Been in corporation for about a month and a week. Didn't get to play much during finals week. I have gotten the hang of null sec and feel pretty comfortable. Some of the things that happen are a pain in the ass, like the neuts in the system or the roams that come through. But last night is an example of a perfectly calm night where I got to do some mining for about an hour and a half, whereas yesterday morning I tried to get some done because the belts had just respawned and I couldn't do anything. Mining is fine, if not boring. But if you're doing other things, it's not so bad. I can rat while I mine and then warp to the miner to kill the rats that spawn or as I started last night, I can haul while mining. I inquired about joining the corp pvp fleet and I'm expected to get corp fit ships, which pretty much means minmatar. I don't know if I really like the idea of cross training because of the time involved. We'll see what happens when I get to that point. Right now I'm training up all the prerequisites to fly every small ship type. Just got done training for interceptors, now training Weapon Upgrades to 5 which opens up a few ship types. After that, probably go for Destroyers to 5, Interceptors to 4 to open up Interdictor. I was toying around with the idea of taking the mining guy and training Caldari/Gallente on him and then train Amarr/Minmatar on the main guy. I wouldn't mind two guys to run some of those more difficult anomolies as they show up, because the loot in them can be worth quite a bit.

Starting to run some of the archaelogy sites as they show up. They have the potential to have Capacitor Consoles, which sell for more than 20 million each. The one morning a bunch had spawned in our system and one of the sites gave me 5 of those in one sitting! Some of them don't give any great loot, just salvage. Hit or miss but most times worth trying. Having fun with the game right now, just trying to make a lot of isk and looking into ways to make the money more easily. Right now I'm putting a lot of effort to make the isk I'm making and there are other ways. I think once I get a decent amount of isk stockpiled (2 billion), then I can start doing other things. I still have to try PI, which might happen this week. Here's the training plans:

Weapon Upgrades 5
Interceptors 4
Destroyers 5
Interdictors

Mining Character:

Gallente Industrial 5
