Moving along

Been thinking if I am a bully and if so, why? I make no distinctions between the pilots I chase and kill but the easiest to catch are the noobs. Some noobs has fought back well - many I suspect are alts of carebears mains. However, I like the thrill of the hunt more so than the kill - the feeling of anticipation as I move from belt to belt, planet to planet - trying to think how the target is thinking and using that against him.

Also, I love T1 frigates and throwing them against far 'superior' ships is a challenge that I crave for. However, I am not stupid or suicidal. I suspect Battlecruiser are probably the limit to what is doable. A hurricane or cyclone would be a fine test of the bleeder.

So, I decided to head into Metropolis for a bit - Eifer and the surrounds was getting a bit crowded for my liking so I moved through and into Metropolis via Arnstur.

Lots more corps here and one has to pick targets carefully too.

A fair few corps have established themselves in certain systems so I moved cautiously between the systems - the scanner open. I saw feroxes, ravens and other ship types so there were targets but nothing I could take on without an entire corp piling into my ass. I moved into Ualkin and once again, plenty in local. However, there was one pilot from a corp with no other corp mates. This is good.

I scanned him and figured out that he was in a thrasher but there were also battleships with him. I think they were all ratting together. I waited until someone left and after five minutes the thrasher moved out of scan range. This was good - all the pilots were in my half of the system. So I hit the jump drive and went to the furthest planet and commenced scanning. Found the thrasher first time and decided to seize the opportunity. No time like the present.

Checking ammo levels were ok, I pushed the punisher into the warp tunnel and preceded to the belt where I hoped the thrasher was waiting for me. It was there as I thought it would be. However, I landed short so I had to fly over with the afterburner screaming away to close the distance. It had spotted me and decided to target me - it was a thrasher after all and designed to take out frigates like myself. Thats fine for me!!!

We engaged and I pwned.

An hour later, I was patrolling the area again (this time passing through Evati) when I spotted a lone punisher in a belt. I figured, what the hell so i leapt in with the Bleeder. This one was poorly fitted but he was a noob after all. I killed and podded him but he wanted to chat. So, being bored - I allowed him through into the IDP channel.

He was not happy and proceeded to give me a load of verbal about being a miner-killer etc etc. Well, I did point out to him that he was in low-sec and thus, not free from being molested. He obviously thought I was a griefer as he posed no threat to me. This I agreed was true and therefore more reason for me to take him out. He ended the conversation with the classic: " run into a wall and die!" then signed off.

Ach.

OK, I admit - am a bastard but I did enjoy the kill. Decided to head back home and dock up - maybe even change ships.

I managed to snag two more rifter kills in the punisher before signing off.
