Guess what? I am still here.

Well it has been a few weeks since I have last posted. There have not been any huge new changes since the last time. I did remove the corporation from Faction Warfare allowing me to move some assets around. I spent a few weeks out in Amarr space working for the Amarr Navy trying to improve my standing with them. I do have to admit that I enjoy flying their ships, such a dramatic change from my Caldari ships. However it was starting to drain me financially, I will definitely go back once I get more padding in the good old wallet. I also spent some time doing a bit of exploration here and there; found some nice faction loot as well.

The corporation did double in size; we can now actually refer to ourselves as we or any other plural now. Yes as you might have guessed we went from one member to two members. Sateep has joined, good thing I removed the corp from Faction Warfare as Sateep is a Gallante. Guess I will have to get around to opening an office again so we can easily transfer assets to each other.

So I have been thinking about trying a bit of industry, once I get my skills up. However I have no idea what I want to do or even how to do it. Industry is one aspect I have never really dabbled in. I will need to do some research. If anyone has any great or good or any advice I would love to hear it.

I am back…for now…at least.

Well my foray into SWTOR is most likely at a definite end. It was fun while it lasted. I got to play with old friends and meet new ones that I plan to stay in contact with this time. However I am now without a game again, well at least until Guild Wars 2 and PlanetSide 2 come out. I tried messing about with other games but nothing really interesting, old or new. So here I am, back in good old EVE Online. No matter how many times I leave I always seem to find my way back into the cold dark place we call space.

Well it looks like Mercurial by Design is back down to just one member again, that would be just me. I logged in to find myself in a space station in a low-sec FW system owned by the Gallente. That would be all fine and dandy except for the fact that I am part of the Caldari State and involved in faction warfare. So I picked one of my ships to undock with knowing that I will have to leave the other ships behind for the time being. I set my destination to my level four missioning stopping grounds, also my home system. I have to say I really like the new visuals with all the stars and the warp affects. Halfway to my destination I pick a random direction and space and sent my Crow to full speed so I could spend the next 30 minutes or so configuring my Overview.

Now that I am back in my home system I need to start thinking about my next steps. I know I have always been very mercurial about my gaming hence the name; however this time I think I want some sort of direction. I am really leaning with sticking with FW, but first I need to leave FW. I know a little confusing but I have to get those assets that I left behind in the now Gallente controlled system. I will need to find a new place to stage that is not in a FW system to avoid this happening again. I should also find a ship or ship type to focus on, possibly recon ships.
