Hands Off, My Loots!

Most people might not find this impressive, but as my very first ever solo fight I’m rather pleased with myself.

I just managed to kill Lady Spank, the infamous C&P Poster, Scammer, Sly Dog, and pretty much awesome person that needs to join SN…now.  And when I say ‘just’ I do mean it…this is my ship after the fight…note the hull remaining…14%, it was such a rush for me.

Also of note is the fact that Spank dropped a Coreli A-Type Reactive Plate…cheapest on Contracts is 20 mil.  I was planning on giving the loots back to him, but after seeing that, I figured I’d stick with the name of my blog, and style of gaming I’m into now…and so…Hands Off, My Loots!

The fight started easily enough.  I was sitting in station wondering about a post I had recently read about using ECM on a rifter and I thought I’d try it out.  There was someone outside station with a 1v1 can, but they pulled it and left literally right when I was undocking!  That’s when I saw Lady Spank say good night to everyone in local…so I thought I’d jump on the opportunity knowing Spank could never turn down a free fight.

Easy Enough!

So, out of warp pops Spank, and drops a can.  I head over, grab the bookmark (thanks for the free spank voucher) after I’ve got a lock and then wait for the red flashy to show up.  A Few seconds later and there it was!

Engage NOS! Engage ECM #1, wait a bit, Engage ECM #2, wait a bit longer, Engage ECM #3.  Somewhere in there I remember to active my guns as well…but that was all as I didn’t equip a point or afterburner since I didn’t expect Spank to run…and…I wanted 3 ECM so no afterburner for me.

The first cycle of all 3 missed I believe since my shield disappeared pretty much instantaneously, but my Armor took a little bit to start going down so I figured the ECM hit a few times to drop Spanks lock.  After I got him down to around 50% armor or so I started taking heavy damage and thought it was the end.

I activated my Armor Repper and took the damage off my armor as another ECM wave hit Spank and I got a little reprieve.  After that though, I think the last 2 cycles of all 3 ECM missed because after that my armor disappeared pretty quick as Spank entered low armor, and then hull.

I was sweating by this time as we were both in hull, and I know 100% that my armor repper saved me as it got in a few cycles so some damage went into armor instead of hull…excellent! (and to think, I almost didn’t equip it)

14% hull! Crap I’m going die!  There’s the explosion, the bright blue flash, and there’s my pod…no…wait…that’s not my pod?  Sweet! I won!

After the fight, we exchanged GF’s in local, and Spank mentioned ECM was boring!  Probably for him because he’s been doing it longer (he had t2 fit, etc…I can’t even use t2 small guns yet…I’m working on it).  I found it exilirating and my hearts still pumping from excitement!

I’ll have to do this again sometime, it was a blast.
