I thought this month was going to be good, after last month where I killed alot and lost more than I should I thought I would do better this month but so far I have been introduced into the annoying part of being a pirate in lowsec.
Its been a strange month so far, some nights I will get some nice kills (Kill1 Kill2 Kill3) and then others I will do something stupid and die in a fire (Loss1 Loss2 Loss3). In short I have lost far too much this month and it is really eating into my isk buffer (yes yes I will take donations :P), this has meant I have had to go back to what I hate on my alt, manufacturing. Its going ok, minus the obvious problems with manufacturing and selling stuff in lowsec.
I have at least achieved some things this month though, I passed the 1000 kills mark (only if you total both my accounts) and have finally gotten into building bits and pieces of capital ships, which I have had the skills for since '09 but have never used.
In short though despite those minor achievements I need to stop doing stupid shit in my frigates and start becoming the 'efficient' solo pilot I was a couple of months ago.
Battle Reports???
Rifter vs. Rifter
It has been quite some time since I used a t1 frigate for a regular roam, rather than in 1v1 challenges, but I decided near the beginning of the month to fit up some shield rifters and go out to lose them.
As mentioned earlier though this happens to be one of the times I was feeling a little Pr0.
I jumped into Ofleim, seeing another Rifter on d-scan towards the Plex I warp to 0. I cam out of warp 11km off of this other Rifter, quickly getting into range of each other I realised a problem.....he was armor fit. This meant due to him having a web he would be able to dictate range on me. Making matters worse I default to the high damage ammo in a shield rifter, I needed to close range fast, overheating my AB I tried to keep as close as possible but the web was causing me problems.
Eventually he was low armor but I was also just entering armor, quickly I started hemorrhaging armor then bleeding hull at roughly the same time he was. Luckily the pew pew gods smiled on me and he popped with me at 20% structure. Unfortunately another Rifter landed just as I finished looting, I bugged out to live another day....by warping to a gate with gcc and very little hp left. My fight with the gate was quick and thanks to the 'rascist' gate guns not having tackle I was out with 5% structure. Derp.
All in all been a bit of an odd month on the pvp front, although the last couple of night have been alot better.

(Definitely not for the younger viewer)
damn, warping to gate with GCC was a derp lol. At least you made it out alive though.
ReplyDeleteAs for the losses, the only one I don't understand is how a Succubus chewed through an armor firetail with a TD on it. The other two seemed like you got jammed scrammed and ganged up on.
Yeah the problem with the firetail loss, I ran into scram range and attempted to neut him off....forgot that succubus get 2 utility highs and found myself neuted...meh.
