Or not.
Ok, I didn't really expect to kill it, particularly not in the cobbled-together fit I was flying from whatever parts were left in my hangar. But I had a go! I was hitting it, managed to stay inside web-range, didn't mind being scram'd. And then some other ships appeared... and I was quickly back in my hangar.
Roll with the punches, I'm here to make things explode - if it's my ship, no matter.
Lets head out again, what do I have to hand? Just a Hawk I'd bought as something to aim for. Recently completed the skills to actually equip the Tech II rocket launchers too. Let's head out, couple of jumps, and huh, there's that tormentor again, and I'm in a much stronger ship. Bet I can crush it quickly!
Or not.
Guess I should have paid a bit more attention in the last fight - I might have been hitting that tormentor, but, not really damaging it. Ah the benefits of hindsight afforded by a my slightly tankier Hawk taking longer to make its inevitable fall from grace as the horde descended.
Ah well, it was fun. I don't mind being slaughtered so much - the feel of battle in a ship I can only-just-afford-to-lose is great. And I know I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but I think that's ok.
A week on and I'm back in my hanger. I've managed to throw together a few more Tech I ships (Condors and Kestrels) from the various supplies and salvage I have lying around. Once more into the warzone!
So a little about me, I'm Canatana, currently sitting on 23 million skill points, had my Pilot's Licence for about a year and a half. I've dipped my toe into many things in New Eden, mostly as solo capsuleer, but briefly as rank-and-file for a larger corp too (I've heard they might be recruiting). Recently I've gotten embroiled in the Amarr - Minmitar war, but I think it'll soon be time to move on and try other things. But right now, right now I'd quite like to blow something up that isn't me.
And sometimes you need others to help you. I'm not really a fan of corps, I often only get to spend an hour a week awake, and I like to flick around. But that doesn't mean I can't use Local, or Militia chat:
o7 Any fleets up?Deafening silence. I flew out to Huola to see what's going on - looked like a small friendly (but silent) fleet milling around and quiet WTs. Managed to defensively-plex a small site and then decided to dock up and take on a Level 1 FW Security Mission from the local agent. These never go well, but seemed more interesting than spinning around beacons. Besides - I do love cutting off some ore supply lines!
8 Jumps. Quiet.
7 Jumps. A lot of friendlies.
6 Jumps. Two WTs and a criminal.
5 Jumps. A LOT of neutrals.
4 Jumps. Circadian Seekers.
3 Jumps. Bored. Being educated about Buffy Anne Summers by 'Buffy Summer's bio.
2 Jumps. Nothing.
1 Jumps. Even less.
Target system: Oh my goodness, no-one in local!
Quite a few rockets and 8 jumps later and I'm talking to my agent again to claim my reward.
About an hour's time awake and I've gotten about 3000 LP, and 300k ISK AND NOT DIED :)
Not the best, not the worst, but now it's time to sleep until next week.
