Eager for revenge

Eager for revenge I limped home and got into my Rupture and went hunting - checking that I had a full load of EMP M shells. I went back into Eifer and waited, hungry for some kills. Any kills.

I had to rat to keep the boredom levels down and was about to dock up when another ruppie came into local.

Score.

I had some bad experiences of a rupture - they are slow but they pack a damn hard punch and can shred most ships with alarming ease. I had lost the first rupture to a cyclone.

Vyndal was a six-month pilot and still with RMS. Looks like a slow learner. Using the scanner, I flicked through the various systems and there: he was in Belt 2, IV. Hitting the warp button, the rupture crawled into warp - not like the trusty rifter that leaps into the warp, as if eager for the kill.

The journey through the warp gave me time for system check and when I came out of warp - I spotted Vyndal. On came the scrambler but man, the lock time on the rupture is painfully slow when compared to the rifter. However, the enemy's rupture was equally slow to escape and the 1pt was sufficient to nail him. I hit the AB and slammed the cruiser into a closer, more destructive orbit. Once under 10KM both the NOS and the web came on and when I was within 5KM - the utterly destructive 425mm autocannons spoke.

The EMP shells screamed across the void and ate his shields then his armour - all 3+K of it (I assume). Vyndal fought back with havoc heavy missiles but he was using long range artillery pieces that had trouble tracking even the slow rupture.

He was into hull and I then let out my drones (had forgotten!) which proved to much for him. I tried to snag the pod but Vyndal got away.

He called me an asshole and that I should watch out for him.

Whatever. Bring it on.

Fell into a trap....yarrr

Eifer was thick with peeps and I had just missed a mark in Gusandall. I had plenty of time to lock on a rifter but each time I managed to get him, the targetting computer lost the ship. I think it may because I had activated the warp scrambler before the lock. However, doing this with the guns should not be a problem.

Anyway, I saw lots of rifters in local and one rupture and a number of capsules. Looks like a free-for-all in there. I jumped into the top belt and saw a DoomGuard rifter with Zorgluba. It smelt like a trap as Rak was caught like this before. I didn't care and engaged - Zor had a magnificient shield tank that held on for what felt like an age. I was already down to 50% before his shield was breached. However when it was, his armour peeled off quickly.

The delay was enough though - he had a small NOS that did the business on me as my cap was dangerously low.

Then, they sprung the trap and rupture came screaming in: piloted by Korrelean. He x2 med noss'ed me and kicked my ass. I concentrated on the rifter and saw it enter hull - however, the writing was already on the wall for me and the Ruppie blew me to pieces. The 6million isk bounty on me was a tasty target for them but I had already insta-warped as my pod entered space.

It was a good fight - a real rush but I lost my rifter with only one pod kill to my name.

Next time.

Yarrr.

More Kill Rights

My KillRights on me is getting longer....

Kill, Kill, Kill

Not that I am a bloodthirsty person but I like a good fight. The Independence channel now has four persons in it. I have another three that I am chatting to who like the idea it stands for.

So back to Eifer and this time Shaji was back. A good pilot and wasted camping the Eurgrana system.

He popped a rifter from another anti-pie crew in Gusandall. Good kill.

Back to Eifer and it was busy - I waited for Rak as he was finishing off some food but I spotted a two-day noob in a breacher. There were plenty of other peeps in local and some from Doom Guard. I smelt like a trap but decided it was time to spring it.

I scanned Renat down to two belts and rolled the dice - I guessed right exploding out of warp, 13km from Renat's breacher. I snapped on the warp scrambler and braced myself for a swarm of frigates to appear around me. This is what happened to Rakanas last night.

Renat was obviously startled as he tried to run but I was now close enough to him to hit the frigate with a webber and this snared him tight. I opened up with my new 150mm autocannons (including a T2 version loaded with Barrage) and one volleyed the ship.

A beautiful ring of debris and fire ensued - with me popping his pod to be sure that he clears local. Can't be giving out intel now can I?

Revivor was also in the Independence channel and he was having a great time in Covryn. Might have to join him sometime.

Rakanas then joined me and we had a hunt around for a vigil - Rak managed to get close three times and scrambled him but then lost his lock. Am sure the vigil had ECM fitted. I never got close but if only both of us appeared - a double-lock would be hard to break.

An hour or so, we split up and I probed a belt around Eifer IV and was ambushed by two rifters. They caught me by surprise and both rifters managed to get me to armour before I could re-acquire. My heart hammering and mouth dry, I locked and webbed the first rifter. It was piloted by Natascha Nasty (RMS) and I let her ship have it. The second rifter I left alone, even though it's missiles were ripping my shields and armour off in chunks. I managed to get Nastascha Nasty's rifter down to hull as I entered hull. The malkuth rocket launcher spat death and the last rocket smashed into her hull. I didn't have time to snag her pod but switched to the second rifter, piloted by Erzsebet Bathori (RMS) - who was at full shield and armour. I was down to hull (65%).

I snagged her with the webber slowing it down and opened up, armour repping as my cap bled out. I managed two cycles before the cap was gone but it repaired my armour to 99%. It would do as my EMP and BARRAGE autocannon shells knocked her shields - I could see them flaring off as it absorbed the destructive energies of my guns. Soon she was in armour and I grinned like a terran wolf as I ate into her armour. I could taste victory but I had to hurry: local was filling up quicker than a cheap bar in downtown Rens after a speedball derby. Something must have snapped in Erzsebet as her autocannon shots were going wild - only her missiles were hitting me. Down to 10% hull and I howled in delight as the last barrage shell bored through her weakening hull and into her pod.

She died with a squish. What a rush.

Killed by a stabber but oh, so close...

Not satisfied with merely pod kills I wanted something meatier. Rak had returned from his trip in Placid and we decided to go hunting. Also, I decided to setup a loose group of likely minded pilots who could work together without the overhead of corp standings and alliance standings.

The grouping is called 'independence' and encapsulates what I want in EVE: freedom to go wherever, do whatever, to whomever and whenever'.

Gobbels from Rukongai was in local in Eifer ratting with a colleague. I scanned him down and jumped in; delighting in seeing them scatter as a -10 red blinkie popped into existence amongst them. With plasma trailing off me, I gunned the beautiful rifter towards Gobbels and unleashed the emp rounds from the venerable 150mm autocannons. His shields flashed a few times as he shield boosted but emp is designed to rip through shielded systems. I hit his armour and was tempted to switch to the hardy hitting fusion but it was enough. Gobbels' rifter shuddered under the impact of more autocannon shells and eventually his hull cracked open.
In the confusion, Yojik also hit him while going after me as well!

Killed the pod of Gobbels but Yojik ran.

By this time Rak was in local and we wanted more. Two rifters can do an awful lot of damage and can tackle anything up to a well tanked cruiser.

We had spotted Rai Deo from RLE in his stabber in Eifer and hunted him but he eluded us time and time again. Finally, we chased him down to Gusandall and we engaged. His stabber was webbed and scrambled and I started to smash apart his shields. Rai Deo however had a medium nos on me and soon my cap was dry - not enough to run the webber, scrambler or afterburner. Once he started to hit me with his medium autocannons, I had no juice left to power the armour repairer either.

Damn.

However, I didn't run as I knew that Rak was still okay and hitting Rai Deo as I was. His armour tank went and was in hull just as I entered hull. I started to really sweat as 1/3 of his shots hit me but when they did - more of my precious hull was being blown off the increasingly unstable frame of the rifter. Rak was doing a superb job with continuing to scramble Rai and hitting him. I knew Rai's dilemma: should he continue to fire on me and let Rak hit him or switch targets and go after Rak - even though his stabber was close to dying?

I was down to 10% hull and on fire with Rai close behind. I toyed with the idea of quickly warping out and then back in but decided without consulting Rak - that it would be unfair. I stuck it out and made sure that Rai was focusing on me. His last round smashed into the mid-section of the rifter and cut my beautiful ship in half. It soon spat out the pod, as I came out - Rai's stabber also exploded and his pod was out.

Rak tried to snag it but he instawarped out. I decided to warp out as well and just as I did - Lucius Cain came in after me and Rakanas pwned his ass.

Pod Kills

Came back a day or so later. I had some RL stuff to take of. My part-time partner in crime Rakanas was off wandering around Covryn so the Triangle was left for me to patrol and pilfer. I jumped into Eifer, having done it so often I have started to recognise the star systems with my own eye.

Rak had scored a few good kills in Cov so this got my blood up for some kills.

Eifer was heavy with anti-pirates, mainly Doom Guard pilots basing themselves out of Emol'. I switched on the scanner and checked local. I warped to a planet and froze - there was a pod there. It was about 60Km and floated there so I approached it with my eyes glued on the scanner. Could be a trap.

I orbitted at 10KM and conv'ed the pilot. He didn't respond so I thought to myself 'why not?' and popped the capsule.

Utterly bizarre behaviour as I know she was in a thrasher a few minutes ago and moving between belts.

The Doom Guard made hunting difficult with some brushes but nothing too significant. I docked up at Gusandall and got something to eat.

Later in the evening I saw someone from Blue Line corp in a rifer - I leapt at the opportunity and engaged his rifter after a quick scan. Unfortunately, he had also aggro'ed an angel wrecker and it was this rat that got the kill mail. I snagged the pod and also blew up the Angel.

Gaberuan did not say a word as I blew his pod apart.

Hunting these two

Hunting these two was fun but never did get them - they ss'ed each time. I think they are two accounts run by the same pilot....

Shinigami Minikill and others.

A quick patrol in the afternoon found me in local with one Shinigami Minikill - she was in a rifter and was ratting though she didn't run and hide when I was in local. Not that I am big headed but I had this feeling that she was waiting for me and to give me some payback. Fair enough. I was more than willing to oblige.

Whipping open the scanner I narrowed her down to a single belt and making sure that local was clear apart from Shini and I, the rifter then warped to the belt. I checked ammo levels and was satisfied that the EMP rounds will be more than enough.

Bleeding plasma trails, I screamed out of warp and the sweet, sweet white square bracket appeared in my overview. She was there and wasn't ratting but waiting for me. I gunned the rifter and checked the distance: 17km. On came the scrambler and I rapidly closed the distance, my heart hammering hard now as I mentally prepared myself. She re-targetted too and closed the distance. We passed each other, guns blazing - she had a missile launcher and hit me with tigerclaw missiles but all three of my autocanons and one rocket launcher were scoring hits - her shields were stripped off in one volley and her armour was more or less blasted off in the second. Don't undersestimate the 150mm autocannon Tech 1 - especially when backed up with frigate V and surgical strike V!

Her hull exploded and her pod popped out free, I snagged it and killed her. There was no chat in local.

Later on in the evening - i logged back in having spotted Hobolt in the afternoon. I decided I would take a crack at him and started to hunt him down. Local in Gusandall was very busy with some quite funny smack. Redblack Freitas being the vocal one:

Redblack Freitas > ooooooooo

Niraven > /emote faints
Silver Limited > /emote faints
Lorna Green > /emote faints... comes round.. then faints again
tigerduck1 > /emote lubes up the fainted corp members

Anyway, it was funny but I wanted Hobolt and in the midst of all these T2 cruisers and frigates, our brave rifter pilot was out and I had to admit, was impressed by his Chutzpah for doing so. Still, he was to fall to my guns nonetheless.

I caught Hobolt at a belt picking through some remains: he was 30KM away and I had to make a snap decision: BM his position and come back or gun the afterburner and close the distance. I did the latter and prayed he would not warp out. He didnt as I got within 20KM I had him scrambled. He tried to run but couldn't. My Autocannons spat death and his frigate blossomed in a lovely cloud of fire and debris. My shields sparking as bits of his craft hit them. Since local was so busy, I had no choice but to pop him.

I quickly safespotted and waited out the global flag. Once it was gone, my flying acquitance, Rakanas was in Eifer and I joined him. In local was also Markosjas (i popped him a month ago) and a few others. It looked like Rak and I were hunting everyone else that night and they were hunting us and them. I was to prove to be a glorious free for all.

There was also a stabber in local piloted by Gyoud. I wanted another stabber killmail so went hunting for him, at the same time that Rak was hunting for Markosjas. A fifth pilot (Prasolitka in a rifter) was also looking for us. Add in Redblack Frietas in his curse and you can see it was going to be an interesting night.
Cat and mouse for a while as each pilot jockeyed for position and it was game on when Redblack left local. 15 minutes later, I spotted Prasolikta engaging Rak. Also, Markosjas had jumped in engaging Rak. I warped in just as Gyoud was there. What a lovely mess!

I targetted and scrambled Gyoud's stabber and proceeded to pummel him. His shields disappeared quick and with my webber on him, he was going down. He then warped out. I blinked hard: damn, he had at least on stab on.


Not wasting time, I targetted Prasolitka - who was being hit by Rak. She exploded and I snagged her pod and killed her. We needed to clear local a bit.

Rupture Ass Kicking......mine.

Logged on for an hour and met up with Rakanas. We tracked a rupture down to Auren and engaged it. Bad communication and horrible performance on my laptop meant that we attacked singlely.

The rupture was tough with drones that killed the rifters. I got out with 25% hull while Rakanas was taken down.

Drones need to be targetted first. Always.

Hunting with Rakanas

I logged on briefly and saw Rakanas in local - he was happy that he had x2 kills; one being Lucius Cain in his rifter. We spotted Xooll in local and he was in a hurricane....so we went for him.

Rakanas got there first but he was down to hull very quickly. I arrived just as Rakanas and Xool both warped out. Xooll should have stayed put and fought it out. Two rifters versus a Tier-3 Battlecruiser. Sheesh.

Xool should not have bugged out.

My first bounty collection

After popping Seraph, she chatted to me from her recloning vat. She understood that her setup was not optimal so I was more than happy to guide her through it.

My global flag was gone and I decided to head back towards home. In Gusandall however, there was another pilot who I had spotted earlier in the day: Khaled Urduni. The bio was informative and he had a small bounty.

I thought it would be a hoot to track him down though Madman5222 was also in local and also in a rifter. Not bothering who I took, I scanned and it was clear that Madman5222 was in a safe spot while Khaled was ratting in a rifter and was in one of two belts.

Deciding that he would be probably finishing the first belt, I sat at the safe spot scanning for wrecks and waiting for the right moment to ambush him. Best to get them when they are in the middle of something - the second it takes for them to make a decision (shall I leave this loot or not?) is usually enough for me.

Once again, i could feel the adrenanline pumping through my system as my rifter warped towards the target. The ship seemed to feel my eager anticipation and leapt out of warp. The overview flashed yellow as Khalid appeared 12KM away. He also had a bounty and targetted me almost as soon as I targetted him. It was game on.

I scrambled him to be sure as my afterburner ate up the distance. He started to hit me with his T2 200mm autocannons so it was going to be a challenge. Luckily, he didn't have a webber so once within 10KM, I webbed him and slammed the rifter into a 2KM orbit. He then started to Nos me but it didn't worry me none. I found using the Nos on a rifter is useless as one can't really tank.

We ripped each other's shields off in seconds but I was hitting harder and deeper each time. He was into hull while I was still at 35% armour. My T1 150 scouts versus his T2 200mm autocannons. I had more DPS as the rocket launcer was adding to the damage as opposed to his small NOS.

I whooped as his armour peeled off under the fusiliade of fire from the trusty 150mm autocannons (God I love 'em) and he was into hull.....but still armour tanking too. I decided to finish this and hit approach to try and ram him and make sure that the last salvos didn't miss.

He hull cracked, venting atmosphere and his pod popped out. I was ready and snagged it and without even bothering to conv' - i sent a few EMP rounds into it. There was a most satisfying squish and his flash frozen body appeared in space.

His loot was ok: two T2 200mm autocannons survived the fight but he lost his small armour repairer II.

It was a good fight and I collected the 250K bounty that was on his head. Waiting another 15 minutes for the global flag to expire; I reflected that it was a good day hunting after all.

For your termination of Khaled Urduni we have paid you the bounty that was

After the MadMan....

It was proving to be a slow day as my hunting grounds appeared to be getting a bit crowded so I pushed out further and got into The Forge. I realised that Paala was only another 2 jumps away and then I would be into the new 0.0 space. Possible rich pickings for me?

However, an acquitance appeared in my public channel and from the conversation; the triangle had quietened down somewhat and he was hunting. I performed a u-turn and hit the afterburner to make my way home.

I entered Eifer as per normal and spied the usual suspects and offered to gang with Rakanas so we could hunt together. A fruitless 30 minutes and I logged for a bit.

Coming back, Rakanas had a kill to his name - a slasher and I just missed a rifter in Ingunn. My blood was now starting to boil up: I was determined to get at least one kill before logging. Quick jumps into the triangle systems and I landed back in Eifer.

It was busy and a fair few Black Fleet pilots flying around.

So I waited. A hunter needs to be patient after all. Soon, local started to thin out as both Black Fleet and Obsidian left Eifer leaving about six in local. With my trusty scanner open I jumped to a scan spot and started my search. The results were encouraging: x2 rifters and a thrasher.

All appeared to be ratting and I spied the thrasher to be the closest. Checking ammo levels and shields I narrowed it down to two belts and chose one. Hitting warp my heart was thumping again and as I popped out of warp; I made sure the overview was set to kill mode.

Nothing.

Must be in the other belt. I hit warp again and prayed that the thrasher pilot was too busy ratting.

Exiting warp was a tab slower and my heart beat faster - it usually slows down a fraction as it needs to load in extra details....such as ship details of my prey. Bursting out of warp I whooped in savage joy as I saw the wonderful, white square appear in the overview. My rifter took a couple of seconds to orientate itself and get a fix on its location - I had already hit my afterburner and was slamming my way towards the thrasher. Piloted by Seraph McSobel from the 'Tim Finnegan Corp'. No idea who it was and I didn't care. I was 17KM away and hit the scrambler straight away.

Seraph had started to target me already and started to hit me when I was 11KM. At 10KM the webber went on and at 7KM I unleashed my three autocannons and rocket launcher. 'Fly my beauties' I thought as I saw the EMP rounds zip their way towards the thrasher.

My shields were going down but not as fast as Seraph's. I hit a tight orbit and made sure the capacitor was ok. Can't run the scrambler for too long and I might have to toggle it off. However, Seraph didn't have a webber and from the sound of her guns - it appeared she had artillery units instead of autocannons.

Sweet.

My EMP rounds ripped her shields open and punched holes into her armour. Blood lust was on me. I was not going to stop.

She was into structure and I prepared to snag her pod. There was a big boom, debris pinging off my still functioning shields as I locked and then scrambled her pod. God I love the Rifter!
I was going to ransom but local had suddenly leapt to 12 so I popped her body and looted her wreck.

The adrenanline rush is intense. I love it.

-10

I woke up this morning and checked my Concord security rating. I blinked once to make sure I am not seeing things.

I have hit -10.0

That's it; no lower than this and I better avoid ratting!

Hurray!!!

Time to kill more innocent peeps.

The Rifter - what a fucking good ship...

A quick kill

He was already down to hull to x2 Angel cruisers. He pops and I snag the pod and kill him.

Killing them at work

Was at work and was bored so decided to see what I could hunt and yes, the Gods were kind. I left Gusandall and entered Eifer. Only Markosjas in local and I jumped to my safe spot - scanning spot and located Markosjas. His Concord approved bio didnt show me much but I could see he was in a stabber. A deadly and fast minmater cruiser. Wasn't too sure if the ol' rifter could handle it but since Markosjas was only 9 days out of Pod school; I decided to chance it. Maybe he would panic and I could kill him.

My scanning skills have sped up and I can located a prey in a belt within a tens of seconds and Markosjas was in belt IV. Like always, my heart quickens and my vision sharpens and tunnels down to the view screen. Attention on the hunt and kill.

The rifter leaps into warp and I do a final system check - ensuring that my ACs have ammo and rocket launcher also. No armour damage and shield recharged. I pop out of warp 6.5KM from Markosjas who had just dispatched the last Angel raider. I lock and hit the scrambler and my tactical updates with the stabber's shield and armour status. Markosjas was at 90% shield and his armour untouched. However, I had the element of surprise and within seconds of locking had started to unleash fire at him. The EMP rounds eat his shields and I am into his armour by the third salvo. Markosajas had overcome his shock and began to target back and hit me with a flameburst missile, the rifter shaking under the impact. I hit the afterburner to increase my speed as well as adjusting the orbit. The ACs do their work and soon he is down to armour. Markosjas yells in local to stop. I ransom him for a measly 500K but continue to take him down to hull. He doesn't pay after 30seconds and I tell him he has another 10s. I continue to fire to make my point.

It appears he cant pay due to his newbie status: so shrugging I blow his ship up and pod him as well.

However, we do chat after he reclones. He is a bit stung and hurt but is good enough about it. I offer him some tips - such as stick to rifters and frigates for now.

Spunky Kid

Okay so the Americanism in the title is not too funny for Brits. Back to Gusandall and I undock in my rupture thinking that I could get myself some bigger fish tonight but I see a Mean Corp pilot (call sign: General Problem) sitting right outside the station in a sacrilege. He sees me and targets me and alpha strikes my ass. Down to armour almost in the first volley. Luckily, I didn't panic and redocked.

Not too worried, I switched to the rifter and undocked and before he could even lock - I was gone and heading towards Hrondedir.

Entering the system, I see plenty of targets. Rifters mainly. However, there were other ships: cruisers and such flying around and i knew they would go for me if I ambushed anyone. I noticed one pilot leave local and took an educated guess and moved to the next system. I was right. Rakanas was there in his rifter so I scanned and went for him. Arriving out of warp the belt was empty; scanned and warped and again empty. Okay, Rakanas was in a SS. I scanned and warped and spotted him in the overview midway through the warp: basically he had dropped a BM midway from warping from Belt 1 to 2. I tried to do the same but landed still too far.

He laughed in local but we chatted and he offered me a 1 v 1. Hmmm; second one in as many days. His rifter was called 'Tanker' and he boasted that it cost him 2million isk. This pod pilot was just out of the academy for a day - where the hell did he get his money from?

Anyway, we agree a location and warp there.

I arrived a second before he did and as he exited warp: I hit the AB to close the distance and hit the scrambler and webber. My three 150mm autocanons spat out the EMP and the rocket launcher shot out the gremlins. He fired back too - hitting quite hard but i wasn't webbed or even scrambled. First thought was that he was shield tanking and with me using the trusty EMP rounds; he was toast.

However, his shield tank was good - even when he was down to 20% armour he could still regenerate shields. My EMP rounds however made the difference and soon his hull was breached and it was all over.

I snagged the pod and asked him if he wanted to be PK'ed. He wanted a quick trip home so I obliged. Rakanas will turn out to be a good pirate - he has the right attitude.

Tech2 Noobs

Was idling in a safespot when another target came into system. I scanned him and saw that he was in a rifter. I know I can take on most rifters without much problem so was hoping this was no exception. I scanned him and jumped to the first belt: nope, he isnt there. Scanned again and find him in the last belt. I hit the warp drive and jumped. Target was 14days old but with the change in Revelations; starting chars have way more skill points now.

I landed 8KM away from Revivor who promptly webbed and scrambled me. Looks like he was waiting for me. I did like wise and it was fight on! I knocked him down to armour
but he was taking chunks out of me. When he finally went pop, I discovered why: tech 2 autocannons. My god, a 14 day char with enough skills and cash for T2 kit?

He fought well and amazingly; i did not pod him. He promised to come back with a T2 small repper and it would be round 2. Bring it on i say.

Kill Rights

Kill rights are stacking up on me. Oh well. This is partly due to the hitting power of the rifter - almost the best T1 frigate for alpha striking another T1 frigate. Cant tank though and if the fight lasts more than two minutes, I am thinking about leaving. The punisher looks nice, Malka's Bleeder setup looks very nice but I am waiting for Amarr Frigate V before I go hunting in it.

25% armour resistance to all types!

Eifer and surrounding areas.

My sec status has dropped down to -9.9 and I am aiming to get the magic -10.0 I reckon it will take about 100+ kills though.

I have made Eifer / Gusandall my new base of operations. Plenty of targets from 1-day old noobs to 1 year vets who really should know better.

Latest victim was a dozy 3-day pilot who was mining plagioclase when I ambushed her. She was in a reaper and popped in a single volley. Not much of a challenge to be honest but a kill is a kill.

A helping hand

So I was crusing around and located Crovelian. Seen him a few time and discovered he was in a vexor. Normally, I would avoid drone boats but he was almost fresh out of Pod School so I chanced it.

Found him in a belt with five Hammerhead drones around him: not good - medium drones eat frigates but I thought: 'what the hell'.

I hit the afterburner and before scramble range - Crovelian panicked and warped out leaving his drones. I scooped them up and reprogrammed them so that I could use them. Ahhh - what better irony eh?

Crovelian then jumped me in Hrondedir after realising that in a vexor he could take me. Well I obliged and opened up on and got him down to armour in two volleys before his drones could lock onto me. However, when they did - I was in danger of hull breach within 15 seconds. I should have picked off his drones but decided to warp out as I wanted another pilot I had spotted.

Later in the evening, WayCharles conv'ed me. It appeared he wanted to test out his rifter setup and asked me for a test 1v1. Am always wary of these offers but he seemed quite genuine.

So we met up at Bundindus and I ripped him a new one. I stopped before 50% armour and we chatted for a while on setups. Nice chap and I gave him my word that he is offlimits for 7 days from me.

Aren't I generous?

Still flushed from podding Tekkusbrand I cruised the triangle (as I call it) and lo and behold a Thrasher pilot. After tangling with Viseris in his Thrasher; I was a bit wary but decided that, as a reaver - death should hold no fear for me.

I scanned him down to a belt and checked that he was ratting. Confirming that he was, I hit the warp drive and landed 7.9km away. Perfect. Scrambler went on and webber and unleashed merry hell on him.

His thrasher (one of the best destroyers in the game) fell apart as my 150mm AC carved him up. He didn't conv in local or ask for a ransom but fought back....with arties.

Ach - fell to a thrasher

The pickings were slim and I just got back from vacation so with my blood up I went hunting. Spotted a thrasher ratting in Eifer and went for him but he warped out. Picking up some intel made me think he was an easy target so I tracked him to Hrondedir where i ambushed him.

Mistake. i got cocky and he had T2 ACs installed unlike the other thrasher noobs. This destroyer was set up to kill and main rifters. My ship was a smoking ruin within a few seconds: i could have warped out but stuck it in there. Result: Rifter go BOOM.

Goonswarm

Invictvs was hunting others with his goonswarm buddies but he got split up and ended up in Gusandall. He was ratting and appeared to be surprised when I sprang out of warp on him His thrasher fit was poor: arties. Not good against a rifter bent on your destruction.

Ransom Alpha couldn't touch me as amazingly he didnt have any drones or other anti-frigate defence. As soon as I started into his shield I just knew that I was going to pwn him. He started yacking in local how this wasn't his PvP character etc etc. But it was too late. I wanted a rupture kill in my rifter.

I also wanted his pod.

Trapped and almost killed

Ach another day, another victim.

This time me.

Lucius and I were hunting and came back empty handed to Gusandall when we spotted an ares from RLE. I smelt like a trap to be honest but I nipped over there to check it out. Nothing - as I was leaving the Ares appeared and scrambled me. Oh dear.

The punisher re-acquired and I let loose and managed to strip the ares of its shields and started to eat into its armour. However, this is the infamous 'bleeder' setup so it was designed to outlast CRUISERS and not take down nippy interceptors in one or two volleys.

Local filled up just as Lucius warped into my belt - he was soon followed by a brutix, a thorax and a stabber.

Oops.

Famed Bleeder tank or not, the punisher lasted another 8 seconds before the pod popped out. My crew all died. They didnt get the pod though and I managed to get out.

Soon after, a deimos piloted by Xavoc came in and took all four on. He destroyed the Brutix while the other RLE pilots ran away.

I had to lick my wounds and wait.

Gah.

A nice mark.

After a good night's rest, I logged in back in - already the need for a kill was growing. I wanted to kill someone. Strapping into the rifter it was time. I patrolled and within a jump - spotted Ms Insomnia. She was ratting but I missed her first time. She and I played cat and mouse over the next hour or so. Chatting and warping. I knew that if I kept her talking I could take advantage of her mistake. She finally did.

The locked and scrambled her and then webbed her after slamming my afterburner into the red. She had a heck of a shield tank but the EMP rounds chewed through it. My shield was gone already to her missiles but her arties were useless against me. I continued to pummel her armour and then hull as my autocannons spat death. All she could reply while webbed was use her missile launcher at me.

Her rifter shuddered and then cracked wide open as the last of my EMP round penertrated her reactor.

I snagged her pod too. That was a good kill.

Killed the father, now the son.

Was I sleepy? Hell no. Adrenanline was coursing through me and making my blood sing. I wanted more.

I switched to the rupture for a change and went to Eifer. I saw jpaqir - the son of Paqman from a few days ago. Son or no. He was going to die. I had Faith No More playing and beer in my hand. Die. Die. Die.

paqman > ya but the hit points semm low
flashfresh > I want you guys to enjoy yourselves. I am not a griefer but I hunt other players.
flashfresh > ahh - frigates always have low hit points BUT they are hard to hit
paqman > hey man we love it so far
paqman > and thanks for the help
flashfresh > you are not meant to go toe-to-toe with other ships.
paqman > what about the power and cpu limit
flashfresh > you use your speed to avoid enemy fire and even if they hit; it does less if you're going fast.
flashfresh > PG and CPU? a bit limited but with the right skills you should be ok.
paqman > so get afterburners
flashfresh > Yes.
flashfresh > Can I recommend something to you? There's a player I know who can help you.
paqman > sure anything that will help
flashfresh > votrian alpha -> drop him an evemail. This guy runs a corp. A good one and he taught me almost all I know.
flashfresh > He can help you. He runs tutorials for free.
paqman > great

flashfresh > When your free trail sub is up - think about applying to join his guys.
paqman > there is some stuff onlinebut it seems limited

flashfresh > they're a collective. v little corp rules.

Santana Dark

Flushed and elated I was about to retire but decided to do one more circuit of the triangle. Sotrenzur is the home or hangout of MEAN CORP so pickings would be slim but this time, there were some strangers there. I spotted two rifters and scanned them down to two belts. My heart thumping in anticipation, I warped on top of Santana Dark's rifter.

He was a +1 year vet and he died horribly.

Santana Dark > fuck you fag i'm coming back with my battle cruiser

Whatever.......

Happy New Year!

So it was 2007 and I was still logged on. Couldn't stop and the number of pilots logged into eve hadn't gone down.

Needed to claim the first kill of 2007 before I retire. I swept the triangle and saw Keel in local. Have seen him a few times but he always slipped away. This time, there was no escape. I waxed him.

Keel Gaffrig > somehow i knew that was going to happen ha ha
flashfresh > well u undocked *just* when I was undocking
Keel Gaffrig > nope
flashfresh > i was going to head somewhere else.
Keel Gaffrig > all in good fun
flashfresh > indeed.
flashfresh > here let me give you some monies. you had some nice mods
flashfresh > You put up a v v good fight
Keel Gaffrig > hey thanks alot
flashfresh > and I appreciate the zero smack
flashfresh > what was your setup?
flashfresh > I can guess
Keel Gaffrig > happy newyear
Keel Gaffrig > 3 ACs, rockets
flashfresh > yeah me too
Keel Gaffrig > web -
flashfresh > uh-huh
Keel Gaffrig > ammor - small rep II
flashfresh > yeah and a cap recharger?
Keel Gaffrig > yep
flashfresh > ahh - thats why you could tank.
flashfresh > check this out:
flashfresh > 2007.01.01 00:21:33 Combat Keel Gaffrig strikes you perfectly, wrecking for 103.3 damage.
Keel Gaffrig > and AB
flashfresh > WTF????
Keel Gaffrig > wow
flashfresh > that is a *HARD* hit
Keel Gaffrig > EMP
flashfresh > well done
flashfresh > me too.
flashfresh > but 100+ dam hit is a beauty
Keel Gaffrig > my second PVP fight
Keel Gaffrig > thanks
flashfresh > second?
flashfresh > please, please dont let this put you off!?!?!
Keel Gaffrig > yup
flashfresh > I was podded mercilessly for the first two months.
flashfresh > U had a small converse shield too.
Keel Gaffrig > no it was a good fight
flashfresh > hmm want some advice?
Keel Gaffrig > i had just gotten that from a rat
flashfresh > ah
flashfresh > energised basic?
flashfresh > damage control is a nice touch but you would have been better off with a 200mm plate
Keel Gaffrig > yes i think so
Keel Gaffrig > my ammor seemed to drop off quick
flashfresh > I had emp - which oddly does a lot of decent armour damage. Also using Tech II ammo in two of my guns
flashfresh > Hail S
flashfresh > they hurt
flashfresh > but like I said: 2007.01.01 00:21:33 Combat Keel Gaffrig strikes you perfectly, wrecking for 103.3 damage.
flashfresh > that is a mean ass hit.
flashfresh > took a big chunk out of me that hit did. check you own logs.
Keel Gaffrig > luck i think
flashfresh > put a gyrostabiliser in one of your lows
flashfresh > increase damage and ROF.
flashfresh > makes a difference
Keel Gaffrig > low - repper,gyro, 200mm plate ???
flashfresh > yup
Keel Gaffrig > i'll give it a try.
flashfresh > if you dont have a scramble - means you dont engage - just able to fight back
flashfresh > but adding in a cap recharger or a cap booster (better choice) means you can tank
flashfresh > also, drop down to 150mm ACs
Keel Gaffrig > sometime I use a booster - i don't know which is better
flashfresh > gives you room to fit a gyro and plate
flashfresh > booster
flashfresh > is better
Keel Gaffrig > ahhh
flashfresh > but uses up CPU and PG; hence requirement to drop down to 150mm ACs
Keel Gaffrig > close combat anyway
Keel Gaffrig > i bought a thrasher but am still using the rifter for most things
flashfresh > a rifter is probably the best frigate and it can take a thrasher
flashfresh > a rifter can knock out cruisers.
Keel Gaffrig > i agree
flashfresh > i use them all the time.
flashfresh > you did well Keel. Very well, much better than i ever did when I first started.
flashfresh > your setup is good - it surprised me cause you could tank.
Keel Gaffrig > thanks
flashfresh > no, i mean it. nothing to do with being a gracious victor or anything. You did well.
Keel Gaffrig > my last pvp i was pelted with missles and lost before i could get off a shot
flashfresh > what ship was it?
Keel Gaffrig > a crow i think
flashfresh > ahhhh - those things are right b*stards to take down
Keel Gaffrig > i was slow to target
flashfresh > i have a rifter rig set up to take down claws and crows though....
flashfresh > it would have been a rocket crow. short range.
flashfresh > let them come to *you*
Keel Gaffrig > yes
flashfresh > then web and tank him.
flashfresh > drop your AB for a webber / cap booster and out tank him. check out a crow's armour. hardly anything.
flashfresh > a rifter with a 200mm plate has 1000+ armour.
Keel Gaffrig > so no AB?
flashfresh > no - if the crow pilot is cocky, he'll get within webbing range
flashfresh > if you have an overdrive in your lows - you still have a base speed of 400+ m/s
flashfresh > enough to get close and pummel him
Keel Gaffrig > i see
flashfresh > *IF* he has missiles and starts to hit you from +10KM then warp out.
flashfresh > if you can
flashfresh > ahh - i want this pilot: Vak'ran
flashfresh > he is in local atm
flashfresh > in a rifter too
Keel Gaffrig > good luck
Keel Gaffrig > i'm off to do some celebrating
flashfresh > me too
flashfresh > am half drunk already
flashfresh > fly safe
Keel Gaffrig > lol
flashfresh > next time you could be podding me.
Keel Gaffrig > seeya
