Right now I’m living in a wormlife freeport where I have PI set up. I have three characters there, two are used for PI and have some basic ship skills (they can mine both ore and gas) but are not used for anything fancy. The 3rd character is my main exploration character, who also lives there for PI but typically lives out of a helios. When I was playing last I had grand ideas of setting up my own structure in a wormhole, but I’m not sure if that’s something I still want to do. It might be time to go backpacking again, and settle myself in my trusty Orca. This is a challenge I had done in the past, and is something I really enjoyed doing.
In the meantime things have gone back to my old routines. I log in, complete my PI chores (once a week I haul everything back to my station and then have my market character pick up the resources to sell) then do my dailies. Sometimes I’ll go exploring, other times I’ll do a little ratting. My market character is also my mission runner, right now she’s doing L3 distribution missions – really nothing fancy at all. It’s pretty close to Jita, so there are always a lot of other players around.
I’ve practiced the MWD+Warp trick again until I felt confident that I could traverse the universe with this method and remain relatively safe. It’s just muscle memory, after all. The biggest issue I’ve had is forgetting to bring things with me that I need, or just figuring out where all of my stuff is and what I was in the middle of doing last time I played.
Industry? I’m hesitant. Do I want to start making consumables again? Maybe I should get into reactions. There are so many options!
Still, it does feel nice to be playing again. I’m sure it won’t take me long to figure out what it is I want to be doing or working towards.
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself. Fly your way! o7
