Pirates Ahoy! #3 What goes around comes around
Last month was the most successful in my pirating career to date. Top of the list for Top Killer, Top Scorer, Solo killer and Top Pod Killer. No mean feat considering the quality of pilots we have at the Bastards. My winning streak have seen my battleclinic ranking rise from 20000 to 15000. I hope to get myself in the top 10000 by the end of the year.
That all said and done the last ten days have been dreadful, I mean really dreadful. Starting with my losses on the day of CDM #19 with the loss of 2 Nemesis and a pod my losing streak continued; 1 Worm, 2 Ishkurs, a Navy Comet, an Enyo, an Ibis and 2 more pods. Auch…
I kill lots, I get killed lots…
I guess what goes around comes around…
Easter Sunday and ‘o my’ was Evati bustling. Lots of mission runners and a pair of slippery canes that thus far have proven too slippery. This time their mission was easily probed out and I choose a Buffer Myrmidon for the job.
I got all the way in my slow-boat to their last room but I was 3 k too far too get a point and they ran away. This repeated itself a few times and thus I went balls out and reshipped into a test fit Navy Comet. Again my prey spooked and ran away until I reached their last room for a 3rd time in Comet. This time they didn’t run, I burnt towards the closer of the two trying desperately to keep up some transversal. I failed and the 2 canes made short work of my test fit Comet.
This had gone on for more than an hour and as the y where committed to their mission I was now bound with their destruction in mind. A further 4 attempts included logofski, cloak and patience. Patience finally won as I simply sat in their mission’s last room and waited for them. The combined power of the 2 Canes where hard to deal with but I stayed calm, only briefly moving point from the first to the second foe. With one dispatched it was still a close call but I was victorious in my burning Myrmidon Hull.
They kill my Comet, I kill their Canes…
I guess what goes around comes around…
Non other than Roc Wieler came up to visit Evati shortly after. I had promised him a little present and he was keen to come and pick it up. A swift drink in one the local bars later I requested to trade with him. One by one I picked the modules I figured he would require to fit the Dramiel I had purchased for him.
With the Dramiel fitted and good to go, the Colonel was keen to set off. The gift had some self interest I admit, I have travelled up to Dal on various occasion’s looking for Roc, either to attempt a kill or to fleet up. This was my opportunity to escort his shiny new Dramiel back to Dal.
Rocs spider-senses where highly alert and some light paranoia started to brew as I too was finally ready to depart. Roc although thankful for the complex fit Dramiel kept on his toes at all times, me being a pirate after all…
My alt scouted the route ahead and a mere 4 jumps later a lone Vagabond sat at a gate. Myself and Roc pulled up into respective safe-spots. I recognised the pilots name… I killed him just a few days earlier in my Vexor against his Navy Slicer. An odd choice for him to attack me I thought at the time and simply branded him a noob.
I explained the situation to Roc and as the Vaga had a negative security status I asked if he fancied a kill on the way. ‘Sure’ Roc replied. The Vaga was a mere 8 k from my Enyo as I jumped through. I de-cloaked and burned for him, I was pleased to see the Vaga also engaged me taking away his option of jumping through the gate.
My shields and a large part of armour stripped away from my vessel before I reached a comfortable orbit around the target. ‘Point!’ I muttered into our fleet comm. My armour slowly repaired itself until…’the capacitor is empty’ Aura spoke softly. ‘O crap’ I managed, ‘what?’ Roc replied now also engaging. My weapon systems switched off and my target lock broke indicating a form of ECM being used on me as well. My transversal now looping in wider arks and my afterburner not responding resulted in the loss of the Enyo.
I warped out my pod and requested Roc’s status. Comms stayed quiet and I warped back to the gate at 100 to see Roc kill the Vaga. Alas no such luck, on landing the Vaga was still in one piece and the Colonel was now also in his pod.
That pilot sure got lucky with our two vessels loots. Although non of the good stuff from the Enyo survived, Roc’s vessel still had some complex items in its cargo hold.
I killed Tuquita’s Faction Frig and he owned me and the Colonel in our shinys..
I guess what goes around comes around…
Mr Wieler scanned the local stations and found one with a gym just a jump away. This is where we parted our ways, a mere 4 jumps into our tour and I had picked a target with bigger teeth than us. My apologies Roc, I hope the gym sorted out that frustration.
I on the other hand whilst making some notes forgot I still hung 100 clicks from the gate I just got killed at. Not for long as Toquita’s Vaga by now had caught up with me and popped my egg.
I awoke in Amarr, 48 jumps from Evati as I had not moved my clone back there yet after my fight with Prometheus. I undocked in an Ibis intending to get safe and self-destruct my pod. No need it appeared as a sensor boosted battlecruiser did the hard work for me…
