Eve Online - Life Of A Miner

Dusting off your mining lasers and polishing your Hulk you sigh and think of the riches to be found out in the rim. Why even own a state of the art mining ship when you're only mining that stinky Omber anyway? Isogen might be nice and shiny to look at but it's not putting anything more than food on the table.

Investing in the Hulk has set you back to the stone age money wise. And at this rate you will probably see a return of investment in, oh say, 10 years? 10 years of mining Omber...To be honest, you would rather strap yourself on to a Citadel torpedo.


On the other hand, diving deep into the outer reaches of space is very risky and one faces the constant threat of death each and every second. Still, flying into the oblivion riding a Citadel torpedo would also pretty much cease you existence, so what do you have to loose?

It's time to live God dammit! No more Mr.Nice Guy, wasting your life in Empire controlled space. The sky is the limit, nothing can stop you from reaching that precious, highly sought after Arkonor. Mmm... just thinking about Arkonor makes you all tingly inside. A nugget of Arkonor would bring in more ISK than a year of hard work out in the Omber fields.

Deciding on a good region to target should be harder than this you think. But considering that all 0.0 space is as dangerous as flying your ship too close to the sun, you can really pick whatever region you fancy. Well, maybe not Fountain or Venal, those places are serious hot spots these day s. You decide on targeting Outer Ring as it's, at the moment, not controlled by any alliance which makes it a suitable region to visit first.

Careful planning and a suitable fitting is vital to your success, blockade running is pretty much out of the question. You figure that is probably better to try and fly at a time when everyone is sleeping. Keep a low profile, slipping under the radar so to say.
