First let me just point out that I did NOT start this thread.
Second, AWESOME DUDE!
Third, how many SP did you build up on your old account? It may be worth reactivating your old character and going from there depending on how many SP you have. If I remember correctly you quit pretty quickly didn't you? If you want to restart a brand new character using a buddy code I would be more than happy to supply one, but i don't think you can use buddy codes to reactivate an existing account.
Anyways, if you do have a decent amount of SP from your old character you might consider joining a pirate corp asap. If I remember correctly you were able to score some kills within your first week of playing. Once you get a couple mil SP I might be able to get you into my pirate corp, not sure though.
Also, I'm not maintaining HAL Corp anymore, and am pretty busy in game, but if there's anything I can do to help you out when you get in give me a holler, just FYI I am pretty deep into NPC null sec right now with my main.
BTW for anyone else interested I have like 6 buddy codes at the moment. I think. Gives a 21 day free trial.
