Well, I'm currently losing Maels in Hak at the rate of about 1 a week. I'm clearly not ready for a Mach lol.

Maels move at maybe half the speed/align time as a mach =_=, not really comparable in gtfo ability.

On the flipside, Maelstroms dont die. Well they shouldnt unless you fit them poorly or forget to actually use your shield booster. If I had to guess at why you die, I would say poor trigger management and equally bad drone skills. This is the only thing I can think of that would place you in any danger. This is even asuming you dont know the basics of lowering transversal and staying aligned.
Either that or you have no idea how to fit the ship, which is realistically the most likely senario despite the fact that there are plenty of people able to help you with that. If I recall correctly, the last person I gave maelstrom fitting advice to decided to not use it at all. He promptly died in a fire to poor trigger management when the beginner fit I attempted to get him to use wouldve saved him easily due to its massive tank.

Would it be a problem if the rigs are in Jita or hak(your choice), I saw the prices in rens and compared to those in Jita they were kinda shitty so I thought about shipping them to jita with my salvage.

I warped in, realized that I shouldn't have been there (I wanted to warp at 100 but I landed right in the middle of them), turned on my invulns, my booster, aligned and tried to warp, and failed. If I had a few million more skill points and better equipment, like thermo and better engineering skills + some tech 2 stuff I'm missing, I might have been fine, but, alas, I don't. Although, I am going to get those skills before I step into a mach.
Normally I would have used a 2nd boost amplifier instead of the mwd for the mission I died in, but I was just in a different mission where I needed the mwd (The score), and didn't swap it out. It wasn't my mission that I lost it in this time, I was just going to go in at 100, get aggro, and keep it for a minute while Zenith finished the mission, since he whelped his drake in it a few minutes earlier. The 2nd boost amplifier might have helped, but I died before I could even align out, so I might have had 2 boost cycles in total, so I don't think that it would have saved me.
Bad drone skills and a bad fit were responsible for the death of my first mael though (although, to be fair, my fit wasn't that bad, the main change I had to make was changing one of my rigs). I wanted to get T2 drones before stepping into my mael, but I got impatient and did it in the opposite order, and promptly lost my mael after 5 or 6 missions lol.

Terrible rig choics and lack of specific resist hardeners killed you. 3 Safegaurds, 2 anti EM fields and an Anti therm field would have brought your resists well to the point of being able to tank that mission with ease. Landing on 0 with everything in an autocannon mael is actually ideal for you. Never fit an MWD unless you know youll need it. The MWD screws over your total cap, wasting a midslot and keeping you from pulsing your booster at 30% cap with any amount of efficiency.
Your terrible fit is to blame for your death, not your lack of skills. And yes, the fit was that bad. Never fit resist rigs to a pve mael, use specific hardners, never use a prop mod if your new unless the mission basically requires it (the score) and even then use an afterburner so you can still maintain a decent amount of capacitor. Ideally you want to get to a point where you know what your doing and dont need the cap booster. Cap maintenance and trranversal are what you need to learn, also how to properly fit your ship.
3 mission specific hardeners, 1 shield booster, 1 shield boost amp and 1 cap booster is all you need in your mids. For the score drop a hardner for an afterburner. Specific hardners will do far more than invulns and resist rigs.

So, I saw this "amazing" account and we played the 'value that toon' game. We concluded 14b was about right given how much wasted skill points it had but I fancied it so I convoed him to test the waters. His topic was called "must sell tonight" so I figured I could get it for about 14, maybe even less. Just to clear things up, this account is worth 14b, that's a correct valuation, the owner is just retarded.
Anyway, round one + Show Spoiler +[ 2012.01.22 20:20:11 ] X ATM092 > hi [ 2012.01.22 20:20:16 ] X ATM092 > have you sold your account yet?

Okay, clearly he's retarded. 66m skillpoints do not a high value account make, especially when all it has to it's name are "high corp standings" and "perfect shield compensations". However, undeterred I made the following post on the forums
Capiru Jonez said: Posted: 2012.01.22 20:24 | 14b b/o
However he replied
Beepus said: : 2012.01.22 20:29 | Like *sigh*
Guess I'll just have to hang on longer...
I have come down 1.5b so far, sorry 14b is too low
Despite the op of his topic clearly stating
Starting Bid: 12b Reserve: 14b B/O: 17b
I replied
Capiru Jonez said:2012.01.22 20:31 | Yet you yourself claim 14b is your reserve in your op. You're wasting my time clearly.
to which he retorted
Beepus said:Posted: 2012.01.22 20:41 | Like WOW!
I'm gonna be atatcked because I don't wanna give my toon away for free ?
LOL!!
Yes, clearly because I offered the stated reserve price when the topic name says "must sell tonight" I want you to give it away. Anyway, now it was on.

Round 4
Kris Arji said: 2012.01.22 20:49 | These shield skills are where skill points go to die. The compensation skills don't do anything to active hardeners and nobody uses passive hardeners because even with all compensations at V actives are still better. Tactical shield manipulation V is a massive waste of skill points, you actually want that one to be lower in order to increase armour bleed and hold your shield % up so you get more regen. One skill away from t2 siege is another way of saying you have the skill at IV, another way of saying that same thing is "20% of the way towards t2 siege", not quite so impressive that way but whatever. Advertising corp standings as amazing standings is somewhat underwhelming, especially since the highest of these is caldari navy. Admittedly someone who greatly desires cn standings may have a use for your mining skillpoints and your ability to fly hulks but most people don't.
All in all, 16b, highest I can go.
A 16b offer coming out of the blue after saying why the account is shit with no other accounts to outbid. Seems legit.
Beepus said:2012.01.22 20:55 | 16b accepted. Online NOW!
So, that should be that. However Kris Arji wasn't online and a new contender entered the fray.
Architect Tokila said:2012.01.22 21:01 | Is this account still available?

ROUND FIVE!
A dramabomb hits the forums. It seems that Kris was pissed off about the betrayal and posted on the forums about it. At first Beepus was hostile in response, assuming he was about to get 17b, but once that deal fell through he went back and started editing posts.
Beepus said: 2012.01.22 21:14 | Edited by: Beepus
if you had bothered to stay on for 10 more seconds... you would have seen me telkl you that I accept your offer as I said yes to you 1st!
Transfer the isk and account details and I will start the transfer ASAP
Kris Arji said:2012.01.22 21:20 | You know what, you can keep it. You devalued the name somewhat with this stunt. You've been editing your posts to make it look like you didn't pull some seriously lame **** here but you accepted an offer, closed the bidding, then reopened it, then closed it again, then reopened it again, and you want me to bid for a third time?
Beepus said:2012.01.22 21:23 | Edited by: Beepus The forum Rules state that I have the right to accept or refuse an offer up to the point where the trabsaction starts.
You placed and offer and I accpeted., few seconds later some1 else offered a better offer. I told the 1st guy no to take THE BETTER OFFER, 2nd guy tell me he doesn't have the isk so as I was about to tell buyer 1 I'll take his offer he EMO RAGE QUIT ??

I'm selling a toon to the hiughest bidder... if that's wrong FINE!! No, you told me you accepted my bid on the forums and then you got a better offer before I sent the isk. I asked you in game in a conversation with you if you were going to accept my bid anyway, pointing out you had already said you accepted it on the forums and again you said yes. I was about to send the isk, after we'd already discussed the better offer and you'd said you were still going to accept mine, when you changed your mind. Really, really weak move.
Beepus said:Posted: 2012.01.22 21:50 | Edited by: Beepus If you don't like people making offers higher than yours I suggest you match offers.
I'm available for sale. If you want to troll my thread with your tears let me know and I'll ask CCP to remove them.
I'm selling a toon... this is not a charity. Highest offer will get he toon.
However, the story of Kris and Beepus isn't over. He sent the following mail
Character Sale From: Beepus To: Kris Arji I tell you what....
I'll apologise for trying to get the highest bid and offer the toon to you for 15b.
Is that a token of trying to make it right? But it was too late, Kris did not reply.

The compensation skills don't do anything to active hardeners and nobody uses passive hardeners because even with all compensations at V actives are still better. Tactical shield manipulation V is a massive waste of skill points, you actually want that one to be lower in order to increase armour bleed and hold your shield % up so you get more regen. One skill away from t2 siege is another way of saying you have the skill at IV, another way of saying that same thing is "20% of the way towards t2 siege", not quite so impressive that way but whatever. Advertising corp standings as amazing standings is somewhat underwhelming, especially since the highest of these is caldari navy. Admittedly someone who greatly desires cn standings may have a use for your mining skillpoints and your ability to fly hulks but most people don't.
All in all, 16b, highest I can go. A 16b offer coming out of the blue after saying why the account is shit with no other accounts to outbid. Seems legit. So, that should be that.

I'm selling a toon to the hiughest bidder... if that's wrong FINE!! No, you told me you accepted my bid on the forums and then you got a better offer before I sent the isk. I asked you in game in a conversation with you if you were going to accept my bid anyway, pointing out you had already said you accepted it on the forums and again you said yes.
