Need Drones...

So, interceptors are an issue. I could always manage them with the Maller by, essentially, webbing them and warping in and out a lot. In the Binger, even if they are webbed, and even if they don't web me, I can't hit them once they are close.

Now, part of the problem may be that I can't run the afterburners and web at the same time. If I could, I could get less transversal and light them up. So rigs could fix that, likely. But the ultimate solution to this problem, per my understanding, is to get my drone skills up.

Just one problem, that'll take a while. Sigh...

Missioning Ship

So, in the time between now and when I finish my Learning skills (which is like 5 weeks), I have to be missioning. Gave me some thought as to what I want in a mission ship.

#1: Size appropriate. Enough doing level 2's with a frigate, or level 3's with a Cruiser. From now on I fly as advised.

#2: Turret boat. I don't have the SP to devote towards learning whole new paradigms of the game until I'm flying level 4's routinely, and participating in Faction Warfare.

Therefore, for level 3's I want to fly a Harbinger, and a Battleship for level 4's. Seems simple enough. Do level 2's till learning skills complete. Then finish training cruiser skills. Then get battlecruiser skills (also destroyer for salvaging, coercer is of course the only one for this), then move to Level 3's.

I expect I'll deviate from this plan eventually, but this is the current approahc

Live and Learn

I was captured by a pirate today, one Zenk Zarr. He stripped away my vessel's (Bestower I) armor and shields and threatened to destroy me unless I paid an appropriate ransom. The lives of my crew paramount in my mind, I paid the brigand, whereupon he destroyed me anyway, looted my ship and salvaged my vessel.

Lesson learned, pirate filth. I'll never make that mistake again.
