Nick pointed out our corp asset page the other day, and it made me cringe. We have stuff spread out throughout the galaxy. Today is as good a day as any to go pick it up.
So I'm spending my day transporting things either to our wormhole or to Jita for sale. You really do accumulate stuff after living in Eve.\
Got another old corp member back in the wormhole yesterday. Will have to get him up to speed or he'll be getting acquainted to where his last clone is at.
Lost my Devoter to a radar site, too. Nick killed alot of combat sites, and I helped him with the last ones, then we went to radars. Three or four of them went fine, but something happened on the last one. Nyslia took alot of fire, and maybe we hit a trigger and there was just too much on her. I tried to warp, but no dice. She was also in the middle of a turn. She went poof and they started and almost got my Zealot, too.
Everytime I lose a ship I swear I'm going to mount Damage Control IIs instead of an extra Heat Sink.....so now I'm really doing it.
On the bright side, I'm picking up tons of PI material I left as our wormholes moved about!

Saying Goodbye to Class 1s.
Yesterday, we finally said goodbye to our low sec static Class 1. We had it listed with Raid'En, our trusted wormhole broker, for over a week, and no bites, so we decided we were done with the fueling runs through low sec.
It was a mostly uneventful op, with a small pirate corp attempting to catch our Impel at the last gate.(single point fit FTL) After screwing around with him and his obvious alts in local, we got on with the job. Using a Prorator, we lifted all our remaining guns and POS modules, then all the fuel and strontium, out into the local high sec area for retrieval later. All the while, the pirate and his alts obviously thought we were leaving through one of the two gates when we headed into the wormhole, since he manned them both instead of ratting like he had been when we arrived. /shrug. I guess it just proves you don't always have to be that intelligent to play EVE.
We self destructed the battleships, Hulks and Covetors, netting around 100 mil in insurance, and flew out all the stripped modules. After unanchoring the POS, we took one last look around. Only a single forgotten Mobile Warp Disruptor was all that proved anyone had ever lived here.
This hole was a fast site spawner, but it also proved to be a K162 magnet. This hole was responsible for more traffic, and more of our ship losses than I've sustained so far in Eve. I'll never bother living in a low sec static again unless it's purpose was to PvP. I don't care what everyone says, the low sec hole had more traffic than any of the high sec holes we've lived, or currently live in.
Not to mention that those who found our hole and came inside, were proportionally more experienced in PvP, and more bloodthirsty all around. Low sec, to me, means a higher percentage of prepared individuals or corps looking for killboard posts.
But, in the end, we came out WAY ahead in the ISK vs Loss ratio, and we are highly more experienced because of it. It may have cost alot of ships and ISK, but in the end, I'd say it was worth it.
But I'm still never living in a low sec static hole again. :)

Grav Site Spawn Rate?
So I was gone about a week from Eve, only logging in to change training or attempt to help fuel a POS or two. You would think in that time we'd get at least one gravimetric site to spawn.
I logged in and started some heavy mining with 8 accounts, 6 Hulks, 1 Iteron V, and an Orca boosting. Cleaned all the ABCs out of a field and found myself low on time, so I decided to scan out my system and count the remaining sites. My count came out one short. I showed four sites on my list, but only three in system.
So really, there hadn't been a grav site spawn since I pretty much bought the wormhole, over a month ago.
Sure, we haven't attempted to clear the hole out or anything, but I've been knocking a grav site or two off each week we've been living here. We've still got 12 or more ladar sites sitting there. Makes you wonder if there's some sort of site cap for the wormhole constellation you belong to, and if you let a large number of the other sites build up, sites of another kind won't spawn.
It's just a guess, and probably not even close, but no grav sites in over a month seems kind of odd. Guess I'll do some gas harvesting and see what happens there. I do always have a second C2 wormhole to exploit, so it's not a huge problem.
