Yes. It Was Worth It

Linkin Park - What I've Done

My first dip into outlaw status was unexpected.

But as I often do... let me back track to earlier...

Earlier, the boys got in a massive (by our scales) battleship fight. I didn't go along. They owned all over it. They managed to drag their intital eight battleships just jumping into the fight into a hot drop with triage carriers backing them up. They lost two out of fourteen. The other fleet lost 20 out of thirty one.

They were all sorts of worked up after that. When everyone got settled back down we went looking for trouble. Space has been rather busy of late. It is a good thing. End of summer reactivation means more people. With all the chances to the game and shifting of null sec there is a lot of moving happening.

Anyway, the boys found two members of a corp that can perhaps be called enemies. I doubt we will ever see more then eye to autocannon with this group. It was enough. Their proteus engaged our bait damnation.

That led to the swift destruction of the proteus and his sleipnir friend that came to assist him. With that completed, there was a general run back to see if another fight could happen by the other bait ship. However, he was not able to get anything decently engaged.

During the hot drop, a third party member said, "You hot dropped for that?" to which he was told, "We'd hot drop for just you to!"

With nothing on the horizon there was a general decision to go and bash a POS they had been looking at. I downshiped to something faster and more tackle capable then my hurricane. The goal is to take out whomever comes to try to hot drop us before the drop happens. So we had a nice subcap fleet to support our capital ship fleet.

This is the second time of late someone was manning the tower. Someone decided to try to reload the guns in a cheetah. The cheetah was popped and we managed to tackle the pod as well. Suspicion is that the pilot was quad boxing accounts. That slows the reflexes a bit.

I popped his pod. I didn't think twice about it. The FC goes, "Sugar, grab that pod" and I said, "Already on it". It was a nice pod kill as well at 288mil. He had some nice implants in. I didn't think much about it until I checked my sec status when I noticed that I had GCC. Mentally, I expected it to be around -4.8 or -4.9. I forgot what a pod does to you.

For anyone that would like to see what pod killing does to your sec status in low sec, here you go. I have a stack of sec gains from running exploration sites. It is a nice showing to see how small gains are and how huge hits are. Also, my sec hit was instantaneous but my sec gains have to wait on the 15 minute 'tick'. I will also note that not every ship I shoot is reflected under my security status log because shooting outlaws does not create sec hits or gains.

Hello flashy red outlaw status.

And the only lesson that I learned is that pods are often full of surprise goodness.

  1. It's sad to see that blobbing has become the norm even in lowsec. It used to be that you could get small gang fights, but now when you engage with 2 man it almost always means you get outnumbered 8 to 1. Even so called 1v1s are more often than not 1v2 or 3 (booster, falcon).

    Sad.

    1. It goes full circle for all sides. Sometimes we are out numbered. Sometimes we do the out numbering. Sometimes it is equal(ish).

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

Memoirs - Part Seven: The Taste of Scandal

Virtual Realities: Memoirs of an internet spaceship politician by Sugar Kyle CSM9, CSMX Viewers get some drama Is there any election that is scandal free? Virtual space politics are not excluded. Sometimes the scandals come from the people ruining. Sometimes they come from outside of that. “I can’t wait to enjoy the drama!” someone had said to me about the election. Those words would haunt me later as I fought not to be caught up and defined by the decisions another person had made. While I played the game and tried to convince people of my worthiness a dark drama was sweeping across the game. The CSM does not dictate game policy. CCP does that. It does not stop many from seeing the members as vocal representatives. It was a public post made by one member of the CSM that started a fire that would take years to go out. Eve Online is an interactive video game with few social rules. It is one of the games charmes. If you can trick another player into making a po

And back again

My very slow wormhole adventure continues almost as slowly as I am terminating my island in Animal Crossing.  My class 3 wormhole was not where I wanted to be. I was looking for a class 1 or 2 wormhole. I dropped my probes and with much less confusion scanned another wormhole. I remembered to dscan and collect my probes as I warped to the wormhole. I even remembered to drop a bookmark, wormholes being such good bookmark locations later. My wormhole told me it was a route into low sec. I tilted my head. How circular do our adventures go. Today might be the day to die and that too is okay. That mantra dances in the back of my head these days. Even if someone mocks me, what does that matter? Fattening someone's killboard is their issue not mine. So I jumped through and found myself in Efa in Khanid, tucked on the edge of high sec and null sec. What an interesting little system.  Several connections to high sec. A connection to null sec. This must be quite the traffic system.    I am f
