One Friday
the Slaver’s Union (Now slaving at a system near you!) were trying to take some
of our newbros and friends. Hopefully lose some ships and have some good lols.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Formup
took about 2 hours to get the newbros up to speed and get them basic combat
training. At the moment we were aligning to the first gate to head to lowsec I
got a message from a capsuleer I did not know by the name o Siegfried Cohenberg
saying he was bumping one o our wartarget’s orcas in niarja. Naturally we
burned over there best speed and reshipped a couple of frigs into cruisers. We
burned down for 20 jumps and I messaged the orca pilot’s riend because the orca
pilot (The CEO of the corporation) would not accept my mails. Once we were all
on grid and the orca was at half structure the friend told me they needed 2
minutes to get 800 million ransom so we all stopped shooting. Around this point
one of their friends warped to the orca in a pod and the orca pilot left their
ship. My only answer to why this happened is they thought the other guy could
hop in the orca to save it and warp off. This is however not the case as a ship
that is targeted cannot be boarded. Even though this seemed like a major win
for us it ended up being a little work. There were 6 people on grid that were
not us targeting the orca and trying to keep people from boarding it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Siegfried
being the sexy man he is already had a plan. If you haven’t already I highly recommend
reading Grid-Fu (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/25/eve-evolved-grid-fu-and-bending-space/">http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/25/eve-evolved-grid-fu-and-bending-space/</a>).
Got it? Awesome. So what happened is Siegfried had one of our members who can
pilot the orca burn just off grid and drop a can to make a new grid that cant
connect with the old grid. The mach pilot then bumped the orca past the grid
line to the guy sitting in wait for the orca. What this did was make the orca disappear
from grid and by extension forced all locks on the orca to drop off.<br />
<br />
However the plan did not go as well
as we had hoped. The orca pilot we had in place had to burn to the orca as it
did not pp through the grid where we had hoped it would. Siegfried being the
baller he is hopped out of his bump mach and jumped in the orca for a few
seconds so that the pilot could burn within range and board the space whale followed
by Sieg hopping back in his machariel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
All in all the orca had 400-500
million in strontium clathrates and was a 1.2-1.2 billion isk profit. Not bad
for a 50 million dec fee.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
So docking the orca we happily went
back to Teonosude to get ready and get in our t1 frigates for another attempt
at going out into lowsec. Shortly after we realized this attempt was futile as
some wartargets jumped into system looking for a fight.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
After
a 1v1 at the sun in my buffer fit incursus (Killmail here) they warped a
dominix on top of the incursus so I felt it only fair to call in the rest of my
fleet of frigates. This dominix took quite literally a dick ton of time to take
down as it was hull tanked. Before dispatching the first domi </div>

A second domi warped right on top of us piloted by the same person on a different
account. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
This domi happened to go suspect and all our non Slaver friends began
to engage. My first thought was oh shit this guy is going to ruin our day with

fit. </div>

All in all the testicular fortitude of this pilot was impressive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
With all this business taken care
of we finally got out to lowsec. This made me very happy as I have not lost a
ship in a long time and I was passed due for a loss. After flying around for
all of 20 minutes I tackled a dramiel on an acceleration gate in lowsec and
waited for his rienforcements while my own fleet warped in. I could tell you it
was some amazing fight where we almost came out on top and fought the odds
bravely… But that would be a dead. Lie. The logi warped at 0, I died after
getting the dramiel to 50% shield, and the next target to be called was an
atron that managed to live. We are has leet pvp…. I swear. These were the
results of our ‘gallant efforts’ <a href="https://zkillboard.com/br/30391/">https://zkillboard.com/br/30391/</a></div>

Not a complete whelp by any means but I lost my ship which was my overall goal for the night. Night=(Op success)*3</div>

Dexter and I would roll around in our wars basically solo with maybe one other
person at most. It may not seem it at first glance but doing solo and small
gang wardeccing is often a lot more fun than the mid gang stuff we are getting
accustomed to.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For starters there is the thrill of the importance of skill
for you and the pilots around you. If you are flying a duo setup you have to
rely heavily on the person next to you or go down in a ball of fire. One of my
favorite pilots to fly with was always Dexter because even if we got completely
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">dicked </i>(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8No61Sr51_I&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">As seen here..</a>) we both enjoyed
the content. But is this the only saving grace to solo and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">small</b> gang? I would most definitely say no.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the major advantages of flying in a small corporation
for your decs is your small size. Normal logic would dictate that a small size
would be less advantageous for combat. Although this is true a small size also
allows you the advantage of not being noticeable. Due to this you rarely get
wardecced by the larger merc/war groups that run around in large gangs of brick
tanked tech 3 cruisers due to it costing them 50 million to actually wardec
you. In their opinion 50 million is hardly worth it as it is unlikely they will
get anything of value off of you or any good fights. Don’t get me wrong you
will still be decced once in a while when they see you waiting on a gate for
your target or undocking from jita and other times they will assist against you
but you are often too small or them to care about, making operating a lot
easier. If it makes it any easier consider yourself an old timey pirate
attacking the merchant vessels while attempting to dodge the navy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what do you get from flying in a blob? Short answer: not
much, long answer: A waste of time caused by the lack of care for the fight.
When you fight in a blob you have very little skin in the game and very little
personal risk. Blob fighting in hisec with tech 3s is something I would compare
to sitting on the undock of a lowsec station in an insta loki with carrier
drones assigned. Without that risk factor we all might as well go back to
mining. My greatest moments in this game have been the moments I have nearly
shat my pants learning what I was about to fight and fighting it anyway. In
many ways fights are like music. While a good solo/small gang fight versus a
similar sized fleet is comparable to the popular symphonies, blob tactics are
more akin to an auditorium full of second graders trying to all play the
recorder. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TL;DR: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Small even fights good</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blobbing uneven fights bad</div>

Now, being a unique and complex game it is easily misinterpreted by outsiders and onlookers, mixed reactions come from the media about the goings on in New Eden, as we saw with the battle of B-R5RB - Media either rejoiced over the awesome battle or shook their heads at the wasted 'money'. What I would like to focus on, however, is much more recent, and is much less controversial, in fact it's a promotional article if anything, so why am I fumed up about it? Let me explain.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.pcgamer.com/the-most-relaxing-games-on-pc/" target="_blank">PC Gamer recently posted an article entitled 'PC's most relaxing games'</a> and you guessed it, EVE Online snagged a spot on the list. I find this odd, throughout my time playing I have found New Eden to be many things, exciting, diverse and even welcoming at times, but relaxing? I just can't place it. It is not, however, the article itself that made me look twice, it was more the content written about EVE. Andy Kelly, the writer of the article has made a little bit of a write up about EVE For us, I'll let you read that before I continue.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Yeah, really. In the dangerous parts of New Eden, where the space-police can’t protect you, EVE is anything but relaxing. But stick to high security areas and it’s a great place to just float around admiring the cosmic scenery. If you’re a sci-fi fan, I’d say it’s worth signing up for the free trial just to experience the atmosphere. Just make sure you stay near your starting area, otherwise pirates will burst your relaxation bubble."</blockquote>
I have no problem with EVE getting positive attention, in fact, I welcome it, the game is diverse enough to welcome a lot of people and every person has the ability to make their mark on New Eden, however when false information is being spread I can't help but twitch. My dismay comes from a sentence in this write up, which you can probably guess goes along the lines of "But stick to high security areas and it’s a great place to just float around admiring the cosmic scenery." I'm sorry, what? The only safe place in New Eden is in a station, end of story. New players are being encouraged to put all their faith in Highsec and allow it to be that little shroud of safety I have grown to hate.<br />

I feel like I am over reacting, I wouldn't be surprised if others also shared this thought. I do, however, believe that others should also agree with me, at least on some level. Ultimately EVE Online is a sandbox, the players are given an empty canvas and then the means to turn it into a masterpiece. I don't see falsehoods being apart of this masterpiece, it needs to be clear, from the get-go that no where is safe, no where is out of bounds. Maybe then we would see less people quitting because "someone broke the rules and ganked me in Highsec and CCP did nothing about it."<br />
<br />
Let's put an end to the propaganda, let's try and make an EVE that isn't viewed through tinted windows, transparency is the key, we need to leave nothing out. And this, it seems, is where I place my call to arms, I ask you, next time you are asked about EVE, or even the next time you write about EVE, don't leave anything out of fears it won't appeal to an outsiders eyes, give them everything EVE has to offer and let them decide if they want to grasp onto it and fall down the rabbit hole we are all to familiar with.<br />

It's safe to say that I have seen a lot, so when something comes along that truly impresses me and creates a sense of accomplishment in myself it must be something out of the ordinary, something special. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Out of the ordinary is exactly what my new home, Slaver's Union is. The aim is to essentially turn highsec PvP into a new player friendly and easily accessible activity, although our promoted activities are not necessarily considered 'mainstream' in anyway we have found our niche. When someone sets out to both help out new players and create a steady flow of content for said players it can go one of two ways - crash and burn with little to no success, or, slowly begin to form into an entity that is both feared and respected, examples of which can be found in Brave Newbies or Red VS Blue, in the case of Slaver's Union, I believe the latter is occurring, we are sitting on something that has the potential to be huge. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What really triggered this sense of astonishment was our first real fleet operation, although small, seeing it accomplish its goal was more than satisfying. To give you an idea of what we are working with let me start by saying three of the members of the eight man fleet were under a month old, in comparison to the enemy force we were expecting, we were essentially out gunned, however our moral stayed strong - something that was yet another surprise. We formed a Logistics wing and a DPS wing and began planning.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The main strategy was to force a fight from the enemy corporation (and its backup) as a previously bashed POCO came out of reinforced, simple, right? Not quite. We had Intel to suggest and warrant the enemy bringing at least two command ships, namely the Eos and Damnation, alone they would most likely break us. We informed the fleet of our situation and their immediate response was "Fuck it, let's fight." We were on. We landed on grid about a minute after the POCO's timer expired and immediately applied DPS while logi sat off grid in a close by safe, ready to be called in if required. The enemy at this point has not formed, and hence the resistance was naturally minimal, we faced a lone Tornado whose presence was shrugged off easily by logi reps, his situation quickly became aware to himself and he left grid, and soon after, system.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before long the POCO location was ours, although not originally the intention we saw no reason not to claim it as it could bring in income as well as content if they were to try and reclaim it. All this is well and good, however it is not my intention to brag about how we defeated a non existent force, rather to congratulate everyone involved in the op, for most in the fleet it was their first time taking real orders, their first time maintaining good comms and for some, and even for some, their first time in a fleet. Despite all of this everyone maintained themselves, targets were followed and orders were adhered to, our moral was insane, the newbro's willingness to fight was at the very least inspiring. When I sat there, peering at a fully independent fleet all I could think of is where we have come from, a tiny corporation set out to help new players into some fun, immersive gameplay is now the figurehead of an Alliance.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 15.3599996566772px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Slaver's Union continues to impress me every day and I believe it will for months, even years to come, we are here to stay, <i>more importantly</i> we are here to <a href="http://i.imgur.com/eT6hGCn.jpg" target="_blank"><b>oppress your neighbour.</b></a></span></span><br />

into a war target diplomatic channel and told them we would be removing them
from their wormhole. Well we at the Dickwad squad and by extension Slaver’s
Union are many things but we are not liars.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
after about a week of war we found their wormhole and sat around for a while.
Once we had mapped out their operations we started engaging the pesky residents
in low level combat. After a short time they gave up without a fight. I was
very disappointed in Mushopia Alliance. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Soon
after the wordless retreat of Mushopia we had intel that one of the people
assisting our wars was coming to fight. Minimak has seemed to have the hots for
killing me ever since our war started and this would be his chance. After
scanning the hole and warping to it at 70 km we played hole games. He brought
out hammers and I shot them to hull, taunted him in a private chat a bit, and
jumped into the hole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> During this time a member of Mushopia attempted several times to get wormhole access. This we promplty countered with a smart bombing Phobos. Not exactly the most cookie cutter fit for a heavy interdictor ship but who needs cookie cutter when you have a smart bombing Phobos.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>After
about half an hour Minimak followed in with a Mushopia Drake from the aforementioned smart bombing backing him up. We
made short work of the drake and slowly worked on the VNI.<br />

<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to warp off as I was primary due
to the previously discussed hots. With me gone and the Phobos being slow he was able
to burn out of the bubble in his VNI and warp off. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>GFs and
propaganda were of course exchanged in local and minimak expressed he would be
logging now and he did. But wait… I still had ten and a half minutes on my
criminal timer so he had to still be logged in since I had to warp off half way through the fight. Gucci
Ormand quickly brought in his scanning alt and we found the still in space VNI.
After which it and the pod were properly dicked. </div>

Quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of nullsec and lowsec alike — New Eden being, after all, full of strange people beyond count. Griefers must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as great warriors, nor counted among the very wise.<br />
<br />
In fact, it has been remarked by some that the Griefer's only real passion is for Carebear blood. A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in unfair PvP, and, the destruction of entire alliances from the inside-out. But where our hearts truly lie is in destruction and mayhem, tears and death. For all Griefers share a love of things that burn.<br />
<br />
And yes, no doubt, to others our ways seem quaint. But now, more than ever, it is brought home to me, it is no bad thing to celebrate a Carebears transition to manhood - to a <i>fun</i> way of living.<br />
<br />
And despite all this, we do have our niche in New Eden, we, as a community are the core drive of the sandbox based freedom that makes EVE Unique, without us, rather, without our style of game play it is evident that there won't really be a figurehead for the advertised 'do anything, be anything' gameplay that EVE is oh so famous for. What I am referring to of course, is awoxing, more so the potential removal of it.<br />
<br />
Awoxing is in many ways one of the most exciting player activities I have ever engaged in, the adrenaline rush is insane, that moment of truth when you either get passed their security and into their corp, or get rejected and publicly displayed as an awoxer, the true joy and happiness when you pull off a <i>really </i>good awox is indescribable. It's some of the greatest fun I've had in the game. Sure, I am a member of this community, and I am expected to defend it to the bone, however even a Carebear can see what removing or changing the corp aggression rules could do to this game - I see these changes as one right step in the wrong direction.<br />
<br />
I am asking you, the reader, even if you identify as a Carebear, mission runner, nullsec diplomat or simply a station trader, do you want to see this great game, one of the few remaining <i>true </i>sandboxes available to have its freedom removed from it piece by piece? If we allow something as simple and great as awoxing to be removed then whose to say another great piece of this game could also be torn away from us.<br />
<br />
It's obvious that this is the battle of the few against the many, but this filthy few will not take changes lightly, and I expect, nor will others.<br />

It's kind of a weird idea to understand but I believe you are less likely to lose your barge/exhumer/industrial ship in nullsec or a wormhole.<br />
<br />
The idea that highsec is safe, secure and untainted by the menace's of EvE simply cannot hold for much longer, people <i>still </i>believe that if they are in highsec, they are safe. They are wrong. I do not have much experience with nullsec, however, I believe if you and you corp found a dead end system and launched a mining op there, not only would you be more profitable, you could potentially, be safer.<br />
<br />
I gank in highsec because I enjoy tearing the aforementioned shroud of security and safety away from these miners. I'm a bit of an asshole, yeah, I get that, but what I am doing, at the end of the day, is encouraging actions that prevents my behaviour - kind of counter productive but hey, you can't win them all.<br />
<br />
All someone needs to do to avoid being ganked in highsec is <i>tank their barge. </i>When I am looking for a target I basically <i>ignore </i>Procurers because they are simply hard as fuck to kill, naturally, Skiffs are also off the list. What I do look for is Hulks, Covetors and Retrievers, in that order. Hulks are made of paper and I can solo most of them, same deal for Covetors and Retrievers.<br />
<br />
<b>tl;dr;</b> If you want to avoid being ganked, tank your fucking ship <i>adequately</i> and fly in 0.7 or higher.Dexter Philipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14412679287569898057noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191915637196417151.post-5039500600092461442015-01-08T22:15:00.001-08:002015-01-08T22:15:27.872-08:00Taught a class, before work!I've just returned from the coast and decided I'd hop right back into New Eden and check on my pupils in the belts. Couldn't find many pupils around but I did manage to find two and teach them lessons accordingly, they, for some odd reason didn't enjoy the classes this time - odd.<br />
<br />
The first student was having a great time in Poinen before I pulled up and started the lecture. Usual game plan, warp to my alt, tap some hotkeys ever so graciously and watch the world burn. Did not manage to grab the pod on this one either, may consider training skills to increase scan res in the near future.

You could simply ask for a favor in their chat channel that gives the person doing the favor a certain amount of power over you and 9 times out of 10 you can trust them not to screw you over. But what about random strangers? Can you trust someone you just met?<br />
<br />
This story starts with a capsuleer named Cyclo Hexanol looking to score some isk for the wallet. After checking the watch list he noticed a Russian player who was active from a wardec that was a few days old. After running a locator and sending an alt down to the system of Chanoun to check out the results Cyclo was very happy to see that a Mackinaw was mining in system. This unlucky capsuleers name was M0rtal Kurvora and Cyclo was about to ruin his day.<br />
<br />
After picking out one of his favorite ships Cyclo made his way down to the targets system. He was immediately worried that the Mackinaw he had once seen was no longer at the belts. After about 10 minutes of searching with the alt he realized there was an ice belt in system.... Perfect. Upon warping to said Ice Belt with the alt he was pleased to see that the target was sitting right there. Cyclo quickly jumped into system and warped himself to the scout while the scout warped out to curb future suspicion. Upon landing the Mackinaw was pointed and webbed and taken down to hull. As per usual the pilot recieved a convo to talk ransom. A ship like this would only net Cyclo about 100 million or so in ransom but he realized the pilot eject and warp off. <i>Well shit I dont know anyone who can pilot this thing</i> he thought. He started negotiating for the pilot to pay to come reclaim the ship. At that moment he got another convo from someone else in the ice belt.<br />
<br />
We are going to call this person Ashby. Though Ashby was mining ice he talked about how he had seen Dickwad Squad around before and liked them and shortly after offered to fly the Mack to a station. Cyclo was not very willing to trust Ashby as he did not know who this person was and it was a good possibility this person would run away with the 200 million isk prize. But he kept the convo open and kept talking to Ashby just to feel him out.<br />
<br />
After about 20 minutes of trying to find assets worth 100 million from the M0rtal to be contracted as payment and him trying to find friends who could give him the ISK Cyclo decided it was time to act. He told Ashby he would take him up on the offer and the pilot flew off to the station and came back in a capsule. The entire time the though <i>Im about to get scammed by a miner </i>was pounding through Cyclo's head. After breaking his lock on the Mackinaw to allow the pilot to take over the ship they both made their way to the station. <br />
<br />
Cyclo uttered a sigh of relief as a trade window popped up with 250 million worth of prize was transferred to his hangar. <br />
Cyclo Transferred 20% of the prize's worth in isk to the pilot and went on his way. The Dickwad Squad had made a friend today.<br />
<br />
Apparently There is Honor among thieves.<br />

<br />
As eager as I was, nothing excuses my next <a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/40759995/" target="_blank">embarrassing fuck up</a>. I had found another Rettie and scanned it down, it had <i>some</i> tank<i> </i>but nothing that my current 600 DPS couldn't chew through, I set up a warp in and got straight to work, overheated and just as I broke armour CONCORD slapped me on my ass and told me to move on, rudely. I was a bit confused because I knew I had 13 Seconds in a 0.5 System, after checking around some shit I realised I just ganked a Rettie in the same belt as my last gank, CONCORD were already sitting in the belt before I started.<br />
<br />
Let this be a lesson to anyone that is stupid enough to read my shitty blog, check your surroundings and always be aware, you never know what might be lying around.<br />
<br />
As embarrassed as I was I didn't want to end the night on a sour note so I jumped in another Catalyst and started scouting the belts for more targets - this time I checked for CONCORD as well.. after a while I hopped system and found another Retriever, I suited up scanned that bitch down and found his extremely powerful tank.. a civilian shield booster.<br />
<br />
I warped Dexter in at 0 and started pounding the Rettie. Remember that extremely powerful tank I mentioned earlier? The pilot didn't touch it - Miners, don't fit active tanks if you're just gonna AFK. Soon enough the Rettie was crushed into dust, as was the unfortunate miner's pod.<br />

After a little bit of looking around I found a target, a small fleet of miners, specificity a Retriever. I got the Venture up nice and close, gave a few scans to the Retriever which I found to have absolutely no tank whatsoever, which is interesting, like holy crap, how hard is it to slap a few fucking mods on a barge..<br />
<br />
I undocked Dexter in a Catalyst and warped to my alt at the Catalyst's optimal and pre-heated my two groups of guns, I am using two groups of guns because of my shitty fitting skills, so don't ask questions. I actually forgot to set my safety to red because I have multiple retardations but an earlier bump from my Venture saved the day, as soon as I got my safety sorted I <i>fucked shit up</i> and the Rettie popped in a matter of seconds, I didn't go for the pod because I can't afford to lose the Sec-status at the moment.<br />

I quickly swapped back to my alt who we shall call Riddick, and scooped loot. I made around 6,000,000 ISK from the loot which wasn't a profit but who gives a fuck, this haughty miner scum attempted to mine without a Permit! As I am no CODE Agent I was unable to assist him in that matter, but maybe it will make the arrogant bear think twice about mining without a permit. </div>

Kill of the week goes to Cyclo Hexanol for his amazing effort under duress to take down this <a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/40697423/" target="_blank">Special Edition Mammoth.</a> Cyclo truly is a master of unfair PvP.<br />

We couldn't find any action until Cyclo got 'trapped' in station by a Myrm, he was 14 jumps out in Vylade - I decided I'd make the trip out and see what we could do. The 14 Jumps didn't take nearly as long as I thought it might, before long I was waiting on gate for the call, as was Anne.<br />
<br />
Cyclo undocked and warped to the sun, the Myrm took the bait and followed him straight there, as soon as Cyclo had point I jumped in and warped at my optimal - half way through warp Cyclo's trademark "Shit." echoed across comms, as I landed I was delighted to find 2 Myrms, 1 Megathron and 1 Blackbird - a little overkill for one Thorax but hey, each to there own.<br />
<br />
I basically peaced out as soon as I landed, no way we were even getting even with those odds.<br />

<br />
After a little bit of looking around Cyclo found a War target in Josameto, she was flying a Hurricane Fleet Issue which shouldn't be to much of a problem, so we set up the simplest trap we could think of, I sat on gate out of system and Cyclo baited out the Cane, she took the bait and I jumped in and warped to Cyclo, without much resistance <span style="color: #f1c232;"><a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/40645096/" target="_blank">pop went the Cane.</a></span><br />
<br />
We were still on the look out for more fights but most of the targets were starting to log off and we were about done for the night, just as we were about done Cyclo found the same pilot was back in System, he soon found her to be in a Hawk, something we weren't really geared to take down - I was determined to take it down however, I just didn't want to be kited. After a little fucking around on station I managed to get the Hawk to chase me towards the back of the station, as soon as she was over the undock I docked and undocked ontop of her, engaged, as she did, to my suprise she was not kite fit and fell into <span style="color: #f1c232;"><a href="https://zkillboard.com/kill/40645411/" target="_blank">a ball of firey death.</a> </span><br />
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
GF's were exchanged and I was done for the night, it was a productive and enjoyable night.Dexter Philipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14412679287569898057noreply@blogger.com0
