A Pause in Writing About PewPew to PewPew

Our corp chat goes:


Razor: saw 22 neutrals in local and was like "HOLY SHIT" and pounded scans..... before i realized high sec
Sugar: when Chella lands on a gate sometimes. I'm like SHIT SHIT SHIT. Gatecamp!

It is amusing how foreign high security space can be to us sometimes.

It took me forever to write up last night's roam. I don't know why. My day just kinda filtered away all relaxed and somewhat sleepy. I had a lot of chatting t do and some other stuff of interest. Dher harassed me that I wouldn't be able to shut up and write but I managed!

Anyway, as I was trying to write a cyclone, cyclone, drake, drake fleet hopped into the system. LR was undocked and eyeballing them already. Razor and I undocked and Fried was somewhere nearby.

We had several different types of neutrals in the system. Razor went off to the gate that he thought they were at. I aligned for the gate. Razor had landed and said they where there and agressed on him. I hit warp when Fried said that an Eve Uni member had jumped in. Eve Uni tends to travel in very, very large packs so I was confused if it was a trap situation. I had a "Shit, I just jumped into a trap" moment.

By the time I landed on the gate. Razor had jumped through. The cyclones and drakes where all red and yellow. Defiantly not Eve Uni. I hopped through the gate as well. LR was reshipping into a mega. They had popped him it seems. I missed that as I was getting onto coms. They came after me through the gate but I burned off and hit a safe while they and Razor decided what they wanted to do at the gate.

Once they engaged Razor he pulled range on them. I bounced back to the gate and landed. The first cyclone we went after had an ASB on him. He was boosting like a beast and eating up our damage. I sent my ECM drones to the second cyclone to jam him and pointed one of the two drakes. LR came through with his Mega and started powering through the shield regen of the cyclone.

That is when they started to shoot at me. Eeek. Poor me! With a Talos, Mega and Drake on grid with me, I was the most likely target. Woe is me! I was pointed and neuted and someone was stealing my cap as well. Lovely. Range was a damn good idea at that moment. The first cyclone went down and we started on the second. With the first one down everyone started to deaggress. One drake jumped. We tried to bump the other off the gate as we burned through the second cyclone. He managed to jump as we started on him.

Two cyclones down and GCC. I scooped wrecks and then bounced back off to my safe in 5% shields. Gateguns. Sigh. Fried checked the system and Razor and LR went back through. Then Razor's headset broke. Nice timing.

I was floating in space for a while, letting GCC wear down when I realized that it was a stupid idea to just sit out there. I'd get bored and stop hitting dscan soon and get shot. I let my shields regenerate up to half and then hopped back through to my home system. There, I warped off the gate to a pounce to let my shields creep up some more before I went to dock.

"Myrm landing on the gate."

O' really? I was sitting over the gate at my pounce. LR landed on the gate as I landed. The Myrm jumped through and I pounced into the gate. LR lit up the Myrm but it ran back to the gate and jumped through. The problem was that Fried was on the other side. I followed him through and Fried tackled him as I uncloaked.

He went for the gate again but decided not to go back through. I don't blame him. He decided to aggress me. Ouch, drones. However, I did it right back to him and broke his jam on me. I bumped him to try to encourage him to move away from the gate. I also then ran away from him because blasters hurt really, really bad and I was right in his face.... however LR made it through the gate a moment to late...

Then I went to finish writing up last nights stuff.

    Wow, nice. :-) Now if only most BRs went that way instead of the sulky "I didn't want that anyway," or "we held the field, ISK doesn't matter," bullshit you see as on Failheap... :-/

    BR is short for battle report. It's generally a summarization of how an engagement went down. Occasionally they are written for small engagement like you did, but they really become important in large scale fleet fights. A simple friendly/hostile distribution on the killboard doesn't really show what happened or why the k/d distribution was a certain way, especially when numerous different fleets are involved in the same battle.

Maybe one day!

 [15:32:10] Trig Vaulter > Sugar Kyle Nice bio - so carebear sweet - oh you have a 50m ISK bounty - so someday more grizzly  [15:32:38 ] Sugar Kyle > /emote raises an eyebrow to Trig  [15:32:40 ] Sugar Kyle > okay :)  [15:32:52 ] Sugar Kyle > maybe one day I will try PvP out When I logged in one of the first things I did was answer a question in Eve Uni Public Help. It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

Conflicted

Halycon said it quite well in a comment he left about the skill point trading proposal for skill point changes. He is conflicted in many different ways. So am I. Somedays, I don't want to be open minded. I do not want to see other points of view. I want to not like things and not feel good about them and it be okay. That is something that is denied me for now. I've stated my opinion about the first round of proposals to trade skills. I don't like them. That isn't good enough. I have to answer why. Others do not like it as well. I cannot escape over to their side and be unhappy with them. I am dragged away and challenged about my distaste.  Some of the people I like most think the change is good. Other's think it has little meaning. They want to know why I don't like it. When this was proposed at the CSM summit, I swiveled my chair and asked if they realized that they were undoing the basic structure that characters and game progression worked under. They said th
