I joined ShinRa from a pirate corp to be part of something bigger and hit the next level in PvP action. Pos wars and 100 ship fleets are fun and I love Lotka Volterra, but when the directors ordered us to go out, spread the name of LV far and wide and kill things, I knew what to do.
I cloned to empire, fitted out a Rook and headed to my old pirate haunts. I hit up a few friends who were still in the area and get a run down on blues and hostiles.
I jump into Adirain and scan the 4/10 plex - Bingo! Caracal to the gate n jump straight in. He's 60 from me and I figure he will run from my -0.9 sec. Nope he approaches me, I lock, scram and 3 volleys later he is dust. I notice afterwards he wasnt jammed - I'd hit a gallente racial on a caldari ship LOL

While I wait off the flag, I hear there may be targets in OMS, I arrive there to find xxx ransoming a pod :-) We scan around and find a mining op. Vexor, Retriever, Hoarder. As we warp the plan is I will jam the Vex while xxx engages it and we will just have to see where the others are. I land at 14km to barge, 25 to indy and 30+ to the Vex, xxx is nearly 40 from the Vex (curses).
I AB to the indy as I scram n pop the barge.

The Vex warps off before we can point him. Much later that evening after some food and a break one of our friends is being attacked in belt1 in aeschee. I warp in at 100 to see what is happening. As I warp I hear that all the ships there are flagged and hostile Nice :-)
I lock the Raven and Af we find there and wait for the call of points on targets before I start to jam (want then to think they have a chance right up until they dont). Sure enough they are both scrammed and I jam them both. We pop the AF first while jam and scram the Raven :

Part of the killmail gives an indication why it took so long:
Destroyed items:
Dread Guristas Ballistic Deflection Field
On inspecting the can we find a selection of Dark Blood this-and-that. Now on escrow for a total of 490Mil. So a round 70mil each. Names omitted to protect the guilty. Killmails truncated on last 2 kills as there were 6 then 7 of us.
Looks like I'm back in the piratting game with a bang! :-)

Nice story man, but alot of your kills are pretty much one sided that you post. Not that you shouldnt post them, just...
Zealot Vs Ishkur
Rook Vs Crackacal
Raven fight tho, Kudos, nice kill.
Yep I agree some fights can be one sided. I hate to use the excuse "I can only fight what I can find" but I went out with the attitude of I will fight everything I find. Believe me after weeks of gate camps, POS poppin and 200km sniper fights, this was a much needed change.
wow another noob pirate story
Try going out with a t1 cruiser. Its much more fun taking on 2 bcs and winning with a t1 cruiser.
"I joined ShinRa from a pirate corp" - I have over 150 kills to my name, have been to -8.7 sec and back, made 50mil in ransoms (not really my thing) and over 300mil in loot.
Hardly a newb, but thanx for all your positive input. Did you perhaps fail to read the title of the piece - RETURN to piracy not START of piracy?
Ummm yeah...
"I was flying around and I killed this ship with a better ship"
Blah blah blah...
oooo, 150 kills. all a case of "I killed this ship with a better ship" ?, and seven of you onto how many ?.
