Joining Soldiers of Solitude

Our small band of misfits has joined a small alliance of misfits. The alliance is a mix of mission runners and pvpers. I have already led a few bands into lowsec against Dark Solar Empire. I'm not sure why but it seems none of them ever want to fight. Not a good attitude to have if you live in lowsec....

Anyhow, night 1 was useless. We roamed Mai area in Retribution, Incursus, Merlin, and Rifter. We were obviously asking to get popped and even then we couldn't get a fight. Aside from my Retribution, we had crap dps.

Night 2 was much more successful. With the same crew, we went to Saikkamon area and after an hour of not being able to goad any Dark Solar folks out, we caught a 15 day old character in an ice belt with his Vexor. He was able to warp out before Brandkuiken could lock him down. Bummed, we hung around the belt for a bit and lo and behold, he came back! Apparently he had actually been looking for a fight and was already mid warp when we first warped in. The fight started and the Vexor focused his drones and fire on Brand in his "Hero Rifter" as we have come to call it. The Vex was sporting some major armor for a ship in his class and I had to pop on weapon overload to finish him quickly.

The damage to my weapons and energy transfer came out to about 138k isk. The funny thing is, the loot the Vex dropped came out out a cut of 140k isk for me haha. Looks like I am 2k richer and 1 more kill. Probly not worth the big security drop but still fun. Last night was supposed to be Dessy raid night but I was pooped and went to bed at 9:00. Hopefully tonight we can catch some more folks off guard.
