Monday Specials - an order of e-sissy to go please.

With the Easter celebrations and the first real sunny spring days of this year hitting there was not much time for EVE over the weekend. I continue to court new corps. with ZombiNutz and well the options are staggering as always in EVE.

I’ve had a lot of great suggestions from folks about jumping into PVP. Mansai suggested the Agony Unleashed for PvP training which seems like nothing but awesome. Logan suggested diving in and applying to stimulus if I can handle the abuse, also a great idea. I’ve had a number of corps. from highsec miners looking for more combat folks to nullsec small time pirates approach ZombiNutz.

So where am I at here? The truth is I don’t know. I am being an e-sissy here sitting on a fence with my digital thumb up my ass. I have several great opportunities and all I can do is pick them apart. I am hopeless.

Back at the carebear ranch SonOfBraben just baked up a fresh batch of rifters. Sending 20 to Zombi as a “get your bloody act together chump!” gift and putting the rest on the market to cover the cost of the BPO and materials with a little profit on the side. He is also selling t1 ammo faster than he can make it and blitzing LvL 3 Caldari navy missions in a nifty new Brutix. Business is good and not too dull aka very little mining.

Now to the subject of rifters:

So I’ve been out on battlenet noobing about for a good solo/gang tackle rifter fit. Now that I can make ‘em at a cost that I find reasonable the next this to do is start working on the mods and ammo to fit them. Zombi can fly ‘em now and should have the T2 auto cannons in 6 ish days.

So if anyone has a good rifter fit they love to fly please send the details over. I am currently bumming around the belts in a T1 125mm auto cannon buffer tank fit. Pretending the rats are real people and trying to close distance without taking fire and getting a “point” on them so to speak.

In other news Astral just jumped back to his old corp. right about when I was actually about to fleet up and go roam with him. Guess he did not like being shown the door when he asked to borrow my wife. Good luck out there mate!

Cheers.

A TRAP, really! ;)

Had some time to play last night. So off to a level 3 caldari Navy mission agent I go for some easy ISK and LP. Level 4's are doable for me with 2 battle cruisers, but blasting through level 3's suits me better.

The passive drake freshly rebuilt from a "OH crap we are stuck in a wall" incident was doing the business and my salvage catalyst was mopping up the wrecks.

So right as I get the objectives of a really easy level 3 mission done. In warps a yellow Heron who loots and goes red. I type "LOL!" in local and loot the last of the BC rat wrecks first leaving a ton of frigs for my little ninja friend. Destroyer is now on it's way home (6 jump round Trip) to get my freshly painted Incursus "Lunch Meat II" with spiffy T2 blasters and buffer armor tank kung-fu action sounds. The drake drifts around approaching the ninja now and then. Lunch Meat is warping to the gate for the system when my little buddy in black PJs locks me up (to scan me down) and start a convo. I did not grab it but it goes like this:

Ninja type: Hi, thx <3
Me: No problem. How's the Ninja business?
Ninja type: Don't know. this is my first time. concord blew up my ship.
Me: IC ;)
Ninja type: Thanks for not booming my ship.
Me: You are welcome. Where are your buddies?

Convo closes and the heron warps out. 5 seconds later lunch meat lands with me ready to spice up the life for us both a little. Even if this heron smelt like a chunk of meat waved at lions while hunters line up with bazooka behind the brush.

Some what disappointed I set the drake towards the agent and started to warp about the planets and belts in the system. Sure enough I found me 2 other fellows of the same corp. Flying an ishkur (drool) and a thorax with nice yellow glows.

Sure there would have been a good chance a PvE PST HM Drake and a PvP Incursus would not have had much of a chance Vs seasoned ninja types. However today I am kicking myself hard for not taking the bait.

This will happen again and a good practise might be to keep some PvP ships closer to where I am missioning. Perhaps I have found my happy place between industrialism and shooting stuff. Perhaps next time the bait will be me :)

Cheers
