Skill training needed
Currently i find Ark is unable to fit a rifter to match her gameplay mainly through lacking afew supporting gunnery skills including the all important weapon upgrades skills while her tanking is good but not all lvl V as yet. Some of these can easily be fixed and in a fairly short time others a couple of weeks or more. Also the need to up ship vs various hostiles mean she's somewhat lacking in that area tho able to fit a basic cane that is good enough for now.
Priorities :-
1 - Weapon upgrades V - Advanced weapon upgrades IV
2 - Gunnery support skills to atleast IV (possibly missiles too)
3 - Make a t2 fit for the Cane possible
4 - Assault ships - covert ops and interceptors to IV
5 - Start cross training frigate skills and the other small weapon types
That should keep me busy for agood while atleast. Will check back in a couple of months to see how well i've stuck to it. I just know i'll find soemething silly to train instead.
Also as skills improve i'll play around with a mix of fits till i narrow down to 2 different styles i like using.
Combat arena - high or low
For now i intend to stay in high sec areas while i finish atleast point 2 of the above list. During this time i'll have to make do with chasing the War Targets Miura Bull finds us. Tho i also intend to use this time to learn Ninja salvaging and get better at can flipping as so far i'm not had much luck in either area.
As for where to base from i've narrowed down to a couple of systems which are no more that 2 jumps from low sec, no more than 5 from a good trade hub, close to areas where alot of my fellow Black Jackets fly for those moments help maybe needed, access to good areas for griefing and not too far from a faily well populated lvl 4 area.
Once selected afew ships will be moved in while leaving most in a central zone awaiting distribution as needed. This is mainly cos The Black Jackets are supposed to be on tour and as such will probably need to establish afew other tempory bases as we go. I dont fancy having issues with moving masses of stuff every time.

First post/introduction
The Theme
This blog will be based around a MMO i play called EVE online. This is the first time i've ever blogged or written about anything for along long time so please dont expect very much flare. I'll be writing things mainly for myself and very much in my own style if you happen to like it then great.
My basic play history
I've been playing roughly a couple of years now but playing mainly as a very casual "carebear" miner/low level industrialist. But after getting very bored with this i decided it was time for a change. well atleast now and then.
So enter my first foray into pvp by creating a basicly skilled "lemming" frigate pilot and joining the Eve Radio low sec roam known as the lemmings leap. Which put me into some rather interesting fights and alot of deaths, mainly mine. After doing this afew times over the months i decided the time had come to see just what kinds of trouble i can get myself into. So the training on the industrialist stopped and a very low skilled character i'd made for something to do during Hulkageddon II was awakend. For those that dont know Hulkageddon is a ingame event run by a player/blogger which centers around killing minning ships over a 10 day period with prizes going to those with most kills etc.

Meet ArkReaper
She is a Brutor Slave Child that caused much trouble in her early life. Some where her actions broughter her to the attention of the Minmatar Capsuleer program. After going through the program and successfully becomeing a capsuleer she found her memories had been lost during the final stages of becoming eternally imortal. With the loss of memory the lost of her identity a long spell of wanting to find herslef set in. Spending almost a year doing very little but exploring space removing the threat of various npc pirates from the area and doing the occasional mission for agents when needed. Until one day she happened across a hostile capsuleer who had somehow managed to get the right to shoot her in high security space. The fight lasted only afew minutes but seemed to last much longer. Just about to loose her rifter to the thrasher pilot her luck turned as corp mate that had been running a higher level mission in system arrived in the area and the hostile fled. However close the loss of the fight was the thrill of the fight had awakened something long lost in ArkReaper and after setting her local affairs in order she set out to find more fights.
New Corp needs
After roaming about for awhile and stuggleing to find any sort of combat other than the unchallenging system rats and the new found urge to learn combat skills aswell as get into more fights a new corp was needed. After scanning through all the recruitment channels and finding nothing for days she happened across a conversation between a couple of other capsuleers in the local systems communication window. It seemed one had been trying to get a fight out of the other but to no avail. Checking the pilots corperate info showed him to be in some sort of pirate gang whose name looked familiar from somewhere. Not having a combat ship in system prevented Ark from going and seeing just what the other pilot had but instead she booted up Aura's search functions and looked into the pilots corperation while heading to the bar.
Afew hours later and she was logging into "the autocannon". Which happened to be the public communication channel for The Black Rebel Rifter Club. After a brief talk with the ceo Miura Bull (whose tales had been followed via his Blog) Ark donned the black jacket and entered the private rooms of The Black Rebel Rifter Club. She now flys the spacelanes in her trusty and rusty rifter with the tag [R1FTA] proudly shown after her name.
