Gank gone wrong...

this evening started out like any other. we are at war with another corporation but they havnt been around to fight, so i decided it was a nice time to learn how to probe out ships. i started in otou, my new old stomping ground. its one of my favourites because of the arrangement of belts makes it pretty easy to find people on the directional scanner. so i start probing and after about 20 minutes of that and no positive results, i decided to give up and try my luck on some targets i saw on directional scanner. i dock up and grab my trusty arbitrator all t2 fitted with my array of drones. this may not seem like much to you, but with only 4.5mil sp, i think im doing pretty good to have a -10 sec status mainly from the use of my arby.

i head out to my scan spot to start looking through the belts. i can see them on 360 but cannot seem to find anything on 5. so i decide to sit in a belt and wait. nothing comes. i grow bored and tired and make one last attempt at 5 degree scans and i get a hit, a punisher on planet 6! this is too good to pass up and will be easy for me to pop if i can get a lock on him before he bolts. i warp into to planet 6 area at 0 and viola, there he is and ready to fight.

Keithâ€™s the name, miningâ€™s the game. Well, at least it used to be. What feels like ages ago I was a top notch miner. I flew my hulk with pride, grinning as I watched any and all Gurista pilots fail to pierce my shield. Eventually I got bored of that life and moved on. I found myself an agent under the employment of the Corporate Police Force. A few months later I found myself staring out at my CNR wishing for something else though not sure what. It was time for a change again, that much I knew. I had grown bored of the constant errands of the Corporate police. I left my raven in the station, grabbed myself the first Frigate I could find and jumped dock.

A few days later I found myself sitting behind the controls of my first Punisher, floating in the depths of the Old Man Star System. I pulled up my scanner window, rather unfamiliar with it I fiddled for a few minutes until I managed to figure it out. A few hits, some cruisers, and command ships. I thought better of engaging just yet. My patience was rewarded as a little later I picked up an Incursus on scan. I tried several times to locate and ambush the Incursus, but to my dismay every time the belt I warped to came zooming into view there was no ship to be found.

I continued stubbornly, missing the ship by mere seconds I could swear. Another 4 or so misses and I gave up, sighing as my attempt flopped, or so I thought. My screens lit up, alarms went off as I felt the ship lurch. Sensors indicating an Incurses off to the side, about 5km already firing on me. It was the same guy I had been chasing all day. I quickly turned the ship around, heading straight for him. My afterburner giving me the sweet speed I desired, as I swept past him, bright blue lights flaring from my lasers. My shield at this point was nearly gone. I threw on my NOS hoping his capacitor would be generous to mine as well as my damage control and my small armor rep. I took 2 solid hits nearly taking my armor to 50%. I was sure I was done for. My lasers had managed to obliterate his shield, but seemed slowed at his armor. I figured it must be plated and that this was turning out worse than I had anticipated. My repper began working the armor back into existence as we traded volleys. I soon became aware that my armor was regenerating faster than he could damage it now. His guns had stopped firing and my warp drive was online again. I had lucked out, his capacitor was empty. A few more seconds and I watched his armor disintegrate.

I quickly pondered the notion of calling off my lasers and requesting some Isk for his safe passage. This is the moment I realized that even though my own intentions were hostile, he had attacked me and there was just no way that I was going to let him get away with that. I grinned as the last of his hull was melted and destroyed by my lasers. I offered a simple good fight to his comm system on his pod and warped off after collecting some of his modules. I hadnâ€™t realized until it was over how hard my heart had been beating, the few moments where I could swear I had stopped breathing and the almost twitching sensation of my fingers at the controls. The Corporate Police Force can find themselves a new errand boy, I know where I belong.

The adventures of Strings EP4!

Ok everyone. Here's episode 4, and as promised in EP 3, it's one of me actually winning

Alright. I'm off to my new pirating location in Essence, since the anti-pirate alliance, CVA, was cracking down on me in Domain.

I have to jump through some low-sec space, which isn't a problem, but I take off autopilot and start to fly my way there. When I jump through to the next system, I had feeling. A good feeling. Call it dumb luck, or the "Pirate's Sixth Sense." Regardless, I had a feeling.

I jump in, and right from the gate I can see 4 belts. I decided to give them a quick scan and be on my way, when I catch a Ferox in one of those belts. Lucky for me he didn't rename his ship, so I got to check out his credentials. He was still in a starter corp. Nice, a cearbears alt.

Now here's the major decision. I'm in a bleeder Punisher, aptly named Termite, (I take bites out of big things, and I'm hard to get rid of ) and he's in a Caldari BC. "What the hey, I'll give it a shot." I jump in.

Immediatly when I see and lock him, my heart starts racing. I know this is going to be quite a fight. I scram him, and kick on my ab to close the range before he knows what's going on. I get to under 10km away before he gets me locked and sends the drones and missiles my way.

I'm up close now, and shut down my ab to save the cap I know I'll need. I set my nos on him, and target his drones. OUCH! In about 2 seconds he takes down 3/4 of my shields. I kick in the armor repper to prevent him from digging deep into my armor. POP goes one drone. 2 to go. Pop goes the second.... 2 more to go? He let loose another drone. He has 3 drones out again. My armor is half gone already.

This is bad.

Read on.
