We attacked a 20 man fleet worth around 6 billion with a few bcs, rifters and the help of some local pirates. Lured a vaga + cynabal towards me with a drake and then threw some "hatchery rifters" at them. They undocked their blob including 2 machariels and 3 scimitars and warped to the fight. We downed the vaga, burned off, isolated them, had half of the gang warp out while burning at near 3k. Their cynabal tried to give chase but peeled off back to the scimitars as it got out of range and left the issue of pointing me to an ares. The fleet warped back to me at range and gunned down the ares before doing a complete gtfo. Total kills 200m, losses, .5m against a bigger gang with so much RR there was no hope of killing anything. Hatchery rifters ftw.

I'm not completely new to the game but the last time I played it (a few years ago) I had no time to play it properly. Just started a trial a couple days ago and have to say I'm pleased by the removal of learning skills. I like the idea of pvp-ing around a bit in a support ship (rifter early on i guess) and missioning, but is that even possible where you guys play?

Yep! We have moved models now from
Mentor gives 250m - salvage

TO

Mentor gives money + a fuckton of PVP experience

There's also a Republic Fleet mission system 3 jumps away, so if you're a carebear coming out of Emol you still have somewhere to run missions.

Yep I enjoy flying one. Only problem are gate/station guns. Which mean, that sometimes I only can watchstuff happening.
Still need more exp, though. So that our fcs don't need to micromanage me that much.

Also considering to go for probing covops and inties, some time in the distant and cold future.

Sorry to hear that, I'd be happy to relieve you of those rifters though.

I believe I trusted Thornton with 134 isk. And than he removed my contract corp from his bio description so I got scammed

Day 3 of my little experiment has finally come to a close. I went back to the hisec island systems from yesterday and found them to have very few radars, but many wormholes and combat sigs such as lookouts, watchs, and vigils. It took me a couple hours of trying to figure out wether or not to speed twards a vexor (cruiser) to run the sites but then I realized trial accounts cant use contracts so I would be unable to sell any of the loot at the end.

Later I had a nice conversation with Glass Naskingar who has apperently decided to take up running radars as a source of quick isk. I continue to wish him the best of luck and if he does end up scaring away any radar sites I hope he scares them my way. Today hasnt been as profitable for me as I was hoping.

Current isk in wallet: 175mil
Current SP: 161,441
Astrometric Rangefinding 3 will finish in 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Oh and yes I will probably make some sort of probing guide but Im going to finish this little experiment first before I sit down and write anything in depth.

For those who care, in the last ten days we have exceeded the kills of the entire of the last month. Given that last month was our biggest month ever at 50% more than the next biggest month this is a fairly impressive total.

@ Abom: I wasnt talking about a how-to-probe guide at all. I was talking about a guide that would help take someone only a few days to plex using only a t1 probing frig. Something that would cover generally common and not so common probing routes, constellation farming, hisec islands, and the different expected average profits per site based off of the region of space being probed.

As far as I can tell, there is currently no such guide. Feel free to correct me if you happen to find one though, Id be happy to not have to do any additional work.

@Kwark: That is an impressive total. Although to be honest what do you expect when you stop carebearing and move to lowsec with the intention of killing everything?

@ Vov ah that would be nice and original i saw probing guide and i thought why? It'll definitely be nice since most people don't like to share that sort of thing. Just finished dragon age 2 so ill probly start playing more now.
