The Darkblade Crime Family

I talk about my alts pretty frequently. Though I'm not sure that I've ever said what each of them does despite being asked on occasion. Time to put pen to paper.

I use a total of five alts across two accounts:
 
  1. On the same account as Kirith. Back when Kirith went outlaw, which lets face it didn't take long! I needed someone to haul ships and supplies to low-sec. This alt was made to do just that with a Hoarder. Since being in The Tuskers & since flying larger hulls I haven't needed or been able to use the Hoarder, tending instead to use corpmates logistics or my own Freighter which another alt flies. She now mostly sits in a station doing station trading with very few market orders.
  2. Also on the same account as Kirith. This one sits in Jita 4-4 and very rarely undocks. This character can only fly basic frigates. Used predominantly to buy and sell for Kirith. When loots get shipped to Jita she receives and sells them and conversely she buys the ships and supplies for Kirith being sending them to him. In her spare time she station trades with the basic number of market orders.
  3. On my second account and originally intended to be of all things a mining alt! It's even trained too fly a Hulk and has one too, the theory was to mine whilst afk. Even afk I found this pretty tedious especially when I had to frequently log out to my prober. Plumping for a far more passive source of income I retrained him as a station trader operating out of Rens. He's been docked there ever since. His trade skills are one level from maxed on a single skill though I only use around 70 orders daily. All he does nowadays is station trade and the odd contract trade.
  4. On the second account and operates as my prober. Contrary to popular belief does not fly a boosting ship! All I do is probe with it, though I really would benefit from maxing out his probing ability one day.
  5. Last one on the second account. She flies my Freighter when needed which is occasionally at best. Otherwise she runs Caldari Navy level 4 missions in a Drake when I'm unable to pirate due to real life circumstances. She's pulling together the isk for the Thanatos she's training for.
Hope that clears things up

The Adventures of Dangermouse


Ok, so random post title but there is a reason I assure you!

Some little time ago I mentioned about creating my necesary hauler alt. Well I have now achieved that objective over the bank holiday weekend just gone and Morathi Darkblade now is the driver of a Hoarder complete with cargo expanders, she is also the CEO of my Corp "The Adventures of Dangermouse" who Kirith is now also a member of. The Corp HQ is located in Aralgrund in Heimatar, a low-sec system on the border with high-sec.

I have been spending more time in that area with Kirith recently to aclimatise myself with low-sec as I have a large sense of everyone-is-out-to-get-me syndrome. Which is probably justified & sensible. But I feel so is getting to know the locals and working out who flys what and who to keep clear of. Still working on my learning skills though it is always so tempting just to slip in a combat skill but so far my willpower has held.

More soon
