Testing the Punisher Bleeder

Well, after losing the ruppie but overall - coming out on top due to loot and insurance I waited eagerly for my friend to dock. He was carrying three new rifters, fresh from his corp factories. Due to my, er, dubious security status - I need another means of obtaining goods in empire and this friend was one of the many avenues to me.

The rifters arrived in my hangar alongside more ammo and the first two punishers in my collection. I can pilot the ships of our eternal enemy and I respected their ships high resistances and armour. The punisher is one of the toughest frigates out there and I wanted to take advantage of it. I knew exactly what I wanted and then took it out for spin.

Since Auren was so much fun last time, I went back and yes - spotted a rifter in local. This guy was mine. The handling on the punisher was unfamiliar to me: it was slower than the rifter and seemed to take a fraction longer to lock however it was very, very solid. I scanned and located and warped and popped out of warp close enough to the rifter to scramble him. Now lets see how quickly the punisher can cover the 15KM odd distance between me and the target.

Once I got me teeth into it - the rifer was dead. The Pod Too.

Yaarrrr.

The punisher does not have the alpha strike capabilities of the rifter but what a tank and what a capacitor.
