Back on Track

And I’m now back, from outer space…

Not really 😛 Unfortunately RL got quite busy and i had no time between all my other obligations to log into Mystery except to update her skill plan.

But now I’m back so you can expect to see more spectacular loss mails from me in the near future. To cap off what’s gone on whilst I was away,

Week 2 happened with no changes to my kill board or even loss board for that matter. Not that the other competitor’s have slacked off, Zombie Boomstick has joined me on 1 solo kill and Projekt Badass is currently up to 4 solo kills. I got a lot of catch up to do 😀

Not solo related but i went on a roam with two members of my corp today and found some interesting things out. The fight was quite stupid and if we had known more about the ships and their bonuses we could have avoided the loss.

Lossmail -> To paint the picture we had 3 frigates in our gang, my crucifier, a rifter and a slasher. We find a Thorax on a gate at 0 and lock him up. We worked out he was Blaster fit and we pulled into nice 10km+ orbits to avoid the damage (we weren’t worried if that was still in falloff range as dual Tracking speed TD’s sorta screw all over his tracking)we started our attack and finding us swiftly cutting through his shields he jumped the gate. Not a problem we thought, as we re-approached the gate and waited for our timers to disappear. Maybe we can get him to aggress one of us and then we can kill him. Unfortunately we played gate games with him 5 or 6 more times until we gave up.

Not wanting to dwell on it we packed up and jumped a few more system towards home when we saw him jump into the system we were in. Hoo-rah we thought  we’ll catch him when he is off the gate after he follows us through and then we will get our long awaited thorax kill mail. Seeing a Vexor on scan and not thinking anything of it, he rocked up and quickly made work of our slasher, then myself and finally our Rifter.

What the hell we thought. the guy was in a Thorax before, how did he just beat us now??

Double web, mwd and long point fit was the answer to why we got our asses kicked. It was unthinkable to us that he had re-shipped to something he knew would and could kick the shit our of all three of us. In retrospect it’s quite simple and smart to do. In Eve no quarter is given and no fight is fair. Words I shall remember from now on.

Was not an entirely bad roam, we did some offensive plexing and saw some awesome explosions. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the holidays have to bring.
