Ok so I had off to try my hand at some level II missions.  The first went very smoothly and then I got a second mission.  The ISK was triple what I had been earning on the level I’s and I thought wow!  Let me at it!

After heading into the dead-space pocket I noticed that ‘Slaughterhouse’ was moving slowly and within a minute or so was swarmed by mission rats.  Fook!  I couldn’t keep them at range and my whole speed tanking skills were not working.  I had to warp out.  Not giving up on my iskies I went back but luckily could come in at 70km.  This time I aligned back to the gate I came from and started hoofing it away from the rats.  Once again though they were onto me in no time and I left the mission in abject failure deep into armour.

This was really dissappointing.  It did not look like I was going to be able to tank this mission and I didn’t have the range to be able to pick the rats off in my frigate.  So it was back to the drawing board.  I kind of want to be certain I have my skills polished off before trying out a cruiser.  Otherwise I am going to half know most things and master nothing.  So I decided to go back and fail the mission.

Then I noticed just how much standing I had lost with the Republic Justice Department.  I was back down to 0.79 and no longer had access to level II agents.  So it was time to go back to Rugnus Lunar with my tail between my legs and that is where I am at.   You shouldn’t run before you can walk!!
