I've managed to survive in Eve for two weeks, tomorrow. I'm currently setting off a massive scordite asteroid in the Todaki system. I'm hoping the ore I can refine from it should fetch me close to a million ISK. It's a pretty quiet system tonight, at least around Todaki VI asteroid belt.
It's the 3rd day in a row I've tried solo mining with varying degrees of success. I've been trying to jet mine. I loaded up a Merlin with 2 Miner I's and 2 missle launchers. With an extended cargo container I can mine pretty fast but I have to keep up with emptying the ship cargo into the jet can.
The first night a pirate came buy and flipped my can. They do this to get on your nerves. They hope you will fire them and then they can kill you without getting Concorded. It's a pain in the ass. I was at least warned in advance of this. Still, I guess I pissed the guy off and he blew me to bits. I guilted him about it until he gave me a million ISK. All said and done I came out ahead by about 750,000 ISK.
The second night I had trouble locating an asteroid field and when I did the big mining corps would come in just ransack everything. At least they didn't bother me and let me mine my little roids until they had taken everything else. I managed half a carg of ore and sold it all for about 250,000.
Tonight the asteroid belt is empty at the moment so I came out in my badger. It's cargo hold is huge but with only one miner it's slow as hell. Gave me time to catch up on my captain's log though.
