Anyone will hunt anything if the opportunity arises and they are bored enough.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Capsuleers are instinctually combative and suspicious. While you may only see a yourself as a guppie, they might see you as a forward scout or intentional bait. The best thing in New Eden is to shoot first and ask questions to the debris.
There are also just a fair amount of bloodthirsty pilots out there that would be glad to shoot anything large or small. I advise caution and a healthy dose of self doubt when it comes to combat. A fight you warp off from, is a fight won, unless there is a strategic objective.

Some call me insane. If the universe is sane, then I embrace that label.

On the other hand, you could always pilot an ibis into some random staging system and light a cyno 100K off a station when a fleet undocks to see who panics. That's always a fun game....

It's a game beaten only buy repeating the same trick 4 times to the same station and having a friendly corp warp in 3 carriers and a dreadnought when they get complacent on the 4th time. Lol

So wish i'd taken a screen shot of local when one of the pilots should really have been chatting in their corp/fleet window..RollBlinkRoll.......

Stardate: 7.7.2016.118
Region: Essene
Entry: Cruisers

So I’ve run a few of the Serpentis sites in a a purpose build Algos and while doable, it’s still quite slow. So, I trained for cruisers and planned out my next ship: a Vexor site sweeper. After insurance it should be about 16M which is fine. I still am planning to go the T2-Frigate route for FW but this is for the interim.

For the first time, I noted every can that I looted of ore yesterday: 18 runs at a total worth of 131M in ore. The lead miner chatted again with me yesterday and I suggested that he stop making it so easy by changing his naming convention and by not leaving so many out. I counted 21 cans at one point…

Any how…should be an interesting day!

If you're making a mission runner out of it, make it a Vexor Navy issue. More expensive, but better overall stats and the same requirements. Just keep it away from lowsec and areas frequently visited by opposing militia forces.

No not for missions...just site clearing. Cheap high DPS is really all I was looking for.

Make it a rail fit and keep it cap stable using a permanent AB and most Serpantis can't catch you.

Just keep an eye out on your drones. Recently the Serpantis seem to favour popping them, at least for me they do. And the angel's enjoy going straight for your drones.....

Entry: Cruisers Part II

Went to Dodixie to buy and build a Vexor and put together a ship that I thought would do the job. I hightailed it back to my system and of course, on the way there ran into a gate camp. Lost the ship before it even fired a shot…Went back to Dodixe, built the same ship again and then made it home after looking ahead.

Spent the day running sites and also building a dedicated salvage destroyer for all that dead ship the cruiser produces. Also invested in some MTUs to expedite site salvage. I like this routine: Run 4 sites dropping a MTU at each then returning to base to get the destroyer. On average it seems to add about 2M to the run but once I found a 21M ISK implant. That was nice.
Going to try the same routine in LowSec today I think.

Bang-on. Those little Angel frigates are tough buggers and do really like to eat drones....

Entry: Homecoming

Something has been knowing on my for the last few days and overnight, I made a decision. Fulltime capsuleer-life isn’t for me. Well, to be clear, not in the way I set out to be. I wanted combat and action but quickly fell into the trap of planning too far ahead. Mining, transport, manufacturing; all things that I’m now/was training for which, while great in the long run, defeats the whole point of why I’m here in the first place.

So, I’m returning home soon and semi-retiring from my life in space. I will maintain my Miasmos and Kryos as quite frankly, the ISK is just too good to ignore. As for everything else, I’ve already started the liquidation process of all my ships and assets.

Now that I’ve paired down my asset list, I have a better idea of my current estimated net worth. As it stands now, I’m worth 1.326B ISK. Not bad for 7 weeks of work!

So I’m not sure when I’ll be home but it will be soon. Looking forward to a home cooked meal…

I'd call that a successful career. Thanks for the write-ups! Enjoy your semi-retirement and I'll look for you on the beaches. It may not last too long, I hear that once you've been in space for awhile the lure stays pretty strong. Happy trails!
