Finally joined a Corp

I got my Apocalypse all fit perfectly, went out to do some Level four missions and was immediately attacked by pirates. This happened on Thursday Night and I survived and would've killed a Hurricane but got nervous because it was my first time flying the Apoc. Go out the next night and get tackled during mission, killed by three ships. Should've been smarter because there was a frigate hovering around me and now I know how to react against these jerks. I should've just warped out when I had the chance. I don't know what I was expecting the idiot to do so I deserved to lose that ship because of my ignorance. So I applied to a 0.0 corporation and was approved after a few days. I have my ships in contract, waiting for them to get transferred down there. I jumped cloned the main and flew the miner down there after going 20 jumps in the wrong direction and having to jump 40 jumps through low sec/null sec. I made it though without a problem, hitting one bubble but there was no one in the system and I immediately warped away anyway. I'm bringing a Harbi down there and hopefully that will be enough to survive and rat in. My training queue has been all fucked up lately. Started training Energy Systems, then Navigation, and then moved to Small Pulse Lasers in order to fire the T2 weapons on the Harbinger. I actually hadn't noticed all the rig requirements to fly the T3 ships and the cost was too prohibitive for me at this point. Stealth bombers actually seem like another fun class of ship to fly and I might cross train into that in the next few weeks. Here's the immediate training plan, which seems to change everyday:

Small Pulse Laser 4
Medium Pulse Laser 3
Energy Operation 5
Medium Pulse Laser 4
Armor Comps (Depending on the Pirates/Rats in the system)

After this, I may try to get those missile skills up in order to be able to fly the stealth bomber or train into HACS or gunnery skills. I was even thinking of improving the scanning skills. We'll see what's needed and what I can do.

Even on the miner, I have different things I would like to achieve. I don't know how often I'll get to mine those worthwhile ores so just in case I'm going to get Refining Efficiency up to 5, and then get the ABC ores up to 4 each so I can use their crystals. If that doesn't work out, I may go into the PI route or something else. Everything is up in the air.

Drone Interfacing 3
Refining Efficiency 5

I am really excited to get into Nullsec and the corp seems helpful. Every time I log on I have to join fleet and I'll have plenty of PVP possibilities now, for good and for bad. The whole thing is very interesting and there has been plenty of information to learn over the last few days. I still don't exactly know what's going on but over the next few days I'm sure I'll learn how to live in Nullsec while hopefully making a decent profit. Just kind of nervous learning the ropes and asking questions, don't want to seem like a complete idiot and I hope the Harbi can survive out there. Being part of a group seems pretty interesting anyway and it's a nice change of pace from just mission grinding. If I ever need a break, I can always jump to a clone and grind out a few level 4s or something. Happy and excited about this and we'll see how it all turns out during the next few days/weeks. Definitely a new part of the game that will hopefully keep me interested for a decent amount of time.
