Tonight's Run -- 15.3M ISK

Just a quick one hour run tonight and only 1 Radar site.  It was worth 15.3M ISK though, which isn't bad.

Here it is:
1x Local Serpentis Shattered Life-Support Unit

Tonight's Run -- 31.0M ISK

It started off well enough, in fact I picked up 4 Radars in an hour for 31M, but then the second hour was dry.  So 2 hours, 4 sites, 31M.  Also saw one site that a Corax was already finishing up.

Here's what I ran:
3x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Tonight's Run -- 58.0M ISK

2 hours and 58.0M ISK from 5 Radar sites.  The Gallente decryptors have continued their slide.  Engagement Plans are now going for 5M tops (in Hek), and are at 4.5M in Jita.  Collision Measurements are also down to around 5.2M in Jita now too (they were 6M+ just a few days ago).  I think I'll hold on to mine for a bit and see if the price improves.

Here's the list:
1x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
2x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Tonight's Run -- 37.7M ISK

Slow run.  2 hours, 37.7M ISK and only 4 Radars found.  I saw a lot of scanning ships.  Herons, Magnates, Probes, Helios, Buzzards.  But no Imicuses, oddly enough.  Busy night for exploration I guess.

Here's what I ran:
1x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
2x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center

Tonight's Run -- 73.7M ISK

It started off slow, but turned into a good run.  1 1/2 hours and 73.7M ISK.  I hit 6 Radars and they all paid pretty well.  The Engagement Plan decryptor seems to be in a freefall price-wise.  There were buy orders above 6M a couple weeks ago, and now in Jita they're 4.5M.  I was able to unload the last several days worth of them for 5.4-5.5M elsewhere, but it looks like those orders are drying up as well.  I'll have to keep an eye on it and see what happens.

Lots of fighting in tonight's batch:
2x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
2x Local Serpentis Production Installation
1x Local Serpentis Backup Server
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Tonight's Run -- 72.1M ISK

Not too bad...  9 Radar sites and 72.1M ISK in 3 hours.  Didn't have any trouble with other people in my sites either, though it would also be nice to find a greater density of good sites, I shouldn't complain much about this.  :P

Here's the list:
2x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
3x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
2x Local Serpentis Data Terminal
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Run #2 -- 53.9M ISK

It took 3 1/2 hours, but I managed to scrap together enough sites to loot 53.9M ISK.  Not one of my best runs, that's for sure.  8 Radar sites, though 3 of them were duds (just one can, and no decryptors).  I also had a guy in a Myrmidon enter a site just after I did.  There were 4 cans and we split them.  Still one of those cans had two decryptors, making it the best site of the run.

Here's the rundown:
3x Local Serpentis Mainframe
2x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
1x Local Serpentis Shattered Life-Support Unit
1x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Data Terminal

Quick Run -- 52.9M ISK

Just finished a quick, one-hour run and netted 52.9M ISK of loot.  5 Radar sites.  Saw a couple more Imicuses and one Magnate, but that was near the beginning of my run.  I think I got out in front of them.  :P

Here a list of the sites I encountered:
1x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
2x Local Serpentis Shattered Life-Support Unit
1x Local Serpentis Data Terminal

Tough Run -- 37.1M ISK

Had a tough run tonight.  Went on a 3 hour roam and only came away with 37.1M ISK from 6 Radar sites.  I found two more that were done before I could get there and a also saw a lot of Imicuses (Imici?), and a couple Herons and Magnates.  Either there was a lot of exploration going on tonight, or I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, pretty much all night.  On top of that, bad luck to roll the 4 Symbiotic Figures (the cheapest decryptor) instead of a couple of the others.

Here's what I ran:

3x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
1x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Production Installation

Run #2 -- 82.2M ISK

Went on a second run tonight (just over 2 hours) and had much better luck.  I found and completed 8 Radar sites and looted 82.2M ISK worth of stuff.  I also found a 1/10 that had just been completed (and the wrecks must have been salvaged) and a radar site with wrecks, which I'm not counting here. So it could have been even better.

Not much fighting in this batch (only one had defenders):
4x Local Serpentis Mainframe
2x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Production Installation
1x Local Serpentis Backup Server

Tonight's Haul -- 45.7M ISK

Another slow-ish night.  2 1/2 hours and 45.7M ISK.  I found another 3/10 DED site and attempted to run it but had to bail at half structure in the third room.

That definitely slowed me down.  I only ran about half of the site and it took a while.  It's mostly frigates, but a lot of them.  I think with a better tank I could do it.  But for now, I'll stick to Radars and 1/10 DED sites.  Should make the scanning go a little faster as well.

Here's the sites that I did run (not including that botched 3/10):

1x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
1x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Production Installation
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Tonight's Haul -- 40.7M ISK

Had a bit of a slow night, taking in just 40.7M ISK in 2 hours.  I did run my first DED site (a 1/10) and got my first C-Type drop.  Unfortunately it was just some EM Plating and not something that's in demand.  I also found a 3/10 site and was going to give it a go, but someone had already run it.

4 Radars and 1 DED site.  Here they are:

1x Serpentis Drug Outlet
1x Local Serpentis Mainframe
1x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
1x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Production Installation

Tonight's Haul -- 66.1M ISK

I nearly stayed entirely in Sinq Laison tonight and had another productive run.  Ran 9 Radars in 2 hours, although a few where definitely duds.  Don't know if I just had bad luck with the cans or if if someone had gotten to them right before I did.

Anyway, 66.1M ISK by my calculation (Jita buy prices + bounties), not bad.

Here's what I ran:
4x Local Serpentis Mainframe
2x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
1x Local Serpentis Data Terminal
1x Local Serpentis Production Installation
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Tonight's Haul -- 76.8M ISK

Tonight I had my second exploration run with my Atron.  I had been doing radar sites with an Imicus previously, but my drone skills aren't very good and I wanted to see if an unbonused ship can serve as an adequate exploration vehicle.  So far, it looks like it can.  :)

It took me about two and a half hours scanning around Sinq Laison and Essence to find and run 8 Radar sites, netting about 76.8M ISK (using Jita buy prices as the reference & including bounties).  Productive run and not a bad start for the blog.  I was a little concerned I'd hit a dry spell right off the bat.

Here's what I saw:
2x Local Serpentis Mainframe
3x Local Serpentis Virus Test Site
1x Local Serpentis Data Processing Center
1x Local Serpentis Shattered Life-Support Unit
1x Local Serpentis Minor Shipyard

Hello New Eden

Is this thing on?  Ahem, I've been a capsuleer for not quite 3 months now.  Like many people new to this career, I was a bit overwhelmed and unsure of what I wanted to make of it all.  I tried a little mining.  It was slow and dull, but it paid the bills.  I tried signing on with a company (Federal Frieght) and helped them with some pirate problems they were having.  I also hauled some stuff around for them.  More interesting than mining, but still wasn't quite right.

I happened on exploration mostly by accident.  I didn't really think I'd like it, but gave it a try anyway.  And I was wrong.  That was about a month ago and there doesn't seem to be any turning back now.  Such freedom.  I have no masters now, whether asteroids or company agents.  I go where I want, when I want with only my wits, my guns, and my probes.  I hope you enjoy my story.
