To date my most useless project is to fly a Monitor
I just started building one. Months ago I got a BPC for a low price (10Mill) and from time to time I would acquire the materials for it, and the required skills to build it starting with Industry V.
So why is this a pretty useless thing to do?
First
After manufacturing it. I will not be able to assemble it.
Second
I need 52 days of training to assemble it.
Third
The thought that I am in any way qualified to use it for its intended purpose is ludicrous in the extreme.
My Monitor is destined to join my collection of Hanger Queens, where it will take pride of place knocking my Echelon and Zephyr from their current top spots.
Buying zydrine and nocxium when if was looking as good investment. Invested 10 billion ISK (huge amount for me at that time) to have about 5-6 billion in product since then.
Interacting with other players. Breaks the wall of being in an alternate universe, then crashing to ground with the pettiness and mundane. Thanks, but no thanks…
I fought the lost batle to save WiS and the future of EVE Online after Incarna in 2011.
I fought the lost battle to save highsec PvE and EVE Online after Rubicon in 2013.
I won EVE Online and stopped playing it for good in 2016.
Now I am foreseeing the date of the death of EVE Online and things are looking good.
Started ongoing project “Time To Do Some Pvp And Get A Kill”. So far, for this purpose, I bought two high sp characters, trained them even more. Then made three Alpha accounts. Then I manufactured and fitted Tristans so I can blow them up. Didn’t get there yet.
Trained for and bought a Panther. Just for the looks cause it’s useless in HS.
my semi-RP corp. not like im currently focusing too much on the game atm due to RL stuff but i even put an Ad in the game, in the forums and Reddit hoping to get some fresh blood into the corp but nothing so far. heck i even lowered the tax to a very low margin to see what happened but nope, i guess there’s just no interest on joining a group like that, less so when its very specific lorewise.
I wouldnt say orca is useless, I use it for variety of purposes. Hauling, mining, transporting ships. I even treated it as a mobile home of sorts, moving with stuff from system to system. Lot of stuff can be made with it. For a multitude of reasons I keep it around, doesnt matter what career I pursue, its usefull to me.
I have no doubt that it’s useful. But I’m doubtful that I can stick with the training. The skills for it are in my queue, but I tend to swap what I’m training for every few days.
