In the list of things that I expected to do tonight, purchasing (and then moving into) an Astrahus was probably near the bottom of that list, and yet, here we are.
I suppose it’s not a huge surprise, maybe even a natural one in the grand scheme of game play. After all, I’ve done the Orca nomad living thing for a while, why wouldn’t I want to go to the next (obvious) step, and set up a structure.
Of course nothing in EVE is quite that simple. I had to get TO the damn structure, which is of course in a wormhole. To do that, I had to leave the current Wormlife Freeport I’ve been living in, and meander my way through much of the universe, then jump a few times through some other wormholes to finally arrive at my destination.
Rinse. Repeat.
Why? Because of course I need a seed for when I get locked out, (alt on my free account is handling that) and then I also need a few characters to do some of the basic chores like mining, huffing, and clearing some combat sites. I’m also hoping to do some PI there – but I don’t own the POCO, so I need to see if they’re open for public use, and what the taxes are looking like. Then I also need to haul some command centers in. I’m going to wait for a better HS connection to do that one. For now, I’m focusing on just getting everyone into the structure.
But Stargrace, what happens if someone blows it up – which of course, someone will. It is just a matter of ‘when’. I’m hoping to get at least a month or two of use, first. I plan on storing as little as possible in the structure, and leaving everyone logged out in ships. If I lose it tomorrow, so be it, that is the nature of EVE. Maybe I’ll get lucky (hah).
Let’s see where this adventure takes us.
