wishful thinking on PoS designs. I would like to see a change. Any change will do. KK'thxs.
Current PoS, Hanger and trust issues do not allow good segregation of person and corporate assets. Our current Corp sharing is made up of 4-6 separate Corporations; two being privately owned and operated, two being shared with all toons being directors, and one stealth corporation for neutral haulers? Since I know the other people in RL, it makes sense to allow the free-for-all of our shared corps.
Starting a neutral toon for infiltration has run aground of the 'trust' and 'face-punch-range'. My friends are learning paranoia... which means none of the corps will really grow until we sort out roles. Teaching them my tricks, and giving them the resources to hunt down alts and infiltrators might as well be throwing pearls before swine. They still have not moved into the WH... My husband and I tore down our old PoS and set up a new one for their use... 15 days and counting!
WH scouting tomorrow!!!

New Year, New/Old Friends.
Things are settling down, we have left our tiny c2 with my escape route and returned to highsec. It took me two months of grinding to recover my sec-status. Christmas is over, holidays are gone and a new year begins.
A return of an old friend and his son-in-law has begun a change in corp structure and location. The holidays were bad for losses, we absorbed two guys accounts, and made war on seemingly dead corps.
Our new/old friends have built a reputation as carebears from highsec… coupled with my pirates and accumulated/absorbed accounts, has begun a new chapter in eve. Watching the capitals die in lowsec was _boring_. We did not participate, since I was podded at a lowsec gatecamp.
The latest and greatest is a dual citizen approach, two corps, each with alts and mains sharing resources from the WH and Highsec. Bummer I blew the alt corp out of the water with a failed gank attempt.
I am still waiting ( a month later ) for our new/old friends to join us in the WH…..
