EVE: They handed me my ass, an expensive pause, I re-attach
I purchased my Thorax and am in the process of fitting it out. It’s outfitted enough to start running missions, but not well. The plan is to have it be a blaster boat. Unfortunately, I can’t fit the planned Micro Warp Drive yet so it’s kind of slow getting around, my drones kill most guys before I get in blaster range.
I got a new higher-level Agent today. I headed off on my first mission with complete confidence. My slow getting around cost me big time. These new mobs started shooting me before I was even in drone range, and it hurt big. They burned through my shields quick time. Then my armor. Then half way through my ship structure. I had to scoop and run. It cost me over 300,000 isk to repair. I went back and finished it off, slowly. I even looted the wrecks. It kind of took the whole profit out of the mission, and couple of other missions as well. I guess I thought I was uber.
