Hands Off, My Loots!

Over the past year or so, quite a few Ninja Salvaging blogs have popped up.  Some of them are still going strong, while others kind of fizzeled out due to lack of play time/posting (I was one of these for a few months sadly…real life struck…but I’m back! YAY!!!!)

So, I thought that I’d give all my fellow ninjas a shoutout, while I’m annoucing the creation of the Eve Ninja Pack!

What? You’re competing with CK and the Blog Pack? Nope, I’m not…I’m just listing all the Ninja Blogs so I thought I’d give it a shiny name.

Anyway, without further ado..here’s the EVE NINJA PACK!!!

Most of the Ninja Pack right now is current, or former, members of Suddenly Ninjas.  This is simply because they are really the only Ninja Blogs I know about.  If you have a Ninja Blog, or know of one that isn’t on the list, please leave me a comment, or email me (cyberineve at gmail dot com) and I’ll add it.

One final thing:

A lot of people don’t know that I am a web host, and have been one for going on a decade now.  I didn’t want to compete with any of the other free/paid Eve hosts (yet…;)).  But, I would like to mention, that I offer free hosting to any Eve Ninja Blogger.  The free hosting that I provide is a full hosted account (not like the free podlogs or evepress where you don’t have total control).  I give you a cpanel (hosting controller) account, and full access to your site…you can upload anything you want (well…almost anything), and have full control over every aspect of your site…for free.

Domain wise, I can either hook you up with something.myloots.com, or you can buy your own domain, or I can buy one for you for $10/year (possibly ISK if we talk about it).

If you want to take me up on my offer…just shoot me an evemail (cyberineve at gmail com).

Well, I’ve been off and on a lot lately as you’ve noticed from my last two posts.  I’m back in game pretty much full time now, everything (well, still some personal stuff, blah blah) seems to be going well out of game now…if only things were going good in game .

Since I rerolled my character back in February, and then took another 3 month hiatus…I’m still a flying noob when it comes to skills.  I’ve been all over the place (I can’t just break the habit) so I still can’t really fit any ship decently, though I do have a rifter, battle vigil, and as of today a rupture I’ve been flying around in.

I actually don’t have many Tears for you today.  This post today is mostly about how can-flipping isn’t as fun as it used to be, and my complete failure to coax people into shooting me lately.  Are people starting to get smarter? Say it ain’t so!

[ 2010.07.07 00:58:35 ] decaigo > ill give you a chance to return or have the 939th corp after your ass
[ 2010.07.07 00:58:53 ] Cyberin > oh noes!
[ 2010.07.07 00:59:19 ] Cyberin > which corp is that? one that you aren’t a member of?

I stole this guys ore, a less than a full can of it…and of course got the standard threat.  I never heard from the “939th” and truthfully was a bit confused…because neither his corp, nor his alliance, has the number 939 in it…

[ 2010.07.07 15:10:23 ] Cyberin > are you here to avenge the ore that your corpy gave to me?
[ 2010.07.07 15:10:34 ] Silver Rook > lol nope
[ 2010.07.07 15:10:38 ] Cyberin >
[ 2010.07.07 15:10:42 ] Cyberin > darn
[ 2010.07.07 15:11:02 ] Cyberin > you sure?
[ 2010.07.07 15:11:10 ] Cyberin > don’t wanna blow me up or anything?
[ 2010.07.07 15:11:28 ] Silver Rook > I’m sure thanks, concord will rip me a new one
[ 2010.07.07 15:11:39 ] Cyberin > no they won’t you have aggro on me, your entire corp does
[ 2010.07.07 15:11:50 ] Cyberin > come to belt II-2 and see for yourself, i’m flashy red to you
[ 2010.07.07 15:12:26 ] Silver Rook > as wonderful as that sounds I dont want to, I have no skills ; )
[ 2010.07.07 15:13:12 ] Cyberin > neither do i, i’ve only got about 4mil SPs, half of that’s in learning skills, i took a few months break..i just wanna fight someone, i’m bored
[ 2010.07.07 15:13:21 ] Cyberin > fight to hull and don’t kill each other maybe?

Even when I’m being nice they won’t shoot me .  This guy showed up in system after I stole the ore from one of his corp mates.  I thought maybe he was here to protect his brethren…but sadly I was wrong…again.

[ 2010.07.09 04:37:14 ] Zeo Salis > Evening, what can I help you with?
[ 2010.07.09 04:37:19 ] Zeo Salis > nah take it

[ 2010.07.09 04:39:36 ] Cyberin > i’ll be paying you 10mil isk…that will get you started very well
[ 2010.07.09 04:40:47 ] Zeo Salis > i know that you’ll just kill my pod straight out when my ship is gone…
[ 2010.07.09 04:42:08 ] Cyberin > i can’t kill your pod in highsec, concord would kill my ship
[ 2010.07.09 04:42:15 ] Cyberin > you can only kill ships in highsec
[ 2010.07.09 04:42:20 ] Cyberin > unless you are at war, and we aren’t
[ 2010.07.09 04:42:57 ] Zeo Salis > so you want to fight in high sec ?
[ 2010.07.09 04:43:05 ] Zeo Salis > are you mad?
[ 2010.07.09 04:43:29 ] Cyberin > mad?
[ 2010.07.09 04:44:03 ] Cyberin > why would i be mad?
[ 2010.07.09 04:44:14 ] Cyberin > and we are in highsec…so of course i want to fight in highsec…
[ 2010.07.09 04:46:10 ] Zeo Salis > sorry mate, i have much mining to do

I’m 100% certain this guy was an alt, but…he didn’t fight either…damn miners these days. (he was 5 or so days old)

And then there’s the biggest fail of all.  Today while I was running around in Ruvas, I found a group of 5 people, a Hurricane, Osprey, Myrmidon, Raven Navy Issue, and Machariel.  I stopped in there mission, took what salvage I could get (they Osprey and Cane were looting/salvaging)…swiped quite a few wrecks out from under their tractor beams…but didn’t loot because they all had drones out and I didn’t feel like dying in my vigil at the time.

A few hours later, I found them again, minus the Mach. This time I looted, waited about 3 minutes, and the Navy Raven shot at me.

Now, I had just put together a Rupture earlier in order to finish killing someones rats to take their mission item (Ship’s Crew from the damaged Heron) so I warp to the Orca, jump in that, and then put the Orca alt into a 2 Large Shield Rep Osprey.  Then I warp back into the first gate and wait.

Soon enough, the Navy Raven warps back in, I point him, kill all his drones with my drones, and start laying into him with my Faction EMP (with my horrible noob skills).  It took me about 10 minutes because I had to keep warping my RR alt in and out because he shot at him too…but I got him down to 20% shields…but I couldn’t keep him capped out with my medium and small neut because I was low on cap and didn’t have any boosters.

So, while I watched one of his friends in a Myrm (the one from his fleet…corp aggro had run out) suicide themselves on me, and made his RR alt warp out in low structure…his ship self destructed and I died a little inside.  But in the end…he shot at a Ninja…and lost his ship.

So, everyone point and laugh at Erlor…and tell him next time to let me blow him up!

[ 2010.07.12 23:16:12 ] Cyberin > ransom?
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:12 ] Erlor > was
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:17 ] Erlor > ?
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:41 ] Cyberin > pay me 500mil and i won’t kill you
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:52 ] Erlor > lol

Apparently he was glad I didn’t have a Cane too…:(

———-

Moral of the story?  Miners need to shoot more, and I am buying a Hurricane and a better gank fit Rupture tomorrow.  I’d have killed him if I had either a Cane, or a cap booster on my Rupture …thems the breaks though.

Hopefully I’ll have some wonderful Tears for everyone soon…I plan on going on a rampage this weekend.

Oh, and that guy that I took his Heron Crew? here’s a short chat with him…which is where he annoyed me, and made me spend 2 hours killing those rats in the last room with my shitty Rupture just to get his mission item to sell back to him.  It’s on contract for 10mil now.

He came back in a Manticore after I looted his wrecks but even though he had a friend there with him he wouldn’t shoot a second time (he had shot before while he was in a Navy Raven (yes, 2 shot at me today)…but had docked to wait out the timer.  And then I guess he thought I was a noob and tried to get me to concord myself…lol.

[ 2010.07.12 17:54:54 ] Cyberin > i am red to you because i took your stuff, you are not red to me
[ 2010.07.12 17:55:00 ] Kaverus > i already looted your junk
[ 2010.07.12 17:55:05 ] Cyberin > no you didn’t
[ 2010.07.12 17:55:11 ] Kaverus > already took shots

[ 2010.07.12 17:55:17 ] Cyberin > that aggro ran out already
[ 2010.07.12 17:55:20 ] Cyberin > it only lasts for 15 minutes
[ 2010.07.12 17:55:30 ] Cyberin > believe me…if i could shoot at you i would be
[ 2010.07.12 17:55:39 ] Kaverus > ah one sec

[ 2010.07.12 17:57:25 ] Kaverus > nope i like waisting your time noob
[ 2010.07.12 17:57:34 ] Cyberin > i have nothing better to do with my time at the moment
[ 2010.07.12 17:57:45 ] Kaverus > have to bring frieends to fight your fights
[ 2010.07.12 17:57:51 ] Kaverus > your the noob who cant do a mission
[ 2010.07.12 17:57:55 ] Kaverus > so you gotta steal others
[ 2010.07.12 17:57:57 ] Cyberin > that’s me
[ 2010.07.12 17:58:05 ] Kaverus > exactlly
[ 2010.07.12 17:58:07 ] Kaverus > i have all day
[ 2010.07.12 17:58:10 ] Cyberin > me too
[ 2010.07.12 17:58:29 ] Kaverus > kk lets see how long you can last
[ 2010.07.12 17:59:20 ] Cyberin > most likely i’ll head into the next room soon and start shooting your rats

See, that didn’t take long.

I finally got over all the crap that happened recently (figures it’s like 3 days after I say I’m quiting).  Not sure how much blogging I’ll be doing to start with…but at least I’m back in the game a bit

Greetings fellow readers and trolls.  As you’ve noticed, I haven’t updated the blog in over two months.  Blah Blah Blah right?

Life has hit me once again, with work, travel, family, and my best friend killing himself…I’ve decided to hang up EVE for more important things at the moment.  I’m not saying I won’t be back (because come on…I always come back…).

Just thought I’d provide a little closure to those wondering where I’ve been.

I’m late as always…I still have 300 blogs to finish reading in my google reader…so I’m like 1.5-2 weeks behind on all my comments and replies at the moment…I get it down to 200…go to sleep…and wake up to 301…

Anyway, Rixx posted a new blogger Meme about what ships we are flying.  Original post is over here.

———-

I’ve got ships all over, some I use, so I don’t…whatever.

Orca (Bobo)- Orca alt flies this…obviously.  It’s good for shenanigans.

Dominix – Left over from last reroll, it’s sitting in Hevrice…I can’t fly it…it’s shield purger rigged…if anyone wants to buy a domi…let me know.

Osprey (Blue Streams, and NoobAlt’s Osprey) – Noob alt has one to…well…do nothing with, Orca alt uses one for Shield rep.

Thrasher (Praetor, OH Shit SON!, Over There) – These are used for either running level 1 and 2 missions (yes…I do do them sometimes…everyone needs standings), suicide ganking people, or sitting in Jita, sensor boosted…killing suiciders or-10s.

Coercer (No Name) – Left over from a few weeks ago when I had the great idea to switch to Amarrian ships…I changed my mind.

Bestower (Golden Turd) – Hauler…or bait…you pick

Badger Mark II (Porcheesy) – Bait…(when I can fly it anyway…can’t yet)

Exequror (Cold Dish) – Armor Repper for Orca Alt

Rifter (Diplomacy, Don’t Shot Please!, Never Gonna…) – I use these for can flipping, and other fun stuff.  Either active tanked, or buffer tanked…usually buffer tanked.

Vigil (Hands Off, My Loots!, Sexy, Flipper, Bestower) – These are useful.  Either Salvaging, Safe Spot Making, or Can flipping. (story about that coming soon )

Probe (No Ninja) – Scanner

It used to be a lot more, but since I rerolled again…can’t really fly much
