Finally learnt the lesson.
After losing my last Thorax to a gate camp the other night I’ve finally come to the conclusion that I’m positive all seasoned players know that bigger is not better when you are hoping to engage in pvp for a new player such as myself.
Mission running and ratting will let you get away with upgrading to a larger ship and certainly a minimum of a cruiser is required to take down some of the spawns in low sec but, and here’s the point, you can’t fit them right without better skills. And while I have been making isk faster than I have been losing it by ratting, my heart really is in trying to become a successful pirate and learning the ropes of pvp.
With that in mind, I’ve chosen to stick to frigates for the time being and channel my funds into those, training up the skills to try and squeeze as much out of them before I start looking to upgrade again.
What is yet to be seen is whether or not I can maintain my income at the same rate against loss…
