Great read. This is getting really interesting. Good job Pinky.

About Nea's, as of last VU things there have changed dramatically. The ambu's have had thier stats changed and the behaviour there is different.

I find that I don't enjoy sweating there anymore due to this. Where as before I was getting tons and tons of sweat and help there.

Pinky, I am curious, did any of your soc mates tell you to only mine enmatter or ore? and not both? This is something that would be important info to a noob who didn't get the survey and prospect were linked to dif mining.

Keep up the good work!

Best,
Patricia "Val" Burns

Actually no. I was just told mining, and figured a new player wouldn't know the difference bewteen the two, so i tossed a coin and Heads came up which meant ores. Shame really as the enmatter would have been a lot more probes for a lot less money! 300 compared to the 150 i have been using...

go pinky go!!!

Actually, for me, it seems there's an art to sweating at Nea's. Like you said, too many sweaters per ambu makes poor returns on average.

However, get 10ish to 1, add a healer, and like the other commentor in this thread said, 400-600 per hr isn't too difficult.

Oh man, i hate starting serials before they're finished.

Thanks for the entertaining story. It's amazing how much some things change -- and some things stay the same.

Some guy started following me around and sweating my ambus at Nea's today, and frankly it bothers me. My good system is disassembled atm, so every extra effect reduces the already poor fluidity of the game. I stopped shooting long enough for him to be killed off by a mob, and i guess he got the hint.

As you can see from the title picture, the chosen armor was Pixie purchased from some guy in Port Atlantis. I also got myself a TT Vivo, pistol, and 100 bombs to get started. While at the TT, I received a chat invite from a stranger. I accepted and was chatted up by some weirdo wanting to cyber with me...

Now I figure this is unfair! I spent thousands of PED trying to make Pinky as sexy as possible (just like me IRL!

) and never get propositioned like this... but pick random features in an attempt to "blend in" and wear nothing but ragged OJ's and I get the offers!

(No, that doesn't mean I want any offers, I'm just annoyed the noob got one and not me!

)

It happens far more than it should. On one irritable day I solved it with "Sure hotstuff! Now go distract that Elite Boss for me."

In summary, today I learned several things: Swamp Camp for sweating and Amethera for mining

. Told you not a lot happened...

Crowd mentality. They hear it is good, tell ALL of their friends, soon the place is swarming. Then you have 20 bits of loot split 40 ways, people complain, but for a while the influx exceeds departures and the area remains "overharvested" for a while. Also I have found that some areas can be rather 'time of day' dependant.
