Going For The Ultimate Gank

Well, all I am missing for a good gank is weapon overloading. I'm training energy mangement to 5 now (13 days bleh). Once I finish that, I can work my way to Thermodynamics 4 thus allowing me to complete a good pvp baddon setup. Once I can use overload, Ill move on to finishing out T2 large lasers and more damage skills like controleld bursts. Ahhh EVE is a game for the patient man.

Yay Heavy Dictors!

I got heavy interdictors finally today. I am days from interceptors and logistic ships but sadly I am going to have to put a week of training into torpedoes thanks to a new update by ccp that gives torpedo bonuses to stealth bombers rather than cruise missiles. I'm not too bummed though as Stealth Bombers are great ships for wormhole space. Fast, powerful, and stealthy.

Missioning in my Baddon

Oh what has the world come to. I am wasting a beautiful Abaddon on missions. Oh well, I fitted it with trimarks in case we ever get some pvp action. Until then, it serves as a great hp mission tank. Back to running missions in Amarr space. I could use the standings as could many of my corp members. The money isn't half bad either :)

Let the Yarr End.

Well, the past few months was spent in the Privateers. I have nothing but respect for them. Contrary to what many may think, they are actually great guys just lookin for good pvp without the gate gun problem. I racked up many hundreds of millions in kills and lost some ships. It's safe to say I have been effectively "battle hardened" from the experience.

After a 1 month break to catch up on some skill training, I returned and joined a comfy mid sized indy corp. I figured helping some miners cause alot of damage against being picked on by 5 man asshat corps would be a nice change of pace. For now I will make back some of the money I lost until im at a healthy 5 billion.

Let the YARRR Begin

We joined the Privateers as of yesterday. This means a whole lot of targets and a whole lot of aggro. Our first night was pretty eventless. We roamed between Amarr and Caldari space with a 5 man mixed gang. No contacts sadly. We saw some war targets in local but nobody wanted ot come out to play.

Today however was quite different. The Crimson Federation was up to their usual crap and had an 11 man gang in Inaro jumping everyone who came in system. I was time to show these asshats a battle of equal numbers with pirates used to going up against incredible odds. Within an hour we had a 14 man BS/HAC/cruiser gang ready and heading into enemy territory. Sure enough, when we arrived, the cowards hid in station. A few came out to see what we had including an Ish and onyx. We quickly dropped the onyx's shield and he redocked in station. After about 15 minutes of no action, we decided to leave them and just make sure alliance members knew not to go through there.

Later on Teyla and roale were attempting to make their way back through inaro. I warned against it but they decided to give it a try. Sure enough, teyla was popped in his megathron by a 10 man BS gang on the gate. It's sad Crimson only fight when they have way too many. They know that in an even fight they are screwed. Pathetic.

Hopefully we can catch some action tonight.

The War Ends

The war will officially end in about 24 hours with Orgasmotech. We were hoping to get a bounty out of them but what we got instead were 2 (possibly 3) good pilots with abilities to fly any ships under capital class. This is a good thing too because our next target is a corp with almost all heavy ship pilots. I'm talkin lots of Ravens and Megathrons. It should be quite the war. We are outnumbered 2 to 1 in size and 10 to 1 in total weight class.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Popped

Well I deserve it. Myself, Teyla, Roele and insaniac were getting a bit bored with hunting our war targets. They had been hiding in station all day and refused to come out to play. We happened to be camping one of them in Piekura and decided to pay a visit to Mara.

As our little crew of 2 frigates, a battlecruiser, and me in my Heavy Assault Cruiser arrived, we spotted a Megathron jumping to Mara. "Meh what the hell", I said. "Let's do this". I had been meaning ot test my Sacrilege out on gate guns anyways to test the tank. Oh and it turns out, with the right fit, this thing can tank an incredible amount of DPS....including EASILY tanking gate guns and a Megathron at the same time.

Well the fight started. I was relying on our Thorax pilot for the DPS as my setup was tank fit. Sure enough, his DPS was brilliant and we had the mega to 3/4 armor in no time. Unfortunately the gate guns had other plans. After quickly dispatching our frigs, they went to work on the Thorax. He popped before he could even think about escape. Now it was me. Yes all alone with gate guns and a mega with way too much armor. I could have sat there and tanked it forever but I decided to book it out of there instead of waiting for another opportunistic rat. Just then, his buddy in ANOTHER Megathron uncloaked. I was boned. I held them off for another minute. Enough time to make sure everyone could escape and then I popped. There goes 130 mil :(.

On the bright side, that was the first real test on my tank fit. Quite successful if you ask me. Myself and Teyla will be sticking with HACs most of the time most likely.

Oh on a side note, our 2 month old trainee Gibbons went up against a domi today in a Drake hahaha. She was packing lots of Neuts. Obviously she had heard of Teyla and myself. However, Caldari are good for one thing; passive tanking. Her dps was shameful and his missiles began to eat her up so she docked and relayed to him how impressed she was at such a new character doing so well. Good job gibbs!
