Sweet!

After telling my tale of woe to another some friends who have been playing much longer than myself, I was given some great advice as well as replacements for everything waiting on contract for me in Jita!  Thanks!

I'm now being more careful with my Vexor.  I'm still ratting, but I choose to stay in 0.5 or above space. Not that it's that much safer, but least it makes me feel safer.  Still ratting for scraps though.  Need to make some ISK.

Dominion is coming tonight.  Won't be much change for me I think, although I have been thinking about creating an alt and the new exploration career path looks cool.

Frack!

Lost my Vexor last night.  Had almost completely fitted it out according to this link and was ratting in .4 Mara when a couple of bullies came along.  The prevented me from warping out and I lasted about 20 seconds.  One guy did 99% of the damage.  I ended up lossing 28.4mil.  Ouch.  Considering I only have about 34mil in the wallet right now, that really hurts. Not sure what my next step is.  I already bought a new Vexor but haven't even picked it up yet.  I was starting to get some decent drops too.  Need to re-focus on making ISK in less risky ways I guess.

It's been a while...

I'm still here.  Logged on for a little while this past weekend to sell some loot.  I'm still looking at ways to increase the wallet and at the same time have been training up for that Vexor setup I keep talking about.  I'm pretty much there, but am finishing out some Heavy Drone Operation so I can run some better drones.  All in all though, I'm ready to make the 16 or so jumps back to my Vexor and try some pew pew action.  I will probably start ratting in lower sec space and might try some PVP although I can't really afford it right now. 

Buying all of the necessary items for my new Vexor config would pretty much break me, so I won't buy all of it right away.

I'm working on some trades too.  I need to develop a system of find good trades.  It takes a lot of work though.  I really need to get an alt in Jita, but don't want to take away from valuable training time from my main.  Maybe when I hit 10mil SP I'll create an alt.

I'm on travel this week, so I will probably have lots of time to play.  Here's hoping!

Downtime

No posts recently, because I just haven't been playing.  I got sick of running missions for little, or in some wierd cases no standings bump.  My corp wasn't really up to anything I was qualified for, so I decided to take a little break and mess around with X-Plane for a while. 

I did start training for the Vexor setup I wrote about last time.  I got my longest skill out of the way (Hull Upgrades V) and then commited the cardinal sin of not training anything for over 4 hours!  Back on it again though training Afterburner IV.  Haven't bought the necessary learning skills do decrease the total time by a few days.  Not worth it to me at this point.  Still need to buy some cheaper skills to finish out the requirements for the Vexor setup though.
