After living through some Bob wars, fighting Goonswarm with CORM and then living the life of a vagabond with my corp through alliance space, I started thinking about what I really want to do. Given the limited flying time I usually get, it made no sense to continue waiting for hours for fleets to form. I was hoping that the faction war would be a good opportunity for someone like me to get some glory but my hopes were quickly dashed when I realized it only meant more waiting for more fleets to form.
Hence I decided to turn to the dark side and start pirating. My plan was simple, equip a nice thorax and hunt through Black Rise. Unfortunately, either from lack of hunting experience or guts, the amount of target to engage was extremely limited and I fell victim to a faction gang three weeks later. With only two kills and no money to show for it, it called for a different plan of attack.
I turned to high sec missioners ganking. I equipped my Brutix to the hilt, bought a scanning ships and started looking for prey in a high activity secure space. Ironically, while space always seems full of newbie CNR when I fly missions, I have yet to catch one in mission... and even when I eventually do, I don't know if they will make the mistake of engaging me after I toy with their wrecks.
But what i have learned so far is that a lot of people forget their drones.. so while I might be failing at yarring at least I am making some money finding tech Ii drones in the emptiness of space.
In the mean time.. back to my trustee CNR for some quick ISK to pay for that Brutix.. Hopefully as I get better at scanning I can move from err to yarr...
I can only hope that these pages will get better as I find success..
