Original thread here: http://forums.themittani.com/index.php/topic/213-nullsec-newbie-from-zero-to-hero/

Greetings capsuleers, I am Nullsec Newbie and yes, I am a trial account alt. My goals are simple, I want to get my ass out in Null as soon possible and be able to sustain myself financially to include PLEXing my account before my trial ends. I will in no way be using my main or any outside help. Just knowledge I've picked up which isn't much considering I've never done anything significant in Null besides some small gang PvP. I'd post this on the EvE forums but apparently trial accounts aren't allowed to post which will be one of many trial account restrictions that will slow me down a bit on my journey from day 1 zero to null sec hero.

Creation Days 1 and 2
I've always hated Amarr. Every Amarr male looks like an old geezer and noone likes a religious nut so for this project I chose Amarr as my starting race. I knew I only had 21 days so right off the bad I decided to stick to lasers, armor, and amarr ships only. No cross training or at least keep it to a minimum. After about 10 minutes Nullsec Newbie was born.

5000 isk or so and a pod. Well this should be good. Right away I train frig 3 and start the tutorials. Aura eventually led me to Deepari and from there I did most of the career agent missions. After it was all said and done and a few trips to Amarr to sell the extra ships I had about 9 million ISK. It would have been 5 but someone in Amarr donated the rest to me after I was talking smack in local. I queued up my skills and logged not knowing exactly what i was going to do to earn 700 mil ISK.

Edit: Oh I took my first death in Day 2 as well. I was jumping around lowsec when I ran into 2 people fighting on the gate. The killboard whore in me tried to get in on some killmails but got insta popped the moment I locked one of the attackers :)

Skill Training and AFK - Days 3 and 4
More skills training and BSIng in local. These couple of days I did alot of "diplo" trying to get out to nullsec. ZERO corps were interested in a trial account. I actually have a lot to say about this and the current state of EvE for new players but that will be an entirely different thread as I have ALOT to say. By day 4 I was just kinda looking at my skill queue and messin around in space. I downloaded an ovewview pack and tweaked it just a little. It looks so perty! I was considering doing the EvE Sister Epic Arc but at this point I was going to scrap this project and biomass. Didn't plan on a day 5.

Man the **** Up - Day 5
I logged in to queue up some more skills despite not wanting to play. Tried even harder to get into a Null Sec corporation, even the Providence guys didn't me. At this point I figured I'd just roll out to Null and see what happens. I also decided the only possibly way to earn any kind of ISK would be through exploration (which I was training for thankfully.) I fitted a Magnate and set off to lowsec to try my hand at some data and relic sites. Here was my fit.

I can't remember the specifics of my first couple of sites but I think I made about 5 mil in loot. I returned to Amarr to sell then went back out again. After a few more sites and 10 mil in loot I thought it might be a good idea to sell again so I headed back. Everything would have been fine had there not been a giant ******* smart bomb waiting for me :)

btw I have his killrights available for 20 mil :) GF friend!

At this point I wanted to try Null. I set destination to the middle providence and set off however one the way I decided to do a few sites in lowsec a few more times. I did a few sites and see about 10 mil in loot in cargo which was nice but then I noticed a faction bpc. It was a Sansha Control Tower Small BPC and according to several contracts it was worth 80 mil! I couldn't believe it.. I ran straight to Amarr praying to the Amarrian God's I wouldn't get smart bombs.

When I made it I soon realized I couldnt sell the damn thing through contract. After a few people in local tried to scam me, I figured I'd leave it there. I tried joining the BP channel and offering to sell it there but trial accounts cant speak int he BP trading channel (lame) so I asked somoene in the channel to auction it for me once. It took about 20 min but I got a hit and ended up selling it to someone for 70 mil via station trade in Amarr. Thanks pal!

I was now at 90 something mil and about to log but my lust for ISK drove me further down the lowsec pipe until finally reaching Providence. In every system I visited I advertised myself as looking for a corp and highly active but everyone just ignored me or laughed. There is something seriously wrong here and again I won't go too much into it but seriously attitudes need to change towards new players if you ever want them to leave highsec.

Nullsec sites arent as easy as lowsec/highsec ones, thats for damn sure. I blew up more than half of them. I am just glad I do not have a cargo scanner because if I knew I was blowing up 100 mil BPCS I'd cry. Anyways Nullsec was pretty uneventful while exploring. I did about 3 sites in Null (about 6 cans), the rest were blown to pieces. The loot was not bad though. After it was all said and done I made about 60 mil. Here is a SS of the last site I ran.

i actually did one more can after that SS so thats why it only says 50 mil

I love you.
