Back then in my first days in eve i started as a miner in galante space, it was most profitable way to make isk with 0 skills, i remember my venture brought 400-500k isk per trip, but after a week of mining i wanted to blow things up, i started to do missioning but they were not lucrative at all. I came to realization that i need to go to nearby low sec systems and rat some belts, i fited catalyst with blasters and went for adventures in low sec. Low sec ratting was sort of profitable but pirates were killing me quite often. Then i joined Russian FW corp, they teached me how to capture and defend beacons. Since i was poor alpha with few skillpoints, each time a hostile player showed up i had to run, on FW i lost like 50+ ships and made my first 100 mill. Beaten but not broken i continued my adventures in new eden. Russian corp wasn't a good one, so i was seeking for something better and i stumbled in jita upon a guy who invited me in his null sec corp. From that time i do sansa ratting
