Losing out in Gebuladi

Had to move between systems to see what else is around so Metropolis looked good and I jumped from Auga -> Dal and into Metropolis. The place is heavy with corps and ratters and I said to myself to hit the next ship I see.

I jump into Gebuladi and spot a RMS pilot. A quick scan reveals it to be piloting a cyclone battlecruiser. He was only 15 days old.

Deciding that one needs to risk a bit to yaarr I scanned him down to a belt and warped in. Heart thumping like mad (as per usual) I landed right on top of Dexion. Feck, the cyclone was BIG.

Not caring, I hit the scrambler and then webber.

I knew that this was going to be tough as he shields only went down by a fraction. He replied with a hail of light missiles that stripped me down to 50% armour before I even had a chance to repair. Damn.

Luckily Dexion didn't web me or scramble me or send his drones out - otherwise I would have been toast. I went down to 75% and distressingly, the cyclone was at 80% shield. Shit.

Judging that I had bitten off way more than I can chew; I warped to a safespot - my tail between my legs.

The conversation followed in local:
