Space Skilling Saturday 241 (At Monria I)

Start Location:- Monria Space Station.
Time:- 1813 MA.
Present:- Nocturaline, Phil, Wolta and Myself.
Team name:- Sleepyheads Where are they?

I arrive with time to spare which is just as well as I had not moved the ship, I warped to Monria Space Station and then went to the moon for storage before returning to wait for the crew. At 1800 no one was on-line! I sent a message to Nocturaline and Wolta and waited for a reply. Shortly after Wolta arrived. We begin the sub-warp journey to Galactic Memorial. When Phil arrives, he informs us Nocturaline is delayed a few minute, she arrives just as we enter Galactic Memorial. We encounter the Horrors at 1831, they are of the larger variety.

Wolta’s hour:- Reports very poor density and skill, a gain of 1.28% in Captain skill and that she is very sleepy. Because of this she relinquished the helm about 20 minutes early.
Kills: 8 + 6

Cee’s hour:- Distribution was not too bad, skills seemed high but loot low.
Kills: 13 + 18 + 4

Nocturaline’s hour:- Nocturaline needed to assist in repair and I had to pilot briefly during the first session. Nocturaline reports, mob density was OK and a 1.29% gain in Captain skill. I noticed an improvement in loot.
Kills: 21 + 10

This week’s stats.
Kill total – 80
Balance – Loss of 12 PED
Return – 96%

Next week we will continue testing Monria as an additional location in our circuit. Other than the distance to Galactic Memorial I am happy with it so far.

Start Location:- Rocktropia Space Station.
Time:- 1755 MA.
Present:- Nocturaline, Phil, Wolta and Myself.
Team name:- Sleepyheads back in the black

I arrive with time to spare an am soon aboard, Nocturaline joins me warping in from the new moon that has fallen into orbit of Arkadia, We encounter the Cosmic Horrors at 1759

Wolta’s hour:- Wolta reports that the Horrors were sparse at the beginning and a gain of 2.86% in Captain skill. Loot seemed reasonable.
Kills: 11 + 15

Cee’s hour:- Initial distribution was good but deteriorated loot seemed low but skills were OK.
Kills: 22 + 16

Nocturaline’s hour:- Nocturaline reports that the mob spawn was OK and a gain of 1.26% on Captain skill. During the 25 kill session Nocturaline had to go to assist in Engineering, a 54PED global came at the end of that session from a Cosmic Horror Young, other than that loot seemed poor.
Kills: 17 + 25 + 1

Space Skilling Saturday 239 (At Rocktropia V)

Start Location:- Rocktropia Space Station.
Time:- 1804 MA.
Present:- Wolta, Ntina and Myself.
Team name:- Sleepyheads Skeleton Crew

I arrive with plenty of time, the ship is already in position so I wait to see who will show, with Nocturaline and Phil still on planet leave I am not expecting many, Wolta arrives and we leave soon after. We encounter the Cosmic Horrors at 1808.

Wolta’s hour:- Loot was mostly poor. Wolta has nothing special to report.
Kills: 9 + 12 + 5

Cee’s hour:- Ntina joins at 1935, good density and skills seemed OK but loot was poor.
Kills: 13 + 16

Kill total – 55
Balance – Loss of 56 PED
Return – 65%

Space Skilling Saturday 238 (At Rocktropia IV)

Start Location:- Rocktropia Space Station.
Time:- 1805 MA.
Present:- Ntina and Myself.
Team name:- Sleepyheads Cee’s 12 years in EU

I arrive with little time to spare but am ready on time. Nocturaline and Phil have taken planet leave so I wait for Wolta who does not arrive. At 1805 I head out solo, disbanding the team on the way. And yes, 12 years ago on this day was my first day in EU, much has changed.

Cee’s two hours:- Ntina joins at 1810, I recreate the team, a little later I realise I’ve spelt Sleepyheads wrong so disband and create for a 3rd time. We soon settle into a pattern, it seems about 8 Cosmic Horrors is as much as I should collect at one time, by the time they are grouped and I am in the turret the ship has taken quite a lot of damage and I have to kill them quickly. I try to stick to just 7 but that is not always easy as the density is quite good. Skills seemed slow to gain but loot seemed quite good. Ark Royal is spotted Skilling, shortly after an explosion was heard, though she seemed intact. I take us back to Rocktropia Space Station where Ntina and I complete repairs. Ntina has done well tonight keeping the damage balanced.

Kills: 6 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7

This week’s stats.
Kill total – 50
Balance -Gain of 7 PED
Return – 105%

Next week Space Skilling Saturday will still be at Rocktropia.
