Mining my Very First Moon
stargrace 
I’m not sure when moons and moon mining came to the game, but I do know that until now, I’ve never actually mined one before. A giant laser fractures a piece of moon, and then a timer counts down (days long), and then eventually that fractured piece splits into little pieces that you can mine. Some moons are more valuable than others, this one that I’ve been mining at is a R4 which is apparently not that great, but I was still just excited to be doing something I’ve never done before.
I believe what you do with moon goo is process it and then use it for reactions – but I’ve not gotten into those, either. I also can’t compress this moon goo, and it’s huge and awkward, so I have no idea what I’ll end up doing with it. Maybe I’ll start getting into reactions. I hear there’s lots of profit to be made with that but you need to do some research and have some capital to get started. It’s something I can look into, in any case.
Things have been blissfully quiet lately. I bought a second porpoise so that I wouldn’t have to keep swapping my ships around between characters. I’ve been contemplating a 3rd account (Eep) because things in EVE tend to escalate the more accounts you have. I’ve been doing well with two, and I enjoy multiboxing on this level, but there’s always that little voice urging me for just a little bit more.
Now, what am I going to do with all of this Butumens and Cinnabar.
