You win some, you lose some.

Ok, so here's an update about the events from Sunday until yesterday.  Be warned, this is a bit of a long post.

One + Three = 470,000,000 ISK
On Sunday I started scanning in Eglenaert as that was where fellow ninja Ullus was.  I scanned some guys down some guys and finally ended up going to a Megathron.  It was nothing special and I don't remember much of the details.  All I know was that he shot me, I pointed him and then he stopped shooting me.  When in doubt, keep doing the mission, amiright? 

Anyway, I swapped smoothly over to the Legion and pew pew'd this guy into space poop, but not before getting a nice fat 120 million ISK donation to provide for a new worm from the day before. 

So Eg was drying up and Ullus and I made the executive decision to move over to neighboring Agrallalier.  Boy do I love this system.  My first scan, the very first, was of a Machariel, Rattlesnake and Apocalypse Navy Issue.  What?  I warp in.  Its a two room mission and I quickly to the jump gate. All three missioners were there but there mission was over.  Slightly sadface.

I steal anyway and look at the three there.  I test the "auto-lock" feature of all three.  The Machariel and the Rattlesnake were both relatively experienced players and had the feature off.  The Apoc didn't but he didn't do anything for a good bit.  Then the Rattlesnake and Machariel started to warp off.  I was rather sad at this point and was about to warp off when I hear "PEW PEW PEW" from the lazors of the Apocalypse Navy. 

Hurray!  Auto-Lock wins again :)

Point, orbit at 20km and start pewing his two T1 Valkyries he was using during a Serpentis mission.  Suddenly I understood why he shot me.  I decided Ullus would be a good asset in his Scimitar and called him in so he could hopefully whore in on this guy because he was seemingly an idiot.  The guy still had me red boxed so I couldn't Orca swap but I decided to warp it in anyway.  As the Orca entered warp, Ullus tells me that we have company.  The Rattlesnake (same corp as the apoc) has decided to come back. 

SCORE!  The Rattlesnake decides to shoot Ullus in his scimitar and the Apoc follows suit.  Ullus points the rattler with his scimi and tries to evade. This is my opportunity.  As Ullus starts to lose shield I swap to my legion and point the Apoc (the rattle was not yet red to me).  As I do so I convo the Apoc and demand 800 mil for both of them.  He shouts at me in German (i got the hint as he said no right away).  I close convo and procede to hammer on the Apoc.

He wasn't melting that quickly.  At this point, the Rattler realizes I'm now in a Legion and decides to shoot me.  Then Ullus swaps to his Hurricane and starts to shoot the rattler.  The Rattlesnake is not going down fast enough, nor is the Apoc.  Since both are pointed and not moving I tell Ullus to shoot the Apoc, we'll negotiate with the Rattlesnake.  Our combined DPS starts to crush the Apoc as the third Mission Runner shows up in a Daredevil.  I was a bit sad as I was hoping for the Machariel. 

Things get a little hairy at this point, though the MR's make a few big mistakes.  First of all, they don't focus fire.  While I AM taking damage from the Apocalypse and the Rattlesnake, the daredevil shoots Ullus first.  Then he points me and I start taking a bit more damage as he orbits me at 2km and hurts me with blasters. This is the opposite of what you want to do: spread aggro.

The second mistake by the MR's, or MR in this case has already been done. Let's take stock of things.  I have a Rattler at approx. 10km sitting still with 5 Hornet II's on me, I have an Apocalypse Navy about to pop right in front of me, and I have a Daredevil hitting me with everything he has at 2km orbiting at a speed of 1500 m/s.  Oh, and Ullus Demos is right on top of the Apocalypse Navy Issue next to me.  He also has aggro on all three, with the Rattler pointed.  I have the Apoc pointed.  See the guy who's next primary? 

The Apocalypse pops in a beautiful ball of fire.  I quickly switch point, web and neut to the daredevil.  Ullus puts HIS web and nuets on the Daredevil.  With no cap and no speed, the Daredevil cannot escape.  We quickly melt him into oblivion.  Then we talk to the Rattlesnake who must, by this time, realize he is doomed.  We managed to extract 500 million ISK in empty promises from the Rattlesnake before he goes boom as well.

All Told, 1.6 Billion ISK Destroyed with a payout of 350 million ISK each for Ullus and I.  Not bad, considering I had only been on for about an hour.

The Trade
The next story I have is from Monday and it is not so happy.  So I warped to a Dominix Navy Issue.  He didn't want to play with me until I stole his mission objective.  This made him mad.  Really quite mad in fact, as he sent his flight of Ogre II's after me. 

I was thinking something along the lines of "LOL! Ogre II's!  Come at me bro!" at this point.  But surprisingly, I couldn't kill them very quickly OR tank them very well.  I managed to put one into low armor before he recalled them and then deployed ECM Vespas.  I got a little nervous and started to kill them and they never managed to get a jam cycle on me.  I was trying desperately to get reps into my fleet at this point and failed to invite the Orca pilot of our new CEO Zav so that he could swap to his scimitar.  Derp. 

After killing his Vespa-EC500's (Item check?) the DNI decided to deploy more Ogre II's.  Oh damn.  I was at 2% shield when Zav was in warp and 40% structure when he arrived.  The Jaguar blew up in a ball of fire before I could get reps on me. 

Now I was pissed.  I had derped and I knew it.  I had seen the general direction the MR had gone and decided to give chase.  I swapped to my Legion and warped to the Dodixie Gate in Agra.  To my surprise (and surprisingly good fortune), he was there.  As I landed, I stared at him for maybe 5 seconds, waiting to see what he would do.  That was when he jumped.  I jumped too and caught him as he was halfway to warp.  He started to burn back to gate but I put the hurt on him.  When he was 10km away from the gate he launched Hammerhead II's and tried to put the hurt on me! This was his final mistake.  He was aggressed now and I decided to just kill him rather than ransom, it was too much of a pain in my ass and I did not want this guy to live.  He died to my glorious retribution in the form of my legion.  Revenge is sweet.

The Failure:
Ok, so the next day was a cross country meet and I couldn't play EVE.  However, the day afterwards (Wednesday) I did get to play.  I managed to track down a really n00by Megathron who decided to shoot me right off the bat.  It would have gone really smoothly except for the fact that when I launched my legion to board it, I left cargo in the bay and my BRAND NEW Jaguar was not able to be scooped.
F*%K!  Depserately click board ship and I finally manage to as it enters low shield (I had rat aggro on top of fail MR aggro).  Eject cargo, desperately click board Legion.  But I failed.  It was the session change timer (in addition to my own stupidity) that screwed me over.  Fortunately, I managed to swap to the Legion just as the Jaguar exploded, so I skipped a second session change.  I then proceeded to a rather lengthy exchange with the Megathron that landed me a net of 40 million ISK after the Jaguar's loss.

He brought some friends in right as he died but they all pussy'd out and left us alone.  That brings us up to date, I will ninja later and hopefully have more stories to tell!

Until later, here are the tears,

I win at EVE

First, I must make a comment on the recent updates that have been deployed on TQ.  It should be noted that CCP has decided that our "Hot-Swapping" with Orcas is an exploit and has fixed it.  You can no longer swap ships while under fire from any entity in game (Player, Rat, Drone, etc.).  CCP has also decided that ship icons will only show up when a scanning hit is at 25% or higher. 

This has not phased us.  As if to say "Fuck You CCP!" TEARS alliance has destroyed or captured well over 20 Billion ISK worth of BPO's, Mission Runner ships and AFK idiots.  We win at EVE.

Now as to why I win at EVE.  I have been sort of away from EVE for the last 20 days or so.  I log into check my accounts, but as far as playing I haven't done much of anything.  Why? I got a new PC (It came!) and it came with some new games.  I've been trying them out.  So yesterday when I started to Ninja I surprised myself at getting 5 or 6 kills in the space of about 24 hours.  This includes a Rattlesnake, a Iteron Mark V, Myrmidon, Vexor and an Abbadon. 

The rattlesnake was my first big kill and it was solo (woot!).  The Vexor was some douche-bag who hunts ninjas and decided to loot my can.  The Iteron was an idiot who looted from a can of ours in the belt.  The Myrmidon was my first kill of the month as he shot me mid-mission.  I also managed to social engineer a Brutix to shoot me but he ejected.  I'll get to the Abbadon in a minute.

I was sad after the Rattlesnake kill.  I warped to a double MR mission with a Domi Navy and a Maelstrom in my Worm.  They were in world's collide and when I looted their mission objective the DNI boxed me.  I got excited and pretended to mind my own business as his Mael friend went and looked in the can.  But that's when I screwed up.  I slowed down and lost transversal with the Domi and also at the same time picked up full room aggro as I orbited a wreck I was salvaging.  Derp.  I had 25% shield when the Domi turned his 5 guard II's on me.  Let's just say I barely got my transversal up as I hit 50% structure.  There were a lot of alarms going off.  I pointed the Domi Navy and tried to recover shield.  The Garde II's started to fail to hit me and my shields recovered. 

I had hope then.  My shields were now at 20% and I was taking little damage.

Unfortunately, this Domi Navy was smart.  He pulled his Garde II's and popped Hobgoblins.  Sadface, I melted in about a minute as I tried to align out but failed to warp in time.  The worm died admirably.

So I was pissed and rage went AFK. It was a while till I came back.

I was still pissed until I went to the Abbadon that would be my last kill of the night.  Here is a story of epicness.

I got a scan for an Abbadon last night and went and bugged the guy for a bit. He was two months old and had T1 Valkyries out during a Sansha mission, I was hopeful that he would shoot. But alas, all this noobiness seemed in vain. He didn't even shoot me for helping him to collect bounties as he could not kill the rats.

Then I flipped his mission objective, a group of 50 prisoners, from his can into mine. He kept burning at it, slowly, until he was right on top of it and then the can disappeared. He goes red, I point, orbit at 20km and mention the fact in fleet chat (I was on the phone as this happened) and then a minute or so later shout in mumble.

The five of us who were there (Me, Waags, Ullus, Vipah and Zav) were dicking around and generally trying to get as much lol out of this guy as we could. We swapped to frigates and ransomed him for a total of 120 million ISK, which was cool for a n00by Abbadon. When he refused point blank to pay more, we popped him.

That's when Zav kinda freaked out, scooped loot and said something about “warping to station right away with a ton of shinies” and “you're not going to believe this”. I don't think any of us believed it at first. But there it was, 3.8 billion ISK destroyed to top the kill boards for the night.

I win at EVE.

Line 'Em Up, Knock 'Em Down!

Yesterday was a great day to be a ninja!

I logged on in Tintoh yesterday with little expectations for my chances of getting shot.  I started scanning and got a few battleship hits, so I scanned down the one that was already pretty much done for and and it was a Raven.

So I swapped to the Worm and went to visit the Raven in his Sansha mission, a single room mission with lots of rats.  He was not pleased to see me and since he only had aggro from 1/4 of the rats he engaged.  What ensued was the most intense Ninja v. Bear pvp I've ever had the pleasure to take part in!  He had about 3 flights of 5 tech II drones and my worm had picked up aggro from the remaining 3/4 of the rats.  That said, I still managed pop most of the first flight of drones until he recalled them.  Then he stopped shooting me, which was suspicious.  I was sure he was locking up my drones!

Sure enough,  a few moments later he popped drones again and one of my Warrior II's went into structure.  Oh No!  I did the same trick to him, except my locking time was 2 seconds rather than a minute.  He and I did this for a while but then I noticed his tank was breaking to the rats.  So I decided to help them!  Web, Rockets and 5 Warrior II's was apparently the DPS needed to break him.  He died in a brilliant ball of fire!  Silly Carebear =D

Well, he apparently hadn't had enough of a beating (I think he was more mad that he died to a frigate) and decided to come back!  I had to warp out after trying to loot the wreck cause I now had full aggro from all the rats and when I stopped moving, I went into armor!  Oh NO!  I swapped to the jaguar and returned to the mission.  I warped the Orca to the gate of his mission at the same time for whatever my reasons were.  Oh yeah, I had warped it in so as to swap to the Legion to kill the Raven, but I didn't want to bring in the Orca yet.  So the Orca's sitting on the warp gate, I'm in a jaguar in the mission looting his Raven wreck when all of a sudden he's back, in a Drake! 

My ninja senses were tingling that this guy was probably web fit to catch me and since there was no need to burn right at him yet I simply orbitted at 22km and pointed him while I warped in the Orca.  I knew there was going to be trouble so I asked for reps in a ninja chat channel where I knew there was at least one active ninja in system with me.  He kindly warped in to rep my jaguar as I burned towards the drake to swap.  When the Orca was 8km out, I swapped to the legion (the drake had stopped moving, but he was originally going faster than my Orca at approx. 385 m/s) and pointed him.  I started to orbit the Orca who was set on approach to the drake.  This was fine for me as I had the drake webbed as well.  The drake melted and refused a ransom for a second time.  So I finished him off and stole more loot!  Hurray!  (Note how I was right about webs... he really wanted me dead!) Two kills in about 20 minutes!

About a minute into scanning for new guys to kill there came a shout in the same ninja chat from the same guy who had repped me that he needed reps!  Well shit, he helped me I might as well help him!  He had been about to warp to the guys mission when a corpmate had pinned him down on bottom station and then 4 more corpies had warped in.  So I warped the Orca and my Basilisk in so as to get red and sure enough, a Tengu boxes me and a Raven goes red right off.  I wait till I'm in low shield to see if the Tengu engages but decided to swap before the Basilisk goes boom.  I swap to the Legion and start raping the Raven,  who promptly decides to engage back.  The tengu also engages.  I start hitting him hard, but he is strangely heavily shield buffered and manages to deagress and dock at low shield. I then swap to the jaguar and burn after the tengu but he manages to warp just outside of warp disruptor range.  Damn.  Ah well, at least I got shot!

So I returned to my safe spot, jumped in my cheetah and started to scan for more battleships.  That's when I scanned down this russian bloke in a dominix!  I thought what the hell, it's been a good day, lets make it better!  In the jaguar again and I warped off to bug the damn ruskies!  Well, the Dominix was in the second room of his Angel Extravaganza and I stole the one wreck that was there.  He was not happy!  I tested his auto-lock (which works =P) and he shot the wreck right as I started looting it.  He then boxed me and sent drones after me!  WOOT!  Point, orbit at 22km and shoot drones!  He recalled his drones quickly though and then popped Warden I's.

Wat!?

I thought he was going to keep on doing the mission but he apparently decided that I couldn't kill the drones from 22km away.  Derp.  He derped even more when he decided not to align.  He finally started to get smart again and deployed his Hobgoblin II's again, though he still didn't get some movement going.  As the Orca entered warp on the second gate, I burned right at him and swapped before he realized what was happening.

Then the tricky part came.  How do you ransom a guy who doesn't speak English while: trying to keep him alive (my neut killed any chance he had at tanking the rats), Watching your own cap, using google translate to check what he is saying and what I am saying, oh and checking your wallet/log to see that he pays or doesn't self destruct.

It's hard, but he finally payed me 18 million ISK and then I popped him.  I got a nice little surprise from the drop, I did not expect the faction armor repper!

That was my afternoon yesterday.  Oh and I popped a Sansha mothership (Event in New Caldari on Jita Gate which we were trying to fuck with) and got on a -10 guy's typhoon loss mail.  Altogether a good day to be a ninja!

Weekly Update!

I have been to lazy to update the blog much, so here's an update of the last week:

Looking at my killboard, the oldest kill of mine since the kronos was a Basilisk.  He had another basi came in to repair a loki that had decided to engage me and I just couldn't keep up with the repair rate of 2 basi's so I let the Loki go in hopes of catching one of the Basilisks off guard, which I did!  Woot!  Sadly the next ship I warped to was a Proteus that also shot me.  He however was MWD fit and was able to go approximately 1350 m/s, which was 150 m/s faster than my Worm could go even with the AB overheated... I think its time for an DED Space AB =(

My next kill was a Dominix who I don't recall much about except the fact that he seems to have CONCORD'ed himself on my Orca rather than pay his ransom.  Worth every laugh on that one, despite the fact I got no ransom.

My most recent kill was a raven.  I was 90% sure he was going to bring in friends as I was ransoming him because there was a rifter on D-Scan.  However, I made the wrong impression on him while trying to get ISK from him because I think I scared away the rifter... anyway, as I swapped to a basilisk to keep him alive so he would pay me his ship blew up... hence why I'm in a basilisk on the kill mail. Lol!

Pay Your Ransom, or Else!

What happens when you don't pay a ransom to me?

I get your corpse. That's what.

The other day I got my second marauder to shoot me and it was the first one I could actually attempt to kill! His railguns nearly wrecked my Worm but I was able to get him pointed and had my friend (toobs) bring in my Orca and Przckk come in for back up.

Well, it went perfectly: The guy even shot Przckk as he came in for a bump! So Przckk pointed him and I swapped to the Legion, put him into low armor and demanded a ransom of 500 million ISK (Didn't really demand, asked nicely infact). He said he'd just buy another one so I put him into 20% structure before asking again. He said “haha no way” and left convo.

I was not amused. I got Przckk to get his pod as he exploded, I ran over to neighboring Dodixie to get a pod juicing thrasher. I tried a ransom again: 500 mil and his pod would live to see another day. Again, he declined.

Up side? I got a new corpse and some “I'm gonna hunt you down” tears. Downside? Przckk went below -3.00 Security status and we were in a 0.9 system, He lost his hurricane (which I paid for in full as he was the one who finished off the pod [Damn Transversal]), his Vigil AND his Helios (the last two because he left the Helios out in space next to his vigil. When he boarded the Vigil, it got concordokkend as did his unoccupied Helios I was trying to save. WTF CCP?).

All Told:
Kronos Kill: 1.1 Billion ISK
Ship Replacement (Hurricane): 55 Million ISK

Watching one angry carebear lose his pod: Priceless

Edit:  I forgot to add the tears...

Wahoo!

Ok, so I was bored today and decided to scan and mission runner gank for myself (What?).  It turned out to be an excellent idea!

First person I scanned down was missioning in a Caldari Navy Raven with his friend in a Hurricane.  The CNR could shoot me, the hurricane could not.  Now, they weren't altogether happy with my unannounced arrival and decided that they would party somewhere else, like at Aunia II at approx. 30km from the warp in.

I was bored and not expecting much of a response I locked and quickly unlocked the CNR, which tests for auto-lock.  About a minute later, I notice missiles flying into my Harpy!  He shot me!! So I overloaded my point for two cycles (Range of 32km!), burned towards him and proceeded to pop his drones one by one with my blasters of doom.  Then the Orca arrived and I burned into a tight orbit to hold him down tighter, which was unnecessary as he did not move at all.

In all the excitement, I failed to my attempt at a ransom by being to franc (I notice pointing out the value of the ship to the pilot and going 20% under that helps).  So he had to be killed.  Easy 100 million ISK.

Daron Gekh, an old friend of mine from my n00bier days in EVE learned a quick lesson on why PvP in a PvE ship is dangerous, I had him into low armor after convincing him to fight my little assault frigate.  Now he knows better =P

However, as he paid my ransom he lived to mission another day in his Dominix Navy Issue... he's also alive because he's a friend.

My second and final kill of the night was an Apocalypse who I did the same trick to as the CNR with the auto-lock.  He too did not wish to pay a ransom and as he went into low armor he decided to self-destruct, so I melted him quickly too.  He had a Megathron friend on D-Scan for a while, but he was a no show to the party =(

So that was my night, a fairly eventful and fun one =D

Friday Night (BEST NIGHT!)

Today was a day for me, myself and I.

I have been chilling with friends all week (as well as working) so I have had very little "me" time.  So I took today to finish my book, catch up on yardwork and of course: Play EVE! =)

Tonight was a good night for EVE.  I warped to a couple of missions and got nothing.  No one decided to play at first.  Then I warped to, as my alliance mate calls it, a "Hyperion-Drake-Myrm-Cyclone Combo Pack".  Sounded like fun so I went and joined the party >:)

The party was almost over when I arrived.  So I yoinked some loot and managed to grab the mission objective which I noticed the Hyperion burning for.  He wasn't too happy, but my cargo was near full so I dropped a can and decided to keep looting.

Enter a Nocti, and as I'm burning for it, I notice my can disappear.  WTF???  Then, on my overview, the Hyperion is red!  Hurray!!

Point him up, orbit him and bring in the orca.  It was as smooth as ever, helped by the fact the Hyperion decided to align after I had him pointed by my Legion.  There was a short conversation involved which resulted in a kindly donation of 120 million ISK towards my Pac, a group for the exploitation of derpheads.

He then, under fire from my legion of missiles spewing from my legion died splendidly in a ball of fire.

Thanks for the ISK Mate =D

The next few hours were less eventful as a fellow corpmate who was scanning for me managed to convince all the bears that he was harmful and just wanted the salvage so they left him alone.  It was disappointing how few people wanted to play.

Anyway, I think that is all for today, its now 1:30 am and I am pooped.  Here's to next time Vile!
