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!!
