Let’s see. Since the last time I took stock, what have I done?
I’ve started a new skill training program, getting all my rank 1 learning skills to V. I’ve finished Learning V already and Instant Recall should complete tomorrow sometime. The +5 memory and intelligence implants I bought the other day help quite a bit. Which reminds me: my first trip to the Traders Mecca, Jita, saved me a substantial amount of ISK. I don’t know that I would really try to sell a lot there, myself: fast turnover but razor-thin margins. That doesn’t fit my style that much.
I’ve spent a good bit of time out in Syndicate. Clown Punchers Syndicate had seven pilots sitting together with me in Poitot 5-14 Intaki Syndicate Bureau. Evidently, they really enjoyed my company and didn’t want me to leave. I offered them coffee, but they lacked the social skills to appreciate the offer. This actually didn’t present much of a problem: a CEO and trader can do her work from just about anyplace.
In fact, I’ve started making financing arrangements with the Intaki Bank. Once I’ve done enough for them, they’ll come around on me for sure. But more on that tomorrow, along with some other corporate-type announcements.
I’ve learned a few lessons out in null-sec:
- Don’t panic in a bubble, especially if you have a cloak. Keep it together and look at the situation calmly. Your chances of getting out safely will improve.
- You have nothing approaching a guarantee at any rate.
- Don’t get lazy and start treating it like low-sec. That way lies disaster.
- Get jump clones or don’t use implants.
- Markets work differently out here. I don’t have them figured out just yet, but I’ll get the secret to the ISK sooner or later.
I picked up a Fenrir the other day, as well. I love this ship already. Not only does she have the tremendous cargo capacity typical of her class, she feels far more niimble than the Orca. That warp speed does get a little tiring but it doesn’t really hurt too badly.
