So, The character is 6 days old and today is officially Day ONE for combat. I still have crap skills. Gunnery skills still at L1, Med projectile at L1 etc., but I was so bored I couldn't stand it any longer and undocked.
Score for 3 hours of pirating this evening: 6 kills, 0 deaths. 4 cruisers, each 1v1, and 2 frigs at the same time. Frigs were both Rifters, which I warped into a belt and they were 90km out, they just having killed someone, one was flashing red.
I sat there and let them fly the whole 90km to me, and once they got within 3000m, webbed/scrammed/nossed them while opening up with my ACs. They got me to 1/2 shields before the second one died.
Other kills: 1 Thorax, 1 Moa, 1 Caracal, 1 Execuror, all combat fitted (no miners). Youngest was 1 month, oldest enemy char was 8 months. Not having -7.5 sec sure makes it easier to get close to people ;)
More details later.

So, attacking a Domi with a Rupture and a 6 day old character is a nono :)
I actually had him into structure when he killed me. He wasn't set up too well obviously, and wasn't that higly skilled, but neither was I. Yes, it was a big bite to take, but wtf, it was worth it :)
Total ISK into trial so far: 28m. Haven't sold any of the loot yet, but I'm really liking 4x 220mm ACs and 2x Med Nos. with the standard ab/web/scram mids and a healthy armor tank in the lows.
Anyone have any suggestions on my setup? Or comments on how to improve? (besides going suicidal on a BS)

How many more trials are you going to do this with?

I noticed with a trial you can't transfer money over to your main character.
but, could you buy equipment and ships with the money from a trial account then place it on escrow for a main character to pick up?

That would be classified as Account farming and im sure CCP would frown on that.

If you are really successful in a given area, sometimes targets thin out fast. Good luck in sustaining your pace.

a) Not true
b) Nobody cares
c) Where are you even trying to say your money came from if you haven't sold the loot?

You can't give money, and you can't escrow anything with a trial account. I simply spend the money to play with new ships and new ideas.
As for how many trial accounts? I don't know. When I run out of ideas for setups?
As for where I'm hunting and finding all thise action: all you PIRATES OUT THERE, go to DECON and SHARUVEIL. It's ridiculous. dozens of people go through there every day. Lots and lots of targets. Everything from experienced players to noobs.
Every once in a while someone has a well set up ship. Most others are poorly equipped, but they give up loot just as good as anything. Lots of miners, lots of NPCers. So, come one and all :) Let the fun commence!

Oh, and to *clarify*, I've SPENT 28m LOL. Not made 28m. Ruptures I'm finding are kinda expensive to run compared to the Vexor. On top of all of this, I spent like an easy 4m just on skills, and all my skills are L1/2 at best, except for a few like electronics/engineering where I needed 3 so I could train other skills for modules.

Lately, (last 2 days) it's been really slow. But on the other hand, I'm being much more selective about my targets. Generally speaking I'm limiting myself to Cruisers and larger, and then only to more challenging targets with older pilots and better setups (i.e. no miners).
So my amount of targets has dwindled quite a bit. I'm considering finding some new stomping grounds :) if only for a better challenge.
I went to 0.0 for a while. Killed another couple cruisers (Maller, Omen), but 0.0 is extremely sparse where I went. I need to find more activity.

Go to little "Bubbles" of lowsec where its 2 or 3 .4s or .3s in amidst a bunch of .7s and .8s, Tons of carebears there :D (2 caracal kills in half an ahour in the same system) the only danger is getting trapt in when your sec gets low :(

So I was just shot down by Farjung. :) Nicely done Farjung.
How it went down: (from my side at least)
I saw him in local, said hi, saw that he had an incursus, figured I'd leave him alone and wait for a cruiser.
Vexor shows up, so I warp out to engage. Things are going great with the Vexor. Have it down to structure, I'm at 90% armor and repping, about 75% cap. Then the Vexor warps out. Strange I thought. Why did he wait so long? Irritated, I began trying to wrangle my drones as the Vexor's drones continued to kill my armor. Repping, waiting, stupid drones... Armor still being shredded, waitng for my drones still...
Farjung warps in at about 15km, engages me and begins to scram at 15km. I'm about 50% armor now, and almost no cap. I try to warp of course, no dice as I never fit stabs. The Vexor drones continue to pummel my armor (!!!) long after it's gone. 4 Hammerheads hurt. My armor is dying, my cap is almost gone. Farjung is neatly out of web/nos range. I have no cap for AB. Repper is dying. He starts hitting me with his T2 125mm rails.
I send my drones at him, trying to wear him down. 3 feeble Hammerheads with no drone skills. He tanks the damage easily. I held on tenaciously, but knew it was inevitable. He finally pops one of my drones, as I think they were biting him a little too much for his taste, then goes back to work on me.
Sends in his own drone and finishes my Rupture off. At this point I begin to think that I've been had :) Baited and taken down with a ship specifically designed to kill my setup. It sure is starting to look that way. Finally someone to keep my on my toes.
Anyway, like I said at the beginning, nicely done. I look forward to meeting Farjung in the future. Care to add your side of things to the thread Farjung? Any comments would be appreciated.
P.S.
Farjung did in 30 minutes what Fatalix Corp. et. al. Hasn't accomplished in 4 weeks.

That's pretty much how it went down. I was bored this morning and near to Decon, so I fit out an incursus to counter your setup and wandered along. Spent a little while in the belts to see if you'd go for me with no luck, so I docked and went afk for a bit. I came back to see you had undocked, so I did the same and scanned you at the top belt with a vexor, so I decided to interrupt ;p.
Was a good fight, I had to use two cap mods to sustain guns + disruptor + afterburner, so I wasn't able to web your drones to kill them, and in the mean time they did a fair bit of damage.

Additional info: he was using T2 Spike ammo with his T2 rails and using a T2 Light drone (Hobgoblin). Ouchies.

I also tried this with a trial character.
As an experiment to see if I could succesfully pirate in a rupture with under 2 weeks of training. It just didn't really work.
It was just a waste of money, and time. Especially as I started to pirate with my main a few days later 
also, I think you can transfer money back to your main, someone mentioned you couldn't. I'm pretty sure I did though just before the trial ran out..

They recently changed the rules for RMR with respect to transferring money and escrows. Can't do either anymore with trial accounts. You can *get* money, just not give it back.
And yes, while I'm liking the Rupture, it's just not as effective as other setups with the same time/skill limits imposed by the trial.

Total cost of a new Rupture, taking into account that the original was insured: slightly over 10m, using 2nd best named guns, named AB, repper and web. Generic scram, nos and resists.
IMO big bucks compared to a Vexor setup. Especially considering the given effectiveness of the setup compared to the Vexor, with a comparable amount of skillpoints.

Know what? He killed me fair and square. Yeah, I was weak and getting hammered to hell by those drones of the other players, but the other player was just a random player, not someone in collusion with him.
He picked his time to strike, got a little lucky in some respects, but killed me just the same.
IMO Ginger, you don't show very much class with your comment.
