Margarite Liberte's Engineering Career in Eve Online.

Margarite's life these days

Fri, 14 May 2010 06:24:05 +0000

Margarite had a neural remap so she could better learn science. She is not into boosters so this was an alternative and more permanent. She has the ability now to make more stuff and research more stuff. She has started to make tech 2 ammo non stop. She is also researching Gallente ship component blue prints now. Tech II ships though are far from profitable these days. Margarite is not always looking to profit.

The goal a Gallente freighter only building and mining allowed.

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 08:52:43 +0000

Margarite set some limits for her goal to have and fly a freighter. She started with only 1 million ISK. At first she did not mine she only bought minerals made tractor beams and sold them. She started to increase her wealth. She then decided to mine as well. She reached the first goal of buying the skill book for Gallente freighters and trained it to level II. She then just yesterday bought an Obelisk blueprint. An Obelisk is a Gallente freighter. She now will mine and build parts and also buy and sell more tractor beams. These days she lives and does her work in a factory near Jita the central trade system.

Margarite sold the Orca she built.

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 08:08:54 +0000

Margarite sold the Orca she built and bought a friend a Pilot's License Extension. She had 80 million in change after this and proceeded to build more tractor beams.

The Orca is almost done now.

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 02:39:46 +0000

Margarite has been mostly busy with her alt mining the past two months. She has now built almost all the parts for the Orca. She may have to buy about 12 or 16 more parts or find blueprint copies for these, mine some more and build these. Today she mined mostly scorderite and was able to build 8 different parts.

Her alt flew an Orca a corpporation mate owned. Margarite also set up a new corporation player owned station in a new home system.

Margarite's spreadsheet for Gallente Tech II ships.

This spreadsheet allows one to budget and estimate profit for building Gallenete Tech II ships. It is generic and you fill in the green market prices and purple number of ships you want to make. Here is the link Gallente Tech II profit spreadsheet

Building an Orca

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 22:15:14 +0000

Margarite bought for 40 million isk an Orca blueprint with an Manufacturing Efficiency (ME) of 3. Her corp has some of the blueprints needed to build the capital parts for the Orca. Margarite bought herself the skill book for capital ship construction and started to build capital cargo bays yesterday. She still must build 24 more of these cargo bays. She started one run of capital construction parts and will need 13 more runs of capital construction parts. Other than this she will have to be buying parts for this Orca. This ship, the Orca is for her alt.

Margarite completed a level 1 version of "Worlds Collide"

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 01:09:42 +0000

Margarite was able to complete a mission in 0.0 space. It did not seem any different from high security space in terms of the mission itself. Because it was 0.0 space though, Margarite had to be on the look out for non alliance members who would kill her. In the end she needed help to complete the mission.

Margarite has joined three alliance fleets now in 0.0

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 09:41:14 +0000

The intelligence aspects of alliances and corporations prevent me from writing too many details of what Margarite is doing in 0.0 that is no security space. She has been flying in fleets so far and doing her bit to progress her alliances' agenda. She has had a little time outside of fleet to get her bearings. She needs to find a way to make isk out here in 0.0.

A corp member bought a Megathron Gallente Battleship blueprint and has given Margarite a copy of the blueprint today.

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:38:14 +0000

Margarite depends on the gifts sometimes from corporation members. Today one member who owns a Megathron battleship blueprint worth about one billion ISK gave Margarite a copy of this blueprint. She will build a Megathron now and sell it. Battleships need a lot of minerals to build. She mined for about one hour to get tritanium and pyerite and will need to mine plagioclase ore for another three hours to get enough mexallon and even more pyerite and trianium. Other minerals that she can not mine are going to cost approximately 25 million ISK. She should then be able to build this Megathron battleship in under five hours and sell it for 72 million ISK.

Margarite has been making Tech II ships and tractor beams and some Tech I ammo.

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:39:23 +0000

Building Tech II ships is becoming a habit for Margarite. She spends her income buying the moon materials needed to build the ship components for these Tech II ships. She has had some bad luck inventing lately but is ok with inventing the Ishkurs as these require only four datacores. At the moment she has 4 inventions jobs running to try to invent Oneiros ships again.

She is also building some 40 tractor beams.

This is all personal building compared to corporate building where she is working with others to make Tech II ammo.

Margarite needs to earn some isk for her next PLEX.

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:41:54 +0000

The tractor beam market seems to be way down. Mind you minerals are cheaper. Also Margarite's alt flies a Hulk mining exhumer now, and can mine for her. Along with this gain, Margarite's corp has had some regular mining operations in Empire pulling in millions of isk an evening.

Margarite was promoted to her corporation's Production Chief yesterday.

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:55:49 +0000

Margarite does not really do much PVP. Most of her corporation does PVP and actively seek out 0.0 alliances to join. Meanwhile Magarite does a lot of industry. She for instance invented 23 Tech II ammo blueprints on Sunday. She has also started to regularly invent Tech II Galllente ships for her own income. This has given her a reputation in her corporation of being an industrial pilot. She has had access to buying and selling using corporation funds for a year or so now and is getting used to this to support industry. Also the corporation experienced an item robbery and then were compensated with ISK. Margarite was the first one who initiated the re-stocking of the industrial hanger and the restart of the industrial production. The former head of industry has become the CEO now so Margarite was promoted to industry chief. Her new title is Chief of Production.

Margarite is managing to earn the ISK she needs for a pilot's license extension.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:09:22 +0000

Margarite was trying to earn enough to buy her alt a Pilot's License Extension (PLEX). She almost made it then the alt decided to buy a Hulk mining ship which he now flies. So Marg started again earning isk for her own PLEX and now has two Ishkur's being built and these will sell for 26 million ISK each and make up the remaining 50 million ISK she will need for her license.

Margarite lost a battleship in a level 4 mission earlier this morning.

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 18:24:01 +0000

Margarite had built a Maelstrom battleship from a blueprint copy she had bought. She had done this inspired by the little fan fiction film "Clear Skies". Last night her buddy wanted to teach her more about damage. They worked to fit the Maelstrom for shield protection. Then they went into the mission "When Worlds Collide". Margarite got jammed and could not warp out to safety and the pirates destroyed her battleship. She escaped in her capsule. It was not too serious and Margarite collected some insurance on the ship. She was not using this ship too much so she felt no great loss in all this.

Margarite was targetted today in Jita but escaped.

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 20:22:40 +0000

There was only one war target in system in Jita when Margarite logged in today. She had arrived in Jita last night with an escort. She had brought 1 million units of tech II ammo to sell. She made all this ammo. She bought some moon materials in Jita and was ready for the flight home. She predicted the war target at worse would try to target her Occator when she undocked but that she could get into warp and sustain damage and still make the first gate. In fact, the one war target did target her but he did not even get a shot off before Margarite was in warp and away. Once out of Jita no further war targets were seen.
