Lol…well I was actually mining in that area for 3 hours earlier. Sure, I parked in Vitt and logged off. And sure, I’m inside the station a lot, as that is where I am setting up my Catalyst, Corax, Vexor, and other ships. Got the Cat to 400 DPS…not bad for a noob. But I have the dilemma of whether to go for the neutron guns and have the Cat cost 6m more…or the much cheaper guns that deliver about 50 DPS less.

As for the weekend…I was at my ‘other home’ on the other side of the New Eden in Caldari space. Aren’t jump clones wonderful.

Anyway…thanks for giving me advance notice that I need a jump clone at Vittenyn too 🙂

Gix…I don’t care what you think, as you’ve repeatedly made it obvious you don’t.

I multibox. I have a few miners in 0 space and as far as i can remember they have never been attacked in the past 15 years. If you only play to mine, yes, it can be boring. But if you MB it is pretty cool. 1-3 billion a day cool.
