So I've got my first vacation day in a while from RL work. I'm in a warm place but I'm missioning. Slightly sick yet also slightly excellent. I've got plenty of nice activities away from Eve planned but I also have some important missions plans over the next few days as well. I'm currently trying to mission like crazy so that by Monday I will have the isk available for a Kronos which looks like a missioning beast. I don't know what the fit will be and would take suggestions but I'm having a good time right now. I'm trying to figure out if I can build one and how much cash I could save. It's kind of expensive and a bit of a step up from my trusty Domi.
Short post but I'll give you my first standings chart that shows my progress over the last couple of weeks. You will notice that I have gotten almost nowhere with a couple of factions, but you can see how things progress. More discussion on how this is working to come.

Shaken
Just a short post. I think the goal is impossible which is both sad and liberating. I've started tracking numbers when I complete storyline missions and I see some math in there that leads me to the conclusion that it can't be done. So a normal person who has seen all the signs that point to failure would stop but I'm not normal. So I'm forging ahead. In my next post I will do an analysis of standings fluctuations over the last couple of weeks and also point you to a couple posts that seem interesting and relevant to this subject.
Oh and to that random hi sec gate camper that tried and failed to kill my auto-piloted covert ops ship. Sorry, but you lose. Funny story though. I had set myself to auto-pilot through about 15 hi sec systems. After being afk for a bit, I looked over and noticed that I had reached my destination which was superb. I also noticed the strange fact that my ship had no armor and had lost a quarter of its hull. I quickly scoured my logs and sure enough, a couple jumps from my destination, someone had unloaded what they hoped was an instapop on me to the tune of 1100+ damage. Nicely done. I think they thought I had a nice Sister's Probe Launcher or something in my shiny T2 Helios, but I didn't. I laughed at the fact that they had likely been blown out oft he sky by Concord and that even if they HAD blown me up I didn't have any good modules so they suffered for nothing. Jokes on you, jerk! Hahahaha. Well, fast forward a couple of hours to the point when I look in the small cargo container I had in my hold. Oh right. Just the night before I had shot through the Providence gauntlet, white-knuckled and tired with BPOs worth a couple hundred million. At that point I put on another pair of Depends because, yes, I had just crapped my pants. That dastardly camper would have gotten all the stuff I was worried about getting out of null and he would have done it in .9 space. I was no longer laughing. That is Eve though. Sometimes you have to afk because the risk is worth the non-wasted time. Also true is the fact that sometimes it is far better to be lucky than good.
