I know to you vets this is not a big deal but to a new player with 2.5m SP. This is a big deal.

So last night I decided to get brave and leave high sec for null, just to explorer and take a look around.

I got myself into a -0.1 system that was empty. Warpped to the first Belt and found 4 rats.
2 Rats with 80,000 ISK bounties
1 Rat with 500,000 ISK bounty
1 Rat with 1,100,00o ISK bounty

I killed them all, my first ever milliom ISK bounty. I was flying my Drake with all T1 fittings (working on T2 fittings now).

What a fun night, it was so much fun and a little nerve racking as they did good damage too me.
What a rush, I cannot wait to try PVP now, I know the rush will be even bigger. Loving EvE so far.

Just remember, don't fly anything you can't afford to lose, especially in low/null sec space

Congrats. I still remember the one time I took my T1 fit Rifter out to lowsec and managed to kill a 500k bounty BS in a belt. It took probably 30 min of me hammering away at the darn thing, but I eventually managed to kill it. I remember how awesome that was, lol. Sometimes the best moments are the simplest ones.

Awesome, I still have to do a run down and probably be run down in null.

Don't you have a corp mate with a Rorqual?

It's funny, new players want to have 70 billion SP and fly bigs ships and all that, old players would give everything to be newbie again, the game being new and amazing and awesome :P

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Hah! I personally have no desire for a big pool of SP, all I want is the ability to fly and T2-fit a Jaguar and start a few fights.
Honestly, I have no idea where to go from there, but im aiming to be inspired by experiences whilst flying said jaguar and probably getting killed a few times ;)
