There I was, in a thanatos carrier carrying 0.5 bill worth of minerals, various t2 items and a zealot in my cargo. I was on my way from the edge of empire to our base in deep 0,0. I only had one pitstop to make before I could arrive to my destination.
A cyno-alt of mine goes into the pitstop-system and prepares to put up a cynosural field when I notice that there's one guy in local of this remote system. I wasnt too worried that I'd face trouble. I'd be out of there before the local inhabitant would even notice the cynosural field. But just to be sure I open my scanner and scanned 360.
To my surprise a Mackinaw appears on the scan results. I start to feel excited and wonder if it would be remotely possible to catch him. I had seen no enemies in the surrounding systems and this chance was just too good to give up.
The fact that there was only one ice-field in system allowed me to quickly locate him. I simply warped in my cyno-alt and spotted him by the far end of the icefield. Luckily there were several cargo cans strewn out around him which I could warp to.
"Warping..."
I land perfect, just within 5km of the Mackinaw and I pop up the cyno.
On my other screen I hit the jumpdrive ignition. And with lightspeed I arrived several systems further away in an instant.

Locking... 30s... 29s... 28s... it felt like an eternity. I only had one warp disruptor on the ship and no sensor boosters currently fitted. I had just setup quickly for capacitor recharge to be able to continue my journey as quick as possible. 10s... 9s.. 5s... Lock!
He must've been asleep at the keyboard.
I had him. It was stupid to send fighters on a small ship like a Mackinaw, but I was in for the scare-effect. It was just too good to give up and moments later a swarm of fighters were tearing at his ship.
Shortly after it seems like the pilot finaly woke up.

[03:13:33] Ander > I'm sorry
[03:13:41] Ander > want to pay up?
[03:13:50] Phideous > how much
[03:14:17] Ander > expensive setup?
[03:14:18] Phideous > hello?
[03:14:23] Ander > 60mill or so?
[03:14:28] Phideous > sure
[03:14:36] Ander > my gang member says 90
[03:14:39] Ander > is that ok?
[03:14:42] Ander > or bit high?
[03:14:47] Ander > I'll lower if it's too high
[03:14:58] Phideous > 90 is to high for me
[03:15:01] Ander > 60
[03:15:10] Phideous > I have 15 and have to take the rest from corp
[03:15:13] Ander > 60 then
[03:15:17] Phideous > kk
[03:15:21] Ander > calling it back
[03:15:26] Ander > send isk
[03:15:38] Phideous > moment
[03:15:52] Ander > huirry or I must blow you up
My wallet started flashing and the first portion of the isk had arrived. At this moment I was wondering if he was trying to delay me to call in support.
[03:16:00] Ander > that's 15
[03:16:04] Ander > 45 more
[03:16:08] Phideous > moment
However that was not the case and the full amount I had asked for was recieved.
[03:16:48] Phideous > there ya go
[03:16:53] Ander > yer free to go
In a flash , just as quick as I had arrived I was out.

Hahaha a mining barge pwned by a carrier.
Dude, freakin hilarious.
Nice. Does a Rifter vs a Covetor work? I popped him even though he had heavies out.
And here I am feeling really bad for calling you Secondary in JV1... I should have called you Primary :P
Fly safe
Funny, I bet if I did that, I'd be flamed into a crisp on this site. :)
Good work though. :)
Nice :D
Haha nice. It's funny how little things like that can turn out to be nice little surprises. My new motto of the week is going to be, "Hey, it never hurt to try."
Funny story. =)
You fly Macks Nexa? When did that happen? Since when you flew EXHUMERS (coughnotbargescough)?
and Ander... why didn't you bring your carrier to JV1? It would have been fun to help pop it with fighters on my rear :P
