Podcast : Nervous about Tuesday

PI note: Eve University has some great info on planetary interaction. 

Well this coming podcast will the best ever or Epic fail. Not sure if there is an in-between. 

   A guest speaker gave me a 5 minute plug.  That is a point in best ever. 

   My friend has conceded to doing cohosting duties. And we go off topic alot. 3 points to fail. 

   Kind of nervous about doing it.  But rain or shine, what's the worst that could happen.  It's not like I make my livelyhood off the podcast. ( boy that is a scary thought). 

   I submittted my name to the capsuleer people for a video blog. No word back but since it's memorial weekend, I wouldn't expect any. 

   Still wouldn't it be nice to get that hook up. Maybe not, cause then I might have to actually work at the podcast and not play. 

    I'm halfway to getting the video software I wanted. Maybe in another month.

PI: Mr Roboto

I'm pretty sure this will be my last Planetary Interaction post for a couple if weeks while I wait for my skills to catch up on the Elite Command Center. 

If your real lucky it will also be my last post, but I doubt it. 

 A wise man would shut up now, since to really cover today's subject I need to be in front of my computer. So let me continue...

During my small time on SiSi I would just roam planets scout and throw extractors where ever. While this was fun, it is not a good idea if you want to really do something. 

  You need a plan.  The best way is to look at what your end product you want to make then go backward. 

    Right now I am sure there are smart brainiacs working feverishly on Excel to bring all the schematics to life. So far I haven't found them yet. If you think I'll do that - your insane. 

   What I did do was bounce around different processors and look at what they will make. So lesson one. 

   Not all planets are created equal. 

   The processors on certain planets will make an item, that no one else can. So not only do you need Elite CC for the power grid, you need to find the right planet to make stuff on. 

    Case in point : Robotics. You will need robotics for Pos fuel and T2 production.  Robotics comes from advance processors not high tech (ie you cannot get the highest and work to lower schematics) to make robotics you need XXXX ( meaning I don't remember) and mechanical parts.

 To make mechanical parts, you need blah blah blah ( nope, drawing a blank )     To make blah blah blah, you need something somthing and nobel metals. Nobel metals can be found on Plasma Planets ( very rare ) or Barren planets. And on Barren Planets, they are the least resourceful of the 5 listed. 

  So demand for robotics will be twice as high as the rest, but it's base items are one of the least populated in high sec. Hence - demand. This means if you don't care about PI at all 

1) you stop reading a long time ago 
2) all you need to do is find a barren planet throw down an extractor on the Nobel Metals and sell them when you get around to it. Cause there will be a market. 

  it also might impact the PoS fuel market and T2 ship market pretty strongly. 

  Already CCP has stumbled and cut off the PoS fuel prematurely and then brought it back.  So you know where this is headed. 

  I do appologize for not having all this stuff memorized, but if you want me to expand / expound on the schematics drop me a line.

PI: Captain Obvious

Side note : as expected you can use Function keys when in planet mode. 

I am starting to rationalize the PI slider.   

There are 2 small triangles on the slider. 1 on each side of the color bar. The left one is to the minimum and the right - maximum. 

   My belief is that it is similiar to Gain on an amplifier.  Since I am in Empire space the minerals are not as abundant. Hence I can increase the gain to show me where the highest minerals are. But if I was to go to Low or Null sec then my settings would be oversaturated and everything would be white. 

That is why the video they move the slider to just showing red, while I chose to just start white. 

Same topic. Different note. 

  Worked on remote sensing. First off I had a parts run 4 jumps over. So I set my mode to planet and made the jumps while my view stayed the same. This does make docking painful, but the jumps are nice. If you did this style for a long time. Might need to add stations to an overview tab - to help with docking. 

   As far as how to remote view other system planets while sitting in stations , I  found a way but it is a bit convoluted. 

   I opened the star map. On the solar system tab, you just move the cursor to isolate the planet then click on planet mode. Fairly straight forward approach. 
 
   For far remote viewing, I went to the star map tab and right clicked a star. I didn't find planet mode. But I did finally use a very old feature. Show system in side browser ( sorry I can't remember the name they call it). Anyway, it is the one where it gives you 4 windows. Top being the universe, next is the region, next is the constellation, last being the solar system. When you right click on a planet in the solar system, it will give all the moons, belts, and the planet. Going over the planet will give you the planet mode option. 

 Now  came my next roadblock. You can scan with in your Remote Sensing skill range. The planet I really wanted to see was 5.22 LY away. And my range (currently) is 5 LY. 

   One last note: while I was looking around I went to the building tab in planet mode and hovered over the command stuctures. Elite said I didn't have Command Center upgrade to 5 (yet), advance - 4, improved - 3, standard -2. All these are true (right now). But the intresting thing was when I goto limited. It tells me I don't have the command center in my cargo hold. Which made me wonder, if I have a CC in my hold and remote sensor into my range. Would the computer let me drop a CC on a planet far away?

  My guess is No. Eve uses a linear denail system. In that once I meet one condition then the next road block will pop up. So that if I get a CC in my cargo hold, then it will say something like you are not in range. 

    But if it doesn't,  that would be awesome.

SW:ToR - Companions

Well the 2nd most anticiapated part of ToR is the Companions to me. 1st being 100% voice acting.

I wish they had released a video on the companions, but oh well.

My big concern is still, In the central player hub to see 10 or so Sith Warriors all having Veerne hanging out with them. I hope I can atleast change her name, if skin color. I think it will take away from the concept seeing multiple people playing with the same companion.

Then again a high level Companion might draw crowds of people ooohing and ahhhing. I know I would be one.

Just hope they have better UI controls then the Eve Drones.
-Jason

PI : Did I mention my scanning ability?

It seems my ability to scan wormholes has migrated into my ability to scan planets. 

  cause I just don't get it. Yeah I watch the CCP video 3 times. And yes I have remote sensing at 3. Understanding thermal graphs : check. 

  Its the slider I am lost on. 

  You pop up a planet, click scan and select the largest bar (since it has the most resources). Makes sense so far. The planet goes thermal. And it has low resolution, now here is my deal. If you take the slider and move it all the way to the left - the planet goes white (for the most part). What I was doing was moving it all the way until the white just started to appear. Then thought that was the hotest and there for the best concentration. But I have no idea if that is true. 

On the subject of remote sensing. The skill talks about scanning planets up to 9 light years away. That is a long distance. I have yet to see something in a solar system measured in LY. Much less 9. Which leads me to wonder can I scan planets in other solar systems. And even more importantly, how?

  As for planetology and advance planetology,  what do they really do?  The attibutes tell me they are rank 4 and the memory/chrisma. But not how they effect anything. 

Either way, I'm still training to level 5. 
-Jason

Beginings of my long PI journey

Intresting note:

  As I am sure most people found, you can view planetary mode away from planets. 

   This presents intresting dynamics when running mind numbing missions. I waited until I was on the last battleship then picked a local planet to scout out.   

My remote sensing skill wasn't acivated yet (it will get to 3 around 7:10 tonight). This means that there wasn't a whole lot I could do right then. I didn't try to use the Function Keys to see if I could still fight effectively. Will try that another time. 

Overall with no skills and in high sec. The planet was pretty dry on mining, but not empty.  This time tommorrow I will be working on plantary to 4 to get advance to 4. My overall goal is to get all 5 skills to 5 ASAP. Or as fast as jumping in and out of implants will allow. 

I have about another week to get another recon. Still I might just wait and keep grinding for that jump clone.  Then I could keep the recon permenantly down there.

I believe I will do more posting on PI. It has tickle my funny bone a bit. 

  wasn't it weird that the 2 main skills cost an odd amount. Right down to the .01 isk. I have no idea why, but I am sure it means something. 

  oh and by the way,  Star Defender has a great post on the products on PI. 

-Jason 
  

3 thank yous

Cough,

Wow. Ok, maybe other people are just used to things like people actually reading their blogs. Me, I am still in shock.

So just wanted to drop a small line and say Thank you to :

X1376 - you will always be my first

Kirith Kodachi - hmmm, I think I may have read something of yours.

Langaidin - Welcome to the Loopie Zone. It was the twilight zone, but those darn vampires kept showing up.

Thank you again.
-Jason

What to do, What to do...

Well there is rarely a good thing about playing 3 MMOs.

But when Eve goes offline (I only had 4 minutes left on getting my mission finished... whew), that means I can roll right into EQ2 with no thought about WAHHH!

Played with the Rat for a bit. Got his tinkering up to max allowed, I was able to get a skill up every time I tried now. Which means - I am alot luckier then I have ever been. Or they changed the rules on me... again.

I see that Song Li has got a new show out. Sweet!!!

Congrats to Mynxee for becoming president by a large margin.

And last but not least, most blogs talk about what to do for the 18 hours of withdrawl from Eve-crack. Sleep, see a movie, go outside and look at the bright shiny thing in the sky.

Me, I get to repair a septic spary head.
-Jason

This thought brought to you by the word - Random

Swap skills, pulled out 2 inventions - 1 of which failed, and finished hauling stuff around. Yeah that is an exciting topic. 
 
   Last 4 days watched parts of the movie "They Live". Yeah, I am one of those guys. Googled " I am here to chew  bubblegum and kick ass. And I am all out of bubblegum."  I thought it was Bruce Campbell in the evil dead series that had that line. But I was wrong.  Still that is one of the best lines ever. 

   Yesterday I got some sad news Heroes, Chuck, and V are being cancelled. Heroes I am not so worried about. It became a convulted mess, the writers painted themselves in a corner multiple times. Then the next season would forget what powers Sylar or Peter had. 

   At least SGU is still around. Man, love that show. 

  Ran through a mission on STO. the entire away team was to shoot 5 tribble patches. No one shot back, not deadly tribble came to haunt me. Overall pretty lame. 

    Finished the night with some EQ: time. 

   How was your weeked?
-Jason 

Podcast note

So for those of you wanting me to stop my podcasts. - bad news, it will still happen. 

For those of you who want me to keep my podcast. - bad news, it will be a month or so. 

  I did ask 3 people to do a little personal segment. My thought was similar to the way Chad did the last Fly Reckless. Except this would be them saying whatever came across their mind. With maybe a small interview (5 to 15 minutes) about any noob question I could throw in. 

 My responses were great! 
 No. 1 said it was a great idea, but got my podcast confused with someone who is actually good. When I gave them the link to mine. They were never heard from again. 

 No. 2 said it was a great idea, but had lots of commitments and was not sure if they could get away to do a little segment. But try back in a month or so. And was never heard from again. 

  No. 3 said it was an intresting idea, and "I will think about it". And was never heard from again. 

   All 3 were cold calls, I dropped in on them out of the blue. So it is not a supprise.  

   Then I got to thinking about opening up the floor. I am still partial to this, but from what I have seen from other podcasts offers - not many will do this. 

   So that lead my to beg and plead, and brow beat a friend of mine into agreeing to try co-hosting. That way I sound a little less Zombiefied while reading. And maybe an intresting dialogue will pop out. 

Trying to get my CEO friend also to hop on so we can have the entire Corp on and chat for 30 minutes. 

  His schedule is jammed, and he was never heard from again.

SW:ToR: Late Addition

Went to Darth Hater last night to see what they have about Fridays release of Hoth. 

Lo and behold there was a late entry of a conversation piece between a Jedi and his contact. Had the Mass Effect wheel with 3 choices. I couldn't read them, the screen was too small. 

Of cousre I did this while my wife was watching TV. She did not appreciate my interrupting her with geek-talk. But it was sweet. 

Just throw another log on the "I want to play this NOW!!" fire. 

-Jason. 

SW:ToR. Anyone have some ice?

Just in time for summer - Hoth!!

  I was really hoping for this planet. And since I am already familiar with salvaging (thank you Eve). I should be able to help out with all those lovely ship wrecks now. 

   Will be intresting to see what Darth Hater has to say about the planet and the Arabesh. Didn't get a chance to read part 3 of the comic. But I am sure it will happen soon.

  Any ideas on what races they are going to release or when do you think they will announce it?

-Jason. 
  

Mission length

Wonder if I can load pictures today?  Guess I will find out soon. 

Man, Angel Extravaganza is long. I really wish there was a way to tell the agents - 30 minute mission please. As it stands it's a complete crap shoot. I am not saying the players select the mission.  Just let me have short, medium, or long choices on missions. With length vs rewards.

 Of course I already see the debate on 30 minutes at 500 loyalty points vs 5000 in 6 hours. They would start whining about being unfair. But there has to be a reasonable solution. 

Other then that.  - drone salvagers -  

-Jason 
 

Wahoo

Just a thought. But if I didn't have access to high end moons, but wanted to do super capital production. Would getting a class 2 wormhole make the most sense?  Only a battleship could come in, and then only a certain number before the WH closes.  If you are in null sec you always have a chance to see everything come visit. 

Started skilling up connections on the alt. Just to try and expedite getting him a jump clone. Finally got him a recon ship, so the fuel requirements have gone from 500 to 80. That is helpful. 

I still need that 3 rd account. But I am saving up for the iclone software. It's probably silly, but it will help me stand out. 

Over 1000 subscribers, and my first iTunes review !!!  

   Other then that my rent was increased by 50%, but I will get a chance at Planetary Interaction now. 

  Hope you have a great weekend. 
-Jason 


There appears to be a problem loading images. So that is one thing that sucks.

EQ2 takes a page from Eve handbook

Funny how Eve seems to affect my other games. 

   EQ2 has changed since the last time I played. The level cap is now 90. I get a temp pet as a wizard. And the sage aspect seems to have been nerfed. 

    Oh back in the day. I chose Sage profession since it was the only way to increase the level of my spells. Now it gets me to the first level. Then I have to find a research agent and tell him what skill I want to raise up. After X amount of days - Ding it's ready for pickup. Sounds familiar to me. So like eve I have to decide what I want the most now and plan for later. 

Overall I do enjoy this style of thought. 

-Jason  

SW:TOR. Are we there yet?

I have tried to keep to the idea - to never want time to speed up. Enjoy today and leave tommorrow for tommorrow. It usually doesn't happen, but it is something to strive for.

   But not with Star Wars: the Old Republic. Ohhhh man, I can't wait for 2011. I hear lots of people down playing it, and that is fine.  No game is for everyone.  In fact, when I first heard about it I thought it was another attempt at Galaxies. No thank you!  

   Them some how I found their desire to focus on story. And the voice acting, they grab my attention then. 

   Since then I found Darth Hater podcast. To me they have truelly set the bar on what a good show is.  And their website is not bad either. 

    This Friday Bioware introduced the advance class system. It reminds me of EQ2 class system when they first came out. Eq2 got a lot of  flak from the fan base and finally let you start out as any class. So it makes me wonder if SW :TOR will have a similar problem. 


Either way I'm stoked. 

-Jason
   

Special thanks to X1376

A special thank you to X1376. Yesterday I was ready to give up the ghost. After reading A scouts domain - he referenced me to  http://podlogs.com/2ndanomolyfromtheleft/. This guy is good. 

   I really do not care for smack talk.   When I see him critize another ship fitting, I am thinking he might be another Urban Mongrel. 

But 1) the fittings really were painful to look at 
2) he was very constructive and helpful in his thought process. 

  He even goes so far as to discuss ship fittings for various play styles. 

I found myself reading alot longer then I expected on his blog. 

   After that I realize I am just not that caliber. My blog is mainly just randomly generated thoughts that go through my mind while I play. 

  If I did have a hook it would be the funny pictures, or the podcasting notes. 

But if your looking for quality, I gotta say : this ain't it. 

-Jason
 

Why write?

Been reading blogs now for about a year. All thanks to capsuleer. 

   Some people write to help others understand concepts. 

   Some people write to become famous. 

   Some people write to help them with their creativity. 

     Some people write to interact with others. 

      Some people write  to vent frustrations. 
  
       Some people write to show an idea. 

        Most people incorporate more then one aspect of these. And a few others. 

       Then there is me. I write just to see if how long I last with this project. I freely admit that this blog has turned out to be quanity over quality. There are ALOT of great to read blogs out there. 

Inner sanctum of niNveah,
Life in low sec
A scouts domain
Eveoganda 

   These are just off the top of my head. Of course I enjoy reading the 3 I have linked on my blog page. 1 of them is not even Eve related. 

    But for me, I just ramble alot.  

Real life calls
-Jason    

Grrrrriinnndding

What a world....
What a world....

The grinding is getting to me. I found myself less and less signing into Eve for the joy of the game. And more and more to accomplish paying bills and moving the reputation ball a few more feet towards the end zone. And to think that I might need a 3rd account. But such is life.

I found a mission that I just simply could not do. The acceleration gate drops me 3000 meters from 6 battleships. No matter how hard I tried they could repair the damage by the time I got back from a warp away.   But other then that it's just one big grind. 

    Looked at STO and shrugged. So last night I went back to an ol one. EQ2. It was nice seeing an actual character do something. I also had a grind with him last night. 

  So I was curious why EQ2 didn't bother me so much. Guess No. 1 would be it is different. 2 - I could see movement on my exp bar. After 2 hours I got a new level -47. After 2 hours in eve I get like .25 faction jump, if that. 

  Oh and Planetary Interaction looks to only have 2 skills total, and I will not be allowed to try PI in nullsec since we don't own the space we are occupying. 

Hope you all have a good weekend,
-Jason

Open mouth. Insert foot

Behold!!!!  The power of a noob. 

Sigh. 

So I put off the podcast for a bit. I want to get the new software before I go any farther. 

I went to the first meeting of the alliance directors. Lot of hush hush things happen. 

   But I still couldn't stop myself from letting my complete lack of knowledge show through. 

   1) in case you didn't know ( and I did not) you can build capitals in null sec stations.  Just not super caps. 

    2) when on teamspeak, don't enable voice activate. You never know when your wife will try to move a table across the title. Setting everyones teeth on edge. 

    And 3) never state the wrong person setup your forum chatroom. They get really mad, Really quick. 

Really quick.

Eve Calender

Stopped in to SiSi to see about PI skill updates. Nothing there.

They did change the opening log in screenshot. Not sure if I like it as much.

Was bouncing around and noticed that the Eve-time stamp had a big 11 below it. Looked at my watch and yep it is May the 11th. Opened up the calender to see that the 18th is the Tyrannis launch.

After that I strolled through the future months to see if they had any information. They didnt. The only intresting little fact was that it only goes out 1 year then it stops at May 2011.

-Jason

;)

In STO news - it's still there. 

As for eve. Today's note is brought to you by the word - grind. 

   So I sit here - still groggy from sleep - staring at a computer screen, trying to figure out how to make grinding missions funny, informative, or just plain intresting. Fail. 

    Switch to STO. The only news there is that the House of Mog (the guild I am in) is now the largest Klingon guild. And one of the biggest guilds in the game. Congrats to management for pulling that off. 

   Then there is CrazyTalk. While it is fun to play with. 

   1) I can't save anything with the trial version. 
    2) it's not completly exciting if I had to watch the bobble head for a 20 to 35 minute presentation. 
     3) but it is fun to watch for me. Thinking about making a 30 second hello for **+***. And then sending it him. Hopefully he gets a smile. 



It's all about the smiles. 
-Jason 

Human vs. Computer

Over the last few weeks ( or a month) I have kept talking about green screens.   And of course money. Thing is, I am just not that interested in seeing myself on the "big screen".  And of course money. 

   While doing my normal job function, I was thinking about alternatives. The best idea I had was using an animated bust. 

    A few clicks on the good 'ol iPhone and presto - Crazytalk. This program lets you import pictures and then animates them. 

I can get the picture by using the character creator in Eve Online. Then control F9 to take out the UI. Get a high def screen shot and presto - instant photo op. 

And of corse the money. 
Crazytalk Pro - $150
Eve Online - priceless

Vs.

Green screen software - $ 135
Really poor camera - $ 80
Lighting - 3 x $90
Space to set up a studio ( camera needs to be roughly 8 to 12 feet away ) - not going to happen

    With all the excitement, I got home and looked it over again. Sure enough there is a free trial version (barebones) for 14 days. 

Making the picture and importing it was a breeze. Well not really, the first time trying to find where Eve puts the screenshots was a pain. But after that it is a snap

Then it all turned to goo. Crazytalk has a bug in it for Windows 7,  took awhile but I got the patch for that. But my characters jaw still doesn't move. 

  So I don't know if it is my computer ( it meets recomended specs), the software, or what. 

 A little bummed about it. 
-Jason 

Complaint Dept

Made a new character last night. 

Caldari - so I parked him in Jita to do price checks. 

I was afraid the name would be taken. But alas : Complaint Dept lives

Aurora was not happy that I didn't spend the 3 hours on her tutorial.  If I ever get a 3rd account - errr when is more realistic - I will run through it then. Since I need 3 accounts to move my carrier around. 

Hmmm it just hit me, if I move him down to the pocket before I start working on him (as a 3rd account) then I shouldn't care about the clone stuff. Anyway, it's an idea to think about. 

Realized the video editor is a good converter. And the show " Clear Skies " will not let you watch on the iPhone. So I convetered it to mp4. Ie for the I phone. 

I also realized that my podcast had pretty much eaten through all the available memory I had bought.  I am not going to pay $500 for some more either.  So I tried my hand at archiving stuff. I hope I didn't mess it up. 

   Anyway. I put Clear Skies 2 up on the podcast. This mainly for 1) me 2) the newbies who might not have seen them before.  I did give the link in my intro line. I know I am not trying to take credit for it. 

  Yeah, yeah. I know. I should have done 1. Not 2. I was just trying the converter out.  


Honestly I get more feedback from the blog then the podcast.  You see I really am not an attention hog. I prefer the shadows. I am doing this more for fun, then to be a celebrity. Hence no advertisemrnt at all. Also why I am so shocked when I got over 7 people subscribing to the podcast.  I did put the name Acinom into the front screen. My thought is with Complaint Dept, that  I will start asking people for feedback. If Neutral Zone can read bad reviews on the air. Then so can I.

 After all I am just reading stuff, it's not like I am doing story time with Dillion. 

-Jason 

Once again.....

And once again I am a leaf on the winds of change. 

    As much as I enjoy mining, it doesn't help get a jump clone or get R&D agents. So went back to missions. This time I decided to just try level 4s. Ran a few with my Battlecruiser. Then I got a combat mission. 

    Not wanting to die the horrible death - yet again, I went to eve-survival.com. Got the low down and was able to crank through a few of them.  At one point the agent wanted me to fight Amarr (declined) then Caldari. This lead to me logging off and jumping onto STO. 

Finished listening to the last Podded podcast. Besides being sad, I heard once again of a non-miner wanting to change mining. Why is that?  I bet that same person wouldn't want me to change PvP for their game.

 Once again I wonder: Does anyone at CCP like mining?
-Jason 

Podded just got podded

OH NOES!!!!!!
   
    Not Podded podcast ?!?!?  

   Well phoey, what a way to start off your morning. 

    I think I will live in denial for awhile. With the tourney coming up in June, they might get the band back together for a show.

  That leaves decalrations of war, fly reckless, and maybe drone bay. 

  They will be missed
-Jason 
 

Quick Planetary Interaction warning

In case someone else missed it.

I jumped on SiSi with both characters to see if you disappear when you go into planet mode. Since your ships info goes away.

Short and sweet (well sour) nope.. You are a floating target that doesnt even have your shield, armor, structure to tell you when you've been hit. That means you could have a pirate drop drones out and sweep the area to uncloak you. Then pop you. I do not know when you lose your ship or pod if you are pulled out of planetary mode.

Not really that into killing myself. Its a personal thing.
-Jason

I love trailers

http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/62355/eve-online-tyrannis/videos/eveonline_trl_tyrannis_43010.html?show=hi

I will probably never see a titan up close. But man, that is sexy.

Research and moon mining

Just curious, since I have no knowledge on this. But doesn't 22 mil for research fees seem a little excessive?  Seems to me it would be worth the run to Solitude and just work on them there. 

   Doing my Reading for the podcast. And the last thing mention was the low cost of R.A.M.s. Went and look - yep they are roughly 500k. And the material cost is fairly low. Didn't have time, but I am gonna load up on these. Throw them in the ME cooker for a month or so. Then build a few. 

    CEO wanted me to look into moon mining. It's not that we have the ubber moon. In fact we might not get any with the gold rush and all (about a month late).  But I looked around. Found a nice Tribune article from year 2.   

My setup is  not the ubber either:

Gallente control tower
Moon mining array
Silo
8 hardners (2 of each type)
5 large rails
5 small blaster
And a few Ew mods

My thought was that a real fight would wipe out more then my tower. And there isn't anything I can build to stop a gang of Dreads. But a small Battleship roam, I am hoping to convince them to look somewhere else. We will see what he says.

   And I still think mission running is more boring then mining.

Bookmark Fail

Now I could be a complete fail on this, no problem. But is there a limit on how far away you drop a bookmark from a celestial object?

   I know the 20 AU from the outmost celestial object. But just bouncing between 2 of them (28 AU distance) I watched as my bookmark pin showed up well after I hit " make bookmark". 

   Oh well.  Just keep on trying. 

  Anyone heard any rumors why trig prices have fallen?

Tiny Planetary Interaction update

Have a few pictures, and while I would promise to clear up the resolution. I have no clue how to do it.

Mainly this shows the info presented for the BASIC command structures. And more importantly, they have "realeased" 2 skills for PI.

Command Center Upgrade skill - adds 1 more PCC that you can command for a total of 6 (1 free + 5).

Interplanetary Consolidation skill - increase energy output of PCC.

The rest of this will just be pictures. Taken with a fuzzy computer.
