Old Times, Learning Curves

I should keep closer to the University for sure. Yeah, I'm still officially doing some scientific work and stuff but I keep disconnecting. Some pals who were attending the same courses as me, whom I met just about .. couple months ago? are now full-fledged teachers. I was surprised to know that the division I'm filed under has changed its name! And I was told it was nearly a year ago!

Capital Ships and 90/10 Principle

Several months ago we started a project to build a Moros for one of our corpmates. He provided around 70% of the needed materials (cost-wise, we had to buy some high-end ones). We acquired all the needed blueprints, we built all the components and then .. Yeah, that's the problem: You can't assemble a dreadnought in a high-security Empire space. Some shitty government laws.

We knew about that and we had the following plan: Build components, load them into freighter and then move them to a low-sec system and assemble there. We even decided to assemble the stuff in .. was it Artoun? Something like that. Oh, and we were so happy about our Capital Ship Manufacturing we even decided to build a Revelation.

Our first mistake: Components take a lot more space then minerals. It takes me 3 runs to bring all the components and there are still few parts left. Our second mistake: No one wants to be a scout or even to convoy a freighter.

And then WWES started to fade and those capital parts and blueprints and minerals were forgotten. If not me, no one will do it. So I spent some time hauling it all to another spot where, I thought, it would be easier to reach somewhat safe low-sec. I even made one trip into low-sec. And in several days another one. Then some troubles began – evil pirates appeared in that semi-safe low-sec. It took a couple more months till the situation became better and few days ago I made two more trips. I carried the last set of Moros parts and all the minerals for Revelation we collected so far (yeah, we do need more).

Yesterday I finished another round of T2 armor hardeners and contacted Impro engineers in Teshkat. Moros construction has began!

Too bad Spublofe wasn't online for more then a month. If he doesn't want that Moros anymore, I'll sell it. Same about Revelation.
