So, as a part of Greenbeard's Freebooters, I have moved out to 0.0 with Split Infinity. I have to say, it is a very interesting experience. Thus far, all I have with me are my T3 and a Harbinger, so money isn't flowing as easily as others have said it does. I'm sure that if I can get something larger out here, ISK efficiency will improve, but for now, I'm content doing Hubs and playing bodyguard for the newer members of GF, Lozyjoe and Caveat Emptor Tempora. Ultimately, we moved out here to get a bit of PvP action, so a lack of PvE efficiency isn't very high on my list of worries at the moment.
In the realm of PvP, I went out on a shield BC roam in my Harbinger, and had an interesting experience. About 11 of us kept about 60 Intergalactic Exports Group
holed up in a station in Detorid. The roam got us 1 kill and 1 loss, but our ISK efficiency was a lot better than the 1:1 kill:loss showed, since we could have bought about 8 of those Blackbirds with that one Nemesis kill. The only thing I didn't much care for was how much we cut and ran, especially since a majority of the time we were outside my targeting and turret range (SeBo and beams next time, for sure, or just a Drake, once skills allow). Would have been nice if the guys had actually engaged us at all (we were harassed by a crow multiple times, but nobody could lock him down enough to get a kill), but we can always try again later.
One thing I have to say is that the alliance is very welcoming, and I'm very much enjoying my time there. Let's see what the future holds, and hope that I don't get killed too many times.
For now, Teh Smit, out.
