Third Static Wormhole?

In our new C2, we have always had a third wormhole, and now that we're a bit more active in it, we've discovered that we've had three the whole time. I've never heard of a third static, but this appears to be the case. We haven't confirmed what it is yet, leaving it closed hoping we were going to get some sites, but not much has spawned so we're going to open it pretty soon.

Anyone else had a third static wormhole?

New Class 2

Well, we went and bought a new wormhole the other day. A Class 2 wormhole with static high sec and static class 3 connection. Also included are a Chimera carrier, a Thanatos carrier, and a Rorqual industrial command ship. The price for all this awesomeness? 1.8 billion isk. Only 300 mil more than what we paid for this wormhole. Oh well. /sigh

The transaction went very smoothly, but then we discovered that the wormhole is very active. VERY active. We had two incoming K162s, and one of them poured out a string of what most likely were a corp making a run to high sec. Unfortunately, Nick got in their way and got ambushed by numerous of their members. We lost a Purifier and an Arazu, but no pods, thankfully.

Our Rorqual in our main C2 is finally finished, and we're waiting on the ability to run the Industrial Core. We also needed to acquire fighter sets for both carriers, and after looking at prices, I decided to purchase the means to build whatever we wanted. This included a Small Ship Assembly Array, BPCs, and minerals. All the fighters will be ready in fur more hours.

So, we've been spending our time emptying the remaining grav sites and storing it all in our two ship assembly arrays. We've got 8 mil m3 so far, one more grav site to go.

Attention on deck! Hulk Fleet Commandant arriving!

We organized a corp mining op yesterday. I love a well executed mining op. And then we went to the field. It's an Average Frontier Deposit. The worst of the worst. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be able to mine something....but. The site is about 300km long, and it's possible to warp between some of the roids. The roids are also very very small. The arkonor roids are 5k, there are three of them. But there are like 20 crokite roids, each only 2k. And we can't put the whole fleet on one roid, it disintegrates it in one cycle. So we have to split up based on who is controlling who. So Nick ran shotgun and hauling duties, Thomas ran his two hulks, and I ran the rest.

At first, it ran very clumsy. There ended up being a string of crokites across the whole field, the next always 30k away, so we'd slowboat it over just to get into 23km range and watch our poor drones trudge all the way there and back. Until we had an idea. At one of the ends of the field, we bookmarked a spot that let us warp to almost every roid on the grid from the spot. So we'd warp to a roid, mine it and everything within 23km around it, warp back to the spot, then pick another ABC roid and go down the list.

It also helped me a ton by assigning a hotkey to Drones:Return to Drone Bay. I've known it was possible all these years, but just never got around to assigning it. OMG! So much easier to control my fleet now.

We killed all the ABCs and started working on the next best ores, we've filled 2 mil worth of our new X-Large Ship Assembly Array. If you get a chance to use one of these just for storage, I highly reccomend it. 18 mil storage for the CPU and Powergrid it takes are a good deal. I can take down all these corp arrays now!

The Rorqual is ticking down, 6 days til it's done!

We had a grav site despawn this morning, not sure why. It's one of those wormhole "you'll never know why" things that adds mystery to the whole thing. Which of course makes me want to open all the grav sites and do the ABCs right now before something like this happens again. I don't get it, people say grav sites spawn "the most", but I've seen very little evidence of that. It's the ladars that "spawn like bunnies".

Oh well.

Very excited about the Rorqual. Can't wait to see what our actual mineral take is going to be like without having to lose anything to refining!!!

Forgotten Heathen out.

Hmmmm.

So we appear to have gotten rid of our unwelcome visitor, as no more of our statics have been opening by themselves. We had a guy is a shuttle come in to look around when we had the high sec open for a Jita run, and he forgot to bookmark the exit, so I spoke with him for awhile, and then he ran into our POS, which promptly vaporized his ship. He then asked us to finish him off, so I said yeah, I'll be right there. His reply was "Oh, someone else is here....ZZZZT!" Nick had logged on and fried his pod with the POS guns. Ouch.

We are now up to four grav sites, and I'll a little bewildered. If I'm not mistaken, some of our spawns have occured while the statics were open. So my theory may indeed not be valid. Or it might be valid to a certain percentage chance or something like that.

Huge news, we have the Rorqual in production! Nine days left! We also bought a Legion to play around with, and I've finally trained Med Pulse Spec, and how retarded is that damage difference from beams?

We're not doing too bad for a corp of four total players, two of which are really active. Someone who came calling in the wormhole awhile back paid us a compliment after seeing all our ships on his directional.

"Whoa! Too many ships. Where there's an Orca and that many ships, there's an organized corp who has their shit together. I'm leaving!"
