So i have not logged anything in a few years, I have not been in the black until recently. Im not in any squadron because the small one i was inactive in for awhile although mostly friendly, i wasn't welcomed by everyone and one cmdr started complaining about me, i noticed this person didnt seem to like my presence within the squadron even back when i first joined, So a few days back i just cut my loses and left. I cut all communications with any of them. I just left quietly and peacefully. Now im a freelancer. Which isnt bad but it can get kinda dull out there in the black all alone. So i have applied to join a much bigger squadron now. Im more a the loner type so it remains to be seen if i will actually engage with them and it depends on how welcoming they are. Usually big groups like this are less likely to care and you are just another number so to speak. Well shall see. For now im just doing freelance things. Trade, Bounty Hunting (im just NOW getting combat down a lot better) and i even dabbled in manipulating the BGS in a star system for fun. Anyways, im hoping in the future i can have a more enjoyable experience, not that it has been bad and not enjoyable at all, Like i said, it just gets kinda dull and also repetitive completely out there on your own.

Millions in Credits!

Mining for the last two days has turn me such an insane profit and i am extremely pleased with every bit of it. At this point and time i can take a small vacation from my chosen profession and maybe hit up the trading markets just for fun or finally go after that imperial cutter ive been working towards for awhile now. Im kinda attached to my Anaconda though. Her name is the ISS Hoplite. I just recently changed her name a few times. Idk where i got that name but its sticks. I might even throw a few million out on a type 9 later for more mining hauls of even bigger proportions than i can pull off in an Anaconda with out having to work around in optional modules in outfitting. So far i have not encountered many pirates(Cmdrs) in the systems i have been mining but its not like they aren't common knowledge among miners and pirates by now. Yes there has been the occasional pirate(NPC) once in awhile, i either get away, take them on and turn them to space dust or system security does it for me. Now that im hitting the big time with credits, i feel like the possibilities are endless.. i mean granted i guess it will get kinda boring mining so much in the future but this is my job now. Im heading out in to the black again for awhile. Im off duty from mining for now unless i just want to do over time and get paid a ton more but thats the beauty of it.

profits

My first time really mining so successfully in a metal rich ring. This was an amazing experience, i broke the bank so to speak. Today i hope to achieve even greater gains in this trip out in to the black. Knowing i have such a great coordinates to mine and the guides from third party sources have helped me greatly. Of course anyone that is mining right now knows where i speak of. I mean yes, there is over 400 billion stars out there but with all the resources of our networks we have these days, its so easy to find profitable spots in the galaxy. Well, im heading out. Let's do this baby! (PS. Im talking to my ship, She is a tank so far, plenty of fuel, perfect for everything im doing right now.)

This isn't much of a logbook entry this time. Im just happy to report that i have actually found painite on my own for the first time since i have really dedicated myself to the stars. Im getting big loads, big tonnage, there is no way im not gonna hit over millions mining this stuff. I know its pretty much common knowledge that painite is a BIG seller in the galaxy but for me this is a HUGE milestone.

Ive been in a squadron for awhile now, they seem to have a good foot hold on multiple systems, which is nice for a trader/courier/miner (noob miner at that) like me. But it also gets a little stale when your squadron really isnt around all that much on active duty. Im thinking of expanding out to another a little larger squadron that is more than likely sided with the Imperial Empire. It remains to be seen because they are a great bunch of people just not very many of them. So far im struggling with the market, im not green per say but im not a veteran either. Mining is something new to me and so far has been quite the aggravating experience, i shall turn to my pilots handbook and other sources including my squad mates if i can ever reach them as of late. Here's hoping my next venture out is lucrative because 2 million credits is chump change in this economy.
