Hello again people!
I've been whoring League of Legends recently so Eve hasn't had it's rightful share of my time. I can finally play ranked games on LoL and have setup a 3v3 ranked team with Sashenka & Wolfman. Those of you that play LoL will find it extremely funny that I'm in an insane Elo Hell where my elo has dropped BELOW 700. Now this is beyond annoying but I've finally worked out how I can carry my team even if they are all crap. The massive problem with been this low is that I'm under the bridge with all the trolls and people who go afk during game. Meh. Anyways, back to eve!
So the main reason for not playing eve is above, but there was also an incursion in the 0.0 space we roam. This didn't bother me much as I didn't really login to play but when I finally did I saw that the guys in corp were wanting to put out some war decs because the incursion was annoying them and were unable to do so. For you corpies reading this I'll be sorting this shortly!
Now myself and Sashenka decided to go for a quick roam last night at about 3am. Yes that's very late but it was a saturday and I was waaayyyyy too hungover from Friday night to go out again, so settled down for a long night of playing games. Sash was already flying his Harbinger in PVH fighting a small gang of Flying Dangerous pilots. From what I remember it was a t1 cruiser gang of about 5/6. He killed a stabber and then escaped while in structure. Good lad! I fit up a Talos in Orvolle and headed his way. By the time I got there the gang had retired to the station and we went searching for new targets. Sash got out of his Harbinger and went and fit the same Talos as me.
Now when the Talos first came out I wasn't a massive fan. That been said I didn't have t2 blasters and null so I didn't get to use it properly. Now I'm all skilled up properly they are much more fun. Putting out about 600dps at 30km is a whole lot of fun. We even managed to kill a deimos that was 55km from us. Very odd but we weren't complaining. More details later.
So we head out to 6-C in syndicate and go looking for targets to kill. On my way to meet sash I noticed there were about 30 in F67E local. Usually there's around 5. The MHC gate was bubbled with a couple of ships camping the gate. I reckoned it must be a pos bash and the guys on gate were here just to catch anything that wanted to try intefere. As I was going to meet up with Sash I didn't engage just yet but noted they were there to go back and have a look. Upon arriving in 6-C there were no targets to shoot so we decided to head straight to F67E and see what fight we could get out of the 30 in local. From what I remember we jumped in and there was only a Hurricane on gate. Shortly after though a couple of Arazu's decloaked and we nuked one quickly and got out before the rest of their gang could arrive. Ships were appearing on scan by the station so we went to have a look at what we could play with. There were about 7 ships outside the station with a mix of bc's, hacs and a couple of capitals. We burned off to get some distance and a deimos followed us. Now bare in mind our Talos guns were meant to have a 15k optimal and 25k falloff. Meaning at 40k there'd be less than 50% chance of hitting people and even less chance of that damage been anything worthwile. The deimos was around 50km from Sashenka and 65km from me. We opened fire to see what we could do and after about 5minutes of shooting him he popped. Why he stuck around when he could of just warped off or docked is beyond me? Maybe he was hoping the capitals would repair him and they didn't, who knows. Then they did the usual carebear thing and sent the fighters after us. Fighters after 2 BC's with 8 large guns each? We popped 2 or 3 fighters before they recalled them and a Falcon appeared. At that point we left. ECM.. Deserves to be shot in the face. But not in front of anyone specific of course!
We then decided to head over to PF-. The 0.0 entrance from Orvolle. This place is usually constantly camped either by big gangs that are fail and bored or a couple of opportunists looking for some easy kills. There's about 6 in local so we decide to warp straight to the gate and get a quick engagement if anyone is there. Coming out of warp we land in a small bubble with 2 Hurricanes sat on it. Sash landed first so immediately calls the primary and we go to work on him. We destroy both of them in quick succession but they did dish out quite a lot of pain to us too. Good easy quick fight had. Oh and some little cheeky gimp in a manticore dropped a bomb on us killing our warriors and killmail whoring. Come on dude that's just annoying!
With our drones nuked we head 3 jumps out to 31-M to restock. On the way I notice 2 Arbitrators and a Catalyst on scan. They are at a belt ratting so I head there at 0km to start a fight. Knowing that they were probably rocking Tracking Disruptors I made sure to use my Null ammo and keep a decent 20km range on them. Even though I was tracking disrupted at 20km I still hit the guys for alright damage but they were killing me at the same rate I was going to kill one of them. In comes sashenka and instantly one Arbitrator pops. Shortly after so does the second and the GF's are exchanged in local.
Now we've restocked our drones we decide to head back to PF- to see if anyone else has setup camp in the last 15 minutes. Lo and Behold there's a Drake sat on the gate on his lonesome. I tell Sash to ungroup his weapons and only hit the Drake with 2 out of 8 guns. The Drake doesn't agress but the gate fires and incomes a Vagabond friendly of his. We turn each of our 8guns onto the vagabond and he quickly dies. The drake then jumps out to safety while no doubt his friend is going crazy at him ;).
At this point it's about 4am, I'm pretty tired and want another game of LoL before heading off to bed. We head back to our home system to see if there's any targets on the way and to call it a night. Before I can do so however a flashy red Hurricane jumps into empire. I chase him and so does a neutral rifter and thorax. I'm shouting for the rifter pilot to tackle him but after 6 jumps he still hasn't. He convo's me to ask which way he headed and I let him know. I'm saying to Sash on comms that he probably has warp core stabs fitted but I'm going to chase anyway. Eventually we end up in lowsec near tama and I get a point on the Hurricane myself. He then proceeds to very quickly melt and the rifter also dives onto the kill. Guess he didn't fit stabs, silly boy. Obviously I then go into douche mode and turn my guns on the rifter that's been helping me and pop him too. Mwaaha :D. The guy has a little bit of a "FU!" fit in local and I go dock up. I check the guys employment history to see he's only been playing since December and feel a little harsh. I check our killboard to see how much his ship was worth and send him an extra 1mill for the trouble. He's then a very happy chap and wanting the killmails for his board. At this point I logoff and go for a game of LoL happy after a successfull short roam.
Sorry for not having an epic tale this time round and it feeling a little bit rushed but there's not much more to say!
