Hey People,
I tried out my fraps in the weekend and got some footage of me soloing a Hurricane in my Myrmidon and then me a 2 friends kill a Sleipnir, Hurricane and a Typhoon. I was in my Myrm again and my friends were in an armor Hurricane and a Stealth bomber.
I edited out the boring bits but if you have any suggestions on how to improve the video please let me know and i will do it a bit differently on my next one. So far the only comment is to speed the game play up. Any others?
Video Linkage
Ok so now that i have fraps and a 2TB external to record to i will try and make my blog a little more visual by making some short vids and taking some screen shots.
FIGHT!!
So last night just before down time i took my alt into a quiet part of space and observed a couple of want to be pirates in a Navy Slicer and Ishtar killing a Hurricane on the sun, but by the time i had got Mitch logged on and into a ship they had moved on.
I jumped Mitch into 'The Creep' (Dual rep domi of power) and headed into low-sec to find these evil people. Just two jumps out i find them and they are doing a Plex of all things so i warped The Creep straight on top of them and as i land they put there tail between there legs and run!
I let them regroup and by this time ItsmeHck1 had turned up in his drake with some loki bonuses. (i love the Loki boosts)
I warped The Creep to do some Creeping on the sun with a plan of a good fight. It was going to be my corp member and NZ Badass Max in his Ishkur, Itsme in his drake and me in The Creep vs an Ishtar, Drake and Abaddon.
Sitting on the sun the Ishtar land 70km off me and with only 5 mins left on the server we did not have time to waste. Itsme lands and burns to him and with the 40km Loki boosted point he catches him. With me still burning for him his mates in the Drake and Abaddon lands and is only 5km off me the drake burns out of scram range before i can lock him but i catch the Abaddon.
Whilst Creeping on the Abaddon Itsme starts hitting armor in his drake and warps out leaving just me and max to deal with then for now.
With The Creep tanking like a champ they switch fire power on to Max and with no points on him he warps out before they can do any real structure damage.
Itsme warps back in and we finish off the Ishtar and kill the abaddon, with only the drake left on grid and 2mins left on the server we kill the drake and loot the field.
It was a close fight for Itsme ending the fight with around 40% armor left on his drake and Max dipping into structure in his Ishkur.

Where did he go??
Hey Guys/Gals,
So where have i been these last few months and what have i been up to?? I shall tell you but first looks at what i killed last night he was sitting on the sun at 0km scanning, lol.
My last post here was some 4 months ago now and at that time i was running around with The Tuskers having lots of fun etc, until one day i decided to take a bit of a PVP break. With my alt in a corp by her self i decided to make a post on the forum to see if there were any fellow aussies/kiwis to join me for some fun.
A few weeks later my one person alt corp had grown into a 20 strong high sec corp of miners and mission runners. Then as per usual a high sec PVP corp deced us, i take a PVP break only to have it come back to me. With the majority of the corp being miners and non combat trained i advised all not wanting to fight to drop corp into an NPC one, a few did but ANZAC spirit is strong and most wanted to fight.
On the first night of the dec i got prepared with my nuet domi and my little fleet comprised of a armageddon, Harbi and a (poorly fit) arbitrator. My scout spots the enemy on the gate and we warp to enguage them, they were in Typhoon, domi and a tengu.
We land on the gate and target the typhoon we start shooting and the tengu jumps in at range and he domi warps in point blank. Being non combat focused we did not stand a chance and get slaughtered.
Really it dose not help the fight when 1/3rd of you dps starts shooting our own side, you know who you are, lol.
At this stage i thought Bugger it and went power ratting in my main and in a day or two he goes from -10.0 to -3.4. Once he is in high sec i join him up to the war and took the fight to them. I chase one of them to a station and wait for him to undock, as he dose his dram got pwn into armor and he docked. Suddenly the war was retracted and it was the last we saw of them.
After this little dec some of my corp members caught the PVP bug and started to trian there skills.
Now just to shorten this post up, what am i doing now??
Now i am back in Night Bandits with a few new friends and a couple of older ones and have been dropping into low sec killing people and training some of the newer members on how the PVP thing works.
I am also going to make a video!! that's right, but what of?? What would you like to see???
Thanks for reading

The Spider Tanking Punisher
Hey guys, Last night just after DT Kishin, Etuura and me decided to fit up and test out my new Punisher fit.
Never inserted a picture into here before so hope you guys can see it lol.
Just to chuck some stats at you guys:
DPS - 80 (OH YEA)
EHP - 9K
SPEED - SLOW!!
TANKING - 79DPS each Punisher RRing you!!
Well with the impressive stats we headed out on our test flight.
We undocked from station and with nobody else in system to test them on we enlisted the help of our friendly neighbourhood sentry guns.
Great success it works, we were unable to prema tank sentries but we could last a little bit, just one more punisher and we could lol. After the sentry gun test we headed to the sun and shot at each other to test it out and with 2x RR we could tank 2x frigs \o/ YAY.
After the great success and our feeling of invincibility the three of us headed straight to Adrian to try and find a kill and after some scanning warped to a drake doing a mission.
We land at the acceleration gate and activate it, once inside the mission we find the drake 70km off us. Kishin was fastest and closed the gap and grabbed point we lock each other up ready to get the RR going, but alas the drake goes boom!!
We point the pod and try for a ransom, the pilot stalls and he has his mate warp the the mission to kill us. OMG over kill he brings in a vindicator overkill much!! we kill the pod and warp off to a safe before the vindy can volly us lol.
With our feeling of invincibility reinforced with our great kill we decide to take on another drake in a bet. very brave sue to the fact (after a quick check of his combat history) he was anti frig fit with extra webs and assault missiles. we land and get point on him, a friendly griffin come in and jambs out the drake and we start working on him.
DAKKA DAKKA a hurricane lands and starts over powering Etuura's punisher, since the drake is jambed i give the call to get under the canes guns, with success Kishin and i do it but now webbed beyond help the cane volleys the last of Etuura's punisher down, the vindy pilot comes back from before in and interceptor and drives our griffin off the Field. With only Kishin and me left on the feild vs an anti firg drake, armor cane and interceptor i give the call over comms to scream like little girls and die to the enemy.
Here is the battle report, all i can say is we got our moneys worth in our superior lolage and WE MUST DO THAT AGAIN!!!!
Thanks for reading lol

The Breacher - First Encounter
As i undocked my buffer Breacher "Hull Breach" i set my sights on bagging a kill.
My little Hull Breach warped around but to no luck dead quiet and any one around dock at the sight of its awesomenessity (yes it is that awesome i can make up words).
Latter in the day a few corp mates and i got a fleet together and tried to kill all humans. With me in my mighty Breacher i set to join them. The aim of the fleet was to engage anything as the Breacher will over power all and we will be saved, we were wrong.
We sat Butternut in top belt in his myrm and waited, while the rest of the fleet sat on the gate ready to pounce. I decide to go afk to get a drink and some hot cross buns, i come back to screams as the fleet has jumped in and have tackled a harbi and they need the assistance of the mighty one, our fleet of awesomenessity took down the harbi, then a myrm landed and the shit hit the fan. We started dropping like flies, first poor Butternut in his myrm and then i actually had a Hull Breach and went down. We then lost Ronans Zelot and Vons Rifter, the only lucky survivor was Kishin in his Crusader.
Keep a look out for the Hull Breach as it will be up and running again, i haven't finished with it yet!!
Mitch o/
PS> I will be posting about the going ons of the fleet after this as it got awesomely crazy, (i just need the logs off my computer at home).

The Breacher - Fitting The Frame
So as i have planed it already and have the ships i am going to try out the Breacher "Mr The Frame". I will try out the Bellicose next when i have T2 projectiles ( 9 days left woot ) i have fits planed and am all ready to go just need the T2 skills.
So at first look the Breacher seems pretty harmless and very flimsy. It has a 10% to explosive missile damage and 5% bonus to em, kinetic and thermal, it is pretty obvious how i will fit it.
With the lack of power grid and low/mid slots it is hard to fit a sizable tank to it, this is what i have planned.
Fitting One - This will be the first fitting i will try out, close range, higher damage out put fit. It has 133 DPS and 3.8k EHP but is quite slow at 870m/s. The plan is to get in and try and hold range at max scram distance (around 9km). it will be interesting how this ship preforms as it stats are not to bad, we will see the week.
Fitting Two - This is pretty much the same as fitting one just an armor rep instead of a 200mm plate, i will also try out a duel rep like the Navitas with no prop mod and dual rep. There is a serious lack of armor hit points available, but it will have to be tested.
Fitting Three- As with rockets having to short range for a feasible kitting set up i have made this set up with light missiles. With 73 DPS it will be a bit slower and killing a target but going at 3100m/s it should be able to stay out of harms way. It has some cap issues so i have down graded the T2 disruptor to a meta 4 so save some cap and a T1 MWD, This will give me a bit over a minute worth of cap, i will be pulsing the MWD once at range to have enough cap to hold point.
So i have two fits to try wish me luck i may need lots of it with this ship.
I have a crop friend that want to join in as i test this ship so there may even be some duel Breacher kills.

PS> I have started a new poll so please vote for the next ship to be tested.

The Navitas - The Mighty One Has Fallen
I logged on last night with an aim to kill all, i failed.
I started off the afternoon fitting up my first Hawk. I got only two jumps out and to my chances tackling a Loki and Myrmidon. Lots of nuets, webs and warrior drones later..... my Hawk was no more.
I re-shipped into my Drake but when i went back the Loki and Myrmidon were gone. I warped to a station and was meet by a Brutix who engaged me i heated my Defence and took to it. He had me at half shields i had him at half armor, he was repping my damage but i was breaking him, he hit low structure as i hit armor. The mighty Brutix repaired a chunk of armour and my poor drake went down. Soo close! would have won if i had the range from the start, but i was scrammed and webbed.
So after some of my better ships failed me i thought how can my mighty Navitas loose. I undocked and there was a Ishkur (it can only go well from here), I can do this i thought locked him up, launched my drone heated everything and.............He docks! What is this!! after a bit of station games, him docking then me docking etc we bumbed horns.
We Locked each other up i launched my drone he launched his five, i heated my guns and reppers and set to work. Boom, direct hit i may win this!! then clack his blasters fire along with his drones. So now there i am sitting in a pod how did i loose such a fight??
A moments silence for the fallen.
What have i learned from flying the Navitas so far. Well the main thing is don't engage a Ishkur or anything with drones........ or guns.
It was a blast flying the Navitas, a lot of laughs had, so many laughs i think i grew a six pack and i even fell off my chair a few times.
For my next ship i want you to decide. (as always)
I have put all the suggestions i have got so far into a poll, you will see it in the side bar so get voting!!
Thanks

The Navitas - First Blood
The mighty Navitas she has drawn her first blood!!
I logged on last night for a quick spin in my new duel rep Navitas. I undocked her and saw her in the sun light for the first time and well, burst into a fit of laughter. I left Lisbatanne and headed straight to Old Man Star to find a fight, as i landed in my safe 200km from top belt i was meet by a Loki who was 100km off me. Deciding a Loki was a bit more than i can chew i headed back towards Lisbatanne.
Still with no viable targets i offer a 1v1 in local to a Rifter pilot that was flying around earlier, he rejected it saying i was lieing and would fly something that would over power his poor Rifter.
So taking my chances i fly my poor Navitas one jump through high sec into Hulmate. There were three people in local so i warped to the station to see where they are. And found them i did a Cynabal and Jaguar camping the station, so i did what all little girls do and ran with my tail between my legs.
All of a sudden word came of a ratting Caracal in Hevrice. As i make my way to Hevrice a corp friend used his alt and scanned down the Caracal. He gave me a warp in on the notorious figate killer. I land 49km off the target i set my little Navitas to max speed all 330m/s needless to say it was a SLOW approach but he stayed still. I got within point range and started blasting rounds of EMP out of my two 200mm auto cannons and my whole drone started to orbit, buzzing around.
BOOM he hits me and my shields evaporate with everything heated i start to rep the damage but with only 2 bars of cap it is struggling. He starts to enter armor as i struggle to hold the damage off.
With all my modules at the brink of burning out he enters structure and pops.
THE MIGHTY NAVITAS DREW HER FIRST BLOOD!!
I pointed the pod and tried to ransom the pilot for a joke or a riddle but all i got was Fuck you pirate bitch!! in Russian, so squish went his gooey pod.
With GCC and near burnt out modules i decided to try my luck on a ratting destroyer who warps off, aww so i dock her for the night.
She is a fun ship to fly very weak but effective. I will be logging back on to night to see what else i can snag with the all mighty one.

The Navitas - Fitting The Mighty Beast
The mighty or not so mighty Navitas.
This is the ship i am going to start off with, thanks to Laedy and yes it is very cruel but i am willing to try any ship that gets suggested!!
Ok so my first impression was "what a useless ship" no combat bonuses only cargo and mining, to make matters worse it only has two high, mid and low slots each!! So i started with my EFT escapades.
Fit attempt one - As commented by Randunip saying duel rep navis preform well i set my sights on one of these. First impression was good, the 5% bonus to the cargo capacity will be really good to fit all the cap boosters i plan to consume. The problem is once i fit a cap booster and point i have no prop mod this means i can only go 332m/s. Gun wise i have fitted auto cannons due to there low fitting requirements, the range they have over blasters and the fact they use no cap which will be vital to the ships survival.
Fit attempt two - This one is a armor buffer fit, it will give me 2.8k EHP i could have it to 3.2k by adding another trimark rig but i would be alot slower, so i added a projectile burst rig to give me that little more dps. The plan with this ship is to get under a ships guns before i die or brawl it out with a more superior frigate and most likely die.
Fit attempt three - Well i have to give it a go. This fit will orbit at 15km out side of heated web range and SLOWLY work through an opponent. The problem i have been having is that the cap is so small it can not handle the MWD or the point running let alone the guns, i have tried to compensate this with the semi conducter rigs but will still have alot of problems, also i have had problems with the EHP, the ship only have 831 that only means one shot will kill it. All the same i will give it ago.
I will try these three fits and hopfully get atleast one win, and please post comments on how i can fit them better if at all.
Hope to see you out there tonight in lisba i will wave from my doomed Navitas o/.
Mitch
PS. Please comment on how i can possibly improve these ships and more ship suggestions, Thanks

It is up to YOU!!!
I have had an idea to make more of an "interactive" blog!! it is to have you decide what ships i should fly!!
The way it works is that you suggest a ship and i will try to get kills in it or die trying and i will post the results win or loose and the fits i came up with.
The rules are that the suggested ship must be a T1 ship up to battle ship and T2 frigs but must NOT be faction ship.
If there are a few suggestions to choose from i will put up a poll and get you guys/girls to vote for one.
Ships i can fly:
All frigs T1 and T2 (including noob ships)
All destroyers, cruisers and battle cruisers.
Gal/cald battle ships,
So please comment which ship and i will give it ago.
Mitch
PS> if there are no comments i will just work my way through the list of ships starting with figs and ending in bs, but comments will be more fun!!

Game Wise
I have joined the tuskers and have gone on a few raom with then and they are an awesome bunch of guys, got my first T3 kill, Linky it was a fail hybrid PVP, PVE, Stealth ship. I also moved all my stuff from helg back up to Lisba.

The Tuskers
It has always been a secret ambition of mine to join the Tuskers, ever since I first locked horns with them back in my noobie days.
So I applied to join them, after submitting my application and a interview with one of the directors i was accepted!!! YAY!!!
I am now a part of one of the most elite pirates corps out in space Yarrrr. I am very happy to be flying with a great group of people and hope to get to know all of them well.
Once I get all my ships lined up and go on some roams I will have some great story's to tell, but until then.....

Griffin vs Cane = Win
Soo my computer is still not working properly, some disc read error keeps coming up grrr, but i did mange to log on after down time on night and found a ratting Huricane.
I warped in on the cane and took out the menancing drones and started the process of killing it. It took some time with the rats killing my griffins only drone cutting my DPS by like half haha. Once the cane exploded I warped of victoryous.
Oh and if any one knows what is wrong with my computer please tell me this is the second time it happend, it try to start and says "disc read error press crl + alt + del to restart" it is giving me the shits grrr!!

The story of my first pvp encounters
Since my computer is broken i thought i would tell my story about my first visits to low-sec. It is full of my first fail fits and my first kills i got in pvp.
I started out as most of us do doing tutorials and missions. I like many others go bored of mission running and the thought of mining, well lets just say i would rather watch grass grow.
I had been listening to my friends that were saying "don't go to low-sec you will die" and "there are asshole pirates there that will pod you" and so on and so on. Let me say if anybody is wrecking people going into low-sec its not the pirates that live there it is the care bears that are to scared to go and tell others not to.
Well after what my friends said and all the warnings i thought bugger this i am bored and want to do something, so i gear up my drake and went into low-sec.
I went in and done some ratting and got killed as quick as what people say in my most failest of drake fits ever, i am ashamed to post the link to it haha. After that i decided to fly into a wormhole i scanned down and died then back to low-sec and died again the back into a wormhole and died again and then back into low-sec again to die once more, i got podded a few time along the way as well and had fun dieing.
Ok so after dieing a bit me and a couple of my friends decided to fleet up and fight back, we did not go to good at start but we were happy make explosions out of our ships.
Then we got our first kill oh and what a kill it was, we were out numbered and died but we went down fighting and took a rapier and jaguar with us, which i think is good for a couple of noobs. Then we started killing more and more and more and more and even more.
One of the best fights we had was vs a bunch of pirates, it was us 3 vs 6 of them (Hurricane, Ishkur, Rifter, Navy comet, Malediction and a Wolf) we killed all but one who escaped and we took one loss, we came out on top and i had a fixed smile i could not get rid of..... at all hahaha!!!!
I joined a couple of pirate corporations and got some more pvp experience and learned alot for some more experienced pilots. Now i am in a corp i made myself to just roam around in and do pvp. Solo pvp is fun but i must say i do miss flying with my friends from the start, they were always good fun roaming with.
All in all my advice to anybody that wants to do low-sec pvp is get some ships and expect to lose lots of them and if you can take a couple friends with you to back you up, solo is fun but not as fun as flying with friends!!

Broken Computer and Some Fun Kills
As many from my old corp. know I got a new computer a month ago after my last one got blown up by lighting, I am having some problems with windows loading, the problem is it's not lol, it is because of some hard disk error or something so I am not going to be able to play for a while.
I had some fun on Saturday before my computer broke so that will keep me going for a little bit.
I started of on Friday night before down time in my griffin, I lest from my home in Helgatild back to my first low sec home lisbaetanne it was a quiet 30 or so jumps to get there but when I did I came across one of my ex corp. mates. Him and a rifter pilot were killing a ratting Armageddon I fleeted with him and landed and started to help him kill it, after a few seconds the rifter pilot obviously did not want me there and opened fire on me, so I jammed him so I did not die as my 1043 ehp i die quickly lol.
As the geddon poped I turned my attention to the rifer who was orbiting me, I web and scrammed him and started to seek my revenge for him trying to kill me, he was cap boosted and took a lot of beating to break his armor and as I did he warped his loki alt on me and yellow boxed me I decided to see if the loki had guns and kept on going on the rifter, as the loki had no guns and it scare tactic did not work it warped off, I finished off the rifter and to my surprise he was a faction fit 170mil rifter lol no wonder he wasn't happy.
Now I thought I was in the right as I warped into help a old friend who I am not blue with to kill a Armageddon, I get agreesed by a not blue rifter I kill the rifter and he starts bitching about how it was unfair I killed him. As I saw it at the time if you are red to me and you agrees me I have the right to kill you, yes? or am I wrong??
Any way the next morning I undock my griffin and head to top belt and find a rifter and a merlin ratting. I sit there at 70km off them the ignore me so I decided to go in and try to kill them I engage the merlin at max scram range to negate some of the incoming damage and it works only a small amount of missile damage, I start to work on his shields when the rifter pilots locks me I use my jammer to perma jam his rifter so he is useless, he warps off and come back only to be jammed up again.
as the merlin dies I turn my attention to the rifter as a second merlin warps in, I quickly kill the rifter as the merlin get my shields to 0% , I swap targets and get a few off racial jam on him and his ship ends up having the same fate as the others, I loot the field and warp off to a safe spot to wait out my gcc.
next is how I loose my griffin but it was sooo worth it. I dock and repair and notice a hulk on scan, a solo hulk in low sec = my lucky day, I warp to the belt he is in and quickly get point, I quickly get swarmed by hammerhead drones but they are not hitting me very well and I quickly take them down. As i start to down the hulks shields a harbi warps in on me I decide to ignore him as he would love to kill a hulk and keep pounding the hulks shields, what can I say I was wrong the harbi locks me and in one foul swoop I am sitting in a pod. But at least his lazors finished the hulk off making it worth while. I convo the harbi pilot to get the kill mail link and he said he killed me first because he did not want me to tackle him, lol I guess the word of the mighty griffin is spreading!
With loosing my mighty griffin and with no spares I decide to jump clone back to Helg to fly with a friend, to not make this to long i got a couple of kills a Tranis and two Rifters, I also lost a battle Celestis to gate guns and an Ishkur to a neut Huricane. All in all a fun day of flying.
PS. I now have a new corp mate Fiveohs, so that now 2 people in my corp lol!!
PPS.. If you want to join my corp for some fun casual flying mail me in game, Thanks.

Battle Celestis
So came up with a WTF trap cruiser and have wanted to try it out. So I undocked my new celestis and went looking for trouble as I undocked I noticed a dramiel on scan, to good of an opportunity to pass up
I warp to belt one at 50 km. I sit there for a moment, he lands at 0km on the belt and burns straight for me. Now being a damping ship or so I wanted him to think I fired my MWD as I locked him and headed the other way to range him, lol he fall right into my trap gets within 10km of me and I scrambled, webbed and med neuted him and launched my warrior 2s on to and he started dying, I approached him and started firing my small blasters and he popped quickly. Gfs were exchanged in local and he was on his way.

My Weekend Of Griffining
Undocking my all mighty griffin seeking a fight I find one quickly. It is a thrasher doing anomalies, I approach it lock jam and scram it and it pops with a satisfying boom. I loot is wreck and a hurricane appears and locks me, I gap of to station and drop my web for another jammer and head back to kill the cane but when I land he is gone so I align and when I do I knock the cloak off a hound I quickly lock him and jam him up and he dies quickly to the might of the griffin, I loot his wreck and head to a safe to wait out gcc as the cane has now left system.
I fly my griffin the next day in to Brin and warp to the sun to try some D-scanning. As I land on the sun I see a claw 200 km off me, ah an interceptor easy pickings if I get a web/scram on him. I sit still he sees me and warps to 0 at the sun and is right next to me, we both lock each other and he is jammed before he get to shoot his guns and with a web and scram on him he is in my little trap and he goes kaboom.
I point his pod and try to convo him for a ransom but he emo rage logs before I can say hello, thinking how rude I pod him and collect his 500k bounty.
After failing to get a success full ransom out of the claw pilot I jump system and look for a new target, ah a rifter bouncing around system. My griffin lads on top of him and he warps off, I guess my flashy redness scared him. I private convo him and ask if he would like a 1v1 fight, being a young pilot keen for some pvp he agrees and we meet in a safe, we clash horns he lets a shot of and my shields vanishes I jam him and he is now a sitting duck I blast away his armor then structure. I stop at the last bit of his structure and he asked for a ransom. I agreed and he asked how much, being grumpy from missing out on the last ransom I did what I always do to cheer up I ransomed him for a joke.
He replied:
What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephant?
I said What?
Hello Elephant o/
What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephant in sun glasses?
I said what?
Nothing he did not recognize him lol
What did Tarzan say when he saw giraffe?
Hmm I said hello giraffe??
No he said dam elephant you won’t fool me twice.
I laughed and let him go on his merry way, yay for a successful ransom.
My First Miner
So back from my holiday over Christmas I log on and see my corp has pretty much disbanded. So with no corp I decide to undock and try my luck at some shenanigans, as I entered space a see a rorqual in industrial siege mode, I hit the directional scan and see 3 mackinaws on scan. Looks like a bit more than my griffin can chew so I dock up and bring out the mighty ishkur, I warp to the ice belt and land on top of one of the macks, my ishkur lock points and proceeds to kill his shields, one of the macks warp off and the other 2 macks launch their medium drones on me but the don’t seem to be doing me any credible damage so I ignore them and finish of the silly miner.
The mack that warped off lands straight back on top of me in a cynabal, he points me so gridding my teeth and point and tracking disrupt him back, it works he can’t hit me I start to hit him hard then WTF dam ecm drones, my target drops which means to do some math ‘no target + no TD + no scram = ouch’ I die quickly. All I can say is I would gladly trade my 40mil ishkur for an 110mil miner any day lol.
Some People have to much isk
So a bit late posting this one, sorry.
Ok so this guy and his mates are doing a L5 mission or something like that in the neighboring system, they are flying in a drake, tengu and a fleet tempest which is to much candy for a pirate like me to resist. I log on my alt and scan them down, and a couple of cycles later he got them.
My corp mates and I fleet up, I warp in my dramiel as fast tackle and enter there mission there they are 60km away, I fire my MWD nothing happens dam dead space missions but luckily it’s a duel prop dram the AB fires in to life and it is there in seconds, locking up the tempest I call point over comms and my corp mates heads in. As I hold point on the tempest I start getting absolutely hammered by drones and missiles my shield buffer disappears and I enter armor a corp mate call point and I gap in low armor.
I hear over comms the tengu and fleet tempest escape, but they held point on the drake. My dramiel warps back in but the drake melts before I land. Now that is a expensive drake 155mil worth.
As soon as the drake finishes melting the fleet tempest warps back in, out of stupidity or from the helpless pleas of his mate but he lands next to me and I call point. He melts quickly and make on of the most pretty explosions ever. The kill mail gets posted and it is a whopping 771mil worth of faction ship and gear with a good drop of loot from the two ships leaving us all very happy!!
