Shortly after my last journal entry (but before the helpful comment) I realized that it might be more productive for me to spend my time making connections within my chosen corporation than it would be to keep droning away at meaningless tasks with my level 1 agent.
This proved to be true and within a few short hours I was ready to start doing meaningless tasks for a level 2 agent.
This was a BIG improvement... except that it really felt more like Super Sizing a Value Meal at whatever the current equivalent for McDonald's might be than a real change.
I did enough missions to prove that - with patience - I could run most of the missions I was given in a lowly skilled frigate. But even that challenge didn't hold my attention for long.
I was going to need more than this to keep myself going.
And so, with a sigh of boredom, I sent myself back to school and focused on laying the foundation for my evil endeavors.
Now, with my trial period a little over half way over, I'm almost ready to start trying to find my way into a corporation.
Today will probably be spent finding a likely target.
By next weekend I will hopefully have chat logs and video with which to remember the fun... :)

Before you can beat them... you have to join them...
I am a new pod pilot. I've invested my life's savings in joining the capsuleer program and outfitting my first ship.
Like most new pilots in Eve, I'm starting out by training learning skills to shorten the time it will take me to train to the truly essential skills. I know this isn't really helping me get to the ships I'll need to kill Marauders and Faction Battleships fit with 3,000,000,000 isk worth of officer mods, but it will help me be more flexible in the future. Flexibility may be key in being able to take down the pride and joy of a 3+ year old pod pilot with one that is less than a month old.
I've also realized that in order to convince other corporations to invite me into their confidence, I'll need to make my story believable. Unfortunately, this means I have to act like them. I'll need to have some kind of standings for the corporation that they primarily run missions for in order to convince them I'm serious about being a contributing member of their little racket.
After two hours of killing disgruntled employees and stopping minor pirate blockades I'm ready to gouge my eyes out. How do these guys do this for hours on end?
Only the promise of joining some mission-runner corp and teaching them a lesson is fueling my desire to continue.
It certainly isn't the 1,300,000 isk I've made in the last hour.

A New Beginning (Again)
I'm not a thief. Or at least.. that's not my main objective.
My goal is to teach a lesson to corporations who have forgotten that their only protection from the brutal universe that is Eve comes from Concord... and unfortunately for them... Concord only protects them from those outside of their corporation.
My goal is to taste the tears of pilots who think they are perfectly safe in Empire fighting against known targets.
My goal is to destroy the flagships of as many corporations as possible with a pilot who is just beginning to feel his/her full potential.
My ultimate goal is to get richer, quicker than the mindless grind of running missions for agents could ever hope to make me.
This is my story.
