I'm a whiney bitch and I'm taking a break.

Yesterday I undocked in my Sentinel. The past few days I've been able to fly it properly (EWAR frig 4 recently finished) and I've been extremely eager to try it out. I've seen alot of people fly it really well. Be it by taking out larger ships, larger gangs, or just being able to screw over an enemy gang with Tracking Disruptor's and Nuets.

I've also seen people fly it badly. Hi Inertial. Hi Blammo.

Anywho, as I said, I've been wanting to test this ship out the past few days. I've spent my time roaming 30-50 jumps through the most busiest systems in EvE only to find one thing.

FUCKING PUSSIES.

Nobody wants a fair fight. Hell nobody wants a slightly uneven fight. I saw a Crusader, Retribution and a Dramiel RUN from my Sentinel today, and the day before that I saw a COMMAND SHIP run from it. Not just any command ship either, it was a bloody Nighthawk.

The only person I've managed to kill was some guy in a Hurricane ratting in a belt. And while the Sentinel did perform admirably I just want a proper fight (He had killed most of my drones with his double webs, and I had forgot to load tracking scripts... so I had to call in backup). A fight like you always used to get in the old days if you roamed enough. One where its just two guys, looking for abit of fun and not just a killmail... anyone else remember that?

Nowadays, low sec is full of Faction war. High security status PvP'ers who never leave the safety of the sentry guns, and people who just hunt for Killmails by sticking 50 T2 cruisers on a guy in a Rupture.

I've always liked soling, I find it relaxing and kinda fun. But I think its time we called it. In low sec... Soloing is dead.

Then there is the news (.pdf file) that Low sec will not be getting looked at for at least 18 months and that CCP will be spending all our cash on Dust and Incarna. Which nobody really wants anyway.

Well, maybe Incarna. Walking around in stations will be pretty cool I guess. But there is alot more pressing issues that need fixing first.

Fix the game we pay for CCP, not some turd thats probably going to fail anyway.

So this is me signing out for a break. Again. I will still be playing EvE, but not as much as normal, which means my blog post will dwindle abit, and my PvP video will be... delayed. But I have got a little footage! So its definitely going to be out someday!

Your top 5 ships... ever!

So after reading Mail Lites blog post, I've decided to do something similar. These are my favourite ships in EvE:

#5


The Rapier/Huginn

I used to fly this every single time on a roam. Its just so dam awesome. Its mostly used as a scout/tackle ship and it pairs very very well with an Arazu/Lachesis. I like the green engine exhausts on the Huginn, and I wish CCP put them on the Rapier.

The Rapier is flown by our super efficient scout Necio. Some say he's actually a Rapier IRL.

#4

The Crusader

I haven't got to fly this ship much yet, as I was only able to get in it two days ago. But so far its been pretty cool, its a great tackler, its speedy, and it looks god-dam-sexy.

I have always wanted to fly one after seeing Golden Helmet fly one back in the old days of Python. He used to fly nothing but Crusaders. Did I say fly? I meant, he used to die in nothing but Crusaders.

#3


The Sabre

Its basically a shiny Thrasher on steroids, but its one of the most fun ships in the game at the minute. Its fast, has huge alpha (when fitted with arties) and looks like a mini Cyclone. I actually fly these in low sec, fitted with no tank, just arties and speed. Their great, but cost a bomb... so I don't fly them as much as I'd want too.

#2


The Tempest

Awesomest of the awesome its the Tempest at #2. This is my most used ship and I use it for literally everything. Its just so versatile! You can fit it for Sniping, DPS, Nano, Passive shield tank, Passive armor tank with RRs, active shield tank, active armor tank AND you can PvE in it. You just never know what to expect from a Tempest

And it has sails. Every pirate needs sails.

#1 THE BESTEST SHIP OF THE BEST BESTEST BEST EVER IN THE WHOLE WORLD OF EVE EVER.


The Tempest Fleet Issue.

Of course! The only ship that could possibly be better than the Tempest is another Tempest! With improved sails and even more rust... it is to me: The Greatest ship in EvE!

Size matters

Behold, the biggest penis in the Galaxy, with a girth of over 50km wide and a length of 200km (including the balls!).

Thanks to Golden Helmet for not ADD-ing out and ERECTING such a display of Python spirit.




Tickets to visit this spectacular monument are now on sale. For only £1million isk, made payable directly to "The Python Cartel." (don't forget the . ), you can gaze in awe and wonder at this magnificent sight.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! It wont be long till the fascist Dev's at CCP dissemble this mighty monument to the male reproductive organ.

DISCLAIMER
The payment of one million isk must be made upon entering Resbroko. Failure to do so will result in your ship being targeted and maybe destroyed.

Oh, and even if you do pay for tickets. Your ship will also probably be targeted... and maybe destroyed.

SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED.

Some people dropped points for a target painter, and one of us was actualy flying a Lachesis for the awesome point range.

As always we headed for faction war land in the search of a blob. Our first stop was Auga and.... it was empty.

Our second stop was Houla, where we managed to get a warp in on some Geddon sparing with his friend in a Macherial. The Macherial managed to get out of range, but the Geddon died quickly as he was in low armor thanks to his friend.

We also got into a little fight on the gate where we killed a Stabber and a Crusader. But still, nothing really exciting. So I decided to do our favourite trick to getting a fight. Head to Amamake, smack in local for abit, and hope that someone gets so pissed at us they formed a gang to kill us.

In Amamake we arrived, and the smack began;

40 minutes we waited. 40 minutes of constant smack, and even with 30-50 people in local nobody would fight our 8 man gang sitting in the top belt.

With everybody getting bored we figured we would just head home, where we had heard about a EvE-Uni Carrier sitting outside our home station. For those unaware what EvE Uni is, its basically an EvE training corp. It has alot of members but most of them are clueless with very poorly fit ships. They do seem to throw thier ships at anything that moves (alot like we do) so we thought maybe we could get a decent fight out of them.

We arrived in Resbroko to see a cyno up outside the station. We warped to the cyno, and quickly dispatched the Merlin that was being repped by a Thanatos. I told everyone to just aggress the Thanatos for lulz, and we did. His shield slowly went down and as it was about to enter armor, a Revalation Dreadnought undocked.

"Just Keep moving, it wont be able to track you" said Golden Helmet in his sexy pre-pubescent voice.

We did keep moving, and GH was right! it couldn't really track us. Then to our complete surprise, the Carrier entered Triage! WTF! he wasn't even repping anybody! I decided to get my Niddy and I told everyone else to get in something abit more BEEFY with some Nuetage.

As I undocked I noticed a small local spike of about 5-10, so I decided to not aggress for now. Just in case. Checking scan every few seconds, we saw nothing but a bunch of frigates on scan. I told everyone to keep shooting the Thanny. What would a bunch of Frigs do against BS's with a Carrier repping them?

Then local spiked again.

By 120.

With local now at 150 we decided it would be a very good idea to simply de-aggress. Even if they were in frigates, that is still alot of DEEPS.

They wasn't in frigs tho, they were in BS's, Dreadnoughts, BCs and other assorted ships. When they landed they all began shooting my Carrier. I wasn't aggressed, so I could dock at any time, but I stayed out long enough to keep a few of our guys alive long enough for them to dock. Luckily, they focused most of their attention on me, so it was quite easy.

Our corp docked up and I followed soon after with nearly all my armor on my Carrier blown away.



HOLY BLOB BATMAN! (Thanks Inka for the ss)


All was well. Tho for some reason Super-Jaxx decided to would be a good idea to try and tank 150 pilots with his Ishtar. Needless to say, it didn't end well. He ended up losing his Ishtar.

And his pod.


Twice.


I love you Jaxx.
