That Makes You a Sad Panda

We are currently in the middle of a lawsuit with PETA, for our unethical treatment of Pandas.

In our defence, what other action should we take when a corp full of relatively young pilots choose to set up home in the only high sec system in the middle of a dead end low sec pipe? We wonder if they moved out here to avoid war decs, can flippers and general harassment. That would be a mistake.

Props to them though, they sure can get a gang together and seem to be well up for battles here and there when there’s enough of them.

They’ve killed some of us, we’ve killed some of them. And so it goes on.

I actually got my first opportunity to really test the overheating capabilities on my new Rifter: “Crinkley” against one of their youngsters. I screwed up, failing to turn it off in time to save my afterburner, almost destroying my point and web too. Still, one Cormorant down. I didn’t really expect to lose the battle given the pilot was rather new.

Trading. No. Just… No.

So I was bringing my alt up from Jita to deliver some more Rifters, a Thrasher and some mods. Sat in Jita I thought to myself that now would be a good time to check price differences between there and Rens, the Minmatar trading hub.
I decided that items used primarily by the Minmatar would be the best plan, although I would absolutely not be the first to think this and take advantage of it.
Anyway, I settled on an item that would, in theory, net me a quick 25mil profit with the limited capital I could put into it and made my way to Rens happily.

As I type, approximately 12 hours later, half of them have sold and I have been forced to lower my prices about 20 times due to being undercut by 1 isk over and over again. Once sold my profit will still be about 20mil, but being sat in a station checking my order details every 10 minutes or so is not my idea of fun. At all.

Though it is slightly amusing to watch all the big time traders scramble to beat the prices of a one-off trading test.

I think I’m just too impatient. I don’t want isk in a couple of days. I don’t want to sit there watching my wallet go up by a mil or two every hour.

I WANT TO BLOW STUFF UP.
