Hands Off, My Loots!

Wow…just wow. What you are about to read is probably the best I’ve ever done with a single target. While there are a bit of tears, it is mostly filled with stupid losses, more ISK than brains, and in the end…the transformation of a stubborn miner (or…0.0 alt…whichever way you want to believe) into a pacified customer looking for a few new ships.

You met him in my last post, but here and now, you are going to hear the wonderful story of Kiernance…mighty pvp miner!

After I killed piro95’s vexor like you learned earlier, I saw this in local…which of course got the ball rolling on this whole event.

[ 2010.03.13 05:04:47 ] Kiernance > k

Really? Sweet. At this point, I’m thinking he want’s to gank me because I stole his ore earlier. In a little while, I actually find out that he’s just bored and wants to throw away some ISK.

I couldn’t help but leave that part in there…if you can figure out what piro is babbling on about…more power to ya.

Mr. PvP Miner is going to agro me, a rather notorious Ninja…in a 550 Million ISK ship (750mil with the fit actually). Anyone that knows anything knows that it’s not smart to shoot ninjas. Specially since as you see later, he says he’s a null sec guy and this is just an alt…he should know better…but he doesn’t.

Lets have a talk Kier if you don’t mind. I need time for the Torp fitted Gank Raven that Hallax is flying, and Onilan’s Rupture to get here, they need a little more time please. Thanks!

Now, this is normally pretty top secret stuff…but I’m gonna let you read what the chat log of a quickly thrown together Ninja Gank Squad looks like. Hope you enjoy!

This next part is out of order now because of that fleet chat, but pretend you didn’t read that, and this happens before we blow him up, but after we get him, and hold him, in structure. I’d also like to point out, that after you see the fit…you might wonder why he kept all his high slots trained on me…the noob in the rifter, rather than the two other people. He could have capped them out and escaped…but didn’t. Reason…he’s…not…an…alt.

[ 2010.03.13 05:23:15 ] Cyberin > up for a ransom?
[ 2010.03.13 05:23:20 ] Kiernance > yea

[ 2010.03.13 05:24:55 ] Kiernance > k
[ 2010.03.13 05:26:03 ] Cyberin > how’s 400 mil sound?

Just to point out…this guy was flashy red to me and my corp, sitting in a belt, not aligned, not moving, with no drones out, didn’t have me locked…for 6 minutes. 6 minutes to warp out because I didn’t have him pointed. 6 minutes to warp out because he realized I was stalling because he’s an experienced null sec guy that should know this. 6 minutes to warp out because he realized he’s being a fucking idiot. 6 minutes to sit there, and lose a 750 Million ISK ship for no reason…sadly, I was too busy during the fight to grab a screenshot.

I waited for both my corp mates to get outside the system, and he still wasn’t aligned. I told them to jump in and align to belt, he still didn’t align. I told them to warp to me, and did not turn on my Warp Scrambler until they LANDED IN THE BELT WITH ME. So much for checking your directional scanner. These are more reasons I think this guy is not an alt…I think they are good reasons.

[ 2010.03.13 05:38:09 ] Kiernance > don’t spend it all in one place or blow it on exotic dancers
[ 2010.03.13 05:38:34 ] Kiernance > lmao
[ 2010.03.13 05:38:46 ] Cyberin > i’ll try to not buy too many

You pirates will cringe. But, well…I’m not a pirate…and dishonoring ransoms doesn’t hurt me in anyway because the people I prey on are too idiotic to think about it, and because I don’t care that much about the ISK anyway. We discussed it in fleet chat, and decided we would like to have the killmail, and to teach him a little bit of a harder lesson. So we blew the shit out of him…he melted like butter. We even let another corpy that was close by get in system to get on the killmail, though he didn’t get a share of the loot since he didn’t really help…us ninjas are greedy like that! (actually, I offered, but he told us to keep it).

[ 2010.03.13 05:39:05 ] Cyberin > i can’t believe you actually were dumb enough to shoot a ninja in that thing…
[ 2010.03.13 05:39:05 ] Kiernance > k
[ 2010.03.13 05:39:10 ] Cyberin > haven’t you ever heard of our corp, or read our blogs?
[ 2010.03.13 05:39:16 ] Kiernance > i was bored
[ 2010.03.13 05:39:32 ] Cyberin > ah, yes…losing 500mil isk ships when bored is a smart idea

I can’t really respond to that…that’s about as good as it gets. Or is it?

Herr Wilkus is known for 2 things mostly within our alliance. He runs our investment program, and he kills Hulks…lots of them…

He answer my evemail, and was excited to help me out. So, while the chat logs are rather dry…and there are actually no real tears from Kiernance about the whole issue…it was a fun, and eventful morning/afternoon for me.

I wasn’t content with just taking his Domi, and his 400mil ISK. I wanted his hulk. After about an hour or so of planning, scouting, and moving his ship into position with my help, Herr Wilkus destroyed Kiernance’s hulk with 1 volley, in an Ice Belt in a 0.7sec system, with dozens of mackinaws watching.

After Wilkus popped him, he sent the standard EVEMAIL he sends to all his victims.

Oh, and for anyone wondering how my rampage through the Caretyn system worked for the locals.  When I left for work that day…there were no cans in the belts, and no less than 7 people in iterons mining directly into their holds. 2 of them were from piro95’s corp.

First off, before I go any further and forget, I wanted to throw a teaser out there for everyone to ponder about, because I’m an evil ass like that. Me and another corp mate were having a talk earlier today, and decided we are going to have a discussion in the corp forums about a new, rather fun project for the ninjas. So…hopefully you’ll hear something about that in the near future. No…you can’t have any hints.

Without further ado…

I’m flying around in my rifter, looking for some miners to kill and some ore to liberate when I jump into Chelien and am greeted in local by some guy taunting another guy…sounds like something I’d do. As their convo continues I’m roaming the belts doing my thing, when I happen upon a can that was left (as bait most likely) by the aforementioned taunter…so, knowing I’ll get a fight most likely…I grab it, and continue my search.

The smack is still going in local, and I take the opportunity to align my Orca alt to the belt I’m going to try and fight him in so I can warp him straight to me. I do this so I can play shenanigans and switch out rifters if I’m about to die, because…since I restarted my character…my pvp skills aren’t the greatest and I need all the help I can get. As I warp out of this belt to try and find him, he warps in just as I enter warp. Crap! Luckily I warped to the next belt at 100 and he followed…because while I was aligning back to where I just came from he showed up in the new belt at 0 and saw me at 100. So, I warped back at 100 hoping he’d get the hint…and he did, as when I landed, he showed up a few seconds later…about 30km from me…having warped to 70.

I took a few seconds while I was closing the distance to switch over to my other client and warp the orca to me at 0. And we began to fight around it.

He went through my shields and armor pretty quickly, but since I had 8 more rifters in the Orca, I hopped in one of those and get a fresh start. Also, a few seconds earlier, a neutral rifter warped in near us as well. I thought this was his friend, and as you’ll read in a bit…he thought it was mine.

[ 2010.03.11 16:34:19 ] Cyberin > yeah, i’ve never done it in a frig fight before, seems like it might be fun though
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:33 ] Cyberin > my skills suck…so…i need some sort of advantage…
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:39 ] Cyberin > if i can even break your tank…lol
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:45 ] ihcn > nope

I didn’t think I’d break his tanked, but just as it seemed I might be wrong and his armor appeared to be SLOWLY going down…I switched to a new ship..and he got bored and warped before I could point him again.

[ 2010.03.11 16:36:13 ] ihcn > welp, good fight
[ 2010.03.11 16:36:22 ] ihcn > that was a good tactic

[ 2010.03.11 16:38:22 ] Cyberin > can’t get too far away from it

A little bit later he opens a convo, trying to figure out what happened. Apparently he didn’t realize I was using the Orca. He thought I was switching ships with the neutral rifter that was there, while the neutral guy repaired the ship so I could jump back in again. That would be neat, but…don’t think that would work quick enough to actually do though.

[ 2010.03.11 16:48:56 ] ihcn > have a good day

2 days later…I caught myself a Hyperion!…in my rifter…(please note, I’m using chat logs from Alliance, Corp, Private, Fleet, and the Bloggers Channel…so times could get a bit confusing here…but I’ll do my best to make it make sense, best off to just ignore the times on these chat logs for the best effect)

I was out salvaging this time; rather than can-flipping…gotta change it up a bit you know. I got a hit on a Hyperion so thought I’d go get some salvage. The plan was to just salvage, and not loot…but I found a nice expensive microwarp drive in one of the wrecks…so I just had to. Apparently…the Hyp pilot didn’t think I’d be much of a threat (he was right) so he shot at me. Warp drive activated, off to the Orca I went to grab a retriever. I knew I couldn’t kill him…but, well…I’ll work something out later I guess.

[ 2010.03.13 00:59:58 ] Cyberin > lol, i have a hyperion tackled with my rifter…

I got back to the mission, and there he was. Pointed, Webbed, and Guns blazing…I took some time out to move the guns and web over to his drones…and killed those off. After the drones, I focused back on him. Got his shields down…and then…well…yeah, I got his shields down.

Sometime during all that waiting, Lazy Eyeh (corp mate) came out to see if he could get agro by repping me in a domi…didn’t work, so instead I just had him go get me some faction ammo incase Gfy decided to try a logoffski. I could have gotten it myself with the orca, but I didn’t think about it after Lazy offered.

I’ve changed my mind about the other chat logs, they are long, boring, and just lots of comments with me asking if people thought a small neut could take down the cap of a Hyperion. Also tried to plan some ideas in corp chat. The best one, and the one I was going to try, was to throw 3 small neuts on my rifter, and have someone cap transfer me hoping that Gfy was AFK. So, I decided to grab one of my other Rifters out of the Orca to do that with, thinking I could have one to cap him out, and then switch to the combat one with the faction ammo after that was done. Well…all didn’t go as planned.

[ 2010.03.13 02:58:48 ] Cyberin > damn it Gfy, you were supposed to be afk
[ 2010.03.13 02:59:30 ] Gfy Trextron > lol
[ 2010.03.13 02:59:39 ] Cyberin >
[ 2010.03.13 02:59:43 ] Gfy Trextron >

Earlier in the day, I noticed my ships in the Orca had all their mods offlined for some reason, not sure why. But, I managed to grab the ONLY rifter that I hadn’t reonlined the stuff…and couldn’t get the point onlined before he warped out…apparently he wasn’t AFK.

So, I worked on this post for a little over an hour, highlighted 95% of it, then hit delete instead of control+C…and the wordpress autosaved…I was a bit upset with myself, but here I am, doing it again.

———-

Since I came back to EVE I’ve been doing a bit of Can Flipping and Ninjaing, while training a few basic skills. I’m going to be focussing on getting the learning skills up before the end of April though, that’s my goal…to have those at 5/4 and then throw in the basic core skills.

So, at the moment I’ve flying a Vigil, Probe, and a crappily skilled Rifter…along with my Orca alt to follow me around and do whatever I tell him to. I’ve had a bit of fun so far.

I’ve gotten 2 kills so far, so let me tell you a bit about them, and then I’ll get into a few short chat logs from recent Mission Runners…which I know you all are anxiously waiting for…though, they aren’t THAT good…give me time though!

This first kill is rather lackluster…but a kill is a kill. Not much to say about it so I won’t even bother with the chat log. The jist of the story is I stole some Ore from this noob in a navitas, he convo’d me and asked what I was doing. I told him I was sorry and he could have the ore back. He took it, said thank you, I blew him up…end of story.

The next one was a bit more entertaining for me. I was chilling in Fricoure, skimming through the belts looking for someone to play with before I started searching for some MRs. Low and Behold there is a retriever just happily mining away, tossing his unwanted ore into space. I couldn’t really figure out why he was mining if he didn’t want the ore, but whatever…I went over and took it.

He immediately locked me up, flipped the ore back into his own can, and sent his drones after me. Sweet! I locked up his drones, locked him, pointed him, and started chewing through his T1 drones. Then, silly old me turned off my point . (I had moved it to F2 and forgot about that, though I was reengaging my rockets…oops). Got him into armor and then he warped out.

So, I’m waiting in the belt for my Orca to warp in and grab the ore…when a flashy red Celestis drops in and locks me up while launching 4 more T1 drones. Wow…so I am getting lucky today. Off go my Meta 2 Autocannons and Rocket Launcher while I make sure to not turn off my point this time. Web and pop the drones, and then proceed the 5 minute ordeal of killing his cruiser (noob skills for the win?). During the process I switched ammo a few times to see what would work best, EMP S was the order of the day in the end. During this time the Orca managed to warp in and get me almost a full can of ore.

Then he blew up and warped to the station, where I promptly followed to see if he’d undock in something else. He undocked once in an Exquerer, and redocked when I shot him. After that he let the aggro run out while one of his corp mates warped in in an Ishtar…about 10 minutes after the corp aggro had warn out. Oops?

[ 2010.03.11 15:02:42 ] Ivanna Nuke > It holds the cowbell

Apparently Krunak (which by the way, is on my overview right now as I type this…/evilgrin) was blind and didn’t see how many people were attacking him. Usually I’d give him the shadow of a doubt that maybe he thought my drones were other attackers…but…um…I was in a Rifter.

And as you can see there at the end, Ivanna Nuke from over at Nukes Thoughts was there helping out in local…I must say though, he was rather fond of the Cowbell…talked about it all day. Go read his blog, I hand out with him from time to time and we are always talking about fun ways of getting Tears .

———-

Now, who wants those yummy Mission Runner tears I was talking about?

Episode 1:

This wasn’t really my MR…but there was a fellow Ninja from The Ninja Alliance channel running about in system, so I thought I’d give him a little help in local while he was collecting his own tears, I just felt like mentioning it here!

Episode 2:

This guy was a trip…

Scanned me down a Kronos, and proceeded to start cleaning up his mess. He responded by shooting his wrecks for a little while .

[ 2010.03.12 14:50:37 ] Cyberin > that’s right, blow them ALL up…if you can’t have them, no one can! go go go gadget Urdnaxela
[ 2010.03.12 14:51:28 ] Urdnaxela Carab > fuck off

[ 2010.03.12 14:56:26 ] Urdnaxela Carab > i’ll just let you have them
[ 2010.03.12 14:56:37 ] Cyberin > how nice of you
[ 2010.03.12 14:57:26 ] Cyberin > oh no Urd…you seem to have left 2 BS’s here…

Through the course of 6 minutes, he went from shooting wrecks, to tractoring them in vain as I just grabbed them out of his beams, to rage logging while still in the first pocket of his 3 pocket mission. I count that as a win, and being the generous person I am…I ran around and finished grabbing everything there was while I ignored the 2 Battleship NPCs shooting at me.

Episode 3: (Reason for Title…)

After the Kronos, I found a Navy Megathron hit and was hoping for some fun with him since they are usually whiny little bitches that like to shoot at you. I wasn’t rewarded with either of those really…but, it was entertaining anyway.

Was hoping for Tears, and all I get is “permission” to loot and salvage his stuff…as if I was going to ask him in the first place.

So, off I go, looting the decent stuff, salvaging…all the normal stuff. I finally get to the last room that he is in now and have the following conversation with him when he reopens convo after seeing that I looted. Not spectacular, but…I thought it was enjoyable…more enjoyable that the boring silence had been anyway.

See? They CAN be tamed! Oh, and in case anyone has any further questions…Stennar said I was good…so, it can’t be debated anymore!

That’s that for now…stay tuned for the 3rd Installment of my “Catch-Up” posts…where I continue to throw out my opinions of all the stuff that went on while I was away for a month or so.

And, as a final word…here’s something I saw on OMGRAWR at work the other day, and thought it fit me very well!

“I believe in Karma. Which means i can do bad things to people all day long, secure in the knowledge that they deserve it.”

I was sitting in Dodixie, Moon 20 Station, spinning my ship…when all of a sudden a thought hit me.  “Go find a noob to kill,” my mind said to myself…I agreed, so it was time to prepare.

Preparation was simple, load up the Orca alt with a Wolf, Hound, Cheetah, Rifter, Shuttle, Reaper, and a Hurricane; then pilot him over to Vittenyn while Cyberin brings along the Scorpion.  Of course, that’s a little out of order, because I actually went there in my Gank Catalyst first, killed a Retriever, and then when he came back in a Myrmidon, I decided to do all of the above in order to have a very high chance of getting to kill him.  So, after killing his Retriever…and Concord killing me…the saga begins…

And as always for the people who like a short version…I ganked a guy in a retriever, then killed his Myrm, then killed another guy later in an Incursus.  Seriously…read the rest of the post…it isn’t THAT long

Well…as always, I said I was going to pay better attention to my skills and stuff like that for making these Character Review posts…but October was rather hectic…and then at the end of the month someone tried to break into my house so I’ve been busy getting an alarm system…calming the wife down, etc…so it’s a little late to boot!

First off, on Cyberin…I still haven’t started working on my learning skills yet….still 40 days to go to get all the basics to level 5 and advanced to level 4…it’ll happen one of these days, I’ve just had other stuff that’s more important to me for the short term.

I worked on getting some drone skills up because I’ve decided I like them again.  Can use T2 Lights and Mediums, along with all the ECM, Logistics, and other drones like that.  I also worked on my Remote Repair skills and now have 2 fully fitting Remote Rep cruisers sitting in station for when they are needed…one for shield (Osprey) and one for armor (Exequror).

Somewhere in there I also decided to get my scanning skills up to level 3 all around, with a plan of getting them to 4 in the near future.  Other than that, I started training a few support skills that I’ve been neglecting…and then as I normally do, I try to buy all the skill book that’s I have the prereqs for (except those rather expensive ones) which is why I have so many level 1 skills…I just can’t help myself.  I think I also threw in some missioning skills (diplomacy, etc) somewhere in October…trying to get my standings up a little for selling/refining purposes.

Ship wise…I cross trained into a few other ships…I can fly all the T1 Frigates, all cruisers except Amarr, and Caldari Battleships now…along with Minmatar, Caldari, and Gallente Battlecruisers…although, weapon wise I have to use most of the high meta stuff…still gotta work on the fitting skills for them sometime.

The Nameless Alt got into an Orca last week and I’ve been enjoying that a lot…already used it in one Corp salvaging op as a central base of operations…and it makes for an excellent time while I’m solo salvaging.  My plan now is to do a few more support skills to get a decent fit on the orca, and then I’ll be mixing my training time between skills for Logistics Ships, and Command Ships…since I want this guy to be purely a support character for me and other corp ops.

Also finished Cloaking IV so I can put that lovely Covert Ops cloak on the Blockade Runner!
