Bringing a knife to a gun fight, off to 0.0 I go.

A little while back I settled into a new corp. with ZombiNutz my lost and languishing combat pilot. At the time the corp. I joined outwardly looked to be another mission running highsec crew. The kill board was 100% losses and not what you might expect as the place I chose to find my PEW PEW.

I also made a solid commitment to the rifter at this time. I’ve done nothing but train for rifter related skills and fly rifters since then with very few exceptions where the drake saw some fire. I’ve flown the rifter around in missions. I’ve taken it ratting in lowsec and had a few dances with the locals. I got my first ever kill via a duel with Astra Dominix in a rifter. I have rifter hulls in more places than any other asset in EVE.

So with that said the corp. choice was made based on long term goals. Those goals are sending us rapidly into 0.0 as soon as we can land and setup shop. So naturally the rifter will be the first thing I fly into 0.0. It’s cheap yet powerful, super fun to fly, and considered a valid ship for a new PvP player to cut his teeth in. I cannot help but think I am bringing a swiss army knife to a very large gunfight.

I expect more kills and a lot more deaths to begin flowing sometime in the next week or so. I cannot say I’ll be posting too much detail about them as it’s frowned upon to share too much publically. I will tell you that I’ll post about all of them in good time with what I learned from them all.

Fun times are ahead.

Cheers

  1. Congrats on heading out to 0.0. Where exactly will you be in 0.0 barring opsec of course, you can tell me the region... :) will you be able to get back into empire to let me shoot at you a few times if you are too deep in 0.0 for me to come pay a visit or two?

    All the best out there!

  2. I'll be back in empire plenty as we move forward. Have a few fitted rifters in Rens waiting for a 1 vs 1 lesson. Will have Jump clones on both ends shortly.

    I am sure BBW can figure out where I am going with a look at my corp. :)

    I am sure we will "bump" into each other soon enough. Looking forward to the many lessions I have to learn.

    Cheers

  3. Man, requiring me to put out effort to find you, sounds like work :) See you soon!

  4. Be scary if we ended up being blue... Kind of a bummer.

    I figured a little hunting might actually make it more fun. Rather than me telling you what gates to camp :)

    If you want to fight you just need to show up on Wednesday in Rens in a T1 hull fitted with T1 mods only. Don't make me lend you 5M isk to fit something up! ;)
