No luck there yet on one that fits my needs. Mining still appeals to me as a way of making ISK so Industry V just has one day left on the timer. Then I'll have a couple other skills i'll need to get to IV to be able to hop in the Procurer.
My current fun in the game has been looting battle wrecks in low sec and null sec for sexy T2 modules worth a ton of ISK(to me as a newb anyway). I've found the threat of getting killed while I try to get to the best wrecks pretty exciting. I've had some good fun evading the dudes that try to kill me (so far so good thank you Warp Stabs) and it's pretty satisfying getting in and out of an area intact and with a cargo bay full of loots. I've been fired on like four times and was able to get away each time though one guy got me down to like 20% hull in what seemed like a single volley before i got out of there.
I bought a T1 Freighter to haul all my crap around and once I got about 100 mill worth of stuff together I decided to make the trip to Jita to see what it would be like and with the hope of selling everything quickly. Again, i found the possibility of danger pretty exciting and wasn't sure if any Jita Gankers would make a go for my ship. I had read that you need to have a cargo hold worth of a least a billion ISK for them to go for ya, not sure if that's the case or not. I made it in and out of Jita without a hitch. Sold everything I brought and with a decent amount of change in the bank, thought ok, I can fly the Vexor now if I feel like it.
As I was heading home from Jita in the freighter, I came across a T2 or T3 Cruiser wreck just sitting their with no one around. I moseyed on over to it at a whopping 150 m/s lol and boom: cha ching! 344 million ISK worth of modules. Awesome. I wasn't about to warp back to Jita with the yellow suspect time going so i docked a jump away and waited it out. Once the timer was clear, nervously jumped back into Jita and docked again with no problem, though as I was docking, a freighter next to me exploded. Eek! Better him than me, I thought. Came away with another 340 million or so. Easy money.
I do still want to get into traditional ship combat PvP and plan on training up my T1 frigate skills I need once the mining stuff is done I've also considered doing my battle wreck looting in my Vexor so if any one does come after me, instead of running I would put up a fight as it's usually just one or two ships that come after me, but I'm not so sure if that's a profitable way to go. But could be fun! As it is now, I'm using a cheaply fitted Imicus for it and it's been working well as it has a decent cargo hold and is small and fast enough and if anyone did catch me slippin', meh. Less than a mill to replace and back at it.
