As for funding your losses: I suppose that depends on what you're doing out there, but ratting in a cheaply-built Rifter should pay for lots of stuff.Casiella Truzahttp://rift.chromebits.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-4662947115772634942010-04-12T23:45:56.480+01:002010-04-12T23:45:56.480+01:00OkamiKurai - you are right I suppose.

I'm such a hermit. Both because high-sec is so overly populated it makes me want to puke, and because the jump from high-sec back to low-sec is always the most dangerous.<br /><br />Glad you guys are enjoying the new alliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-80827990010965362742010-04-12T18:32:38.968+01:002010-04-12T18:32:38.968+01:00What do you do for your losec income?What do you do for your losec income?Borgelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03864115271701125719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-33452667226036189192010-04-12T17:43:59.664+01:002010-04-12T17:43:59.664+01:00Seems to me that a fair number that talk about how...Seems to me that a fair number that talk about how boring high-sec is, and how low-sec is better and more exciting, is in a position to afford the excitement.<br /><br />Especially if you are a fool like I am and doing the lone wolf thing.<br /><br />It takes a bit to be able to afford to take losses. Just how long depends on who you hook up with corp-wise (not just for play style but for advice). Not mentioning obviously how you want to play to begin with.<br /><br />Hmmm....after typing this, I come to realize how I have been going about achieving things the wrong way.<br /><br />^_^ oh well, I am in the process of fixing that.OkamiKuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451464646513177602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-75558908103314774372010-04-12T13:29:31.188+01:002010-04-12T13:29:31.188+01:00Gratz on the move :)
