Been in Corp for two weeks now, haven't gotten to play much lately though. I have gotten some mining done but I've too scared to do it most days. We had a lot of hostile action in our system. I really need to get some better tanking and drone skills on my miner. I had no implants on my guy in null sec so I decided to drive my clone with implants out there. I made the forty jumps, with one close call with a guy trying to bubble me but got out of there. I make it into the system after about an hour's worth of work and decide to go ratting for a little while. Hostile comes into system and gets me right away, destroying my implants. All that work and I got blown up a few minutes after arriving in the system. Ridiculous. But I guess that's just how it goes. That was the only ship I had in the system so I had to wait until my other two ships got carted down. I like flying the Harbinger better than the Apocalypse, which I just got down there last night. Faster, deals better damage for now and not as bad if I lose it. I think I'm starting to get used to Null Sec but I'm still nervous whenever I see a neut enter the system. I had done a fair amount of ratting in our home system, never venturing to the better system for fear of death and because of the traffic that system gets. I want to try to get in game this week and grind up that isk. My goal may be to grind up enough isk to buy another character. All I think about is other characters to fill roles I would like to try instead of waiting the time it would take to get my character up to that point. Training plans:

Hull Upgrades 5
EM Armor Comp 4
Thermic Armor Comp 4
Weapon Upgrades 5
Assault Ships 4
Heavy Assault Ships 3

Going to get the main HAC capable after I can use those the type 2 hardeners and boost my resists. I don't see myself doing the HACS in the very near future but I can see how useful the type 2 hardeners and more resistances will be. I would like to be able to use the Zealot, as it seems capable and popular in PVP fleets. I've also been considering the stealth bomber route and have plenty of missile skillbooks but I don't know if I want to devote the time to that right now. If I do, I can always cross train into Caldari but that's a long away from important skills. As for the miner I'll finish out:

Refining Efficiency (tonight)
Metallurgy 4
Bistot Processing 3
Arkonor Processing 3
Cronkite Processing 3

Get this guy up to using the crystals for these types of ore. After this, I don't know where I'll take him. Possibly Gallente Industrial to 5 which takes 20 days and get him into freighters or maybe PI skills. We'll see.
