I was sitting in a T1 mining barge somewhere in Gallente highsec b/c I was terrible at focusing my training back then and was too-all around and ended up not really being able to even mine effectively..


Circa 2007/08

Back in 2003, first 2-3 weeks around Villore/Orvolle area. Then took my buddies to Outer Ring where we started making bank and making friends/alliance.

Had to deal with some terrible people within our alliance at the time and we couldn't really do much about them. So I started a second "Merc" Corp and we basically setup and ganked those people that we didn't like in PF-346.

These people that we didn't like, would transport Megacyte and Zyd all the way from Outer Ring to Yulai market (First major HUB; the Jita of those times), and PF-346 was the perfect place to jump them with our "Merc" alts.

Twisted

So we ended up griefing the sh!tty people out of our alliance and made hilarious profitssssss while doing it Lol

After that we joined in with other corps and went north to take part in the first "Great Northern War"


LMAO and this was just the beginning... Cool

6 months into Eve I had wandered out into nullsec providence and was belt ratting in my thorax (still flew back to hisec every night though). I have no idea what induced me to try this, perhaps I had heard the area was NRDS. It was my first time in nullsec. I pretty quickly got hooked on the income and stopped mining and missioning. I'm not sure if the stations out there were conquerable or if they had been created by CVA. I also had to swallow my pride as a gallente because *amarr roleplayers* I only ever lost two ships out there, 1 thorax to a pilgrim, and a brutix to a Veto curse. I still find amarr recons to be effing terrifying. This was in 2006.

And where do you think you'll be in 6 months now?


At 6 months I was running lvl 4 missions in and around Dodixie. Flying my 1st Navy Raven and thought I was King of EVE because of it. Turns out I wasn't crown King of Eve till about 2 months later after I'd defeated all the Serpentis the game could make (though I hear rumors of more serps about, but those are only rumors)

6 months into Eve, I was proudly undocking my freshly trained Abaddon and shooting Serpentis battleships in Fountain belts. The sight of a faction spawn was like the world to me.

Until I found out that as an anom/belt runner my ISK income was the absolute detritus of nullsec, with the middle class being explorers and people doing the high-class DED sites, and the top being large manufacturers as well as the inner circle of Moongoo-Online.

In the meantime I was elevated to the the middle class and enjoy the semi-good life. In another half year, I plan to once again level up. Having finished all the dread support skills, having a POS in Highsec for lulz, and finally find a new home in Null again.

At six months I was running level 4's in my badly fit dominix, contemplating joining a nullsec corp and trying to make heads or tails of 'properly' fitting a ship.

Also in Solitude. Though having fun as we tried (admittingly that being the key word) to oust the local lowsec corporation, who seemed to think the small lowsec pocket within solitude's highsec was theirs. Granted they kicked our newbie butts every time but was fun anyways and a good learning experience.

Helping to kick Band Of Brothers and their allies out of Tenerifis, Feythabolis and Omist whilst losing the occasional badly fitted Scorpion or Cormorant.

Six months in... that would've been around end of January 2004. I was looking into how to make some cash with the trade goods. First cattle in Verge Vendor then booze between several regions. Including an excursion into Amarr space in a Mammoth full of the intoxicating liquid, still have the NPC customs contraband evemail saved:

Empire: Amarr Empire
Solar System: Kemerk
System Security Level: 0.8

Found Contraband:

Type: Spirits (x 91912)
Standing Penalty: 0.05
Fine: 46001956.0 ISK
Response: Confiscation

Ultimately that exercise proved to be fruitful though, I increased my cash pool from tens of millions to billion+ and was able to establish my little ammo shop. And - as they say - the rest is history ;)

Sable's Ammo Shop at Alentene V - Moon 4 - Duvolle Labs Factory. Hybrid charges, Projectile ammo, Missiles, Drones, Ships, Need'em? We have'em, at affordable prices. Pop in at our Ammo Shop in sunny Alentene.

In a UC station, queuing skills to get 'perfect' and not experiencing the game. It was a mistake.

In 6 months I may be unsubbed again. I'll have to find something entertaining in order to stick around.

I was either low sec ratting in frigs and cruisers or in hi-sec missioning in a drake by than.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.

Everything about this story is so much better than the one above

For a start, it sounds plausable


Want a KM for said CEO? :P

See that corp I was in? :P

I was running my two towers in Deven (0.3), mining and reacting silicon diborite on one, and reacting it with stuff bought from Jita into phenolic composites. And running the gauntlet through Heydieles and Yvangier to get to Jita for the rest of my raws... this was in early 2006, before Deven's back door to Black Rise was constructed. At three months (2005) I was even crazier - I'd earned my first medium tower (they were cheaper then), and was doing phenolic composites on the medium, using coupling arrays for the inputs and outputs, which meant I needed to visit it every three hours to clear the output before I lost product. That was grueling! I'd shut it down at night. Thankfully I earned enough that month to get my Large.

And also I'd run out to ORE country to pick up Tracking Arrays to sell in Jita. I never lost one, but I lost a couple of cheap haulers on the way in to pick them up.

Good times!
