It was but now newbie's start with either 900,000 or 1 million SP. I think it's 900k.

.2 sec with a POS?? that sounds like what we need to do Thunder. We could help beef up your police force pretty quickly.

So if I already have a retriever, how many SP's do you think I have? I haven't played in a long time so I have no clue what my toon was sitting at last. Would it be more worth it to start over again? Or do you think my character already has around that anyhow? Just looking for the quickest way to get my battleship.

Not sure TB, its taken me a week though, to go from flying a frig with crapy gun skills, to flying a cruiser outfitted with heavy missles, a hybrid shield tank, and some medium guns.

If your in a mining barge, i wouldn't imagine that it would take too take long to get enough money to buy a battleship. They have characters that will haul, and the police force will usually send one or two characters to guard you.

I think I had about 1.5 million before I was in a Barge....but I'm just guessing. Start your account back up and let me know

I'm guessing you will be close to getting a battleship already. The problem is if you're gonna go in to low sec with a battleship you might lose a lot of money since you won't have many skills to back up the battleship. Some people say you can leave the station in a battleship but you can't really fly a battleship until you get support skills up (missiles, shields, engineering....ect). If you have a retriever though you are already well above the newbie starting point.

I wouldn't bring my underdeveloped battleship anywhere, probably just run simple missions with it, or even just drydock it and buy stuff for it as time goes on. I would need to venture out to get better ore though, since I was mining.. the cheap stuff lol. Sure I could still make several million, but I don't know if it was worth it since it would take a couple weeks of playing to get to $100,000,000 for the battleship.

You could fly a destroyer. Those are only 1 million and have 8 high slots....they are like mini BS. That wouldn't be so bad to lose and they can do some nice damage. Also they are easier to train than the BS. You could probably get in one of those in like 20 minutes of training.

I believe I already have a destroyer sitting in a spacestation somewhere, at least I'm pretty sure it was my mining character that had it.

Well there you go....when i'm ready to go down in to low sec I'll probably take my destroyer....I don't mind losing that and it can still be quite effective with a group.

I have a T1 Frigate that I named "Kamakazi" that I use to venture into low sec sometimes lol.

Shuttles were fun though, speeding all over the place.
