Flying Solo In EVE: Blitzing Advice And AI

 I'm trying to get back on my blogging schedule so I am posting two of these EVE posts in a row.

I wasn't the only one out of sorts last week. Something happened on Eve-Offline and a day or so of stats disappeared. Still, the average concurrent users from the week of March 9-15 was 24,000 +/- 500 accounts.

On the global PLEX market the average price of PLEX rose by 1.8% up to 4,306,000 ISK. I took advantage of the price rise and took the 10 PLEX I'd received so far from doing the AIR Daily Goals on two characters. Last week was the 4th week in a row in which the amount of PLEX traded declined. From February 9-15 to March 9-15 the amount of ISK spent on PLEX fell by 40.8% down to 26.5 trillion ISK last week. The volume of PLEX purchased declined by 40.2% down to 12,319 months (1,026 years) of game time.

Just a quick update about taking advice about blitzing missions, or at least the level 4 Sisters of EVE missions in the Ani constellation, from Copilot. Don't. I managed to get the correct advice in one of four missions. Running the missions in an Ishtar sounded doable but I learned I don't have the ability to use sentry drones well. Of course, since I was also depending on Copilot to give tactical advice and the AI didn't know the victory conditions for each mission, the lack of skill wasn't as important as Copilot's inability to tell me the correct steps to blitz the missions.

My industrial/market pilot can't fly battleships but has Mastery V on all Command Ship related skills. I have to say flying a brick-tanked Damnation is pretty relaxing. Slow but relaxing. But the important item is that last week I reached the 250,000 SoE loyalty points needed to buy an Odysseus blueprint. I'm going to sell a few more items on the market before making the BPC purchase. After all, an Odysseus blueprint also requires 250,000,000 ISK to acquire and I want to maintain a certain level of liquidity.
