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!!

Life

Well i havnt been posting as of late due to RL issues good and bad, but to keep all up to date with the happenings.

RL wise
I just got a new car YAY but 3 weeks later the gear box shat itself..... sad face, so it will be and extra 2000 dollars + to fix. Went out for a friends birthday last friday night (her 18th) got back from the pub/club/strip clubs on sunday night!! (was funny watching her slaping the chick stripers asses)

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.

Now i have all my ships back and can get back into the full swing of things. That means i will get out my selection of ships and start anoying the locals!!

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.

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!!
