1 Man Against 50

So the war with the larger of the two corporations has ended. Seems they didn't want to pay the bill any longer to keep it going. Now that just leaves one corporation remaining. The solo man and his lonely corp. If it wasn't for the fact that it'd probably be a complete waste of time, I'd try and hunt this man to the very end! But as I said, it'd likely be nothing more than wasted time as he'd probably hide in a station somewhere.

Otherwise nothing too much of interest to report. Spent my time yesterday running to the outskirts of empire to pick up some mining crystals. Silly me forgot to grab a bunch of em before having my gear shipped out to our main base of operations. I really want to get the skills trained up for flying a covert ops frigate as well as better probing skills but after that, I definitely need to look towards getting myself in that blockade runner, the Prowler, and eventually a jump freighter. The area where I reside is seriously delinquent in market goods and what is available is way over priced compared to what you'd find in Jita. Fortunately, the corp is already mulling that aspect over and had some pretty interesting ideas on how to deal with that.

Otherwise tonight I will finally be able to pilot a Hulk! I'm really happy about that prospect and the thought of how much more isk I can make. Just need to get my protege up to a level of being able to pilot a decent sized hauler and I could then be pulling in some serious dough.

On that note, I've been watching the news reels on the great upset in the south. Seems the largest and perhaps most powerful alliance in all of Eve known as BoB, short for Band of Brothers, has crumbled literally over night. This of course has basically created a sort of gold rush as every smaller corporation and alliance sweeps in like vultures, pilfering and killing in an attempt to claim a piece of what remains of their grand, so-called, nullsec empire. I won't deny my base of operations isn't too far from there but without question, I have absolutely no desire to even go near that area for the time being. I imagine it's nothing more than death and destruction really. Would be awesome though if your gutsy enough as a ninja salvager. Hmm.....

Only aspect about all this is my concern over the market prices. As much as people disliked BoB and is glad to see them gone (even if temporarily) one can't deny they had a huge impact on the market and their demise could mean utter market chaos for all those in Empire as well. That remains to be seen of course but I wouldn't be too surprised. I mean, the discovery of some silos only a short time back that were mysteriously producing moon materials was considered to be a huge affair. Now, it's all but forgotten in the shadow of this newer event. But as with most other things in life...only time will tell...

Oh that would be a place for tons of salvage right now. Oh and you would need to be nothing else but the best of ninjas to make it in and out of delve right now.
