I am fine for Isk, Regel sent me ten million and I am at about five million right now, but thank you for the offer.

Ok, this epic mission is starting to grind my gears.  I have tried my missile frigate and took down his shields but then he takes my shields down to zero in about five seconds.  I brought in a destroyer and that barely scratched his shields.  So far, after eight attempts I have yet to take his armour below 99%.  >.<  Time to take a break and let my skills improve I guess.

Thank you again for the fifty million Isk, although not quite sure how I will be able to spend that all any time soon.

I think I spent 10 million replenishing my ammo. Once you get into nulsec, it's like being a sheik in Dubai or something. Your perspectives change and suddenly the Ferrari is just way too plebian to drive.

For the rats, are you fitting hardeners or shields or whatever that protect against whatever type of damage that rat is doing. It can make a huge difference. I don't know if you have the skills for that yet or not. Is this a T2? You probably need a cruiser for that.

But really, PVE in Eve is terrible. If you have skills for a frigate with a point and MWD, head to nulsec. It's really a blast.

The Sisters of Eve Epic Arc (aka Newbie Epic Arc) is supposed to be done in stages. First in a frigate, then in a destroyer, then in a cruiser. It gives you the skillbooks right when you're supposed to advanced. Even then the final boss is hard to take down solo. You have to know what damage type to deal, which means "sucks to be you" if you happen to be Amarr. I managed to trick him into getting close enough to put a web on him as long range ammo wasn't breaking his tank.

I just lost a 2 billion ISK ship to an interdictor fleet in lowsec, so yeah, what Numtimi said about being a sheik in Dubai. As for the Sisters of Eve epic arc, I need to try that.

Well, I got it down last night with a few destroyers and about five million dollars of ammo.  >.< 

Supposedly when you choose which of the four final paths/races it sets up the npc to resist your chosen race's strengths. 

Another day of training and I will feel comfortable enough to head out to 0.0 space and join the corp.

It's very useful to be able to salvage and or fly a Battlecruiser such as a Drake when you move to 0.0.  This is so you can make some isk without being totally dependent on others.

I've been basically mixing up my time with salvaging and doing some limited E-War/Tackling duty when I can make Fleet Ops.   I tried out mining and thought I was making good money at about a million ISK/hour.  Then I spent about half an hour salvaging and put up a 5-6 million of crap before maxing out my sale slots.  So yes, newbie belt salvaging is a fine way to pass the time while saving up/skilling up for a Ratting Drake.

Fleet ops are also great and it's driving me bonkers that I haven't been able to fly in them more often.   But yah, 0.0 has no missions at all and is completely unstructured.  So be sure to be done with missions before flying out there.

You can run missions for the Gurista pirates in Venal, the region nextdoor to our home in Deklein.  It's risky because hostiles also live there, but it's not as bad if you're around during the Russian timezone when our allies Rebellion tend to lock down the area.  You can make a killing there if you're good at L4s and don't mind sacrificing your ability to go to empire on that character.

I would but it was lame and poorly fitted.

That said, depreciation's a bitch. The killpost only valued the whole kit at about 150 mil.

So I took the 2 month resub offer and for the time being I'm grinding some missions in hisec to remember how to play, plus I want to build up the LP to get Sisters probe gear.  I'm hoping I can go to 0.0 once I've had my fill of hisec.

I finally got into a HAC, an Ishtar.  Only 24h to tech 2 Ogre drones. Thanks Learning skills! DRILLING AND MANLINESS

Get caldari drone spec IV also, and build up your shield tanking skills.  You'll thank me when you move back to Deklein with us.

Also, crosstrain Minmatar or Amarr soon for Zealots, Muninns and Vagabonds.

Right now I am training my way to torpedos and covert ops so I can fly a manticore.

Have to say that this seems like a very casual friendly in that I can level while offline or afk.

Oh and thank you again for the salvaging tip, it seems to generate reasonable amounts of isk.

It is kind of nice only having to log in once every few days to make sure that the training queue is on track.

I remember one time on Goon TS I decided to read the US Deceleration of Independence. Some idiot started screaming that I wasn't reading the right deceleration as I didn't start with the "all men are created equal" part :D

It was actually the quietest I ever heard Goon TS as everyone way swept up in the beautiful language of the deceleration, and all the American goons had uncharacteristic pangs of patriotism  Ohhhhh, I see.

Got the Caldari drones and beefed up some shield skills.  I had the frigate skills already so I've started cross training into other races' cruisers and medium turrets.

What is the preferred sub-BS ship in fleets these days?

Why caldari drones? Aren't they pretty shitty dmg? I thought gallente were about 10% more dmg being explosion based.

Alright you nooblar bitches, give me names. I'll send you some money too. (specifically, Oban and JWIV, though I'll throw a few mil at anybody that asks.)

I am fine for Isk, Regel sent me ten million and I am at about five million right now, but thank you for the offer.

If you haven't joined the corp it is definitely worth doing so, even if you're low skilled.  You can get free frigates and such so that isk becomes somewhat irrelevant.  And the Goonwaffe guide is awesome.  It can help keep you from fucking up stuff early on that might come back to haunt you later.

Gallente drones d thermal damage, but yes they are slightly more powerful in general.  However, the NPCs in Deklein have such a large kinetic resistance hole that Caldari drones do more effective damage to them.  They also have the second highest damage multiplier of the four drone types.

Drakes and hurricanes are still the BCs of choice, with Minmatar and Amarr cruisers generally being the best for small gang and soloing work.
