A Change Gonna Come

YC114.04.11

Well now, things are certainly shaking up around here.  RECLT is growing, and it’s not Tycho that we’ve added!

Earnest and Torvicus have joined the little corner of New Eden where James and I are making our presence felt.  I haven’t had a chance to work much with them yet, but growth can’t be a bad thing - if nothing else I can sell to them at the corporate rate...  Or as I like to call it: “You don’t need to check the prices, of course you can trust me, we’re mates!”

Now, on to more important things...

Scuttlebutt around the systems is heating up, people seem to be gearing up for major changes coming, only no one knows quite what they’ll be, or what impacts they’ll have.

First off, it looks like years of capsuleers thinning the herds of pirates has finally resulted in some evolution among those that are left: indications are they are planning on changing what they carry in easily picked-off crafts.  No longer will there be plenty of easily refined items to fill any mineral gaps I may encounter when building.

And it looks like the machines are learning too... rogue drones are finding safer ways to transport alloys as well!

Second, political unrest is looking to screw with my supply lines even worse.  It may soon become very unsafe to try pulling rocks without a combat patrol keeping watch.  Hopefully I can keep snatching up supplies while the prices are still (relatively) low.

Now, as long as no one tells Tycho the rates for ore are going up...
