Not had a lot of time to play this week.....Managed to grab 3 hours today as finished work early......

Done some missions and a bit of grinding in my asp.....Then took it back to Hors to try and get rid of this fooking permit that keeps appearing even though I have had it for months.....

Anyway it's still showing even in Hors.....Just done a few shit missions......Popped into 3 USS's on my way to another station and made about 100,000....Will stay around here and see what happens.....Might even sell my cobra for some cash to upgrade the Asp....Seeing as the cobra is sorta redundant now......

Who knows...............

Just landed in Shinrarta Dezhra (I still have no idea how I got the permit, probably a bug), will spec up my T6 and fly off to distant stars to do some exploration. My first target will be Barnard's Loop and after that... We'll see.

Bummer. Lost some 300+K worth of bounties. I was already thinking about getting out and cashing them in but saw this 'Conda getting a beating and the greedy bastard in me said let's jump in and collect this one too before heading out. Things got a bit heated as it seemed to single me out eventhough the whole system sec was on him. Had to even flee once to charge my shields. At some point I was charging towards him at full speed and before I realised it, he was coming at me at full speed as well. Needless to say how that ended :P

Scooping fuel is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. First check the target is hot enough,
then approach slowly. Once close enough, pull out your scoop and fill her up. After you're done just
gently pull away, turn around and leave.

Was flying around in a RES - wondering why every ship was making a beeline for me - then noticed I still had 200 odd tons of Gold onboard :)

I made it to Python! I'm now going to spend some time trading to fund the parts needed.

I do feel a little guilty that I gave up the Clipper in the same hour that I was made a Count by the Empire.

And yes, I did spell that right Kharma. ;)

RES farming on a Vulture I acquired and outfitted yesterday. No idea what ship I should go for next though. I'm thinking of trying out the ASP before going on to bigger ships like the Python and Anaconda.

Continuing to trade in the Shinrarta Dezhra area, have got my cash up over a million again. Might actually swap to a more combat-focused layout at some point and give that a go. Maybe. I'm just rather worried that I'll be shit at it and get my arse handed to me on a plate the moment I go and seek out some random pirate or whatever ;).
In other news, had a nice conversation today about games and stuff with a random guy in an Anaconda (name began with K, I think, but can't remember what it was) I saw flying into Jameson Memorial ahead of me earlier this evening - that's another one added to my friends list :).

Managed to get my rank up in the Empire and now gunning around RES sites to build up my funds to finally buy the Clipper :evil:

Approach/practice method I've found working, since I'm no battle hardened combat veteran, is to seek out targets at an RES that are about to or already engaged in a fight. That way I won't be getting all the attention. Especially if the ship is significantly bigger than my Viper. Then again, 'Condas and the likes sometimes feel easier since they are so cumbersome.
Other "tactic" I sometimes use is waiting 'til the AI has taken down the target's shields before going in. Taking out shields from a fast moving ship can be a real chore with my puny fixed pulse type lasers so I just let the System Sec do that for me before unleashing my gimballed multi-cannons.
