Lucky # 13

We've made it to blog 13, not bad considering I'm no Poetic Stanziel with a post every day.  I honestly don't know how the guy does it.  I mean, sure, some of his posts aren't worth reading, but most are, and that's where I'm impressed.

I haven't written in a while and part of that is because I haven't been playing much eve lately (read: DUST 514 addiction), and when I have been playing, I've picked up a new playstyle.  That's right, I've gone into super-carebear mode.

I now currently have 4 poses running, doing whatever poses do to make ISK (1 research pos, 1 moon mining pos, 2 reactor poses). I've also gotten into playing the markets.  I sell my wares in non-hub systems.

Also, after reading blogs such as older Greedy Goblin Posts (he now just ganks high-sec miners, but his old posts are good for the industrialist), and Merchant Monarchy I've gotten a decent understanding of how station trading should work.  I've tried it in the past with mediocre success, but after more understanding perhaps this time it will be a viable play style for me.

And finally, as always, I've speculated on the most recent patch (Retribution 1.1).  I figured battlecruisers would have increased build costs such as frigates and cruisers before them.  Honestly, I was too lazy to actually check sisi to confirm this (I know, I know, really bad), so I could have lost ISK, but such is the risk you run for being lazy.  Long story short, battlecruiser material requirements did go up, and with it, came profits.  I also assumed medium armor rep rigs would go up as well as demand rises due to new "paste eating" armor reppers.  I was able to sell most of my stash at higher amounts, and once again, I'm a happy carebear.
