Low Sec Report

Nov. 19, 2010, Lyphar

This is why my Iteron is fit with shield extenders and at LEAST 1 warp stab. Was headed out of low sec., got hit on gate by Kakakarr. Turned to warp, got locked 1 shot took out my shields from his abbadon, and I made it safely away even though he was warp scramming me.
Everyone is to be careful in low sec., not everyone follows NRDS. Kakakarr's corp is no longer marked red (mutual +10 standings).

Planetary Interaction Tutorial

Oct. 24, 2010, Lyphar

Planetary Interaction or Planetary Colonies can be extremely profitable or extremely helpful if setup properly. Planetary Interaction (PI) builds components needed as fuel for POSs and for various T1/T2 BPOs. Keep in mind what POS use the most of and what is the most complex item to make with PI colonies. List of Fuel requirements for a Large Amarr Tower (of PI components) per hour are as follows:

* 4x Enriched Uranium
* 25x Oxygen
* 5x Mechanical Parts
* 8x Coolant
* 1x Robotics

Now, Robotics are made from Mechanical Parts and Consumer Electronics, so Mechanical Parts as well as Robotics tend to make the most and are always in shortest supply. Second would be coolant.
Only planet that can make Enriched Uranium, Robotics, and Mechanical Parts on the same planet are Plasma Planets. Storm and Gas Planets can be setup for Coolant and Oxygen production. A WH with a Plasma planet and a storm or gas planet can support the WH POS indefinately except for the ice based fuels with enough colonies.
After you have found a planet that does what you need it to, you need to scan the planet for the most desireable location to setup. If there is already a colony in the location that you'd prefer, I'd recommend another location on the planet since 2x colonies extracting the same materials will negatively affect one another. General colony setups go as such: [extractors -> storage -> Basic Industry Facility (refinery)]x2 -> storage -> Advanced Industry Facility (manufacture) -> Launch Pad (temp. storage)
Two sets of extractors sub-process in order to get the materials for items that require two mats. I shall be using my mechanical parts / robotics colony on a barren planet as an example. Mechanical parts require base metals / reactive metals and noble metals / precious metals (raw form / refined form).

When you are in planetary mode, you will hit the scan button and select the mineral or material you wish to scan for. If the material is pretty sparce you won't be able to easily see where the materials are. On the set of colored bars there are triangles on either end. Drag the right one till you can see the materials easier.

Now look for the second material you will need in production. In this case it is nobel metals.

Place your Colony Command center somewhere towards the center of the two selected mining points and submit changes. After the command center is down, you can build the entire colony WITHOUT hitting the submit button. This allows you to setup and play with the layout before submiting the changes. Remember each change costs isk.
You want to daisy chain your extractors out in lines so as to waste less power grid and CPU on the colony. Place your storage at the center of the extractors so as nothing extracted is wasted if your refinery becomes overloaded. place your refinery near the storage and then link everything up. Select the schematic you want to use at the refinery.

Then survey at each of your extractors. You will have the option of running the extractors for 30min, 5hrs, 23hrs, or 96hrs. The shorter period of time will extract a larger amount of mineral per time, but you have to keep up with the colony and resurvey and set extraction after each of those periods of time. I recommend the 6hr period if you actively play during the day and 1-3 day extraction if you are off and on or busy during the day.

You must then route the extracted material to your storage.

Then route the incoming material from storage into the refinery.

The finished metal is then routed into the storage at the center of the colony.

This is where the incoming finished metal from the other side of the colony is dropped.

The two metals are then routed into the advanced industry facility to be manufactured into mechanical parts. The mechanical parts are then dropped into storage before routed into a second advanced facility where the mechanical parts and the consumer electronics (imported from a lava colony of mine) are then processed into robotics.

The robotics are then placed in the launch pad for storage.

After a colony is placed, the command center is unrecoverable. Also it is not necessary to run any links through the command center. I realize the importing the consumer electronics from another colony is inefficient but there are no plasma planets close to Ziona. Keep in mind which of the minerals will extract faster than the others and plan accordingly (less extractors on faster extracted mats). Also I applogize for there being no thumbnails atm.

WH POS Glitch

May 23, 2010, Lyphar

This is the shit that I have had to deal with for the last week. So While taking down our WH POSs, one of the turrets glitched as you see above. While there is a crystal in the turret, the turret couldn't be unanchored. While the turret is still anchored, the Main WH POS tower can't be unanchored. Sent in a petition to the GMs (WHICH STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPLYED TO) and don't recieve an answer for 48hrs. Now the tower is offline by this point because of being out of fuel, and defenceless in a 0.0 sys (WH space is 0.0). I'm getting nervous with the 500mil corp invested tower sitting out in the middle of nowhere. So I take it into my hands to destroy the Small Laser Beam Battery so as to be able to unanchor the POS Tower and get it out. It took 7+h and 10,000 torpedoes, 14,000 various heavy missiles (14mil worth of missiles, 4 mil worth small laser battery vs 500mil worth tower). Look at the screenshot, thats a group of 7x Torp launchers hitting the fuckers haul at -500% dmg (50+dmg vs normal 6000dmg strike). The POS tower is now safely in High Sec, and one good thing came from this experience. I now know what kind of a beating the POS modules can take.

Backgrounds

Feb. 6, 2010, Lyphar

As per request I am posting my multi-screen backgrounds. I used to run 2x 20" monitors with 1680x1050 resolution and recently added a 23" monitor to the center with 2048x1152 resolution. The triple screen backgrounds are aligned assuming that the top of the monitors are at the same height. I hate using other people's backgrounds and thats why I create my own using screenshots from EVE. I use a program called Display Fusion to setup a multi-screen background. Feel free to use any of the images.

Dual Screen Backgrounds:

This is one of my favorite dual backgrounds. Was taken while in a WH with 3x drakes, Myself (Lyphar), Telfar, and another corp member.

One of the most difficult shots I've taken. Had to get it just right so that the planet passed through both screens.

My fist dual screen backround with an old cormorant.

Large fleet during a corp war in high sec.

Large fleet during a corp war in high sec. We had 5 drakes in my squad.

Salvaging a large mission with 3x salvage cormorants.

Triple Creen Backgrounds:

Was the first triple screen background I shot.

My best background set yet and my current background. was taken with a Caldari Navy Hookbill just after Dominion was released. Enjoy!

Corp Update

Feb. 6, 2010, Lyphar

Public Corp Lab:
Per request and by permission of Savannah Cat, the corp's 3rd lab will be open for general corp use. I have installed a 100,000isk base charge and 100isk per hr charge. This is because most of our miners don't do much to keep the POS afloat. The other two labs are dedicated to researching the corps BPO library at Ziona VII M3 (Manufacture Tab of Corp Hanger). If anyone needs a copy of the corp BPOs let me know. POS is located at Ziona VIII M4. Warp to the moon, bookmark the station tower and then warp to the tower. In order to maintain security, everyone over the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (PVE Side) and Petty Officer 2nd Class (Indust Side) has access to Factory Manager and the manufacture tab of the corp wallet. Drop the isk for the research job into that end of the wallet.

Corp Shares:
Corp now has a total of 10,000 shares. 3000 stay with me (Lyphar), 3000 with Telfar (my ExO), 2000 with Savannah Cat (MCPO), leaving 2000 up for grabs. Maximum of 500 shares per person. Shares allow you to call votes and have a stake in the corp. Cost per share is 1mil. When buying shares, open your corp wallet, give money, enter the amount and under the reason put the amount of shares being purchased. Then send me (Lyphar) a message or mail. 30+ shares will get you Lieutenant Colonel or Petty Officer 2nd Class.

Corp Events

Nov. 4, 2009, Lyphar

NO corp events are manditory. Here are the two that we have atm:

Corp Mining Op:
Corp gets 10% from mining op. Rest of the minerals are split amoungst the miners as follows:

Orca - 5

Hulk - 4

Mackinaw - 3

Skiff - 2

Covetor - 3

Retriever - 2

Procurer - 1

Haulers - 2

Escort - 1/2

Your points of ships / Total of points of ships out for op. - 10% corp = your share
Point values can be changed later. Escort values vary based off what we are fighting for pirates.

Frigate Fight Night:
Everyone participating gets a Frigate. Only T1 frigs and modules (no faction or T2 (this includes ammo)) and fights to the death (ship, no poding). People will be matched into categories based on the age of their char.

Elite group - 1 year or older
Standard group - 6 months to year
Novice group - 0 - 6 months

This event has always been a lot of fun, gets people PvP experience, and some shiny kill mails for the victors.

The New Dawn Cont.

Nov. 2, 2009, Lyphar

Friends and Allies! I am proud to anounce the forming of Oblivion Chaos fleet.
OCF is setup as a Casual PvP, PvE, and Industrial corp. What this means is that I wish to impose as little rules upon our members as I can. I am putting up this site with general information about the corp. as well as tutorials for our members. Forum is to follow.
We will be establishing a POS within Amarr space soon, setting up an ammo resupply program for our PvP / PvE players, as well as other corp operations. I am happy to report that our mining op. this past Saturday was a success with mining about 8.5 mil of tritanium as well as piles of other minerals. I am working on expanding the corp's selection of BPOs, esp those for ammo and ships. Anyone with a rank over crewman and ensign should be able to view the corp hanger "Manufacturing" tab where the BPOs are stored. Only high ranking officers can access the tab, but everyone can take a look and see what they want made up.
