Educational Measures

Lesson 1:

Yes, today i was stupid. I lost lots of millions of isk buying the wrong stuff and also getting scammed.
A clear case of me-fail. I always thought i'd never fall for the 2 additional zeroes, but i did.
Anyway, i lost a lot of isk and i was angry as hell. Not that isk is that important, but you kinda need that stuff to get shiny ships and exotic dancers (1123 and counting).
This is lesson 1 for today: Count your zeros.

Also, i discovered that well-know corpse-collector Velocity Prime has my corpse in the bargain bin. Metagaming at it's best. I had to laugh really hard, i just love those kinda things.

What a day...

Lesson 2:

There i was, angry, broke and ready to give my Helios one last spin and undocked to scan for some clueless missionrunners.
And what i found was far more than clueless: A newbie.
Here's how i went...

I scanned down a little Ferox, doing his business. Missioning. Click, pew, click, pew.
That must be SO boring! So i decided to spice things up a little. First i salvaged some stuff, not touching the loot.
A minute later i took some loot from his wrecks, just to piss him off. And to add audacity to insult, i immediately targetted him as i went red.

Pew. He shot me in his poorly shield-tanked Ferox and didnt even scratch my little vigil. What a poor shot.
I bookmarked a wreck and went back for the Wing Of Doom (a neut Myrmidon with drones), praying that he will be so noobish to stay in his mission.
He did. Bet on stupid, won.

As i warped in i noticed he moved 16km from the can! Crap! My point was not in range, so i overloaded my afterburners and approached him. He sat still and launched his drones and began to pew me a bit, not hard, but so much that i even needed to activate my repair and resistance modules. That sir "Bobba99", was your first big mistake. And i mean BIG.
I reached point range, scrambled him and this moment the usual Suddenly Ninja Overkill Remote Repair Fleet (now called SNORR) arrived and started giving me some armor repairing hugs. Thanks y'all! Not really needed, but it's an assuring feeling when you got +10 drones flying around repping you. I felt like the master of fucking bees!

The Ferox went down pretty quick as soon as he was neuted. I even though of ransoming him, but that would't make that a good educational measurement, right?

Boom. One Ferox, down.

I tried to reach Bobba99 and he really had no clue what happend to him. He didn't get aggro mechanics and was totally unprepared... To sad, i felt pity for half a split-second. I guess he never had a fight, ever.

So, Bobba, what did we learn?
1) Don't shot ninj... oh no wait! Do shot ninjas!
2) It's a bad idea to shot little ships, close to you with big guns. It just tickles.
3) If you shot someone and he leaves, be prepared for him to come back.
4) if 3 doesn't work for you, do what i do in case of doubt: get the fuck outta here.
5) If someone is attacking you and you're not in his point range, check point 3. if you're in doubt, apply 4. quick.
6) don't threaten pilots when you know you got absolutely no chance of succeding. (ya know)


And yes, i also wrote these rules down for myself. I'm by far not a skilled pilot!



End of lesson 1 & 2, class dismissed. Bobba, you and i gonna stay and work on your anger management problem and your triggerhappy finger.
And im gonna learn how to count zeros. Promise.

about this blog

Yes, another blog about internetspaceships!
If you haven't guessed by now, this blog is about a great game called "Eve Online".

This blog is dedicated to the fun side of this game, like blowing stuff up, spending huge amounts of ISKs on exotic dancers and the like. NOT the technical/tactical stuff filled with millions of acronyms and discussion.
So if you wanna discuss fittings or remind me that the 10% explosion resistance hole will kill me, please, go away. Visit battleclinic or something...
