I finally figured out why my Cruiser couldn't hit anything... It's a Cruiser! Even though I was webifying (Tricky EVE spelling...) my targets, my blasters' tracking was too slow. What kind of targets am I shooting at? Level I mission targets: rogue drones, frigates, more frigates, etc. But until I can move up to Level II missions, I'm stuck.
Luckily, I found a solution: outfitting myself with a crazy Tristan. Now, my set-ups are nothing to brag about, so I'm not even gonna attempt to post it. It gets the job done, however. Frigates are sweet, but shuttles are even sweeter. I bought one to go retrieve my Tristan, my Thorax having just hauled outlying stuff to my home station in Amsen, and it was speedy-fast. If they had medium slots, I would totally slap a MWD on one, because there is nothing wrong with too much speed.
Currently, I am finishing up Spaceship Command V. After that, I plan to spend two weeks finishing off my learning skills. I'm going to bring all the basic skills up to Level V and the advanced learning skills to Level IV. Then, I'm going to get myself into an Interceptor, per Manasi's advice. By then, I'll be well past 3M skillpoints, and I will attempt to join Star Defender's corporation if they'll have me.
Fly safe!

PS- Thanks to CrazyKinux for adding me to the EVE Online Player Blog list.
PPS- To be clear, that is the list that everyone's blog goes on, not the Blog Pack. But maybe someday...
Keep on the great blogging you do, and you may one day make it into the EVE Blog Pack!
