Today is the day I bought a shiny new cruiser - if only it had been under better circumstances
Yesterday's low sec run was so prolific I tried again today. I've gotta say, it wasn't so successful. There were a combination of factors to this lack of success. Firstly I was tired, secondly I wasn't in a great mood (possibly related to point one) and lastly, I got blown up by another bloody POS defence system -.-
I mean, you would've thought I'd learnt from the last time. Obviously not. I'd already hit several sites and was carrying 40 million in cargo so I was kind of pissed off that I'd done it again. I bookmarked the location of my wreck though and searched the market for a ship I could fly in nearby system that wasn't obviously price gouged. I ended up buying a Maller in the same system for 12 million so picked it up, warped to my wreck, took the 18 million that dropped and got out of there before I could start getting shot at. From now on I'm going to avoid using moons as my safe spots while scanning, too much risk of becoming target practice.
Next I flew over to Amarr to buy and fit Imicus mark 3. Hopefully I won't lose this one. I din't bother selling the loot yet as I wanted to go and finish the SOE epic arc now that I had a cruiser. I fitted it out and flew in the direction of Arnon. Mission accomplished for Chasing Shadows. Dagan on the other hand was a bit more problematic. My dps wasn't good enough to take him down but then again he couldn't get through my shields either... and I have an armour tank. Luckily for me I got some help from a guy in the Eve Uni chat channel. I apologise for not remembering his name but it wasn't Heo (who has a thing for killing Dagan.) I'd highly recommend joining the E-uni chat channel, it's friendly and there's plenty of people from all areas of the game so a great place to ask any question you might have. There's also much less trolling that in rookie chat which is also a nice bonus.
Epic arc completed, I delivered Dagan to the Minmatar official as my standings with them had tanked since doing missions for Amarr and I like having the option of selling in Rens and Hek. After that did a few combat sites in the Maller just to get a feel for it. It's an awesome tank but a little too slow for ratting and missions. I'll probably keep it for the time being though, it looks awesome and tanking is kinda fun.
It was very much a "break even" kind of day. I did come out ahead with 30 million sat in Amarr waiting to be sold but with fitting the Maller and doing mostly combat related stuff after the loss of the Imicus, my wallet was pretty much where I'd started at the beginning of the day.
